[PATCH v3 0/5] powerpc/mm: Fix kernel protection and implement STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32

[Christophe Leroy]

This patch set implements STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on Powerpc32
after fixing a few issues related to kernel code page protection.

At the end we take the opportunity to get rid of some unneccessary/outdated
fixmap stuff.

Changes from v2 to v3:
* Rebased on latest linux-powerpc/merge branch
* Function remap_init_ram() renamed mark_initmem_nx() to match new
  PPC64 implementation

Changes from v1 to v2:
* Rebased on latest linux-next following including of STRICT_KERNEL_RWX for PPC64
* Removed from the serie the two patches already applied.

[PATCH v3 1/5] powerpc/mm: Ensure change_page_attr() doesn't invalidate pinned TLBs

[Christophe Leroy]

__change_page_attr() uses flush_tlb_page().
flush_tlb_page() uses tlbie instruction, which also invalidates
pinned TLBs, which is not what we expect.

This patch modifies the implementation to use flush_tlb_kernel_range()
instead. This will make use of tlbia which will preserve pinned TLBs.

[PATCH v3 2/5] powerpc/mm: Fix kernel RAM protection after freeing unused memory on PPC32

[Christophe Leroy]

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

---[ vmalloc() Area ]---

This patch fixes that.

The implementation is done by reusing the change_page_attr()
function implemented for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

[PATCH v3 3/5] powerpc/mm: Implement STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32

[Christophe Leroy]

This patch implements STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32.

As for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, it deactivates BAT and LTLB mappings
in order to allow page protection setup at the level of each page.

As BAT/LTLB mappings are deactivated, there might be a performance
impact.

[PATCH v3 5/5] powerpc/mm: Simplify __set_fixmap()

[Christophe Leroy]

__set_fixmap() uses __fix_to_virt() then does the boundary checks
by it self. Instead, we can use fix_to_virt() which does the
verification at build time. For this, we need to use it inline
so that GCC can see the real value of idx at buildtime.

In the meantime, we remove the 'fixmaps' variable.
This variable is set but has never been used from the beginning
(commit 2c419bdeca1d9 ("[POWERPC] Port fixmap from x86 and use
for kmap_atomic"))

I looked at it, looks good overall, I've reviewed the previous series. Have you
checked the series against CONFIG_RELOCATABLE?
