From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi, These patches add support for using large ROX pages for allocations of executable memory on x86. They address Andy's comments [1] about having executable mappings for code that was not completely formed. The approach taken is to allocate ROX memory along with writable but not executable memory and use the writable copy to perform relocations and alternatives patching. After the module text gets into its final shape, the contents of the writable memory is copied into the actual ROX location using text poking. The allocations of the ROX memory use vmalloc(VMAP_ALLOW_HUGE_MAP) to allocate PMD aligned memory, fill that memory with invalid instructions and in the end remap it as ROX. Portions of these large pages are handed out to execmem_alloc() callers without any changes to the permissions. When the memory is freed with execmem_free() it is invalidated again so that it won't contain stale instructions. The module memory allocation, x86 code dealing with relocations and alternatives patching takes into account the existence of the two copies, the writable memory and the ROX memory at the actual allocated virtual address. This is an early RFC, it is not well tested and there is a lot of room for improvement. For example, the locking of execmem_cache can be made more fine grained, freeing of PMD-sized pages from execmem_cache can be implemented with a shrinker, the large pages can be removed from the direct map when they are added to the cache and restored there when they are free from the cache. Still, I'd like to hear feedback on the approach in general before moving forward with polishing the details. The series applies on top of v4 of "jit/text allocator" [2] and also available at git: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rppt/linux.git/log/?h=execmem/v4%2bx86-rox [1]
