* ARM: pgtable: provide RDONLY page table bit rather than WRITE bitRussell King2010-12-22
| | | | Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: invert L_PTE_EXEC to L_PTE_XNRussell King2010-12-22
| | | | | | | | The hardware page tables use an XN bit 'execute never'. Historically, we've had a Linux 'execute allow' bit, in the positive sense. Get rid of this artifact as future hardware will continue to have the XN sense. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: remove FIRST_USER_PGD_NRRussell King2010-12-22
| | | | | | | | FIRST_USER_PGD_NR is now unnecessary, as this has been replaced by FIRST_USER_ADDRESS except in the architecture code. Fix up the last usage of FIRST_USER_PGD_NR, and remove the definition. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: use conventional page table code for identity mappingsRussell King2010-12-22
| | | | | | | | | Remove some knowledge of our 2-level page table layout from the identity mapping code - we assume that a step size of PGDIR_SIZE will allow us to step over all entries. While this is true today, it won't be true in the near future. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: collect up identity mapping functionsRussell King2010-12-22
| | | | | | | | | We have two places where we create identity mappings - one when we bring secondary CPUs online, and one where we setup some mappings for soft- reboot. Combine these two into a single implementation. Also collect the identity mapping deletion function. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: remove L2 cache flushes for SMP page table bring-upRussell King2010-12-22
| | | | | | | | The MMU is always configured to read page tables from the L2 cache so there's little point flushing them out of the L2 cache back to RAM. Remove these flushes. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: switch order of Linux vs hardware page tablesRussell King2010-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page table walks. As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking it away, along with the other control bits. This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: introduce pteval_t to represent a pte valueRussell King2010-11-26

* ARM: pgtable: use pXd_none_or_clear_bad() in pgd_free()Russell King2010-11-26
| | | | | | | Remove knowledge of the 2-level wrapping in pgd_free(), and use the pXd_none_or_clear_bad() macros when checking the entries. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: get rid of get_pgd_slow()/free_pgd_slow()Russell King2010-11-26
| | | | | | | These old names are just aliases for pgd_alloc/pgd_free. Just use the new names. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: pgtable: directly pass pgd/pmd/pte to their error functionsRussell King2010-11-26
| | | | | | | Rather than passing the pte value to __pte_error, pass the raw pte_t cookie instead. Do the same for pmd and pgd functions. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

* ARM: improve compiler's ability to optimize page tablesRussell King2010-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | Allow the compiler to better optimize the page table walking code by avoiding over-complex pmd_addr_end() calculations. These calculations prevent the compiler spotting that we'll never iterate over the PMD table, causing it to create double nested loops where a single loop will do.

* | hardirq.h: needs sched.h if using BKLLinus Torvalds2010-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This really isn't the right thing to do, and strictly speaking we should have the BKL depth count in the thread info right next to the preempt count. The two really do go together. However, since that would involve a patch to all architectures, and the BKL is finally going away, it's simply not worth the effort to do the RightThing(tm). Just re-instate the <linux/sched.h> include that we used to get accidentally from the smp_lock.h one. This is all fallout from the same old "BKL: remove extraneous #include <smp_lock.h>" commit.

| * | KVM: VMX: Fix host userspace gsbase corruptionAvi Kivity2010-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now use load_gs_index() to load gs safely; unfortunately this also changes MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, which we managed separately. This resulted in confusion and breakage running 32-bit host userspace on a 64-bit kernel. Fix by - saving guest MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE before we we reload the host's gs - doing the host save/load unconditionally, instead of only when in guest long mode Things can be cleaned up further, but this is the minmal fix for now.

This patch fix the problem for PPC32 which will elsewise end up with a __initramfs_size of 0.

That resulted in commit 451a3c24b013 ("BKL: remove extraneous #include <smp_lock.h>"). However, hardirq.h was the only remaining user of the old 'kernel_locked()' interface, and Arnd's script hadn't checked for that. So depending on your configuration and what header files had been included, you would get errors like "implicit declaration of function 'kernel_locked'" during the build. The right fix is not to just re-instate the smp_lock.h include - it is to just remove 'kernel_locked()' entirely, since the only use was this one special low-level detail. Just make hardirq.h do it directly. In fact this simplifies and clarifies the code, because some trivial analysis makes it clear that hardirq.h only ever used _one_ of the two definitions of kernel_locked(), so we can remove the other one entirely.

* | | kernel: make /proc/kallsyms mode 400 to reduce ease of attackingMarcus Meissner2010-11-16

This is the second submit, discussion happened on this on first submit and mostly concerned that this is just one hole of the sieve ... but one of the bigger ones. Changing the permissions of at least System.map and vmlinux is also required to fix the same set, but a packaging issue. Target of this starter patch and follow ups is removing any kind of kernel space address information leak from the kernel. [ Side note: the default of root-only reading is the "safe" value, and it's easy enough to then override at any time after boot. The /proc filesystem allows root to change the permissions with a regular chmod, so you can "revert" this at run-time by simply doing chmod og+r /proc/kallsyms as root if you really want regular users to see the kernel symbols. It does help some tools like "perf" figure them out without any setup, so it may well make sense in some situations. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Marcus Meissner <meissner@suse.de> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Eugene Teo <eugeneteo@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
