Details

Summary

Start to use the User and Privileged execute-never bits. This sets both bits when entering an address we know shouldn't be executed.

I expect we could mark all userspace pages as Privileged execute-never to ensure the kernel doesn't branch to one of these addresses.

While here add the ARMv8.1 upper attributes.

Test Plan

Netboot on a ThunderX to multiuser.

My impression is that r271716 would also apply to arm64.

andrew edited edge metadata.

Update the check in pmap_protect to be the same as rS271716
