2015-10-07arm64: copy_to-from-in_user optimization using copy templateFeng Kan1-34/+44
This patch optimize copy_to-from-in_user for arm 64bit architecture. The copy template is used as template file for all the copy*.S files. Minor change was made to it to accommodate the copy to/from/in user files.

2015-07-27arm64: kernel: Add support for Privileged Access NeverJames Morse1-0/+8
'Privileged Access Never' is a new arm8.1 feature which prevents privileged code from accessing any virtual address where read or write access is also permitted at EL0. This patch enables the PAN feature on all CPUs, and modifies {get,put}_user helpers temporarily to permit access. This will catch kernel bugs where user memory is accessed directly. 'Unprivileged loads and stores' using ldtrb et al are unaffected by PAN.

2015-07-27arm64: lib: use pair accessors for copy_*_user routinesWill Deacon1-6/+11
The AArch64 instruction set contains load/store pair memory accessors, so use these in our copy_*_user routines to transfer 16 bytes per iteration. Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2012-09-17arm64: User access library functionsCatalin Marinas1-0/+66
This patch add support for various user access functions. These functions use the standard LDR/STR instructions and not the LDRT/STRT variants in order to allow kernel addresses (after set_fs(KERNEL_DS)).
