syscalls: fix compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64 usage

2024-07-05T07:34:04+00:00

commit d3882564a77c21eb746ba5364f3fa89b88de3d61 upstream. Using sys_io_pgetevents() as the entry point for compat mode tasks works almost correctly, but misses the sign extension for the min_nr and nr arguments. This was addressed on parisc by switching to compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64() in commit 6431e92fc827 ("parisc: io_pgetevents_time64() needs compat syscall in 32-bit compat mode"), as well as by using more sophisticated system call wrappers on x86 and s390. However, arm64, mips, powerpc, sparc and riscv still have the same bug. Change all of them over to use compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64() like parisc already does. This was clearly the intention when the function was originally added, but it got hooked up incorrectly in the tables.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen: "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

x86/shstk: Introduce map_shadow_stack syscall

2023-08-02T22:01:51+00:00

When operating with shadow stacks enabled, the kernel will automatically allocate shadow stacks for new threads, however in some cases userspace will need additional shadow stacks. The main example of this is the ucontext family of functions, which require userspace allocating and pivoting to userspace managed stacks. Unlike most other user memory permissions, shadow stacks need to be provisioned with special data in order to be useful. They need to be setup with a restore token so that userspace can pivot to them via the RSTORSSP instruction. But, the security design of shadow stacks is that they should not be written to except in limited circumstances. This presents a problem for userspace, as to how userspace can provision this special data, without allowing for the shadow stack to be generally writable. Previously, a new PROT_SHADOW_STACK was attempted, which could be mprotect()ed from RW permissions after the data was provisioned. This was found to not be secure enough, as other threads could write to the shadow stack during the writable window. The kernel can use a special instruction, WRUSS, to write directly to userspace shadow stacks. So the solution can be that memory can be mapped as shadow stack permissions from the beginning (never generally writable in userspace), and the kernel itself can write the restore token. First, a new madvise() flag was explored, which could operate on the PROT_SHADOW_STACK memory. This had a couple of downsides: 1. Extra checks were needed in mprotect() to prevent writable memory from ever becoming PROT_SHADOW_STACK. 2. Extra checks/vma state were needed in the new madvise() to prevent restore tokens being written into the middle of pre-used shadow stacks. It is ideal to prevent restore tokens being added at arbitrary locations, so the check was to make sure the shadow stack had never been written to. 3. It stood out from the rest of the madvise flags, as more of direct action than a hint at future desired behavior. So rather than repurpose two existing syscalls (mmap, madvise) that don't quite fit, just implement a new map_shadow_stack syscall to allow userspace to map and setup new shadow stacks in one step. While ucontext is the primary motivator, userspace may have other unforeseen reasons to setup its own shadow stacks using the WRSS instruction. Towards this provide a flag so that stacks can be optionally setup securely for the common case of ucontext without enabling WRSS. Or potentially have the kernel set up the shadow stack in some new way. The following example demonstrates how to create a new shadow stack with map_shadow_stack: void *shstk = map_shadow_stack(addr, stack_size, SHADOW_STACK_SET_TOKEN); Signed-off-by: Rick Edgecombe Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: Mike Rapoport (IBM) Tested-by: Pengfei Xu Tested-by: John Allen Tested-by: Kees Cook Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230613001108.3040476-35-rick.p.edgecombe%40intel.com

cachestat: implement cachestat syscall

2023-06-09T23:25:16+00:00

There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate, when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along, which can be quite slow as well. Some use cases where this information could come in handy: * Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the index. * Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues diagnostic. * Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and batching when there is not. * Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to the du tool for disk usage. More information about these use cases could be found in the following thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/ This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86 architecture. NAME cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file. SYNOPSIS #include struct cachestat_range { __u64 off; __u64 len; }; struct cachestat { __u64 nr_cache; __u64 nr_dirty; __u64 nr_writeback; __u64 nr_evicted; __u64 nr_recently_evicted; }; int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range, struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by `off` and `len`. An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that there is memory pressure on the system. These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is given by the `cstat` argument. The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If `len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` == 0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file. The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified). Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported. Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it but before it returns to the application, the returned values may contain stale information. RETURN VALUE On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address. EINVAL invalid flags. EBADF invalid file descriptor. EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file [nphamcs@gmail.com: replace rounddown logic with the existing helper] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230504022044.3675469-1-nphamcs@gmail.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230503013608.2431726-3-nphamcs@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Nhat Pham Acked-by: Johannes Weiner Cc: Brian Foster Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Cc: Michael Kerrisk Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

x86: Remove toolchain check for X32 ABI capability

2022-03-15T09:32:48+00:00

Commit 0bf6276392e9 ("x32: Warn and disable rather than error if binutils too old") added a small test in arch/x86/Makefile because binutils 2.22 or newer is needed to properly support elf32-x86-64. This check is no longer necessary, as the minimum supported version of binutils is 2.23, which is enforced at configuration time with scripts/min-tool-version.sh. Remove this check and replace all uses of CONFIG_X86_X32 with CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI, as two symbols are no longer necessary.
