[PATCH RFC PKS/PMEM 04/58] kmap: Add stray access protection for device pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

Device managed pages may have additional protections.  These protections
need to be removed prior to valid use by kernel users.

Check for special treatment of device managed pages in kmap and take
action if needed.  We use kmap as an interface for generic kernel code
because under normal circumstances it would be a bug for general kernel
code to not use kmap prior to accessing kernel memory.  Therefore, this
should allow any valid kernel users to seamlessly use these pages
without issues.

Because of the critical nature of kmap it must be pointed out that the
over head on regular DRAM is carefully implemented to be as fast as
possible.  Furthermore the underlying MSR write required on device pages
when protected is better than a normal MSR write.

Specifically, WRMSR(MSR_IA32_PKRS) is not serializing but still
maintains ordering properties similar to WRPKRU.  The current SDM
section on PKRS needs updating but should be the same as that of WRPKRU.
So to quote from the WRPKRU text:

	WRPKRU will never execute speculatively. Memory accesses
	affected by PKRU register will not execute (even speculatively)
	until all prior executions of WRPKRU have completed execution
	and updated the PKRU register.

Still this will make accessing pmem more expensive from the kernel but
the overhead is minimized and many pmem users access this memory through
user page mappings which are not affected at all.
