From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi, @Andrew, this is based on v5.11-rc4-mmots-2021-01-19-13-54 with secretmem patches dropped from there, I can rebase whatever way you prefer. This is an implementation of "secret" mappings backed by a file descriptor. The file descriptor backing secret memory mappings is created using a dedicated memfd_secret system call The desired protection mode for the memory is configured using flags parameter of the system call. The mmap() of the file descriptor created with memfd_secret() will create a "secret" memory mapping. The pages in that mapping will be marked as not present in the direct map and will be present only in the page table of the owning mm. Although normally Linux userspace mappings are protected from other users, such secret mappings are useful for environments where a hostile tenant is trying to trick the kernel into giving them access to other tenants mappings. Additionally, in the future the secret mappings may be used as a mean to protect guest memory in a virtual machine host. For demonstration of secret memory usage we've created a userspace library https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/secret-memory-preloader.git that does two things: the first is act as a preloader for openssl to redirect all the OPENSSL_malloc calls to secret memory meaning any secret keys get automatically protected this way and the other thing it does is expose the API to the user who needs it. We anticipate that a lot of the use cases would be like the openssl one: many toolkits that deal with secret keys already have special handling for the memory to try to give them greater protection, so this would simply be pluggable into the toolkits without any need for user application modification. Hiding secret memory mappings behind an anonymous file allows (ab)use of the page cache for tracking pages allocated for the "secret" mappings as well as using address_space_operations for e.g. page migration callbacks. The anonymous file may be also used implicitly, like hugetlb files, to implement mmap(MAP_SECRET) and use the secret memory areas with "native" mm ABIs in the future. To limit fragmentation of the direct map to splitting only PUD-size pages, I've added an amortizing cache of PMD-size pages to each file descriptor that is used as an allocation pool for the secret memory areas. As the memory allocated by secretmem becomes unmovable, we use CMA to back large page caches so that page allocator won't be surprised by failing attempt to migrate these pages. v15: * Add riscv/Kconfig update to disable set_memory operations for nommu builds (patch 3) * Update the code around add_to_page_cache() per Matthew's comments (patches 6,7) * Add fixups for build/checkpatch errors discovered by CI systems v14: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201203062949.5484-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx * Finally s/mod_node_page_state/mod_lruvec_page_state/ v13: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201201074559.27742-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx * Added Reviewed-by, thanks Catalin and David * s/mod_node_page_state/mod_lruvec_page_state/ as Shakeel suggested v12: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201125092208.12544-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx * Add detection of whether set_direct_map has actual effect on arm64 and bail out of CMA allocation for secretmem and the memfd_secret() syscall if pages would not be removed from the direct map v11: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201124092556.12009-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx * Drop support for uncached mappings Older history: v10: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201123095432.5860-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v9: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201117162932.13649-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v8: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201110151444.20662-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v7: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201026083752.13267-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v6: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200924132904.1391-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v5: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200916073539.3552-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200818141554.13945-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200804095035.18778-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200727162935.31714-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200720092435.17469-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx Mike Rapoport (11): mm: add definition of PMD_PAGE_ORDER mmap: make mlock_future_check() global riscv/Kconfig: make direct map manipulation options depend on MMU set_memory: allow set_direct_map_*_noflush() for multiple pages set_memory: allow querying whether set_direct_map_*() is actually enabled mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas secretmem: use PMD-size pages to amortize direct map fragmentation secretmem: add memcg accounting PM: hibernate: disable when there are active secretmem users arch, mm: wire up memfd_secret system call where relevant secretmem: test: add basic selftest for memfd_secret(2) arch/arm64/include/asm/Kbuild | 1 - arch/arm64/include/asm/cacheflush.h | 6 - arch/arm64/include/asm/set_memory.h | 17 + arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h | 1 + arch/arm64/kernel/machine_kexec.c | 1 + arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c | 6 +- arch/arm64/mm/pageattr.c | 23 +- arch/riscv/Kconfig | 4 +- arch/riscv/include/asm/set_memory.h | 4 +- arch/riscv/include/asm/unistd.h | 1 + arch/riscv/mm/pageattr.c | 8 +- arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl | 1 + arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl | 1 + arch/x86/include/asm/set_memory.h | 4 +- arch/x86/mm/pat/set_memory.c | 8 +- fs/dax.c | 11 +- include/linux/pgtable.h | 3 + include/linux/secretmem.h | 30 ++ include/linux/set_memory.h | 16 +- include/linux/syscalls.h | 1 + include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h | 6 +- include/uapi/linux/magic.h | 1 + kernel/power/hibernate.c | 5 +- kernel/power/snapshot.c | 4 +- kernel/sys_ni.c | 2 + mm/Kconfig | 5 + mm/Makefile | 1 + mm/filemap.c | 3 +- mm/gup.c | 10 + mm/internal.h | 3 + mm/mmap.c | 5 +- mm/secretmem.c | 444 ++++++++++++++++++++++ mm/vmalloc.c | 5 +- scripts/checksyscalls.sh | 4 + tools/testing/selftests/vm/.gitignore | 1 + tools/testing/selftests/vm/Makefile | 3 +- tools/testing/selftests/vm/memfd_secret.c | 296 +++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/vm/run_vmtests | 17 + 38 files changed, 910 insertions(+), 52 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/arm64/include/asm/set_memory.h create mode 100644 include/linux/secretmem.h create mode 100644 mm/secretmem.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/vm/memfd_secret.c -- 2.28.0
