Subject: arm64: mm: use correct mapping granularity under DEBUG_RODATA
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4fee9f364b9b99f76732f2a6fd6df679a237fa74 upstream.
When booting a 64k pages kernel that is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
and resides at an offset that is not a multiple of 512 MB, the rounding
that occurs in __map_memblock() and fixup_executable() results in
incorrect regions being mapped.
The following snippet from /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables shows
how, when the kernel is loaded 2 MB above the base of DRAM at 0x40000000,
the first 2 MB of memory (which may be inaccessible from non-secure EL1
or just reserved by the firmware) is inadvertently mapped into the end of
the module region.
---[ Modules start ]---
0xfffffdffffe00000-0xfffffe0000000000 2M RW NX ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
---[ Modules end ]---
---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
0xfffffe0000000000-0xfffffe0000090000 576K RW NX ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
0xfffffe0000090000-0xfffffe0000200000 1472K ro x ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
0xfffffe0000200000-0xfffffe0000800000 6M ro x ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
0xfffffe0000800000-0xfffffe0000810000 64K ro x ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
0xfffffe0000810000-0xfffffe0000a00000 1984K RW NX ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
0xfffffe0000a00000-0xfffffe00ffe00000 4084M RW NX ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
The same issue is likely to occur on 16k pages kernels whose load
address is not a multiple of 32 MB (i.e., SECTION_SIZE). So round to
SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE instead of SECTION_SIZE.
