[PATCH 4.9 022/103] arm64: Improve detection of user/non-user mappings in set_pte(_at)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

commit ec663d967b2276448a416406ca59ff247c0c80c5 upstream.

Commit cab15ce604e5 ("arm64: Introduce execute-only page access
permissions") allowed a valid user PTE to have the PTE_USER bit clear.
As a consequence, the pte_valid_not_user() macro in set_pte() was
replaced with pte_valid_global() under the assumption that only user
pages have the nG bit set. EFI mappings, however, also have the nG bit
set and set_pte() wrongly ignores issuing the DSB+ISB.

This patch reinstates the pte_valid_not_user() macro and adds the
PTE_UXN bit check since all kernel mappings have this bit set. For
clarity, pte_exec() is renamed to pte_user_exec() as it only checks for
the absence of PTE_UXN. Consequently, the user executable check in
set_pte_at() drops the pte_ng() test since pte_user_exec() is
sufficient.
