powerpc/32: Remove PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT to fix startup failure

2025-10-29T13:08:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9316512b717f6f25c4649b3fdb0a905b6a318e9f ] PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is an old macro that is used to tell kernel whether kernel text has to be mapped read-only or read-write based on build time options. But nowadays, with functionnalities like jump_labels, static links, etc ... more only less all kernels need to be read-write at some point, and some combinations of configs failed to work due to innacurate setting of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. On the other hand, today we have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX which implements a more controlled access to kernel modifications. Instead of trying to keep PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT accurate with all possible options that may imply kernel text modification, always set kernel text read-write at startup and rely on CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to provide accurate protection. Do this by passing PAGE_KERNEL_X to map_kernel_page() in __maping_ram_chunk() instead of passing PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT. Once this is done, the only remaining user of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT is mmu_mark_initmem_nx() which uses it in a call to setibat(). As setibat() ignores the RW/RO, we can seamlessly replace PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT by PAGE_KERNEL_X here as well and get rid of PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT completely.

mm: always define pxx_pgprot()

2024-09-17T08:06:59+00:00

There're: - 8 archs (arc, arm64, include, mips, powerpc, s390, sh, x86) that support pte_pgprot(). - 2 archs (x86, sparc) that support pmd_pgprot(). - 1 arch (x86) that support pud_pgprot(). Always define them to be used in generic code, and then we don't need to fiddle with "#ifdef"s when doing so.

powerpc/8xx: rework support for 8M pages using contiguous PTE entries

2024-07-12T22:52:17+00:00

In order to fit better with standard Linux page tables layout, add support for 8M pages using contiguous PTE entries in a standard page table. Page tables will then be populated with 1024 similar entries and two PMD entries will point to that page table. The PMD entries also get a flag to tell it is addressing an 8M page, this is required for the HW tablewalk assistance.

mm/powerpc: replace pXd_is_leaf() with pXd_leaf()

2024-03-06T21:04:19+00:00

They're the same macros underneath. Drop pXd_is_leaf(), instead always use pXd_leaf(). At the meantime, instead of renames, drop the pXd_is_leaf() fallback definitions directly in arch/powerpc/include/asm/pgtable.h. because similar fallback macros for pXd_leaf() are already defined in include/linux/pgtable.h.

mm/powerpc: define pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()

2024-03-06T21:04:19+00:00

Patch series "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()", v3. These two APIs are mostly always the same. It's confusing to have both of them. Merge them into one. Here I used pXd_leaf() only because pXd_leaf() is a global API which is always defined, while pXd_large() is not. We have yet one more API that is similar which is pXd_huge(), but that's even trickier, so let's do it step by step. Some special cares are taken for ppc and x86, they're done as separate cleanups first. This patch (of 10): The two definitions are the same. The only difference is that pXd_large() is only defined with THP selected, and only on book3s 64bits. Instead of implementing it twice, make pXd_large() a macro to pXd_leaf(). Define it unconditionally just like pXd_leaf(). This helps to prepare merging the two APIs.

powerpc: Remove file parameter from phys_mem_access_prot()

Remove 'file' parameter from struct machdep_calls.phys_mem_access_prot and its implementation in pci_phys_mem_access_prot(). The file is not used on PowerPC. By removing it, a later patch can simplify fbdev's mmap code, which uses phys_mem_access_prot() on PowerPC.

ioremap_page_range() calls pgprot_nx() vmap() and vmap_pfn() clear execute permission by calling pgprot_nx(). When pgprot_nx() is not defined it falls back to a nop.
