parisc: Fix userspace graphics card breakage due to pgtable special bit
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 70be49f upstream.

Commit df24e17 ("parisc: Add vDSO support") introduced the vDSO
support, for which a _PAGE_SPECIAL page table flag was needed.  Since we
wanted to keep every page table entry in 32-bits, this patch re-used the
existing - but yet unused - _PAGE_DMB flag (which triggers a hardware break
if a page is accessed) to store the special bit.

But when graphics card memory is mmapped into userspace, the kernel uses
vm_iomap_memory() which sets the the special flag. So, with the DMB bit
set, every access to the graphics memory now triggered a hardware
exception and segfaulted the userspace program.

Fix this breakage by dropping the DMB bit when writing the page
protection bits to the CPU TLB.

In addition this patch adds a small optimization: if huge pages aren't
configured (which is at least the case for 32-bit kernels), then the
special bit is stored in the hpage (HUGE PAGE) bit instead. That way we
can skip to reset the DMB bit.
