1. For VM_EXEC based delayed dcache/icache flush, reduces the number of flushes. 2. Makes this security feature ON by default rather than OFF before. 3. Applications can use mprotect() to selectively override this. 4. ELF binaries have a GNU_STACK segment which can easily override the kernel default permissions. For nested-functions/trampolines, gcc already auto-enables executable stack in elf. Others needing this can use -Wl,-z,execstack option. Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed. So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made default. There is no significant overhead since all of special alias handling code is compiled out for non-aliasing build Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

This is the meat of the series which prevents any dcache alias creation by always keeping the U and K mapping of a page congruent. If a mapping already exists, and other tries to access the page, prev one is flushed to physical page (wback+inv) Essentially flush_dcache_page()/copy_user_highpage() create K-mapping of a page, but try to defer flushing, unless U-mapping exist. When page is actually mapped to userspace, update_mmu_cache() flushes the K-mapping (in certain cases this can be optimised out) Additonally flush_cache_mm(), flush_cache_range(), flush_cache_page() handle the puring of stale userspace mappings on exit/munmap... flush_anon_page() handles the existing U-mapping for anon page before kernel reads it via the GUP path. Note that while not complete, this is enough to boot a simple dynamically linked Busybox based rootfs Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

Implement ioremap_prot() to allow mapping IO memory with variable protection via TLB. Implementing this allows the /dev/mem driver to use its generic access() VMA callback, which in turn allows ptrace to examine data in memory mapped regions mapped via /dev/mem, such as Arc DCCM. The end result is that it is possible to examine values of variables placed into DCCM in user space programs via GDB.

1. ./genfilelist.pl arch/arc/include/asm/ 2. Create arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild as follows +# UAPI Header export list +include include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm 3. ./disintegrate-one.pl arch/arc/include/{,uapi/}asm/<above-list> 4. Edit arch/arc/include/asm/Kbuild to remove ref to asm-generic/Kbuild.asm - To work around empty uapi/asm/setup.h added a placholder comment. - Also a manual #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ for a late ptrace change Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
