arm64: mm: treat memstart_addr as a signed quantity

2016-02-29T18:31:03+00:00

Commit c031a4213c11 ("arm64: kaslr: randomize the linear region") implements randomization of the linear region, by subtracting a random multiple of PUD_SIZE from memstart_addr. This causes the virtual mapping of system RAM to move upwards in the linear region, and at the same time causes memstart_addr to assume a value which may be negative if the offset of system RAM in the physical space is smaller than its offset relative to PAGE_OFFSET in the virtual space. Since memstart_addr is effectively an offset now, redefine its type as s64 so that expressions involving shifting or division preserve its sign.

arm64: add support for kernel ASLR

2016-02-24T14:57:27+00:00

This adds support for KASLR is implemented, based on entropy provided by the bootloader in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property. Depending on the size of the address space (VA_BITS) and the page size, the entropy in the virtual displacement is up to 13 bits (16k/2 levels) and up to 25 bits (all 4 levels), with the sidenote that displacements that result in the kernel image straddling a 1GB/32MB/512MB alignment boundary (for 4KB/16KB/64KB granule kernels, respectively) are not allowed, and will be rounded up to an acceptable value. If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is enabled, the module region is randomized independently from the core kernel. This makes it less likely that the location of core kernel data structures can be determined by an adversary, but causes all function calls from modules into the core kernel to be resolved via entries in the module PLTs. If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not enabled, the module region is randomized by choosing a page aligned 128 MB region inside the interval [_etext - 128 MB, _stext + 128 MB). This gives between 10 and 14 bits of entropy (depending on page size), independently of the kernel randomization, but still guarantees that modules are within the range of relative branch and jump instructions (with the caveat that, since the module region is shared with other uses of the vmalloc area, modules may need to be loaded further away if the module region is exhausted) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

arm64: mm: use bit ops rather than arithmetic in pa/va translations

2016-02-23T17:43:25+00:00

Since PAGE_OFFSET is chosen such that it cuts the kernel VA space right in half, and since the size of the kernel VA space itself is always a power of 2, we can treat PAGE_OFFSET as a bitmask and replace the additions/subtractions with 'or' and 'and-not' operations. For the comparison against PAGE_OFFSET, a mov/cmp/branch sequence ends up getting replaced with a single tbz instruction. For the additions and subtractions, we save a mov instruction since the mask is folded into the instruction's immediate field. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

arm64: mm: only perform memstart_addr sanity check if DEBUG_VM

2016-02-23T17:42:11+00:00

Checking whether memstart_addr has been assigned every time it is referenced adds a branch instruction that may hurt performance if the reference in question occurs on a hot path. So only perform the check if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel [catalin.marinas@arm.com: replaced #ifdef with VM_BUG_ON] Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

arm64: allow kernel Image to be loaded anywhere in physical memory

2016-02-18T18:16:53+00:00

This relaxes the kernel Image placement requirements, so that it may be placed at any 2 MB aligned offset in physical memory. This is accomplished by ignoring PHYS_OFFSET when installing memblocks, and accounting for the apparent virtual offset of the kernel Image. As a result, virtual address references below PAGE_OFFSET are correctly mapped onto physical references into the kernel Image regardless of where it sits in memory. Special care needs to be taken for dealing with memory limits passed via mem=, since the generic implementation clips memory top down, which may clip the kernel image itself if it is loaded high up in memory. To deal with this case, we simply add back the memory covering the kernel image, which may result in more memory to be retained than was passed as a mem= parameter. Since mem= should not be considered a production feature, a panic notifier handler is installed that dumps the memory limit at panic time if one was set.

arm64: defer __va translation of initrd_start and initrd_end

2016-02-18T18:16:49+00:00

Before deferring the assignment of memstart_addr in a subsequent patch, to the moment where all memory has been discovered and possibly clipped based on the size of the linear region and the presence of a mem= command line parameter, we need to ensure that memstart_addr is not used to perform __va translations before it is assigned. One such use is in the generic early DT discovery of the initrd location, which is recorded as a virtual address in the globals initrd_start and initrd_end. So wire up the generic support to declare the initrd addresses, and implement it without __va() translations, and perform the translation after memstart_addr has been assigned.

arm64: move kernel image to base of vmalloc area

2016-02-18T18:16:44+00:00

This moves the module area to right before the vmalloc area, and moves the kernel image to the base of the vmalloc area. This is an intermediate step towards implementing KASLR, which allows the kernel image to be located anywhere in the vmalloc area. Since other subsystems such as hibernate may still need to refer to the kernel text or data segments via their linears addresses, both are mapped in the linear region as well. The linear alias of the text region is mapped read-only/non-executable to prevent inadvertent modification or execution. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

arm64: introduce KIMAGE_VADDR as the virtual base of the kernel region

2016-02-18T18:16:27+00:00

This introduces the preprocessor symbol KIMAGE_VADDR which will serve as the symbolic virtual base of the kernel region, i.e., the kernel's virtual offset will be KIMAGE_VADDR + TEXT_OFFSET. For now, we define it as being equal to PAGE_OFFSET, but in the future, it will be moved below it once we move the kernel virtual mapping out of the linear mapping.

arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappings

2016-02-18T18:16:16+00:00

This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent patch.
