[kernel-hardening][PATCH 3/3] arm: mm: dump: add checking for writable and executable pages
From: jinb.park <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-01 10:44:03
Also in:
lkml
Subsystem:
arm port, the rest · Maintainers:
Russell King, Linus Torvalds
Page mappings with full RWX permissions are a security risk.
x86, arm64 has an option to walk the page tables
and dump any bad pages.
(1404d6f13e47
("arm64: dump: Add checking for writable and exectuable pages"))
Add a similar implementation for arm.
