They allocate a new page table structure and ensure that all the mappings we require during EFI runtime calls are only setup there. It turns out that it still makes sense to share some page table entries with 'swapper_pg_dir', just not the entries where we need to allow security lax permissions. Sharing entries is useful for memory hotplug, for example. When writing this series I discovered a number of bugs in the existing code that only became apparent when we stopped using 'trampoline_pgd' which already mapped a bunch of things for us. I've put those bug fixes at the start of the series. Further testing would be very much appreciated as this is a notoriously funky area of the EFI code. The following changes since commit 2c66e24d75d424919c42288b418d2e593fa818b1: x86/efi: Fix kernel panic when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled (2015-10-25 10:22:25 +0000) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi.git tags/efi-next for you to fetch changes up to 278a4c3c13f6b24f4e18aeabe4135fff7fc703d2: Documentation/x86: Update EFI memory region description (2015-11-12 15:03:08 +0000) ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Use completely separate page tables for EFI runtime service calls so that the security-lax mapping permissions (RWX) do not leak into the standard kernel page tables and trigger warnings when CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is enabled. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Fleming (6): x86/mm/pageattr: Ensure cpa->pfn only contains page frame numbers x86/mm/pageattr: Do not strip pte flags from cpa->pfn x86/efi: Map RAM into the identity page table for mixed mode x86/efi: Hoist page table switching code into efi_call_virt() x86/efi: Build our own page table structures Documentation/x86: Update EFI memory region description Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt | 12 +-- arch/x86/include/asm/efi.h | 26 ++++++ arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c | 17 ++-- arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c | 41 ++++----- arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_32.c | 5 ++ arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c | 174 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_stub_64.S | 43 --------- 7 files changed, 193 insertions(+), 125 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
