| |
From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>
Uml is particular in respect with other architectures (and possibly this is to fix) in the fact that our arch fault handler handles indifferently both TLB and page faults. In particular, we may get to call handle_mm_fault() when the PTE is already correct, but simply it's not flushed.
And rfp-fault-sigsegv-2 breaks this, because when getting a fault on a pte_present PTE and non-uniform VMA, it assumes the fault is due to a protection fault, and signals the caller a SIGSEGV must be sent.
XXX: this is now wrong, since that SIGSEGV is not sent any more. I'll subsequently verify whether this patch is still needed or not, but until now I haven't had the time.
*) remap_file_pages protection support: fix unflushed TLB errors detection
From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>
We got unflushed PTE's marked up-to-date; they were actually flushed, but still protected, in order to get dirtying / accessing faults. So, don't test the PTE for being up-to-date, but check directly the permission (since the PTE is not protected for that).
