ARM: 9409/1: mmu: Do not use magic number for TTBCR settings

2024-08-20T10:18:44Z

The code in early_paging_init is directly masking off bits 8, 9, 10 and 11 to temporarily disable caching of the translation tables. There is some exlanations in the comment, but use some defines instead of magic numbers so ut becomes more evident what is going on. Change the type of the register to u32 since these are indeed unsigned 32bit registers, and use a temporary variable instead of baking too much into the inline assembly call to increase readability.

ARM: 9358/2: Implement PAN for LPAE by TTBR0 page table walks disablement

2024-04-18T11:10:46Z

With LPAE enabled, privileged no-access cannot be enforced using CPU domains as such feature is not available. This patch implements PAN by disabling TTBR0 page table walks while in kernel mode. The ARM architecture allows page table walks to be split between TTBR0 and TTBR1. With LPAE enabled, the split is defined by a combination of TTBCR T0SZ and T1SZ bits. Currently, an LPAE-enabled kernel uses TTBR0 for user addresses and TTBR1 for kernel addresses with the VMSPLIT_2G and VMSPLIT_3G configurations. The main advantage for the 3:1 split is that TTBR1 is reduced to 2 levels, so potentially faster TLB refill (though usually the first level entries are already cached in the TLB). The PAN support on LPAE-enabled kernels uses TTBR0 when running in user space or in kernel space during user access routines (TTBCR T0SZ and T1SZ are both 0). When running user accesses are disabled in kernel mode, TTBR0 page table walks are disabled by setting TTBCR.EPD0. TTBR1 is used for kernel accesses (including loadable modules; anything covered by swapper_pg_dir) by reducing the TTBCR.T0SZ to the minimum (2^(32-7) = 32MB). To avoid user accesses potentially hitting stale TLB entries, the ASID is switched to 0 (reserved) by setting TTBCR.A1 and using the ASID value in TTBR1. The difference from a non-PAN kernel is that with the 3:1 memory split, TTBR1 always uses 3 levels of page tables. As part of the change we are using preprocessor elif definied() clauses so balance these clauses by converting relevant precedingt ifdef clauses to if defined() clauses.

ARM: 8612/1: LPAE: initialize cache policy correctly

2016-09-12T11:12:30Z

The cachepolicy variable gets initialized using a masked pmd value. So far, the pmd has been masked with flags valid for the 2-page table format, but the 3-page table format requires a different mask. On LPAE, this lead to a wrong assumption of what initial cache policy has been used. Later a check forces the cache policy to writealloc and prints the following warning: Forcing write-allocate cache policy for SMP This patch introduces a new definition PMD_SECT_CACHE_MASK for both page table formats which masks in all cache flags in both cases.

ARM: 8235/1: Support for the PXN CPU feature on ARMv7

Modern ARMv7-A/R cores optionally implement below new hardware feature: - PXN: Privileged execute-never(PXN) is a security feature. PXN bit determines whether the processor can execute software from the region. This is effective solution against ret2usr attack. On an implementation that does not include the LPAE, PXN is optionally supported. This patch set PXN bit on user page table for preventing user code execution with privilege mode.

ARM: 8109/1: mm: Modify pte_write and pmd_write logic for LPAE

2014-07-24T13:27:08Z

For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty ptes: L_PTE_DIRTY L_PTE_RDONLY !pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1 !pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1 pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1 pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0 So we can't distinguish between writeable clean ptes and read only ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as read only when they are writeable but not dirty. This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58, and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes and read only ptes. HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically. We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.
