Modern ARMv7-A/R cores optionally implement below new
hardware feature:
- PXN:
Privileged execute-never(PXN) is a security feature. PXN bit
determines whether the processor can execute software from
the region. This is effective solution against ret2usr attack.
On an implementation that does not include the LPAE, PXN is
optionally supported.
This patch set PXN bit on user page table for preventing
user code execution with privilege mode.

For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty
ptes:
L_PTE_DIRTY L_PTE_RDONLY
!pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1
!pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1
pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1
pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0
So we can't distinguish between writeable clean ptes and read only
ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as
read only when they are writeable but not dirty.
This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58,
and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only
or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes
and read only ptes.
HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically.
We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they
correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has
moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising
THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to
make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.

Please pull these miscellaneous LPAE fixes I've been collecting for a while
now for 3.11. They've been tested and reviewed by quite a few people, and most
of the patches are pretty trivial. -- Will Deacon.
The patch adds support for THP (transparent huge pages) to LPAE
systems. When this feature is enabled, the kernel tries to map
anonymous pages as 2MB sections where possible.

This patch adds support for hugetlbfs based on the x86 implementation.
It allows mapping of 2MB sections (see Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt
for usage). The 64K pages configuration is not supported (section size
is 512MB in this case).

This patch moves the TTBR1 offset calculation and the T1SZ calculation out
of the TTB setup assembly code. This should not affect functionality in
any way, but improves code readability as well as readability of subsequent

Sets up KVM code to handle all exceptions taken to Hyp mode.
When the kernel is booted in Hyp mode, calling an hvc instruction with r0
pointing to the new vectors, the HVBAR is changed to the the vector pointers.
This allows subsystems (like KVM here) to execute code in Hyp-mode with the
MMU disabled.
We initialize other Hyp-mode registers and enables the MMU for Hyp-mode from
the id-mapped hyp initialization code. Afterwards, the HVBAR is changed to
point to KVM Hyp vectors used to catch guest faults and to switch to Hyp mode
to perform a world-switch into a KVM guest.
Also provides memory mapping code to map required code pages, data structures,
and I/O regions accessed in Hyp mode at the same virtual address as the host
kernel virtual addresses, but which conforms to the architectural requirements
for translations in Hyp mode. This interface is added in arch/arm/kvm/arm_mmu.c
and comprises:
- create_hyp_mappings(from, to);
- create_hyp_io_mappings(from, to, phys_addr);
- free_hyp_pmds();

Offer a method to drop this identity mapping through
hyp_idmap_teardown.

This patch introduces the pgtable-3level*.h files with definitions
specific to the LPAE page table format (3 levels of page tables).
Each table is 4KB and has 512 64-bit entries. An entry can point to a
40-bit physical address. The young, write and exec software bits share
the corresponding hardware bits (negated). Other software bits use spare
bits in the PTE.
The patch also changes some variable types from unsigned long or int to
pteval_t or pgprot_t.
