[PATCH v2 00/12] powerpc: Optimise KUAP on book3s/32

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Thu Jun 03 2021 - 04:41:39 EST


This series is a rework of KUAP on book3s/32.

On book3s32, KUAP is heavier than on other platform because it can't
be opened globaly at once, it must be done for each 256Mb segment.

Instead of opening access to all necessary segments via a heavy logic,
only open access to the segment matching the start of the range.

99.999% of the time, the range doesn't cross segment limit so
it is not worth checking and handling that corner case at the
first place. If that happens, take a fault and do the additional
segments opening in the fault handler. See patch 9 for details.

This series also adds the capability to disable KUAP and KUEP at boot
time via the "nosmap" and "nosmep" kernel parameters as PPC64 does.

Last 2 patches are cleanup of generic KUAP code once book3s/32 has
been simplified.

Changes in v2:
- Incorporated the conversion to C of switch_mmu_context()
- Converted initial KUAP/KUEP setup to C
- Added capability to disable KUAP and KUEP at boottime
- Enable KUAP and KUEP by default
