Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Prevent bogus warnings with "noexec=off"
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 10:46:07 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.1904151037530.1729@nanos.tec.linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <92ac69b8-7e29-50e1-f460-4e7ac8c6b7ac@gmail.com>

Xose reported warnings when NX is disabled on the kernel command line.

__early_set_fixmap() triggers:

  attempted to set unsupported pgprot:    8000000000000163
  	       	   	       bits:      8000000000000000
			       supported: 7fffffffffffffff

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:537
  	   	       	    __early_set_fixmap+0xa2/0xff

because it uses __default_kernel_pte_mask to mask out unsupported bits.

Use __supported_pte_mask instead.

Disabling NX on the command line also triggers the NX warning in the page
table mapping check:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/dump_pagetables.c:262 note_page+0x2ae/0x650
  ....

Make the warning depend on NX set in __supported_pte_mask.
