      ARM: 8109/1: mm: Modify pte_write and pmd_write logic for LPAE · ded94779
      Steven Capper 提交于
      For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty
      ptes:
                                    L_PTE_DIRTY       L_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 writeable clean ptes and read only
      ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as
      read only when they are writeable but not dirty.
      
      This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58,
      and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only
      or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes
      and read only ptes.
      
      HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically.
      
      We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they
      correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has
      moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising
      THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to
      make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.
