ARM: fix get_user_pages_fast

2017-11-21T14:45:36Z

Ensure that get_user_pages_fast() is not able to access memory which has been mapped with PROT_NONE. Reported-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Russell King

arch, mm: convert all architectures to use 5level-fixup.h

2017-03-09T19:48:47Z

If an architecture uses 4level-fixup.h we don't need to do anything as it includes 5level-fixup.h. If an architecture uses pgtable-nop*d.h, define __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK before inclusion of the header. It makes asm-generic code to use 5level-fixup.h. If an architecture has 4-level paging or folds levels on its own, include 5level-fixup.h directly. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Acked-by: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

arm/arm64: KVM: Make default HYP mappings non-excutable

2016-06-29T12:01:34Z

Structures that can be generally written to don't have any requirement to be executable (quite the opposite). This includes the kvm and vcpu structures, as well as the stacks. Let's change the default to incorporate the XN flag. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

arm/arm64: KVM: Map the HYP text as read-only

2016-06-29T12:01:34Z

There should be no reason for mapping the HYP text read/write. As such, let's have a new set of flags (PAGE_HYP_EXEC) that allows execution, but makes the page as read-only, and update the two call sites that deal with mapping code. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

arm/arm64: KVM: Enforce HYP read-only mapping of the kernel's rodata section

2016-06-29T11:59:14Z

In order to be able to use C code in HYP, we're now mapping the kernel's rodata in HYP. It works absolutely fine, except that we're mapping it RWX, which is not what it should be. Add a new HYP_PAGE_RO protection, and pass it as the protection flags when mapping the rodata section. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall

ARM: 8578/1: mm: ensure pmd_present only checks the valid bit

2016-06-09T16:51:47Z

In a subsequent patch, pmd_mknotpresent will clear the valid bit of the pmd entry, resulting in a not-present entry from the hardware's perspective. Unfortunately, pmd_present simply checks for a non-zero pmd value and will therefore continue to return true even after a pmd_mknotpresent operation. Since pmd_mknotpresent is only used for managing huge entries, this is only an issue for the 3-level case. This patch fixes the 3-level pmd_present implementation to take into account the valid bit. For bisectability, the change is made before the fix to pmd_mknotpresent.

ARM: 8432/1: move VMALLOC_END from 0xff000000 to 0xff800000

2015-09-22T07:13:57Z

There is a 12MB unused region in our memory map between the vmalloc and fixmap areas. This became unused with commit e9da6e9905e6, confirmed with commit 64d3b6a3f480. We also have a 8MB guard area before the vmalloc area. With the default 240MB vmalloc area size and the current VMALLOC_END definition, that means the end of low memory ends up at 0xef800000 which is unfortunate for 768MB machines where 8MB of RAM is lost to himem. Let's move VMALLOC_END to 0xff800000 so the guard area won't chop the top of the 768MB low memory area while keeping the default vmalloc area size unchanged and still preserving a gap between the vmalloc and fixmap areas.

arm: drop L_PTE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers

2015-02-10T22:30:31Z

We've replaced remap_file_pages(2) implementation with emulation. Nobody creates non-linear mapping anymore. This patch also adjust __SWP_TYPE_SHIFT, effectively increase size of possible swap file to 128G. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
