commit c119565a15a628efdfa51352f9f6c5186e506a1c upstream.
On book3s/32, page protection is defined by the PP bits in the PTE
which provide the following protection depending on the access
keys defined in the matching segment register:
- PP 00 means RW with key 0 and N/A with key 1.
- PP 01 means RW with key 0 and RO with key 1.
- PP 10 means RW with both key 0 and key 1.
- PP 11 means RO with both key 0 and key 1.
Since the implementation of kernel userspace access protection,
PP bits have been set as follows:
- PP00 for pages without _PAGE_USER
- PP01 for pages with _PAGE_USER and _PAGE_RW
- PP11 for pages with _PAGE_USER and without _PAGE_RW
For kernelspace segments, kernel accesses are performed with key 0
and user accesses are performed with key 1. As PP00 is used for
non _PAGE_USER pages, user can't access kernel pages not flagged
_PAGE_USER while kernel can.
For userspace segments, both kernel and user accesses are performed
with key 0, therefore pages not flagged _PAGE_USER are still
accessible to the user.
This shouldn't be an issue, because userspace is expected to be
accessible to the user. But unlike most other architectures, powerpc
implements PROT_NONE protection by removing _PAGE_USER flag instead of
flagging the page as not valid. This means that pages in userspace
that are not flagged _PAGE_USER shall remain inaccessible.
To get the expected behaviour, just mimic other architectures in the
TLB miss handler by checking _PAGE_USER permission on userspace
accesses as if it was the _PAGE_PRESENT bit.
Note that this problem only is only for 603 cores. The 604+ have
an hash table, and hash_page() function already implement the
verification of _PAGE_USER permission on userspace pages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
