From a6fadf7e67d3794aae40244f435d281a62736c93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:15:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONE This is mostly a port of dbf62d50067e ("ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID for page table entries") and 26ffd0d43b18 ("ARM: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONE") from ARM, which makes use of present, faulting page table entries for page table entries mapped as PROT_NONE. The main difference with this implementation is that we can make use of the two pte type bits in order to avoid allocating a software bit for identifying PROT_NONE pages, instead reserving the 10b suffix for these types of mappings. This is required to prevent users from accessing such pages via syscalls such as read/write over a pipe. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas --- Reading git-format-patch failed
