Currently, the SMMU driver by default provides unprivilege read-write permission in page table entries of stage1 page table. For SMMUv2 with aarch64 long descriptor format, a privilege instruction fetch will generate context fault. To allow privilege instruction fetch from a MMU master we need to treat instruction fetch as data read. This patch adds an optional DT attribute 'smmu-inst-as-data' to treat privilege/unprivilege instruction fetch as data read for SMMUv2.
What's the use-case for retaining the privilege attribute over the instruction attribute? The pagetable code still maps everything with unprivileged permissions, and it isn't going to be relevant for the vast majority of devices. Conversely, the instruction/data distinction is likely to be useful in a lot more cases - there's a veritable class of exploits around tricking a DSP/GPU/VPU/whatever into executing malicious firmware/shaders/etc. - and the IOMMU API does already have support for that which this change subtly undermines: if you override INSTCFG this way, you also need to stop the SMMU from claiming to support IOMMU_NOEXEC, because it no longer will.

I would say this is too broad a condition - there's still no need to do this for AArch32 contexts at stage 1, and there's no need for it at stage 2 at all. Robin.
