Subject: [PATCH 4/5] x86/its: explicitly manage permissions for ITS pages
Date: Tue,  3 Jun 2025 14:14:44 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250603111446.2609381-5-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250603111446.2609381-1-rppt@kernel.org>

From: "Peter Zijlstra (Intel)" <peterz@infradead.org>

execmem_alloc() sets permissions differently depending on the kernel
configuration, CPU support for PSE and whether a page is allocated
before or after mark_rodata_ro().

Add tracking for pages allocated for ITS when patching the core kernel
and make sure the permissions for ITS pages are explicitly managed for
both kernel and module allocations.

Fixes: 872df34d7c51 ("x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches")
