2024-03-01x86/alternatives: Disable KASAN in apply_alternatives()Kirill A. Shutemov
[ Upstream commit d35652a5fc9944784f6f50a5c979518ff8dacf61 ] Fei has reported that KASAN triggers during apply_alternatives() on a 5-level paging machine: BUG: KASAN: out-of-bounds in rcu_is_watching() Read of size 4 at addr ff110003ee6419a0 by task swapper/0/0 ... __asan_load4() rcu_is_watching() trace_hardirqs_on() text_poke_early() apply_alternatives() ... On machines with 5-level paging, cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_LA57) gets patched. It includes KASAN code, where KASAN_SHADOW_START depends on __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT, which is defined with cpu_feature_enabled(). KASAN gets confused when apply_alternatives() patches the KASAN_SHADOW_START users. A test patch that makes KASAN_SHADOW_START static, by replacing __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT with 56, works around the issue. Fix it for real by disabling KASAN while the kernel is patching alternatives.

2024-01-08x86/alternatives: Sync core before enabling interruptsThomas Gleixner
commit 3ea1704a92967834bf0e64ca1205db4680d04048 upstream. text_poke_early() does: local_irq_save(flags); memcpy(addr, opcode, len); local_irq_restore(flags); sync_core(); That's not really correct because the synchronization should happen before interrupts are re-enabled to ensure that a pending interrupt observes the complete update of the opcodes. It's not entirely clear whether the interrupt entry provides enough serialization already, but moving the sync_core() invocation into interrupt disabled region does no harm and is obviously correct.

2021-04-08x86/alternatives: Acquire pte lock with interrupts enabledSebastian Andrzej Siewior
commit a6d996cbd38b42341ad3fce74506b9fdc280e395 upstream pte lock is never acquired in-IRQ context so it does not require interrupts to be disabled. The lock is a regular spinlock which cannot be acquired with interrupts disabled on RT. RT complains about pte_lock() in __text_poke() because it's invoked after disabling interrupts. __text_poke() has to disable interrupts as use_temporary_mm() expects interrupts to be off because it invokes switch_mm_irqs_off() and uses per-CPU (current active mm) data. Move the PTE lock handling outside the interrupt disabled region.

The problem is that the KASAN-ified version of int3_magic() is much less trivial than the C code appears. It clobbers several unexpected registers. So when the selftest's INT3 is converted to an emulated call to int3_magic(), the registers are clobbered and Bad Things happen when the function returns. Fix this by converting int3_magic() to the trivial ASM function it should be, avoiding all calling convention issues. Also add ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT to the INT3 ASM, since it contains a 'CALL'.

2019-06-17x86/alternative: Batch of patch operationsDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
Currently, the patch of an address is done in three steps: -- Pseudo-code #1 - Current implementation --- 1) add an int3 trap to the address that will be patched sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) 2) update all but the first byte of the patched range sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) 3) replace the first byte (int3) by the first byte of replacing opcode sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) -- Pseudo-code #1 --- When a static key has more than one entry, these steps are called once for each entry. The number of IPIs then is linear with regard to the number 'n' of entries of a key: O(n*3), which is O(n). This algorithm works fine for the update of a single key. But we think it is possible to optimize the case in which a static key has more than one entry. For instance, the sched_schedstats jump label has 56 entries in my (updated) fedora kernel, resulting in 168 IPIs for each CPU in which the thread that is enabling the key is _not_ running. With this patch, rather than receiving a single patch to be processed, a vector of patches is passed, enabling the rewrite of the pseudo-code #1 in this way: -- Pseudo-code #2 - This patch --- 1) for each patch in the vector: add an int3 trap to the address that will be patched sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) 2) for each patch in the vector: update all but the first byte of the patched range sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) 3) for each patch in the vector: replace the first byte (int3) by the first byte of replacing opcode sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) -- Pseudo-code #2 - This patch --- Doing the update in this way, the number of IPI becomes O(3) with regard to the number of keys, which is O(1). The batch mode is done with the function text_poke_bp_batch(), that receives two arguments: a vector of "struct text_to_poke", and the number of entries in the vector. The vector must be sorted by the addr field of the text_to_poke structure, enabling the binary search of a handler in the poke_int3_handler function (a fast path).

