arm: rename flush_cache_user_range to flush_icache_user_range

2020-06-08T18:05:58+00:00

flush_icache_user_range will be the name for a generic primitive. Move the arm name so that arm already has an implementation.

ARM: 8864/1: Add workaround for I-Cache line size mismatch between CPU cores

2019-06-20T21:29:58+00:00

Some big.LITTLE systems have I-Cache line size mismatch between LITTLE and big cores. This patch adds a workaround for proper I-Cache support on such systems. Without it, some class of the userspace code (typically self-modifying) might suffer from random SIGILL failures. Similar workaround already exists for ARM64 architecture. I has been added by commit 116c81f427ff ("arm64: Work around systems with mismatched cache line sizes"). Signed-off-by: Marek Szyprowski Signed-off-by: Russell King

page cache: use xa_lock

Remove the address_space ->tree_lock and use the xa_lock newly added to the radix_tree_root. Rename the address_space ->page_tree to ->i_pages, since we don't really care that it's a tree.

randstruct: opt-out externally exposed function pointer structs

2017-06-30T19:00:52+00:00

Some function pointer structures are used externally to the kernel, like the paravirt structures. These should never be randomized, so mark them as such, in preparation for enabling randstruct's automatic selection of all-function-pointer structures. These markings are verbatim from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

treewide: move set_memory_* functions away from cacheflush.h

2017-05-09T00:15:13+00:00

Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3. The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to change memory attributes. Many of these attributes were linked to cache functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h. These days, the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs. To support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to do with caches.
