Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
56871d444b
The SPTE_MMIO_MASK overlaps with the bits used to track MMIO
generation number. A high enough generation number would overwrite the
SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK region and cause the MMIO SPTE to be misinterpreted.
Likewise, setting bits 52 and 53 would also cause an incorrect generation
number to be read from the PTE, though this was partially mitigated by the
(useless if it weren't for the bug) removal of SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK from
the spte in get_mmio_spte_generation. Drop that removal, and replace
it with a compile-time assertion.
Fixes:

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
