* x86/mm: Identify the end of the kernel area to be reservedThomas Lendacky2019-06-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The memory occupied by the kernel is reserved using memblock_reserve() in setup_arch(). Currently, the area is from symbols _text to __bss_stop. Everything after __bss_stop must be specifically reserved otherwise it is discarded. This is not clearly documented. Add a new symbol, __end_of_kernel_reserve, that more readily identifies what is reserved, along with comments that indicate what is reserved, what is discarded and what needs to be done to prevent a section from being discarded.

* x86/pti/64: Remove the SYSCALL64 entry trampolineAndy Lutomirski2018-09-121-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SYSCALL64 trampoline has a couple of nice properties: - The usual sequence of SWAPGS followed by two GS-relative accesses to set up RSP is somewhat slow because the GS-relative accesses need to wait for SWAPGS to finish. The trampoline approach allows RIP-relative accesses to set up RSP, which avoids the stall. - The trampoline avoids any percpu access before CR3 is set up, which means that no percpu memory needs to be mapped in the user page tables. This prevents using Meltdown to read any percpu memory outside the cpu_entry_area and prevents using timing leaks to directly locate the percpu areas. The downsides of using a trampoline may outweigh the upsides, however. It adds an extra non-contiguous I$ cache line to system calls, and it forces an indirect jump to transfer control back to the normal kernel text after CR3 is set up. The latter is because x86 lacks a 64-bit direct jump instruction that could jump from the trampoline to the entry text. With retpolines enabled, the indirect jump is extremely slow. Change the code to map the percpu TSS into the user page tables to allow the non-trampoline SYSCALL64 path to work under PTI. This does not add a new direct information leak, since the TSS is readable by Meltdown from the cpu_entry_area alias regardless. It does allow a timing attack to locate the percpu area, but KASLR is more or less a lost cause against local attack on CPUs vulnerable to Meltdown regardless. As far as I'm concerned, on current hardware, KASLR is only useful to mitigate remote attacks that try to attack the kernel without first gaining RCE against a vulnerable user process. On Skylake, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and KPTI on, this reduces syscall overhead from ~237ns to ~228ns. There is a possible alternative approach: Move the trampoline within 2G of the entry text and make a separate copy for each CPU. This would allow a direct jump to rejoin the normal entry path. There are pro's and con's for this approach: + It avoids a pipeline stall - It executes from an extra page and read from another extra page during the syscall. The latter is because it needs to use a relative addressing mode to find sp1 -- it's the same *cacheline*, but accessed using an alias, so it's an extra TLB entry. - Slightly more memory. This would be one page per CPU for a simple implementation and 64-ish bytes per CPU or one page per node for a more complex implementation. - More code complexity. The current approach is chosen for simplicity and because the alternative does not provide a significant benefit, which makes it worth.

* x86/mm/pti: Make pti_clone_kernel_text() compile on 32 bitJoerg Roedel2018-07-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pti_clone_kernel_text() function references __end_rodata_hpage_align, which is only present on x86-64. This makes sense as the end of the rodata section is not huge-page aligned on 32 bit. Nevertheless a symbol is required for the function that points at the right address for both 32 and 64 bit. Introduce __end_rodata_aligned for that purpose and use it in pti_clone_kernel_text().

* x86/kprobes: Fix kernel crash when probing .entry_trampoline codeFrancis Deslauriers2018-03-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Disable the kprobe probing of the entry trampoline: .entry_trampoline is a code area that is used to ensure page table isolation between userspace and kernelspace. At the beginning of the execution of the trampoline, we load the kernel's CR3 register. This has the effect of enabling the translation of the kernel virtual addresses to physical addresses. Before this happens most kernel addresses can not be translated because the running process' CR3 is still used. If a kprobe is placed on the trampoline code before that change of the CR3 register happens the kernel crashes because int3 handling pages are not accessible. To fix this, add the .entry_trampoline section to the kprobe blacklist to prohibit the probing of code before all the kernel pages are accessible.

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* x86-64: align RODATA kernel section to 2MB with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATASuresh Siddha2009-10-201-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops the large pages spanning boundaries of kernel text/rodata/data to small 4KB pages as they are mapped with different attributes (text as RO, RODATA as RO and NX etc). On x86_64, preserve the large page mappings for kernel text/rodata/data boundaries when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. This is done by allowing the RODATA section to be hugepage aligned and having same RWX attributes for the 2MB page boundaries Extra Memory pages padding the sections will be freed during the end of the boot and the kernel identity mappings will have different RWX permissions compared to the kernel text mappings. Kernel identity mappings to these physical pages will be mapped with smaller pages but large page mappings are still retained for kernel text,rodata,data mappings.

* x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocationsJeremy Fitzhardinge2009-03-141-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: new interface Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never get used. The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or something into it. The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area (__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved up to __bss_stop. Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory. Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general kernel memory pool. Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk, there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.
