arm64: Fix THP protection change logic

2015-10-27T00:53:43+00:00

commit 1a541b4e3cd6f5795022514114854b3e1345f24e upstream.

6910fa1 ("arm64: enable PTE type bit in the mask for pte_modify") fixes
a problem whereby a large block of PROT_NONE mapped memory is
incorrectly mapped as block descriptors when mprotect is called.

Unfortunately, a subtle bug was introduced by this fix to the THP logic.

If one mmaps a large block of memory, then faults it such that it is
collapsed into THPs; resulting calls to mprotect on this area of memory
will lead to incorrect table descriptors being written instead of block
descriptors. This is because pmd_modify calls pte_modify which is now
allowed to modify the type of the page table entry.

This patch reverts commit 6910fa16dbe142f6a0fd0fd7c249f9883ff7fc8a, and
fixes the problem it was trying to address by adjusting PAGE_NONE to
represent a table entry. Thus no change in pte type is required when
moving from PROT_NONE to a different protection.

arm64: expose number of page table levels on Kconfig level

2015-04-14T23:49:01+00:00

We would want to use number of page table level to define mm_struct.
Let's expose it as CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS.

ARM64_PGTABLE_LEVELS is renamed to PGTABLE_LEVELS and defined before
sourcing init/Kconfig: arch/Kconfig will define default value and it's
sourced from init/Kconfig.

arm64: enable PTE type bit in the mask for pte_modify

2015-02-26T18:30:12+00:00

Caught during Trinity testing. The pte_modify does not allow
modification for PTE type bit. This cause the test to hang
the system. It is found that the PTE can't transit from an
inaccessible page (b00) to a valid page (b11) because the mask
does not allow it. This happens when a big block of mmaped
memory is set the PROT_NONE, then the a small piece is broken
off and set to PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ cause a huge page split.

 "arm64 updates for 3.20:

   - reimplementation of the virtual remapping of UEFI Runtime Services

   - emulation of the "setend" instruction for 32-bit tasks (user
     endianness switching trapped in the kernel, SCTLR_EL1.E0E bit set
     accordingly)
   - compat_sys_call_table implemented in C (from asm) and made it a

   - export CPU cache information via /sys (like other architectures)
   - DMA API implementation clean-up in preparation for IOMMU support
   - macros clean-up for KVM

mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs

2015-02-12T01:06:03+00:00

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
 >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

The code:

 > 2857                WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
   2858                                round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has
the same type -- int.  PUD_SHIFT.

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long.  On every arch for consistency.
