PS3 had used a PPP bit hack to implement a read only mapping in the kernel area. Since we are bolting the ioremap area, it used the pte flags _PAGE_PRESENT | _PAGE_USER to get a PPP value of 0x3 there by resulting in a read only mapping. This means the area can be accessed by user space, but kernel will never return such an address to user space. But we can do better by implementing a read only kernel mapping using PPP bits 0b110. This also allows us to do read only kernel mapping for radix in later patches. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> |
