[PATCH v7 00/11] arm64: Branch Target Identification support

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

 



This patch series implements support for ARMv8.5-A Branch Target
Identification (BTI), which is a control flow integrity protection
feature introduced as part of the ARMv8.5-A extensions.

Changes:

v7:
 - Rebase onto v5.6-rc3.
 - Move comment about keeping NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 internal into first
   patch.
 - Add an explicit check for system_supports_bti() when parsing BTI ELF
   property for improved robustness.
v6:
 - Rebase onto v5.6-rc1.
 - Fix typos s/BYTPE/BTYPE/ in commit log for "arm64: BTI: Decode BYTPE
   bits when printing PSTATE".
v5:
 - Changed a bunch of -EIO to -ENOEXEC in the ELF parsing code.
 - Move PSR_BTYPE defines to UAPI.
 - Use compat_user_mode() rather than open coding.
 - Fix a typo s/BYTPE/BTYPE/ in syscall.c
v4:
 - Dropped patch fixing existing documentation as it has already been merged.
 - Convert WARN_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in "ELF: Add ELF program property
   parsing support".
 - Added display of guarded pages to ptdump.
 - Updated for conversion of exception handling from assembler to C.

Notes:

 * GCC 9 can compile backwards-compatible BTI-enabled code with
   -mbranch-protection=bti or -mbranch-protection=standard.

 * Binutils trunk supports the new ELF note, but this wasn't in a release
   the last time I posted this series.  (The situation _might_ have changed
   in the meantime...)

   Creation of a BTI-enabled binary requires _everything_ linked in to
   be BTI-enabled.  For now ld --force-bti can be used to override this,
   but some things may break until the required C library support is in
   place.

   There is no straightforward way to mark a .s file as BTI-enabled:
   scraping the output from gcc -S works as a quick hack for now.

   readelf -n can be used to examing the program properties in an ELF
   file.

 * Runtime mmap() and mprotect() can be used to enable BTI on a
   page-by-page basis using the new PROT_BTI, but the code in the
   affected pages still needs to be written or compiled to contain the
   appopriate BTI landing pads.
