Two enclave threads may try to add and remove the same enclave page
simultaneously (e.g., if the SGX runtime supports both lazy allocation
and MADV_DONTNEED semantics). Consider some enclave page added to the
enclave. User space decides to temporarily remove this page (e.g.,
emulating the MADV_DONTNEED semantics) on CPU1. At the same time, user
space performs a memory access on the same page on CPU2, which results
in a #PF and ultimately in sgx_vma_fault(). Scenario proceeds as
follows:
/*
* CPU1: User space performs
* ioctl(SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_REMOVE_PAGES)
* on enclave page X
*/
sgx_encl_remove_pages() {
mutex_lock(&encl->lock);
entry = sgx_encl_load_page(encl);
/*
* verify that page is
* trimmed and accepted
*/
mutex_unlock(&encl->lock);
/*
* remove PTE entry; cannot
* be performed under lock
*/
sgx_zap_enclave_ptes(encl);
/*
* Fault on CPU2 on same page X
*/
sgx_vma_fault() {
/*
* PTE entry was removed, but the
* page is still in enclave's xarray
*/
xa_load(&encl->page_array) != NULL ->
/*
* SGX driver thinks that this page
* was swapped out and loads it
*/
mutex_lock(&encl->lock);
/*
* this is effectively a no-op
*/
entry = sgx_encl_load_page_in_vma();
/*
* add PTE entry
*
* *BUG*: a PTE is installed for a
* page in process of being removed
*/
vmf_insert_pfn(...);
mutex_unlock(&encl->lock);
return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE;
}
/*
* continue with page removal
*/
mutex_lock(&encl->lock);
sgx_encl_free_epc_page(epc_page) {
/*
* remove page via EREMOVE
*/
/*
* free EPC page
*/
sgx_free_epc_page(epc_page);
}
xa_erase(&encl->page_array);
mutex_unlock(&encl->lock);
}
Here, CPU1 removed the page. However CPU2 installed the PTE entry on the
same page. This enclave page becomes perpetually inaccessible (until
another SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_REMOVE_PAGES ioctl). This is because the page is
marked accessible in the PTE entry but is not EAUGed, and any subsequent
access to this page raises a fault: with the kernel believing there to
be a valid VMA, the unlikely error code X86_PF_SGX encountered by code
path do_user_addr_fault() -> access_error() causes the SGX driver's
sgx_vma_fault() to be skipped and user space receives a SIGSEGV instead.
The userspace SIGSEGV handler cannot perform EACCEPT because the page
was not EAUGed. Thus, the user space is stuck with the inaccessible
page.
Fix this race by forcing the fault handler on CPU2 to back off if the
page is currently being removed (on CPU1). This is achieved by
introducing a new flag SGX_ENCL_PAGE_BEING_REMOVED, which is unset by
default and set only right-before the first mutex_unlock() in
sgx_encl_remove_pages(). Upon loading the page, CPU2 checks whether this
page is being removed, and if yes then CPU2 backs off and waits until
the page is completely removed. After that, any memory access to this
page results in a normal "allocate and EAUG a page on #PF" flow.
