This patchset improves several overlapping issues around stale TLB entries and W^X violations. It is combined from "x86/alternative: text_poke() enhancements v7" [1] and "Don’t leave executable TLB entries to freed pages v2" [2] patchsets that were conflicting. The related issues that this fixes: 1. Fixmap PTEs that are used for patching are available for access from other cores and might be exploited. They are not even flushed from the TLB in remote cores, so the risk is even higher. Address this issue by introducing a temporary mm that is only used during patching. Unfortunately, due to init ordering, fixmap is still used during boot-time patching. Future patches can eliminate the need for it. 2. Missing lockdep assertion to ensure text_mutex is taken. It is actually not always taken, so fix the instances that were found not to take the lock (although they should be safe even without taking the lock). 3. Module_alloc returning memory that is RWX until a module is finished loading. 4. Sometimes when memory is freed via the module subsystem, an executable permissioned TLB entry can remain to a freed page. If the page is re-used to back an address that will receive data from userspace, it can result in user data being mapped as executable in the kernel. The root of this behavior is vfree lazily flushing the TLB, but not lazily freeing the underlying pages. Changes v2 to v3: - Fix commit messages and comments [Boris] - Rename VM_HAS_SPECIAL_PERMS [Boris] - Remove unnecessary local variables [Boris] - Rename set_alias_*() functions [Boris, Andy] - Save/restore DR registers when using temporary mm - Move line deletion from patch 10 to patch 17 Changes v1 to v2: - Adding “Reviewed-by tag” [Masami] - Comment instead of code to warn against module removal while patching [Masami] - Avoiding open-coded TLB flush [Andy] - Remove "This patch" [Borislav Petkov] - Not set global bit during text poking [Andy, hpa] - Add Ack from [Pavel Machek] - Split patch 16 "Plug in new special vfree flag" into 4 patches (16-19) to make it easier to review. There were no code changes. The changes from "Don’t leave executable TLB entries to freed pages v2" to v1: - Add support for case of hibernate trying to save an unmapped page on the directmap. (Ard Biesheuvel) - No week arch breakout for vfree-ing special memory (Andy Lutomirski) - Avoid changing deferred free code by moving modules init free to work queue (Andy Lutomirski) - Plug in new flag for kprobes and ftrace - More arch generic names for set_pages functions (Ard Biesheuvel) - Fix for TLB not always flushing the directmap (Nadav Amit) Changes from "x86/alternative: text_poke() enhancements v7" to v1 - Fix build failure on CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n (Rick) - Remove text_poke usage from ftrace (Nadav) [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/5/200 [2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/11/1571 Andy Lutomirski (1): x86/mm: Introduce temporary mm structs Nadav Amit (12): x86/jump_label: Use text_poke_early() during early init x86/mm: Save DRs when loading a temporary mm fork: Provide a function for copying init_mm x86/alternative: Initialize temporary mm for patching x86/alternative: Use temporary mm for text poking x86/kgdb: Avoid redundant comparison of patched code x86/ftrace: Set trampoline pages as executable x86/kprobes: Set instruction page as executable x86/module: Avoid breaking W^X while loading modules x86/jump-label: Remove support for custom poker x86/alternative: Remove the return value of text_poke_*() x86/alternative: Comment about module removal races Rick Edgecombe (7): x86/mm/cpa: Add set_direct_map_ functions mm: Make hibernate handle unmapped pages vmalloc: Add flag for free of special permsissions modules: Use vmalloc special flag bpf: Use vmalloc special flag x86/ftrace: Use vmalloc special flag x86/kprobes: Use vmalloc special flag arch/Kconfig | 4 + arch/x86/Kconfig | 1 + arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h | 2 - arch/x86/include/asm/mmu_context.h | 58 ++++++++++ arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h | 3 + arch/x86/include/asm/set_memory.h | 3 + arch/x86/include/asm/text-patching.h | 6 +- arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c | 153 +++++++++++++++++++++------ arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c | 14 ++- arch/x86/kernel/jump_label.c | 21 ++-- arch/x86/kernel/kgdb.c | 14 +-- arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/core.c | 19 +++- arch/x86/kernel/module.c | 2 +- arch/x86/mm/init_64.c | 36 +++++++ arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c | 16 +-- arch/x86/xen/mmu_pv.c | 2 - include/linux/filter.h | 18 +--- include/linux/mm.h | 18 ++-- include/linux/sched/task.h | 1 + include/linux/set_memory.h | 10 ++ include/linux/vmalloc.h | 13 +++ init/main.c | 3 + kernel/bpf/core.c | 1 - kernel/fork.c | 24 +++-- kernel/module.c | 82 +++++++------- kernel/power/snapshot.c | 5 +- mm/page_alloc.c | 7 +- mm/vmalloc.c | 113 ++++++++++++++++---- 28 files changed, 475 insertions(+), 174 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1
