This series implements mitigations for lack of DMA access control on systems without an IOMMU, which could result in the DMA accessing the system memory at unexpected times and/or unexpected addresses, possibly leading to data leakage or corruption. For example, we plan to use the PCI-e bus for Wi-Fi and that PCI-e bus is not behind an IOMMU. As PCI-e, by design, gives the device full access to system memory, a vulnerability in the Wi-Fi firmware could easily escalate to a full system exploit (remote wifi exploits: [1a], [1b] that shows a full chain of exploits; [2], [3]). To mitigate the security concerns, we introduce restricted DMA. Restricted DMA utilizes the existing swiotlb to bounce streaming DMA in and out of a specially allocated region and does memory allocation from the same region. The feature on its own provides a basic level of protection against the DMA overwriting buffer contents at unexpected times. However, to protect against general data leakage and system memory corruption, the system needs to provide a way to restrict the DMA to a predefined memory region (this is usually done at firmware level, e.g. MPU in ATF on some ARM platforms [4]).
