Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] arm64/mm: Remove PTE_PROT_NONE bit
Date: Fri,  3 May 2024 15:46:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240503144604.151095-3-ryan.roberts@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240503144604.151095-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com>

Currently the PTE_PRESENT_INVALID and PTE_PROT_NONE functionality
explicitly occupy 2 bits in the PTE when PTE_VALID/PMD_SECT_VALID is
clear. This has 2 significant consequences:

  - PTE_PROT_NONE consumes a precious SW PTE bit that could be used for
    other things.
  - The swap pte layout must reserve those same 2 bits and ensure they
    are both always zero for a swap pte. It would be nice to reclaim at
    least one of those bits.

But PTE_PRESENT_INVALID, which since the previous patch, applies
uniformly to page/block descriptors at any level when PTE_VALID is
clear, can already give us most of what PTE_PROT_NONE requires: If it is
set, then the pte is still considered present; pte_present() returns
true and all the fields in the pte follow the HW interpretation (e.g. SW
can safely call pte_pfn(), etc). But crucially, the HW treats the pte as
invalid and will fault if it hits.

So let's remove PTE_PROT_NONE entirely and instead represent PROT_NONE
as a present but invalid pte (PTE_VALID=0, PTE_PRESENT_INVALID=1) with
PTE_USER=0 and PTE_UXN=1. This is a unique combination that is not used
anywhere else.

The net result is a clearer, simpler, more generic encoding scheme that
applies uniformly to all levels. Additionally we free up a PTE SW bit
and a swap pte bit (bit 58 in both cases).
