From: Mark Rutland mark.rutland@arm.com Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2018 12:09:23 +0100 Subject: arm64: idmap: Use "awx" flags for .idmap.text .pushsection directives To: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: mark.brown@linaro.org, ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org, marc.zyngier@arm.com, will.deacon@arm.com Message-ID: 20180403110923.43575-28-mark.rutland@arm.com
From: Will Deacon will.deacon@arm.com
commit 439e70e27a51 upstream.
The identity map is mapped as both writeable and executable by the SWAPPER_MM_MMUFLAGS and this is relied upon by the kpti code to manage a synchronisation flag. Update the .pushsection flags to reflect the actual mapping attributes.
