arm64/efi: Ignore EFI_MEMORY_XP attribute if RP and/or WP are set
The UEFI memory map is a bit vague about how to interpret the EFI_MEMORY_XP attribute when it is combined with EFI_MEMORY_RP and/or EFI_MEMORY_WP, which have retroactively been redefined as cacheability attributes rather than permission attributes. So let's ignore EFI_MEMORY_XP if _RP and/or _WP are also set. In this case, it is likely that they are being used to describe the capability of the region (i.e., whether it has the controls to reconfigure it as non-executable) rather than the nature of the contents of the region (i.e., whether it contains data that we will never attempt to execute) Reported-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Tested-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Cc: Arvind Yadav <arvind.yadav.cs@gmail.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tyler Baicar <tbaicar@codeaurora.org> Cc: Vasyl Gomonovych <gomonovych@gmail.com> Cc: linux-efi@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180102181042.19074-3-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.orgSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
