From 502f660466ba7a66711ffdf414b1f7f1131dcbf7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:46:56 -0800 Subject: x86, cpa: Fix kernel text RO checks in static_protection() Steven Rostedt reported that we are unconditionally making the kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to the kernel text area for setting/clearing any page table attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for the kernel text mapping that is set at compile time. We should delay (to forbid the write attribute) and enforce only after the kernel has mapped the text as read-only.

So, this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this. The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is equal 1 or do nothing otherwise. See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion on LKML for more information. Signed-off-by: Ilya Loginov Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: David Woodhouse Cc: Peter Horton Cc: "Ed L.
