commit ab874f22d35a8058d8fdee5f13eb69d8867efeae upstream.
On older HW or under a hypervisor, w/o the instruction-execution- protection (IEP) facility, and also w/o EDAT-1, a translation-specification exception may be recognized when bit 55 of a pte is one (_PAGE_NOEXEC).
The current code tries to prevent setting _PAGE_NOEXEC in such cases, by removing it within set_pte_at(). However, ptep_set_access_flags() will modify a pte directly, w/o using set_pte_at(). There is at least one scenario where this can result in an active pte with _PAGE_NOEXEC set, which would then lead to a panic due to a translation-specification exception (write to swapped out page):
do_swap_page pte = mk_pte (with _PAGE_NOEXEC bit) set_pte_at (will remove _PAGE_NOEXEC bit in page table, but keep it in local variable pte) vmf->orig_pte = pte (pte still contains _PAGE_NOEXEC bit) do_wp_page wp_page_reuse entry = vmf->orig_pte (still with _PAGE_NOEXEC bit) ptep_set_access_flags (writes entry with _PAGE_NOEXEC bit)
Fix this by clearing _PAGE_NOEXEC already in mk_pte_phys(), where the pgprot value is applied, so that no pte with _PAGE_NOEXEC will ever be visible, if it is not supported. The check in set_pte_at() can then also be removed.
