      arm64: mm: Don't wait for completion of TLB invalidation when page aging · 3403e56b
      Alex Van Brunt authored
      When transitioning a PTE from young to old as part of page aging, we
      can avoid waiting for the TLB invalidation to complete and therefore
      drop the subsequent DSB instruction. Whilst this opens up a race with
      page reclaim, where a PTE in active use via a stale, young TLB entry
      does not update the underlying descriptor, the worst thing that happens
      is that the page is reclaimed and then immediately faulted back in.
      
      Given that we have a DSB in our context-switch path, the window for a
      spurious reclaim is fairly limited and eliding the barrier claims to
      boost NVMe/SSD accesses by over 10% on some platforms.
      
      A similar optimisation was made for x86 in commit b13b1d2d ("x86/mm:
      In the PTE swapout page reclaim case clear the accessed bit instead of
      flushing the TLB").

      arm64/module: use plt section indices for relocations · c8ebf64e
      Jessica Yu authored
      Instead of saving a pointer to the .plt and .init.plt sections to apply
      plt-based relocations, save and use their section indices instead.
      
      The mod->arch.{core,init}.plt pointers were problematic for livepatch
      because they pointed within temporary section headers (provided by the
      module loader via info->sechdrs) that would be freed after module load.
      Since livepatch modules may need to apply relocations post-module-load
      (for example, to patch a module that is loaded later), using section
      indices to offset into the section headers (instead of accessing them
      through a saved pointer) allows livepatch modules on arm64 to pass in
      their own copy of the section headers to apply_relocate_add() to apply
      delayed relocations.

      arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well · c55191e9
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      On arm64, we use block mappings and contiguous hints to map the linear
      region, to minimize the TLB footprint. However, this means that the
      entire region is mapped using read/write permissions, which we cannot
      modify at page granularity without having to take intrusive measures to
      prevent TLB conflicts.
      
      This means the linear aliases of pages belonging to read-only mappings
      (executable or otherwise) in the vmalloc region are also mapped read/write,
      and could potentially be abused to modify things like module code, bpf JIT
      code or other read-only data.
      
      So let's fix this, by extending the set_memory_ro/rw routines to take
      the linear alias into account. The consequence of enabling this is
      that we can no longer use block mappings or contiguous hints, so in
      cases where the TLB footprint of the linear region is a bottleneck,
      performance may be affected.
      
      Therefore, allow this feature to be runtime en/disabled, by setting
      rodata=full (or 'on' to disable just this enhancement, or 'off' to
      disable read-only mappings for code and r/o data entirely) on the
      kernel command line. Also, allow the default value to be set via a
      Kconfig option.

      arm64: mm: purge lazily unmapped vm regions before changing permissions · b34d2ef0
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      Call vm_unmap_aliases() every time we apply any changes to permission
      attributes of mappings in the vmalloc region. This avoids any potential
      issues resulting from lingering writable or executable aliases of
      mappings that should be read-only or non-executable, respectively.

      gfs2: Fix iomap buffer head reference counting bug · c26b5aa8
      Andreas Gruenbacher authored
      GFS2 passes the inode buffer head (dibh) from gfs2_iomap_begin to
      gfs2_iomap_end in iomap->private.  It sets that private pointer in
      gfs2_iomap_get.  Users of gfs2_iomap_get other than gfs2_iomap_begin
      would have to release iomap->private, but this isn't done correctly,
      leading to a leak of buffer head references.
      
      To fix this, move the code for setting iomap->private from
      gfs2_iomap_get to gfs2_iomap_begin.

           nothing, we eventually hit it in code where GCC does arithmetic on