2019-04-30x86/modules: Avoid breaking W^X while loading modulesNadav Amit
When modules and BPF filters are loaded, there is a time window in which some memory is both writable and executable. An attacker that has already found another vulnerability (e.g., a dangling pointer) might be able to exploit this behavior to overwrite kernel code. Prevent having writable executable PTEs in this stage. In addition, avoiding having W+X mappings can also slightly simplify the patching of modules code on initialization (e.g., by alternatives and static-key), as would be done in the next patch. This was actually the main motivation for this patch. To avoid having W+X mappings, set them initially as RW (NX) and after they are set as RO set them as X as well. Setting them as executable is done as a separate step to avoid one core in which the old PTE is cached (hence writable), and another which sees the updated PTE (executable), which would break the W^X protection.

2019-04-30x86/alternatives: Use temporary mm for text pokingNadav Amit
text_poke() can potentially compromise security as it sets temporary PTEs in the fixmap. These PTEs might be used to rewrite the kernel code from other cores accidentally or maliciously, if an attacker gains the ability to write onto kernel memory. Moreover, since remote TLBs are not flushed after the temporary PTEs are removed, the time-window in which the code is writable is not limited if the fixmap PTEs - maliciously or accidentally - are cached in the TLB. To address these potential security hazards, use a temporary mm for patching the code. Finally, text_poke() is also not conservative enough when mapping pages, as it always tries to map 2 pages, even when a single one is sufficient. So try to be more conservative, and do not map more than needed.

2019-04-30x86/alternatives: Initialize temporary mm for patchingNadav Amit
To prevent improper use of the PTEs that are used for text patching, the next patches will use a temporary mm struct. Initailize it by copying the init mm. The address that will be used for patching is taken from the lower area that is usually used for the task memory. Doing so prevents the need to frequently synchronize the temporary-mm (e.g., when BPF programs are installed), since different PGDs are used for the task memory. Finally, randomize the address of the PTEs to harden against exploits that use these PTEs.

2019-04-30x86/alternatives: Add text_poke_kgdb() to not assert the lock when debuggingNadav Amit
text_mutex is currently expected to be held before text_poke() is called, but kgdb does not take the mutex, and instead *supposedly* ensures the lock is not taken and will not be acquired by any other core while text_poke() is running. The reason for the "supposedly" comment is that it is not entirely clear that this would be the case if gdb_do_roundup is zero. Create two wrapper functions, text_poke() and text_poke_kgdb(), which do or do not run the lockdep assertion respectively. While we are at it, change the return code of text_poke() to something meaningful. One day, callers might actually respect it and the existing BUG_ON() when patching fails could be removed. For kgdb, the return value can actually be used.

The 'noreplace-paravirt' option disables paravirt patching, leaving the original pv indirect calls in place. That's highly incompatible with retpolines, unless we want to uglify paravirt even further and convert the paravirt calls to retpolines. As far as I can tell, the option doesn't seem to be useful for much other than introducing surprising corner cases and making the kernel vulnerable to Spectre v2. It was probably a debug option from the early paravirt days. So just remove it.

2017-11-07kprobes, x86/alternatives: Use text_mutex to protect smp_alt_modulesZhou Chengming
We use alternatives_text_reserved() to check if the address is in the fixed pieces of alternative reserved, but the problem is that we don't hold the smp_alt mutex when call this function. So the list traversal may encounter a deleted list_head if another path is doing alternatives_smp_module_del(). One solution is that we can hold smp_alt mutex before call this function, but the difficult point is that the callers of this functions, arch_prepare_kprobe() and arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe(), are called inside the text_mutex. So we must hold smp_alt mutex before we go into these arch dependent code. But we can't now, the smp_alt mutex is the arch dependent part, only x86 has it. Maybe we can export another arch dependent callback to solve this. But there is a simpler way to handle this problem. We can reuse the text_mutex to protect smp_alt_modules instead of using another mutex. And all the arch dependent checks of kprobes are inside the text_mutex, so it's safe now.

