Subject: [PATCH] arm64: pgtable: Clear the GP bit for non-executable kernel pages
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2020 16:46:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200615154642.3579-1-will@kernel.org> (raw)
Commit cca98e9f8b5e ("mm: enforce that vmap can't map pages executable")
introduced 'pgprot_nx(prot)' for arm64 but colliding silently with the
BTI support during the merge window, which endeavours to clear the GP
bit for non-executable kernel mappings in set_memory_nx().
For consistency between the two APIs, clear the GP bit in pgprot_nx().
