[PATCH v2 4/7] arm64: Disable TTBR0_EL1 during normal kernel execution

Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas at arm.com
Fri Sep 2 08:02:10 PDT 2016


When the TTBR0 PAN feature is enabled, the kernel entry points need to
disable access to TTBR0_EL1. The PAN status of the interrupted context
is stored as part of the saved pstate, reusing the PSR_PAN_BIT (22).
Restoring access to TTBR0_PAN is done on exception return if returning
to user or returning to a context where PAN was disabled.

Context switching via switch_mm() must defer the update of TTBR0_EL1
until a return to user or an explicit uaccess_enable() call.

Special care needs to be taken for two cases where TTBR0_EL1 is set
outside the normal kernel context switch operation: EFI run-time
services (via efi_set_pgd) and CPU suspend (via cpu_(un)install_idmap).
Code has been added to avoid deferred TTBR0_EL1 switching as in
switch_mm() and restore the reserved TTBR0_EL1 when uninstalling the
special TTBR0_EL1.
