Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
highmem: fix checks in __kmap_local_sched_{in,out}<br />
<br />
When CONFIG_DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL is enabled __kmap_local_sched_{in,out} check<br />
that even slots in the tsk->kmap_ctrl.pteval are unmapped. The slots are<br />
initialized with 0 value, but the check is done with pte_none. 0 pte<br />
however does not necessarily mean that pte_none will return true. e.g.<br />
on xtensa it returns false, resulting in the following runtime warnings:<br />
