mm: update architecture and driver code to use vm_flags_t

2025-07-10T05:42:14+00:00

In future we intend to change the vm_flags_t type, so it isn't correct for architecture and driver code to assume it is unsigned long. Correct this assumption across the board. Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

powerpc/vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation on VDSO32

2024-09-13T15:28:36+00:00

To be consistent with other VDSO functions, the function is called __kernel_getrandom() __arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() fonction is implemented basically with 32 bits operations. It performs 4 QUARTERROUND operations in parallele. There are enough registers to avoid using the stack: On input: r3: output bytes r4: 32-byte key input r5: 8-byte counter input/output r6: number of 64-byte blocks to write to output During operation: stack: pointer to counter (r5) and non-volatile registers (r14-131) r0: counter of blocks (initialised with r6) r4: Value '4' after key has been read, used for indexing r5-r12: key r14-r15: block counter r16-r31: chacha state At the end: r0, r6-r12: Zeroised r5, r14-r31: Restored Performance on powerpc 885 (using kernel selftest): ~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single vdso: 25000000 times in 62.938002291 seconds libc: 25000000 times in 535.581916866 seconds syscall: 25000000 times in 531.525042806 seconds Performance on powerpc 8321 (using kernel selftest): ~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single vdso: 25000000 times in 16.899318858 seconds libc: 25000000 times in 131.050596522 seconds syscall: 25000000 times in 129.794790389 seconds This first patch adds support for VDSO32. As selftests cannot easily be generated only for VDSO32, and because the following patch brings support for VDSO64 anyway, this patch opts out all code in __arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() so that vdso_test_chacha will not fail to compile and will not crash on PPC64/PPC64LE, allthough the selftest itself will fail.

powerpc: Include asm/firmware.h in all users of firmware_has_feature()

powerpc/mm: enable ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT

2022-04-29T06:16:13+00:00

This defines and exports a platform specific custom vm_get_page_prot() via subscribing ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT. While here, this also localizes arch_vm_get_page_prot() as __vm_get_page_prot() and moves it near vm_get_page_prot().

powerpc/64s: Disallow PROT_SAO in LPARs by default

2020-08-24T04:12:54+00:00

Since migration of guests using SAO to ISA 3.1 hosts may cause issues, disable PROT_SAO in LPARs by default and introduce a new Kconfig option PPC_PROT_SAO_LPAR to allow users to enable it if desired.

Revert "powerpc/64s: Remove PROT_SAO support"

This reverts commit 5c9fa16e8abd342ce04dc830c1ebb2a03abf6c05. Since PROT_SAO can still be useful for certain classes of software, reintroduce it. Concerns about guest migration for LPARs using SAO will be addressed next.

powerpc/64s: Remove PROT_SAO support

2020-07-21T14:01:25+00:00

ISA v3.1 does not support the SAO storage control attribute required to implement PROT_SAO. PROT_SAO was used by specialised system software (Lx86) that has been discontinued for about 7 years, and is not thought to be used elsewhere, so removal should not cause problems. We rather remove it than keep support for older processors, because live migrating guest partitions to newer processors may not be possible if SAO is in use (or worse allowed with silent races). - PROT_SAO stays in the uapi header so code using it would still build. - arch_validate_prot() is removed, the generic version rejects PROT_SAO so applications would get a failure at mmap() time.

mm: Add address parameter to arch_validate_prot()

2018-03-18T14:38:47+00:00

A protection flag may not be valid across entire address space and hence arch_validate_prot() might need the address a protection bit is being set on to ensure it is a valid protection flag. For example, sparc processors support memory corruption detection (as part of ADI feature) flag on memory addresses mapped on to physical RAM but not on PFN mapped pages or addresses mapped on to devices. This patch adds address to the parameters being passed to arch_validate_prot() so protection bits can be validated in the relevant context.
