mm: add arch-independent testcases for RODATA

2017-02-28T02:43:48+00:00

This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific because using inline assembly directly. And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build. To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it to shared location.

x86: Don't use module.h just for AUTHOR / LICENSE tags

2016-07-14T11:04:20+00:00

The Kconfig controlling compilation of these files are: arch/x86/Kconfig.debug:config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST arch/x86/Kconfig.debug: bool "Testcase for the marking rodata read-only" arch/x86/Kconfig.debug:config X86_PTDUMP_CORE arch/x86/Kconfig.debug: def_bool n ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

x86/mm: Always enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and remove the Kconfig option

2016-02-22T07:51:38+00:00

This removes the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option and makes it always enabled. This simplifies the code and also makes it clearer that read-only mapped memory is just as fundamental a security feature in kernel-space as it is in user-space.

x86, extable: Remove open-coded exception table entries in arch/x86/kernel/test_rodata.c

2012-04-20T20:51:38+00:00

Remove open-coded exception table entries in arch/x86/kernel/test_rodata.c, and replace them with _ASM_EXTABLE() macros; this will allow us to change the format and type of the exception table entries.

x86: include proper prototypes for rodata_test

2008-02-14T22:30:20+00:00

extern should not appear in C files. Also, the definitions do not match the prototype currently, not sure what way you want to go with this, I've switched the prototype to return int, but I can see going to the void return as well. Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86: add testcases for RODATA and NX protections/attributes

2008-01-30T12:34:08+00:00

Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd. I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly exception table sorting stuff. From: Arjan van de Ven This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/ once that patch gets merged into mainline. (I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll wait with that until init.c is unified) As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.
