Special pte mappings are not intended to be executable and do not even have an associated struct page. This patch ensures that we do not call __sync_icache_dcache() on such ptes.

We have the following means for encoding writable or dirty ptes: PTE_DIRTY PTE_RDONLY !pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1 !pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1 pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1 pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0 So we can't distinguish between writable clean ptes and read only ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as read only when they are writable but not dirty. This patch introduces a new software bit PTE_WRITE which allows us to correctly identify writable ptes. PTE_RDONLY is now only clear for valid ptes where a page is both writable and dirty.

PTE_PROT_NONE means that a pte is present but does not have any read/write attributes. However, setting the memory type like pgprot_writecombine() is allowed and such bits overlap with PTE_PROT_NONE. This causes mmap/munmap issues in drivers that change the vma->vm_pg_prot on PROT_NONE mappings. This patch reverts the PTE_FILE/PTE_PROT_NONE shift in commit 59911ca4 (ARM64: mm: Move PTE_PROT_NONE bit) and moves PTE_PROT_NONE together with the other software bits.

This patch expands the VA_BITS to 42 when the 64K page configuration is enabled allowing 2TB kernel linear mapping. Linux still uses 2 levels of page tables in this configuration with pgd now being a full page.

Bring Transparent HugePage support to ARM. The size of a transparent huge page depends on the normal page size. A transparent huge page is always represented as a pmd. If PAGE_SIZE is 4KB, THPs are 2MB. If PAGE_SIZE is 64KB, THPs are 512MB. Signed-off-by: NSteve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> Acked-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

Add huge page support to ARM64, different huge page sizes are supported depending on the size of normal pages: PAGE_SIZE is 4KB: 2MB - (pmds) these can be allocated at any time. 1024MB - (puds) usually allocated on bootup with the command line with something like: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=6 PAGE_SIZE is 64KB: 512MB - (pmds) usually allocated on bootup via command line.

Under ARM64, PTEs can be broadly categorised as follows: - Present and valid: Bit #0 is set. The PTE is valid and memory access to the region may fault. - Present and invalid: Bit #0 is clear and bit #1 is set. Represents present memory with PROT_NONE protection. The PTE is an invalid entry, and the user fault handler will raise a SIGSEGV. - Not present (file or swap): Bits #0 and #1 are clear. Memory represented has been paged out. The PTE is an invalid entry, and the fault handler will try and re-populate the memory where necessary. Huge PTEs are block descriptors that have bit #1 clear. If we wish to represent PROT_NONE huge PTEs we then run into a problem as there is no way to distinguish between regular and huge PTEs if we set bit #1. To resolve this ambiguity this patch moves PTE_PROT_NONE from bit #1 to bit #2 and moves PTE_FILE from bit #2 to bit #3. The number of swap/file bits is reduced by 1 as a consequence, leaving 60 bits for file and swap entries.

If we consider the following code sequence: my_pte = pte_modify(entry, myprot); x = pte_write(my_pte); y = pte_exec(my_pte); If myprot comes from a PROT_NONE page, then x and y will both be true which is undesireable behaviour. This patch sets the no-execute and read-only bits for PAGE_NONE such that the code above will return false for both x and y.

This is mostly a port of dbf62d50 ("ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID for page table entries") and 26ffd0d4 ("ARM: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONE") from ARM, which makes use of present, faulting page table entries for page table entries mapped as PROT_NONE. The main difference with this implementation is that we can make use of the two pte type bits in order to avoid allocating a software bit for identifying PROT_NONE pages, instead reserving the 10b suffix for these types of mappings. This is required to prevent users from accessing such pages via syscalls such as read/write over a pipe.

On AArch64, the meaning of the XN bit has changed to UXN (user). The PXN (privileged) bit must be set to prevent kernel execution. Without the PXN bit set, the CPU may speculatively access device memory. This patch ensures that all the mappings that the kernel must not execute from (including user mappings) have the PXN bit set.

The virtual memory layout is described in Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is 2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration. PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no run-time code patching at this stage). On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are 512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping. Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an additional level of translation tables. The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.
