Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] powerpc/mm: Fix kernel RAM protection after freeing unused memory on PPC32
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2017 15:51:03 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3077e852befcf50371ef6c79d4902562447d92e1.1501679954.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1501679953.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>
As seen below, allthough the init sections have been freed, the
associated memory area is still marked as executable in the
page tables.
~ dmesg
[ 5.860093] Freeing unused kernel memory: 592K (c0570000 - c0604000)
~ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables
---[ Start of kernel VM ]---
0xc0000000-0xc0497fff 4704K rw X present dirty accessed shared
0xc0498000-0xc056ffff 864K rw present dirty accessed shared
0xc0570000-0xc059ffff 192K rw X present dirty accessed shared
0xc05a0000-0xc7ffffff 125312K rw present dirty accessed shared
---[ vmalloc() Area ]---
This patch fixes that.
The implementation is done by reusing the change_page_attr()
function implemented for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
