From 175f4efcb12ac85e5471cc0468e10a2d6db8a40f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2019 16:51:00 +0100 Subject: ARM: 8898/1: mm: Don't treat faults reported from cache maintenance as writes [ Upstream commit 834020366da9ab3fb87d1eb9a3160eb22dbed63a ] Translation faults arising from cache maintenance instructions are rather unhelpfully reported with an FSR value where the WnR field is set to 1, indicating that the faulting access was a write. Since cache maintenance instructions on 32-bit ARM do not require any particular permissions, this can cause our private 'cacheflush' system call to fail spuriously if a translation fault is generated due to page aging when targetting a read-only VMA. In this situation, we will return -EFAULT to userspace, although this is unfortunately suppressed by the popular '__builtin___clear_cache()' intrinsic provided by GCC, which returns void. Although it's tempting to write this off as a userspace issue, we can actually do a little bit better on CPUs that support LPAE, even if the short-descriptor format is in use. On these CPUs, cache maintenance faults additionally set the CM field in the FSR, which we can use to suppress the write permission checks in the page fault handler and succeed in performing cache maintenance to read-only areas even in the presence of a translation fault.
