On systems where CTR_EL0.DIC is set, we don't need to perform icache invalidation to guarantee that we'll fetch the right instruction stream. This also means that taking a permission fault to invalidate the icache is an unnecessary overhead. On such systems, we can safely leave the page as being executable.

Up to ARMv8.3, the combinaison of Stage-1 and Stage-2 attributes results in the strongest attribute of the two stages. This means that the hypervisor has to perform quite a lot of cache maintenance just in case the guest has some non-cacheable mappings around. ARMv8.4 solves this problem by offering a different mode (FWB) where Stage-2 has total control over the memory attribute (this is limited to systems where both I/O and instruction fetches are coherent with the dcache). This is achieved by having a different set of memory attributes in the page tables, and a new bit set in HCR_EL2. On such a system, we can then safely sidestep any form of dcache management.

To allow systems which do not require kpti to continue running with global kernel mappings (which appears to be a requirement for Cavium ThunderX due to a CPU erratum), make the use of nG in the kernel page tables dependent on arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0(), which is resolved at runtime.

We've so far eagerly invalidated the icache, no matter how the page was faulted in (data or prefetch abort). But we can easily track execution by setting the XN bits in the S2 page tables, get the prefetch abort at HYP and perform the icache invalidation at that time only. As for most VMs, the instruction working set is pretty small compared to the data set, this is likely to save some traffic (specially as the invalidation is broadcast).

In preparation for unmapping the kernel whilst running in userspace, make the kernel mappings non-global so we can avoid expensive TLB invalidation on kernel exit to userspace.

Currently PTE_RDONLY is treated as a hardware only bit and not handled by the pte_mkwrite(), pte_wrprotect() or the user PAGE_* definitions. The set_pte_at() function is responsible for setting this bit based on the write permission or dirty state. This patch moves the PTE_RDONLY handling out of set_pte_at into the pte_mkwrite()/pte_wrprotect() functions. The PAGE_* definitions to need to be updated to explicitly include PTE_RDONLY when !PTE_WRITE. The patch also removes the redundant PAGE_COPY(_EXEC) definitions as they are identical to the corresponding PAGE_READONLY(_EXEC).

The ARMv8 architecture allows execute-only user permissions by clearing the PTE_UXN and PTE_USER bits. However, the kernel running on a CPU implementation without User Access Override (ARMv8.2 onwards) can still access such page, so execute-only page permission does not protect against read(2)/write(2) etc. accesses. Systems requiring such protection must enable features like SECCOMP. This patch changes the arm64 __P100 and __S100 protection_map[] macros to the new __PAGE_EXECONLY attributes. A side effect is that pte_user() no longer triggers for __PAGE_EXECONLY since PTE_USER isn't set. To work around this, the check is done on the PTE_NG bit via the pte_ng() macro. VM_READ is also checked now for page faults.

Structures that can be generally written to don't have any requirement to be executable (quite the opposite). This includes the kvm and vcpu structures, as well as the stacks. Let's change the default to incorporate the XN flag. Signed-off-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NChristoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>

There should be no reason for mapping the HYP text read/write. As such, let's have a new set of flags (PAGE_HYP_EXEC) that allows execution, but makes the page as read-only, and update the two call sites that deal with mapping code.

In order to be able to use C code in HYP, we're now mapping the kernel's rodata in HYP. It works absolutely fine, except that we're mapping it RWX, which is not what it should be. Add a new HYP_PAGE_RO protection, and pass it as the protection flags when mapping the rodata section.

The asm-generic fixmap.h depends on each architecture's fixmap.h to pull in the definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, if this exists. In the absence of this, FIXMAP_PAGE_RO will not be defined. In mm/early_ioremap.c the definition of early_memremap_ro is predicated on FIXMAP_PAGE_RO being defined. Currently, the arm64 fixmap.h doesn't include pgtable.h for the definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, and as a knock-on effect early_memremap_ro is not always defined, leading to link-time failures when it is used. This has been observed with defconfig on next-20160226. Unfortunately, as pgtable.h includes fixmap.h, adding the include introduces a circular dependency, which is just as fragile. Instead, this patch factors out PAGE_KERNEL_RO and other prot definitions into a new pgtable-prot header which can be included by poth pgtable.h and fixmap.h, avoiding the circular dependency, and ensuring that early_memremap_ro is alwyas defined where it is used.
