[PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pages
2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb
mprotect.
From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed
range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of
is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/).
In fact, we don't need this test. If the given addresses match the
beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned. If
they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA. The very
first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a
hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary.
From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>
On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE. The
identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect.
A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc().
The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up
legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.
