2015-01-22arm64: add better page protections to arm64Laura Abbott
Add page protections for arm64 similar to those in arm. This is for security reasons to prevent certain classes of exploits. The current method: - Map all memory as either RWX or RW. We round to the nearest section to avoid creating page tables before everything is mapped - Once everything is mapped, if either end of the RWX section should not be X, we split the PMD and remap as necessary - When initmem is to be freed, we change the permissions back to RW (using stop machine if necessary to flush the TLB) - If CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, the read only sections are set read only.

2014-11-26arm64: add support to dump the kernel page tablesLaura Abbott
In a similar manner to arm, it's useful to be able to dump the page tables to verify permissions and memory types. Add a debugfs file to check the page tables.

2014-09-08arm64: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX supportLaura Abbott
In a similar fashion to other architecture, add the infrastructure and Kconfig to enable DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX support. When enabled, module ranges will be marked read-only/no-execute as appropriate.

2014-07-10arm64: Enable TEXT_OFFSET fuzzingMark Rutland
The arm64 Image header contains a text_offset field which bootloaders are supposed to read to determine the offset (from a 2MB aligned "start of memory" per booting.txt) at which to load the kernel. The offset is not well respected by bootloaders at present, and due to the lack of variation there is little incentive to support it. This is unfortunate for the sake of future kernels where we may wish to vary the text offset (even zeroing it). This patch adds options to arm64 to enable fuzz-testing of text_offset. CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET forces the text offset to a random 16-byte aligned value value in the range [0..2MB) upon a build of the kernel. It is recommended that distribution kernels enable randomization to test bootloaders such that any compliance issues can be fixed early.

2013-03-19arm64: Kconfig.debug: Remove unused CONFIG_DEBUG_ERRORSPaul Bolle
The Kconfig entry for DEBUG_ERRORS is a verbatim copy of the former arm entry for that symbol. It got removed in v2.6.39 because it wasn't actually used anywhere. There are still no users of DEBUG_ERRORS so remove this entry too.

2013-02-11arm64: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current processWill Deacon
This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch. This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream.

2013-01-22arm64: Add simple earlyprintk supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel command line. The format is: earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used. The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot. Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.
