Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix InstructionTLBError execute permission check
Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 13:38:38 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1274726319-4673-2-git-send-email-galak@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1274726319-4673-1-git-send-email-galak@kernel.crashing.org>
From: Li Yang <leoli@freescale.com>
In CONFIG_PTE_64BIT the PTE format has unique permission bits for user
and supervisor execute. However on !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we overload the
supervisor bit to imply user execute with _PAGE_USER set. This allows
us to use the same permission check mask for user or supervisor code on
!CONFIG_PTE_64BIT.
However, on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we map _PAGE_EXEC to _PAGE_BAP_UX so we
need a different permission mask based on the fault coming from a kernel
address or user space.
Without unique permission masks we see issues like the following with
modules:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch
Faulting instruction address: 0xf938d040
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
