Segment boundaries that fall\nwithin a 2MB block therefore require a PTE table so that different\nattributes can be applied on either side of the boundary.\n\nKERNEL_SEGMENT_COUNT still correctly counts the five permanent kernel\nVMAs registered by declare_kernel_vmas(). However, since commit\n5973a62efa34 (\"arm64: map [_text, _stext) virtual address range\nnon-executable+read-only\"), the early mapper also maps [_text, _stext)\nseparately from [_stext, _etext). This adds one more early-only split\nand can require one more page-table page than the existing\nEARLY_SEGMENT_EXTRA_PAGES allowance reserves.\n\nIncrease the 4K-page early mapping allowance by one page to cover that\nadditional split.\n\n[catalin.marinas@arm.com: rewrote part of the commit log]\n[catalin.marinas@arm.com: expanded the code comment]"}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/arm64/include/asm/kernel-pgtable.h"],"versions":[{"version":"fdd380a5950503a07aaaf74536a0c2f223475eb0","lessThan":"a4ff33053da0a34b14abb5c96dc5a48379e26fce","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5973a62efa34c80c9a4e5eac1fca6f6209b902af","lessThan":"dcb89deed40ba55ff7020061712fdabf098cc2cc","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5973a62efa34c80c9a4e5eac1fca6f6209b902af","lessThan":"9fe9e3acaa14921b0cf0d6cc2de5b562499bf721","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5973a62efa34c80c9a4e5eac1fca6f6209b902af","lessThan":"4d8e74ad4585672489da6145b3328d415f50db82","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"88025faf2aa08c7468d68d8cb31a53b55aae6ee0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6.12.54","lessThan":"6.12.91","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.17.4","lessThan":"6.18","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/arm64/include/asm/kernel-pgtable.h"],"versions":[{"version":"6.18","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.18","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.91","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.33","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.10","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12.54","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.91"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.33"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.17.4"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4ff33053da0a34b14abb5c96dc5a48379e26fce"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dcb89deed40ba55ff7020061712fdabf098cc2cc"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9fe9e3acaa14921b0cf0d6cc2de5b562499bf721"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4d8e74ad4585672489da6145b3328d415f50db82"}],"title":"arm64: Reserve an extra page for early kernel mapping","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
