[ Upstream commit 24cf2bc982ffe02aeffb4a3885c71751a2c7023b ]
Assume there's a multithreaded application that runs untrusted user
code. Each thread has its stack/code protected by a non-zero PKEY, and the
PKRU register is set up such that only that particular non-zero PKEY is
enabled. Each thread also sets up an alternate signal stack to handle
signals, which is protected by PKEY zero. The PKEYs man page documents that
the PKRU will be reset to init_pkru when the signal handler is invoked,
which means that PKEY zero access will be enabled. But this reset happens
after the kernel attempts to push fpu state to the alternate stack, which
is not (yet) accessible by the kernel, which leads to a new SIGSEGV being
sent to the application, terminating it.
Enabling both the non-zero PKEY (for the thread) and PKEY zero in
userspace will not work for this use case. It cannot have the alt stack
writeable by all - the rationale here is that the code running in that
thread (using a non-zero PKEY) is untrusted and should not have access
to the alternate signal stack (that uses PKEY zero), to prevent the
return address of a function from being changed. The expectation is that
kernel should be able to set up the alternate signal stack and deliver
the signal to the application even if PKEY zero is explicitly disabled
by the application. The signal handler accessibility should not be
dictated by whatever PKRU value the thread sets up.
The PKRU register is managed by XSAVE, which means the sigframe contents
must match the register contents - which is not the case here. It's
required that the signal frame contains the user-defined PKRU value (so
that it is restored correctly from sigcontext) but the actual register must
be reset to init_pkru so that the alt stack is accessible and the signal
can be delivered to the application. It seems that the proper fix here
would be to remove PKRU from the XSAVE framework and manage it separately,
which is quite complicated. As a workaround, do this:
orig_pkru = rdpkru();
wrpkru(orig_pkru & init_pkru_value);
xsave_to_user_sigframe();
put_user(pkru_sigframe_addr, orig_pkru)
In preparation for writing PKRU to sigframe, pass PKRU as an additional
parameter down the call chain from get_sigframe().
No functional change.
