mm: pgtable: fix pte_swp_exclusive

2025-06-11T21:52:08+00:00

Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int. This will better reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code. This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper 32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

xtensa: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-06-06T08:03:35+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement).

mm: introduce a common definition of mk_pte()

2025-05-12T00:48:02+00:00

Most architectures simply call pfn_pte(). Centralise that as the normal definition and remove the definition of mk_pte() from the architectures which have either that exact definition or something similar.

mm: add update_mmu_tlb_range()

2024-07-04T02:29:57+00:00

Patch series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code", v4. This series of commits mainly adds the update_mmu_tlb_range() to batch update tlb in an address range and implement update_mmu_tlb() using update_mmu_tlb_range(). After commit 19eaf44954df ("mm: thp: support allocation of anonymous multi-size THP"), We may need to batch update tlb of a certain address range by calling update_mmu_tlb() in a loop. Using the update_mmu_tlb_range(), we can simplify the code and possibly reduce the execution of some unnecessary code in some architectures. This patch (of 3): Add update_mmu_tlb_range(), we can batch update tlb of an address range.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen: "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

mm: Rename arch pte_mkwrite()'s to pte_mkwrite_novma()

2023-07-11T21:10:56+00:00

The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function properly. One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable, but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that call pte_mkwrite(). The goal is to make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular writable or shadow stack mappings. But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA. So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite() added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers can be changed to take/pass a VMA. Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(), create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma(). No functional change.
