[PATCH v2 0/5] Encapsulate PTE contents from non-arch code

From: Ryan Roberts
Date: Thu May 18 2023 - 07:07:42 EST


Hi All,

This is v2 of a series to improve the encapsulation of pte entries by
disallowing non-arch code from directly dereferencing pte_t pointers. Instead
code must use a new helper, `pte_t ptep_deref(pte_t *ptep)`.

See the v1 cover letter at [1] for rationale and explanation of approach.

As with v1, the series is split up as follows:

patchs 1-2: Fix bugs where code was _setting_ ptes directly, rather than using
set_pte_at() and friends.
patch 3: Fix highmem unmapping issue I spotted while doing the work.
patch 4: Introduce the new ptep_deref() helper with default implementation.
patch 5: Convert all direct dereferences to use ptep_deref().

Patches are based on v6.4-rc2 and a branch is available at [2].

Changes since v1:
- patch 5: Fixed sh build bug reported by 0-day CI
- patch 1: Refactored pfn to use local variable
- patch 1-2: Minor rewording of commit message: 'verify' -> 'check'
- patch 1-3: applied Ack/Reviewed-by tags; thanks for those!
