2016-02-18arm64: kernel: Add support for User Access OverrideJames Morse
'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in the normal way. This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr* instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory. This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the page tables, instead of testing addr<USER_DS, then using the kernel's read/write permissions.

2015-10-07arm64: copy_to-from-in_user optimization using copy templateFeng Kan
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 Morse
'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 Deacon
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 Marinas
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)).
