* x86: make spurious fault handler aware of large mappingsThomas Gleixner2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In very rare cases, on certain CPUs, we could end up in the spurious fault handler and ignore a large pud/pmd mapping. The resulting pte pointer points into the mapped physical space and dereferencing it will fault recursively. Make the code aware of large mappings and do the permission check on the pmd/pud entry, when a large pud/pmd mapping is detected.

* x86: use the same pgd_list for PAE and 64-bitJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | Use a standard list threaded through page->lru for maintaining the pgd list on PAE. This is the same as 64-bit, and seems saner than using a non-standard list via page->index.

* x86: shrink some ifdefs in fault.cHarvey Harrison2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | The change from current to tsk in do_page_fault is safe as this is set at the very beginning of the function. Removes a likely() annotation from the 64-bit version, this could have instead been added to 32-bit.

* x86: ignore spurious faultsJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose no security problem. They can, however, generate a spurious fault, which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE). This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics. It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.

* x86: remove nx_enabled from fault.cHarvey Harrison2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | On !PAE 32-bit, _PAGE_NX will be 0, making is_prefetch always return early. The test is sufficient on PAE as __supported_pte_mask is updated in the same places as nx_enabled in init_32.c which also takes disable_nx into account.
