powerpc/32: Remove PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT to fix startup failure

2025-10-29T13:04:36Z

[ Upstream commit 9316512b717f6f25c4649b3fdb0a905b6a318e9f ] PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is an old macro that is used to tell kernel whether kernel text has to be mapped read-only or read-write based on build time options. But nowadays, with functionnalities like jump_labels, static links, etc ... more only less all kernels need to be read-write at some point, and some combinations of configs failed to work due to innacurate setting of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. On the other hand, today we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX which implements a more controlled access to kernel modifications. Instead of trying to keep PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT accurate with all possible options that may imply kernel text modification, always set kernel text read-write at startup and rely on CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to provide accurate protection. Do this by passing PAGE_KERNEL_X to map_kernel_page() in __maping_ram_chunk() instead of passing PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. Once this is done, the only remaining user of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is mmu_mark_initmem_nx() which uses it in a call to setibat(). As setibat() ignores the RW/RO, we can seamlessly replace PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT by PAGE_KERNEL_X here as well and get rid of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT completely.

mm: remove kern_addr_valid() completely

2024-11-08T15:26:39Z

[ Upstream commit e025ab842ec35225b1a8e163d1f311beb9e38ce9 ] Most architectures (except arm64/x86/sparc) simply return 1 for kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it calls copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the address is a valid kernel address. So as there is no need for kern_addr_valid(), let's remove it.

mm/thp: define default pmd_pgtable()

2021-07-01T18:06:03Z

Currently most platforms define pmd_pgtable() as pmd_page() duplicating the same code all over. Instead just define a default value i.e pmd_page() for pmd_pgtable() and let platforms override when required via . All the existing platform that override pmd_pgtable() have been moved into their respective header in order to precede before the new generic definition. This makes it much cleaner with reduced code.

powerpc/lib/code-patching: Set up Strict RWX patching earlier

2021-06-21T11:13:20Z

setup_text_poke_area() is a late init call so it runs before mark_rodata_ro() and after the init calls. This lets all the init code patching simply write to their locations. In the future, kprobes is going to allocate its instruction pages RO which means they will need setup_text__poke_area() to have been already called for their code patching. However, init_kprobes() (which allocates and patches some instruction pages) is an early init call so it happens before setup_text__poke_area(). start_kernel() calls poking_init() before any of the init calls. On powerpc, poking_init() is currently a nop. setup_text_poke_area() relies on kernel virtual memory, cpu hotplug and per_cpu_areas being setup. setup_per_cpu_areas(), boot_cpu_hotplug_init() and mm_init() are called before poking_init(). Turn setup_text_poke_area() into poking_init().
