x86/mm/KASLR: Propagate KASLR status to kernel proper

2015-04-03T13:26:15+00:00

Commit: e2b32e678513 ("x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address") made module base address randomization unconditional and didn't regard disabled KKASLR due to CONFIG_HIBERNATION and command line option "nokaslr". For more info see (now reverted) commit: f47233c2d34f ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation") In order to propagate KASLR status to kernel proper, we need a single bit in boot_params.hdr.loadflags and we've chosen bit 1 thus leaving the top-down allocated bits for bits supposed to be used by the bootloader.

Revert "x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation"

2015-03-16T10:18:21+00:00

This reverts commit: f47233c2d34f ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation") The main reason for the revert is that the new boot flag does not work at all currently, and in order to make this work, we need non-trivial changes to the x86 boot code which we didn't manage to get done in time for merging. And even if we did, they would've been too risky so instead of rushing things and break booting 4.1 on boxes left and right, we will be very strict and conservative and will take our time with this to fix and test it properly.

x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation

2015-02-19T10:38:54+00:00

Commit: e2b32e678513 ("x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address") makes the base address for module to be unconditionally randomized in case when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is defined and "nokaslr" option isn't present on the commandline. This is not consistent with how choose_kernel_location() decides whether it will randomize kernel load base. Namely, CONFIG_HIBERNATION disables kASLR (unless "kaslr" option is explicitly specified on kernel commandline), which makes the state space larger than what module loader is looking at. IOW CONFIG_HIBERNATION && CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is a valid config option, kASLR wouldn't be applied by default in that case, but module loader is not aware of that. Instead of fixing the logic in module.c, this patch takes more generic aproach. It introduces a new bootparam setup data_type SETUP_KASLR and uses that to pass the information whether kaslr has been applied during kernel decompression, and sets a global 'kaslr_enabled' variable accordingly, so that any kernel code (module loading, livepatching, ...) can make decisions based on its value. x86 module loader is converted to make use of this flag.

x86, boot: Skip relocs when load address unchanged

2015-01-20T11:37:23+00:00

On 64-bit, relocation is not required unless the load address gets changed. Without this, relocations do unexpected things when the kernel is above 4G.

x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd

2014-11-01T21:20:50+00:00

When choosing a random address, the current implementation does not take into account the reversed space for .bss and .brk sections. Thus the relocated kernel may overlap other components in memory. Here is an example of the overlap from a x86_64 kernel in qemu (the ranges of physical addresses are presented): Physical Address 0x0fe00000 --+--------------------+ <-- randomized base / | relocated kernel | vmlinux.bin | (from vmlinux.bin) | 0x1336d000 (an ELF file) +--------------------+-- \ | | \ 0x1376d870 --+--------------------+ | | relocs table | | 0x13c1c2a8 +--------------------+ .bss and .brk | | | 0x13ce6000 +--------------------+ | | | / 0x13f77000 | initrd |-- | | 0x13fef374 +--------------------+ The initrd image will then be overwritten by the memset during early initialization: [ 1.655204] Unpacking initramfs... [ 1.662831] Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive This patch prevents the above situation by requiring a larger space when looking for a random kernel base, so that existing logic can effectively avoids the overlap.

x86, boot: Move memset() definition in compressed/string.c

2014-03-19T22:44:09+00:00

Currently compressed/misc.c needs to link against memset(). I think one of the reasons of this need is inclusion of various header files which define static inline functions and use memset() inside these. For example, include/linux/bitmap.h I think trying to include "../string.h" and using builtin version of memset does not work because by the time "#define memset" shows up, it is too late. Some other header file has already used memset() and expects to find a definition during link phase. Currently we have a C definitoin of memset() in misc.c. Move it to compressed/string.c so that others can use it if need be. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1395170800-11059-6-git-send-email-vgoyal@redhat.com Signed-off-by: H.
