We were aggressive with splitting regions and missed the case when _stext and __init_begin completely overlap addr and addr+mapping.
This patch fixes that case and allows us to keep the largest possible mapping through the overlap. The patch also simplies the check into a function Fixes: 7614ff3 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Implement STRICT_RWX/mark_rodata_ro() for Radix") Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh <bsinghar...@gmail.com> --- arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable-radix.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable-radix.c b/arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable-radix.c index c2a2b46..ea0da3b 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable-radix.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable-radix.c @@ -210,17 +210,36 @@ static inline void __meminit print_mapping(unsigned long start, pr_info("Mapped 0x%016lx-0x%016lx with %s pages\n", start, end, buf); } +static inline int __meminit +should_split_mapping_size(unsigned long addr, unsigned long mapping_size) +{ +#ifdef CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX + /* + * If addr, addr+mapping overlap the text region and + * _stext and __init_begin end up lying between + * addr, addr+mapping split the mapping size down + * further + */ + if ((addr < __pa_symbol(__init_begin)) && + (addr + mapping_size) > __pa_symbol(_stext)) { + + if (((addr + mapping_size) <= __pa_symbol(__init_begin)) && + (addr >= __pa_symbol(_stext))) + return 0; + + return 1; + } +#endif + return 0; +} + + static int __meminit create_physical_mapping(unsigned long start, unsigned long end) { unsigned long vaddr, addr, mapping_size = 0; pgprot_t prot; unsigned long max_mapping_size; -#ifdef CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX - int split_text_mapping = 1; -#else - int split_text_mapping = 0; -#endif start = _ALIGN_UP(start, PAGE_SIZE); for (addr = start; addr < end; addr += mapping_size) { @@ -242,16 +261,14 @@ static int __meminit create_physical_mapping(unsigned long start, else mapping_size = PAGE_SIZE; - if (split_text_mapping && (mapping_size == PUD_SIZE) && - (addr <= __pa_symbol(__init_begin)) && - (addr + mapping_size) >= __pa_symbol(_stext)) { + if ((mapping_size == PUD_SIZE) && + should_split_mapping_size(addr, mapping_size)) { max_mapping_size = PMD_SIZE; goto retry; } - if (split_text_mapping && (mapping_size == PMD_SIZE) && - (addr <= __pa_symbol(__init_begin)) && - (addr + mapping_size) >= __pa_symbol(_stext)) + if ((mapping_size == PMD_SIZE) && + should_split_mapping_size(addr, mapping_size)) mapping_size = PAGE_SIZE; if (mapping_size != previous_size) { -- 2.9.5
