[PATCH v2 6/6] dmaengine: pl330: Make sure microcode is privileged-executable

From: Mitchel Humpherys
Date: Fri Jul 08 2016 - 22:09:09 EST


The PL330 can perform privileged instruction fetches. This can result
in SMMU permission faults on SMMUs that implement the ARMv8 VMSA, which
specifies that mappings that are writeable at one execution level shall
not be executable at any higher-privileged level. Fix this by using the
DMA_ATTR_PRIVILEGED_EXECUTABLE attribute, which will ensure that the
microcode IOMMU mapping is not writeable.
