[PATCH] x86: add phys addr validity check for /dev/mem mmap

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

 



When CR4.PAE is set, the 64b PTE's are used(ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is set for
X86_64 || X86_PAE). According to [1] Chapter 4 Paging, some higher bits in 64b
PTE are reserved and have to be set to zero. For example, for IA-32e and 4KB
page [1] 4.5 IA-32e Paging: Table 4-19, bits 51-M(MAXPHYADDR) are reserved. So
for a CPU with e.g. 48bit phys addr width, bits 51-48 have to be zero. If one of
the reserved bits is set, [1] 4.7 Page-Fault Exceptions, the #PF is generated
with RSVD error code.

RSVD flag (bit 3).
This flag is 1 if there is no valid translation for the linear address because a
reserved bit was set in one of the paging-structure entries used to translate
that address. (Because reserved bits are not checked in a paging-structure entry
whose P flag is 0, bit 3 of the error code can be set only if bit 0 is also
set.)

In mmap_mem() the first check is valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(), but it always
returns 1 on x86. So it's possible to use any pgoff we want and to set the PTE's
reserved bits in remap_pfn_range(). Meaning there is a possibility to use mmap
on /dev/mem and cause system panic. It's probably not that serious, because
access to /dev/mem is limited and the system has to have panic_on_oops set, but
still I think we should check this and return error.

This patch adds check for x86 when ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is set, the same way
as it is already done in e.g. ioremap. With this fix mmap returns -EINVAL if the
requested phys addr is bigger then the supported phys addr width.
