Subject: [PATCH 18/20] x86/mm: fix NX bit clearing issue in kernel_map_pages_in_pgd
Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2020 12:39:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200103113953.9571-19-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200103113953.9571-1-ardb@kernel.org>
Commit 15f003d20782 ("x86/mm/pat: Don't implicitly allow _PAGE_RW in
kernel_map_pages_in_pgd()") modified kernel_map_pages_in_pgd() to
manage writable permissions of memory mappings in the EFI page
table in a different way, but in the process, it removed the
ability to clear NX attributes from read-only mappings, by
clobbering the clear mask if _PAGE_RW is not being requested.
Failure to remove the NX attribute from read-only mappings is
unlikely to be a security issue, but it does prevent us from
tightening the permissions in the EFI page tables going forward,
so let's fix it now.
Fixes: 15f003d20782 ("x86/mm/pat: Don't implicitly allow _PAGE_RW in kernel_map_pages_in_pgd()