2016-12-20x86/alternatives: Do not use sync_core() to serialize I$Borislav Petkov
We use sync_core() in the alternatives code to stop speculative execution of prefetched instructions because we are potentially changing them and don't want to execute stale bytes. What it does on most machines is call CPUID which is a serializing instruction. And that's expensive. However, the instruction cache is serialized when we're on the local CPU and are changing the data through the same virtual address. So then, we don't need the serializing CPUID but a simple control flow change. Last being accomplished with a CALL/RET which the noinline causes.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat - so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request, collected into the 'x86/core' topic. The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good - but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the end. The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will have fewer dependencies). The main changes in this cycle were: * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner) - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86 interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt domains: [IOAPIC domain] ----- | [MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ] | (optional) | [HPET MSI domain] ----- | | [DMAR domain] ----------------------------- | [Legacy domain] ----------------------------- This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet and the vector management. - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt injection into guests (Feng Wu) * x86/asm changes: - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski, Brian Gerst) - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar) - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations. Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does not rely on them (Ingo Molnar) - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov) * x86/mm changes: - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers - in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov) - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani) * x86/ras changes: - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan) This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as far as possible. - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system- wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj) - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov) * x86/platform changes: - Intel Atom SoC updates ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the shortlog and the Git log for details" * 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits) x86/hpet: Use proper hpet device number for MSI allocation x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts x86/mm/pat, drivers/infiniband/ipath: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/mm/pat, drivers/media/ivtv: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/platform/intel/baytrail: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail genirq: Prevent crash in irq_move_irq() genirq: Enhance irq_data_to_desc() to support hierarchy irqdomain iommu, x86: Properly handle posted interrupts for IOMMU hotplug iommu, x86: Provide irq_remapping_cap() interface iommu, x86: Setup Posted-Interrupts capability for Intel iommu iommu, x86: Add cap_pi_support() to detect VT-d PI capability iommu, x86: Avoid migrating VT-d posted interrupts iommu, x86: Save the mode (posted or remapped) of an IRTE iommu, x86: Implement irq_set_vcpu_affinity for intel_ir_chip iommu: dmar: Provide helper to copy shared irte fields iommu: dmar: Extend struct irte for VT-d Posted-Interrupts iommu: Add new member capability to struct irq_remap_ops x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code x86/asm/entry/32: Shorten __audit_syscall_entry() args preparation x86/asm/entry/32: Explain reloading of registers after __audit_syscall_entry() ...

2015-04-06x86/alternatives: Guard NOPs optimizationBorislav Petkov
Take a look at the first instruction byte before optimizing the NOP - there might be something else there already, like the ALTERNATIVE_2() in rdtsc_barrier() which NOPs out on AMD even though we just patched in an MFENCE. This happens because the alternatives sees X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC, AMD CPUs set it, we patch in the MFENCE and right afterwards it sees X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC which AMD CPUs don't set and we blindly optimize the NOP. Checking whether at least the first byte is 0x90 prevents that.

2015-04-04x86/alternatives: Fix ALTERNATIVE_2 padding generation properlyBorislav Petkov
Quentin caught a corner case with the generation of instruction padding in the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro: if len(orig_insn) < len(alt1) < len(alt2), then not enough padding gets added and that is not good(tm) as we could overwrite the beginning of the next instruction. Luckily, at the time of this writing, we don't have ALTERNATIVE_2() invocations which have that problem and even if we did, a simple fix would be to prepend the instructions with enough prefixes so that that corner case doesn't happen. However, best it would be if we fixed it properly. See below for a simple, abstracted example of what we're doing. So what we ended up doing is, we compute the max(len(alt1), len(alt2)) - len(orig_insn) and feed that value to the .skip gas directive. The max() cannot have conditionals due to gas limitations, thus the fancy integer math. With this patch, all ALTERNATIVE_2 sites get padded correctly; generating obscure test cases pass too: #define alt_max_short(a, b) ((a) ^ (((a) ^ (b)) & -(-((a) < (b))))) #define gen_skip(orig, alt1, alt2, marker) \ .skip -((alt_max_short(alt1, alt2) - (orig)) > 0) * \ (alt_max_short(alt1, alt2) - (orig)),marker .pushsection .text, "ax" .globl main main: gen_skip(1, 2, 4, 0x09) gen_skip(4, 1, 2, 0x10) ... .popsection Thanks to Quentin for catching it and double-checking the fix!

