ARM: 8722/1: mm: make STRICT_KERNEL_RWX effective for LPAE

2017-11-21T15:10:07Z

Currently, for ARM kernels with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE and CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, the 2MiB pages mapping the kernel code and rodata are writable. They are marked read-only in a software bit (L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY) but the hardware read-only bit is not set (PMD_SECT_AP2). For user mappings, the logic that propagates the software bit to the hardware bit is in set_pmd_at(); but for the kernel, section_update() writes the PMDs directly, skipping this logic. The fix is to set PMD_SECT_AP2 for read-only sections in section_update(), at the same time as L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY.

ARM: 8721/1: mm: dump: check hardware RO bit for LPAE

2017-11-21T15:10:07Z

When CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set, the PMD dump relies on the software read-only bit to determine whether a page is writable. This concealed a bug which left the kernel text section writable (AP2=0) while marked read-only in the software bit. In a kernel with the AP2 bug, the dump looks like this: ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0xc0000000-0xc0200000 2M RW NX SHD 0xc0200000-0xc0600000 4M ro x SHD 0xc0600000-0xc0800000 2M ro NX SHD 0xc0800000-0xc4800000 64M RW NX SHD The fix is to check that the software and hardware bits are both set before displaying "ro". The dump then shows the true perms: ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0xc0000000-0xc0200000 2M RW NX SHD 0xc0200000-0xc0600000 4M RW x SHD 0xc0600000-0xc0800000 2M RW NX SHD 0xc0800000-0xc4800000 64M RW NX SHD Fixes: ded947798469 ("ARM: 8109/1: mm: Modify pte_write and pmd_write logic for LPAE") Signed-off-by: Philip Derrin Tested-by: Neil Dick Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Russell King

mm: introduce wrappers to access mm->nr_ptes

2017-11-16T02:21:04Z

Let's add wrappers for ->nr_ptes with the same interface as for nr_pmd and nr_pud. The patch also makes nr_ptes accounting dependent onto CONFIG_MMU. Page table accounting doesn't make sense if you don't have page tables. It's preparation for consolidation of page-table counters in mm_struct.

ARM: 8719/1: NOMMU: work around maybe-uninitialized warning

2017-11-06T11:59:19Z

The reworked MPU code produces a new warning in some configurations, presumably starting with the code move after the compiler now makes different inlining decisions: arch/arm/mm/pmsa-v7.c: In function 'adjust_lowmem_bounds_mpu': arch/arm/mm/pmsa-v7.c:310:5: error: 'specified_mem_size' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] This appears to be harmless, as we know that there is always at least one memblock, and the only way this could get triggered is if the for_each_memblock() loop was never entered. I could not come up with a better workaround than initializing the specified_mem_size to zero, but at least that is the value that the variable would have in the hypothetical case of no memblocks.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ARM: 8713/1: NOMMU: Support MPU in XIP configuration

2017-10-23T15:59:31Z

Currently, there is assumption in early MPU setup code that kernel image is located in RAM, which is obviously not true for XIP. To run code from ROM we need to make sure that it is covered by MPU. However, due to we allocate regions (semi-)dynamically we can run into issue of trimming region we are running from in case ROM spawns several MPU regions. To help deal with that we enforce minimum alignments for start end end of XIP address space as 1MB and 128Kb correspondingly.
