[PATCH v11 23/45] x86/head/64: Re-enable stack protection

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

 



From: Michael Roth <michael.roth@xxxxxxx>

Due to commit 103a4908ad4d ("x86/head/64: Disable stack protection for
head$(BITS).o"), kernel/head{32,64}.c are compiled with
-fno-stack-protector to allow a call to set_bringup_idt_handler(), which
would otherwise have stack protection enabled with
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG.

While sufficient for that case, there may still be issues with calls to
any external functions that were compiled with stack protection enabled
that in-turn make stack-protected calls, or if the exception handlers
set up by set_bringup_idt_handler() make calls to stack-protected
functions.

Subsequent patches for SEV-SNP CPUID validation support will introduce
both such cases. Attempting to disable stack protection for everything
in scope to address that is prohibitive since much of the code, like
SEV-ES #VC handler, is shared code that remains in use after boot and
could benefit from having stack protection enabled. Attempting to inline
calls is brittle and can quickly balloon out to library/helper code
where that's not really an option.

Instead, re-enable stack protection for head32.c/head64.c, and make the
appropriate changes to ensure the segment used for the stack canary is
initialized in advance of any stack-protected C calls.

For head64.c:

- The BSP will enter from startup_64() and call into C code
  (startup_64_setup_env()) shortly after setting up the stack, which
  may result in calls to stack-protected code. Set up %gs early to allow
  for this safely.
- APs will enter from secondary_startup_64*(), and %gs will be set up
  soon after. There is one call to C code prior to %gs being setup
  (__startup_secondary_64()), but it is only to fetch 'sme_me_mask'
  global, so just load 'sme_me_mask' directly instead, and remove the
  now-unused __startup_secondary_64() function.

For head32.c:

- BSPs/APs will set %fs to __BOOT_DS prior to any C calls. In recent
  kernels, the compiler is configured to access the stack canary at
  %fs:__stack_chk_guard [1], which overlaps with the initial per-cpu
  '__stack_chk_guard' variable in the initial/"master" .data..percpu
  area. This is sufficient to allow access to the canary for use
  during initial startup, so no changes are needed there.
