[PATCH 0/7] arm64: Privileged Access Never using TTBR0_EL1 switching

This is the first (public) attempt at emulating PAN by disabling
TTBR0_EL1 accesses on arm64. I chose to use a per-CPU saved_ttbr0_el1
variable to store the actual TTBR0 as, IMO, it looks better w.r.t. the
context switching code, to the detriment of a slightly more complex
uaccess_enable() implementation. The alternative was storing the saved
TTBR0 in thread_info but with more complex thread switching since TTBR0
is normally tied to switch_mm() rather than switch_to(). The latter may
also get more complicated if we are to decouple the kernel stack from
thread_info at some point (vmalloc'ed stacks).
The code requires more testing, especially for combinations where UAO is
present but PAN is not.
The patches are also available on this branch:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux ttbr0-pan
Thanks for reviewing/testing.
Catalin Marinas (7):
arm64: Factor out PAN enabling/disabling into separate uaccess_*
macros
arm64: Factor out TTBR0_EL1 setting into a specific asm macro
arm64: Introduce uaccess_{disable,enable} functionality based on
TTBR0_EL1
arm64: Disable TTBR0_EL1 during normal kernel execution
arm64: Handle faults caused by inadvertent user access with PAN
enabled
arm64: xen: Enable user access before a privcmd hvc call
arm64: Enable CONFIG_ARM64_TTBR0_PAN
