Subject: [PATCH] mmu: explicitly map executable non-SDRAM regions with MAP_CODE
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2025 14:36:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250618123642.1432610-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)

So far we have been setting eXecute Never on MAP_UNCACHED regions and
left it out for the default MAP_CACHED region.

We have at least three places, which depend on this to remap non-SDRAM
regions executable, so ROM code or newly uploaded code can be run.

Switch them over to use a new MAP_CODE mapping type. For now, this is
equivalent to MAP_CACHED, but with the addition of W^X support in
barebox, this will be required to avoid a prefetch abort when MMU
attributes are used.

Sascha, I think this should be ordered before your MMU patches to avoid
the known regressions. Let's see what else there is. :)
