linux-stable.git/arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable.h, branch linux-3.7.y Linux kernel stable tree arm64: mm: only wrprotect clean ptes if they are present 2013-01-21T19:44:32+00:00 Will Deacon will.deacon@arm.com 2013-01-09T11:08:10+00:00 3cfafe0fa8c1d952a0ae2ced0a0817ed9450e3f5 commit 02522463c84748b3b8ad770f9424bcfa70a5b4c4 upstream. Marking non-present ptes as read-only can corrupt file ptes, breaking things like swap and file mappings. This patch ensures that we only manipulate user pte bits when the pte is marked present.

commit 02522463c84748b3b8ad770f9424bcfa70a5b4c4 upstream.

Marking non-present ptes as read-only can corrupt file ptes, breaking
things like swap and file mappings.

This patch ensures that we only manipulate user pte bits when the pte
is marked present.

arm64: Make !dirty ptes read-only 2013-01-11T17:18:17+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2012-11-28T17:06:05+00:00 a5220f902e102b27f529ffe3b9ef221583378597 commit 33eaa58f854770dc9c98411a356c98e3a53edfda upstream. The AArch64 Linux port relies on the mm code to wrprotect clean ptes. This however is not the case with newly created ptes and PAGE_SHARED(_EXEC) is writable but !dirty.

arm64: Distinguish between user and kernel XN bits 2012-11-16T15:50:25+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2012-11-15T17:21:16+00:00 8e620b0476696e9428442d3551f3dad47df0e28f On AArch64, the meaning of the XN bit has changed to UXN (user). The PXN (privileged) bit must be set to prevent kernel execution. Without the PXN bit set, the CPU may speculatively access device memory. This patch ensures that all the mappings that the kernel must not execute from (including user mappings) have the PXN bit set. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

arm64: MMU definitions 2012-09-17T12:41:56+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2012-03-05T11:49:27+00:00 4f04d8f00545110a0e525ae2fb62ab38cb417236 The virtual memory layout is described in Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is 2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration. PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no run-time code patching at this stage). On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are 512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping. Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an additional level of translation tables. The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.
