Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] arm64: make ID map shareable with EL2
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:29:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1424964547-2118-3-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1424964547-2118-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
This changes the ID map creation in head.S so that it can be reused
by KVM to ID map the HYP init code in EL2.
Since the architecture defines the AP[1] bit as RES1 in page table entries
used at EL2, we must ensure that the HYP init code is mapped with the AP[1]
bit set. However, AP[1] means 'writable at EL0' when set at EL1, which
automatically implies PXN == 1 (rendering the entire ID map non-executable)
unless we also set AP[2], which means read-only at both EL0 and EL1.
To prevent having to make the entire ID map read-only, we split the ID map
in two regions, and only set AP[2:1] == 0b11 for the first part, that covers
the HYP .text section. Note that this also moves it to before _stext, which
removes it from the runtime executable at EL1 region. This is a nice bonus,
in fact, since this code should never be executable at EL1 anyway.
