Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] vmalloc: New flags for safe vfree on special perms
This adds two new flags VM_IMMEDIATE_UNMAP and VM_HAS_SPECIAL_PERMS, for
enabling vfree operations to immediately clear executable TLB entries to freed
pages, and handle freeing memory with special permissions.
In order to support vfree being called on memory that might be RO, the vfree
deferred list node is moved to a kmalloc allocated struct, from where it is
today, reusing the allocation being freed.
arch_vunmap is a new __weak function that implements the actual unmapping and
resetting of the direct map permissions. It can be overridden by more efficient
architecture specific implementations.
For the default implementation, it uses architecture agnostic methods which are
equivalent to what most usages do before calling vfree. So now it is just
centralized here.
This implementation derives from two sketches from Dave Hansen and Andy
Lutomirski.
