kexec: remove unnecessary arch_kexec_kernel_image_load()

2023-04-08T20:45:38+00:00

arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() only calls kexec_image_load_default(), and there are no arch-specific implementations. Remove the unnecessary arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() and make kexec_image_load_default() static. No functional change intended.

x86/kexec: remove unnecessary arch_kexec_kernel_image_load()

2023-04-08T20:45:38+00:00

Patch series "kexec: Remove unnecessary arch hook", v2. There are no arch-specific things in arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(), so remove it and just use the generic version. This patch (of 2): The x86 implementation of arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() is functionally identical to the generic arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(): arch_kexec_kernel_image_load # x86 if (!image->fops || !image->fops->load) return ERR_PTR(-ENOEXEC); return image->fops->load(image, image->kernel_buf, ...) arch_kexec_kernel_image_load # generic kexec_image_load_default if (!image->fops || !image->fops->load) return ERR_PTR(-ENOEXEC); return image->fops->load(image, image->kernel_buf, ...) Remove the x86-specific version and use the generic arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(). No functional change intended.

kexec: introduce sysctl parameters kexec_load_limit_*

2023-02-03T06:50:05+00:00

kexec allows replacing the current kernel with a different one. This is usually a source of concerns for sysadmins that want to harden a system. Linux already provides a way to disable loading new kexec kernel via kexec_load_disabled, but that control is very coard, it is all or nothing and does not make distinction between a panic kexec and a normal kexec. This patch introduces new sysctl parameters, with finer tuning to specify how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded. The sysadmin can set different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot kernels. The value can be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a stricter value. With these new parameters on place, a system with loadpin and verity enabled, using the following kernel parameters: sysctl.kexec_load_limit_reboot=0 sysct.kexec_load_limit_panic=1 can have a good warranty that if initrd tries to load a panic kernel, a malitious user will have small chances to replace that kernel with a different one, even if they can trigger timeouts on the disk where the panic kernel lives.

kexec: factor out kexec_load_permitted

kexec: turn all kexec_mutex acquisitions into trylocks

2022-09-12T04:55:06+00:00

Patch series "kexec, panic: Making crash_kexec() NMI safe", v4. This patch (of 2): Most acquistions of kexec_mutex are done via mutex_trylock() - those were a direct "translation" from: 8c5a1cf0ad3a ("kexec: use a mutex for locking rather than xchg()") there have however been two additions since then that use mutex_lock(): crash_get_memory_size() and crash_shrink_memory(). A later commit will replace said mutex with an atomic variable, and locking operations will become atomic_cmpxchg(). Rather than having those mutex_lock() become while (atomic_cmpxchg(&lock, 0, 1)), turn them into trylocks that can return -EBUSY on acquisition failure. This does halve the printable size of the crash kernel, but that's still neighbouring 2G for 32bit kernels which should be ample enough.

kexec, KEYS: make the code in bzImage64_verify_sig generic

2022-07-15T16:21:16+00:00

commit 278311e417be ("kexec, KEYS: Make use of platform keyring for signature verify") adds platform keyring support on x86 kexec but not arm64. The code in bzImage64_verify_sig uses the keys on the .builtin_trusted_keys, .machine, if configured and enabled, .secondary_trusted_keys, also if configured, and .platform keyrings to verify the signed kernel image as PE file.

kexec: clean up arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig

2022-07-15T16:21:16+00:00

Before commit 105e10e2cf1c ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from functions"), there was already no arch-specific implementation of arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig. With weak attribute dropped by that commit, arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig is completely useless. So clean it up. Note later patches are dependent on this patch so it should be backported to the stable tree as well. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Suggested-by: Eric W.

kexec_file: drop weak attribute from functions

2022-07-15T16:21:16+00:00

As requested (http://lkml.kernel.org/r/87ee0q7b92.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org), this series converts weak functions in kexec to use the #ifdef approach. Quoting the 3e35142ef99fe ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]") changelog: : Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols") : [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that it thought : were unused. This isn't an issue in general, but with kexec_file.c, gcc : is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a separate : .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely" is being : dropped. Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak symbol in : .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against. This patch (of 2); Drop __weak attribute from functions in kexec_file.c: - arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe() - arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() - arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() - arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole() - arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() calls into kexec_image_load_default(), so drop the static attribute for the latter. arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is not overridden by any architecture, so drop the __weak attribute.
