More specifically, the problem manifests itself when set_memory_*() is called for several pages at the beginning of the large page and try_preserve_large_page() erroneously concludes that the change can be applied to whole large page. The fix consists of 3 parts: 1. Addition of "required" protection attributes in static_protections(), so .data and .bss can be guaranteed to stay "RW" 2. static_protections() is now called for every small page within large page to determine compatibility of new protection attributes (instead of just small pages within the requested range). 3. Large page can be preserved only if attribute change is large-page-aligned and covers whole large page. -v1: Try_preserve_large_page() patch for Linux 2.6.34-rc2 -v2: Replaced pfn check with address check for kernel rw-data Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang Reviewed-by: Suresh Siddha Cc: Arjan van de Ven Cc: James Morris Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Stephen Rothwell Cc: Dave Jones Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Linus Torvalds LKML-Reference: <4CE2F7F3.8030809@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c b/arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c index 532e7933d606..6f2a6b6deb6b 100644 --- a/arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c +++ b/arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c @@ -255,6 +255,7 @@ static inline pgprot_t static_protections(pgprot_t prot, unsigned long address, unsigned long pfn) { pgprot_t forbidden = __pgprot(0); + pgprot_t required = __pgprot(0); /* * The BIOS area between 640k and 1Mb needs to be executable for @@ -278,6 +279,12 @@ static inline pgprot_t static_protections(pgprot_t prot, unsigned long address, if (within(pfn, __pa((unsigned long)__start_rodata) >> PAGE_SHIFT, __pa((unsigned long)__end_rodata) >> PAGE_SHIFT)) pgprot_val(forbidden) |= _PAGE_RW; + /* + * .data and .bss should always be writable. + */ + if (within(address, (unsigned long)_sdata, (unsigned long)_edata) || + within(address, (unsigned long)__bss_start, (unsigned long)__bss_stop)) + pgprot_val(required) |= _PAGE_RW; #if defined(CONFIG_X86_64) && defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA) /* @@ -317,6 +324,7 @@ static inline pgprot_t static_protections(pgprot_t prot, unsigned long address, #endif prot = __pgprot(pgprot_val(prot) & ~pgprot_val(forbidden)); + prot = __pgprot(pgprot_val(prot) | pgprot_val(required)); return prot; } @@ -393,7 +401,7 @@ try_preserve_large_page(pte_t *kpte, unsigned long address, { unsigned long nextpage_addr, numpages, pmask, psize, flags, addr, pfn; pte_t new_pte, old_pte, *tmp; - pgprot_t old_prot, new_prot; + pgprot_t old_prot, new_prot, req_prot; int i, do_split = 1; unsigned int level; @@ -438,10 +446,10 @@ try_preserve_large_page(pte_t *kpte, unsigned long address, * We are safe now.
