v5: - rebase to v5.12-rc2 - clean up static branch issues introduced since v4 series - adjust comments (Mark Rutland) - update kernel-parameters.txt (Randy Dunlap) v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200622193146.2985288-1-keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200406231606.37619-1-keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200324203231.64324-1-keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ rfc: https://lore.kernel.org/kernel-hardening/20190329081358.30497-1-elena.reshetova@xxxxxxxxx/ Hi, This is a continuation and refactoring of Elena's earlier effort to add kernel stack base offset randomization. In the time since the earlier discussions, two attacks[1][2] were made public that depended on stack determinism, so we're no longer in the position of "this is a good idea but we have no examples of attacks". :) Earlier discussions also devolved into debates on entropy sources, which is mostly a red herring, given the already low entropy available due to stack size. Regardless, entropy can be changed/improved separately from this series as needed. Earlier discussions also got stuck debating how much syscall overhead was too much, but this is also a red herring since the feature itself needs to be selectable at boot with no cost for those that don't want it: this is solved here with static branches. So, here is the latest improved version, made as arch-agnostic as possible, with usage added for x86 and arm64. It also includes some small static branch clean ups, and addresses some surprise performance issues due to the stack canary[3]. At the very least, the first three patches should land ASAP, the first is a minor bug fix for v5.11. The next two are optimizations for static branch usage that Peter already Acked. If I can get an Ack from an arm64 maintainer, I think this could all land via -tip to make merging easiest.
