parisc: Fix userspace graphics card breakage due to pgtable special bit
Commit df24e1783e6e ("parisc: Add vDSO support") introduced the vDSO support, for which a _PAGE_SPECIAL page table flag was needed. Since we wanted to keep every page table entry in 32-bits, this patch re-used the existing - but yet unused - _PAGE_DMB flag (which triggers a hardware break if a page is accessed) to store the special bit. But when graphics card memory is mmapped into userspace, the kernel uses vm_iomap_memory() which sets the the special flag. So, with the DMB bit set, every access to the graphics memory now triggered a hardware exception and segfaulted the userspace program. Fix this breakage by dropping the DMB bit when writing the page protection bits to the CPU TLB. In addition this patch adds a small optimization: if huge pages aren't configured (which is at least the case for 32-bit kernels), then the special bit is stored in the hpage (HUGE PAGE) bit instead. That way we can skip to reset the DMB bit. Fixes: df24e1783e6e ("parisc: Add vDSO support") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.18+ Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