2015-02-23x86/alternatives: Use optimized NOPs for paddingBorislav Petkov
Alternatives allow now for an empty old instruction. In this case we go and pad the space with NOPs at assembly time. However, there are the optimal, longer NOPs which should be used. Do that at patching time by adding alt_instr.padlen-sized NOPs at the old instruction address. Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
2015-02-23x86/alternatives: Make JMPs more robustBorislav Petkov
Up until now we had to pay attention to relative JMPs in alternatives about how their relative offset gets computed so that the jump target is still correct. Or, as it is the case for near CALLs (opcode e8), we still have to go and readjust the offset at patching time. What is more, the static_cpu_has_safe() facility had to forcefully generate 5-byte JMPs since we couldn't rely on the compiler to generate properly sized ones so we had to force the longest ones. Worse than that, sometimes it would generate a replacement JMP which is longer than the original one, thus overwriting the beginning of the next instruction at patching time. So, in order to alleviate all that and make using JMPs more straight-forward we go and pad the original instruction in an alternative block with NOPs at build time, should the replacement(s) be longer. This way, alternatives users shouldn't pay special attention so that original and replacement instruction sizes are fine but the assembler would simply add padding where needed and not do anything otherwise. As a second aspect, we go and recompute JMPs at patching time so that we can try to make 5-byte JMPs into two-byte ones if possible. If not, we still have to recompute the offsets as the replacement JMP gets put far away in the .altinstr_replacement section leading to a wrong offset if copied verbatim. For example, on a locally generated kernel image old insn VA: 0xffffffff810014bd, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, size: 2 __switch_to: ffffffff810014bd: eb 21 jmp ffffffff810014e0 repl insn: size: 5 ffffffff81d0b23c: e9 b1 62 2f ff jmpq ffffffff810014f2 gets corrected to a 2-byte JMP: apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+21, old: (ffffffff810014bd, len: 2), repl: (ffffffff81d0b23c, len: 5) alt_insn: e9 b1 62 2f ff recompute_jumps: next_rip: ffffffff81d0b241, tgt_rip: ffffffff810014f2, new_displ: 0x00000033, ret len: 2 converted to: eb 33 90 90 90 and a 5-byte JMP: old insn VA: 0xffffffff81001516, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, size: 2 __switch_to: ffffffff81001516: eb 30 jmp ffffffff81001548 repl insn: size: 5 ffffffff81d0b241: e9 10 63 2f ff jmpq ffffffff81001556 gets shortened into a two-byte one: apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+21, old: (ffffffff81001516, len: 2), repl: (ffffffff81d0b241, len: 5) alt_insn: e9 10 63 2f ff recompute_jumps: next_rip: ffffffff81d0b246, tgt_rip: ffffffff81001556, new_displ: 0x0000003e, ret len: 2 converted to: eb 3e 90 90 90 ... and so on. This leads to a net win of around 40ish replacements * 3 bytes savings =~ 120 bytes of I$ on an AMD guest which means some savings of precious instruction cache bandwidth. The padding to the shorter 2-byte JMPs are single-byte NOPs which on smart microarchitectures means discarding NOPs at decode time and thus freeing up execution bandwidth.

2015-02-23x86/alternatives: Add instruction paddingBorislav Petkov
Up until now we have always paid attention to make sure the length of the new instruction replacing the old one is at least less or equal to the length of the old instruction. If the new instruction is longer, at the time it replaces the old instruction it will overwrite the beginning of the next instruction in the kernel image and cause your pants to catch fire. So instead of having to pay attention, teach the alternatives framework to pad shorter old instructions with NOPs at buildtime - but only in the case when len(old instruction(s)) < len(new instruction(s)) and add nothing in the >= case. (In that case we do add_nops() when patching). This way the alternatives user shouldn't have to care about instruction sizes and simply use the macros. Add asm ALTERNATIVE* flavor macros too, while at it. Also, we need to save the pad length in a separate struct alt_instr member for NOP optimization and the way to do that reliably is to carry the pad length instead of trying to detect whether we're looking at single-byte NOPs or at pathological instruction offsets like e9 90 90 90 90, for example, which is a valid instruction.
