2018-12-11x86/dma/amd-gart: Stop resizing dma_debug_entry poolRobin Murphy1-4/+1
dma-debug is now capable of adding new entries to its pool on-demand if the initial preallocation was insufficient, so the IOMMU_LEAK logic no longer needs to explicitly change the pool size. This does lose it the ability to save a couple of megabytes of RAM by reducing the pool size below its default, but it seems unlikely that that is a realistic concern these days (or indeed that anyone is actively debugging AGP drivers' DMA usage any more). Getting rid of dma_debug_resize_entries() will make room for further streamlining in the dma-debug code itself. Removing the call reveals quite a lot of cruft which has been useless for nearly a decade since commit 19c1a6f5764d ("x86 gart: reimplement IOMMU_LEAK feature by using DMA_API_DEBUG"), including the entire 'iommu=leak' parameter, which controlled nothing except whether dma_debug_resize_entries() was called or not.

2018-11-06x86/mm: Move LDT remap out of KASLR region on 5-level pagingKirill A. Shutemov1-16/+18
On 5-level paging the LDT remap area is placed in the middle of the KASLR randomization region and it can overlap with the direct mapping, the vmalloc or the vmap area. The LDT mapping is per mm, so it cannot be moved into the P4D page table next to the CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for 5-level paging. The 4 PGD slot gap just before the direct mapping is reserved for hypervisors, so it cannot be used. Move the direct mapping one slot deeper and use the resulting gap for the LDT remap area. The resulting layout is the same for 4 and 5 level paging. [ tglx: Massaged changelog ] Fixes: f55f0501cbf6 ("x86/pti: Put the LDT in its own PGD if PTI is on") Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

This plugin was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense against at least two classes of flaws: - Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too). - Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but provides the coverage for stacks. The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).

2018-10-06x86/mm/doc: Enhance the x86-64 virtual memory layout descriptionsIngo Molnar1-51/+120
After the cleanups from Baoquan He, make it even more readable: - Remove the 'bits' area size column: it's pretty pointless and was even wrong for some of the entries. Given that MB, GB, TB, PT are 10, 20, 30 and 40 bits, a "8 TB" size description makes it obvious that it's 43 bits. - Introduce an "offset" column: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- start addr | offset | end addr | size | VM area description -----------------|------------|------------------|---------|-------------------- ... ffff880000000000 | -120 TB | ffffc7ffffffffff | 64 TB | direct mapping of all physical memory (page_offset_base), this is what limits max physical memory supported. The -120 TB notation makes it obvious where this particular virtual memory region starts: 120 TB down from the top of the 64-bit virtual memory space. Especially the layout of the kernel mappings is a *lot* more obvious when written this way, plus it's much easier to compare it with the size column and understand/check/validate and modify the kernel's layout in the future. - Mark the part from where the 47-bit and 56-bit kernel layouts are 100% identical, this starts at the -512 GB offset and the EFI region. - Re-shuffle the size desciptions to be continous blocks of sizes, instead of the often mixed size. I.e. write "0.5 TB" instead of "512 GB" if we are still in the TB-granular region of the map. - Make the 47-bit and 56-bit descriptions use the *exact* same layout and wording, and only differ where there's a material difference. This makes it easy to compare the two tables side by side by switching between two terminal tabs. - Plus enhance a lot of other stylistic/typographical details: make the tables explicitly tabular, add headers, enhance certain entries, etc. etc. Note that there are some apparent errors in the tables as well, but I'll fix them in a separate patch to make it easier to review/validate.

2018-09-10Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad1-16/+0
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

2018-09-04x86/entry: Add STACKLEAK erasing the kernel stack at the end of syscallsAlexander Popov1-0/+2
The STACKLEAK feature (initially developed by PaX Team) has the following benefits: 1. Reduces the information that can be revealed through kernel stack leak bugs. The idea of erasing the thread stack at the end of syscalls is similar to CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and memzero_explicit() in kernel crypto, which all comply with FDP_RIP.2 (Full Residual Information Protection) of the Common Criteria standard. 2. Blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks (e.g. CVE-2017-17712, CVE-2010-2963). That kind of bugs should be killed by improving C compilers in future, which might take a long time. This commit introduces the code filling the used part of the kernel stack with a poison value before returning to userspace. Full STACKLEAK feature also contains the gcc plugin which comes in a separate commit. The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at: https://grsecurity.net/ https://pax.grsecurity.net/ This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code.

2018-07-20x86/tsc: Redefine notsc to behave as tsc=unstablePavel Tatashin1-3/+1
Currently, the notsc kernel parameter disables the use of the TSC by sched_clock(). However, this parameter does not prevent the kernel from accessing tsc in other places. The only rationale to boot with notsc is to avoid timing discrepancies on multi-socket systems where TSC are not properly synchronized, and thus exclude TSC from being used for time keeping. But that prevents using TSC as sched_clock() as well, which is not necessary as the core sched_clock() implementation can handle non synchronized TSC based sched clocks just fine. However, there is another method to solve the above problem: booting with tsc=unstable parameter. This parameter allows sched_clock() to use TSC and just excludes it from timekeeping. So there is no real reason to keep notsc, but for compatibility reasons the parameter has to stay. Make it behave like 'tsc=unstable' instead.

2018-07-06x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capabilityDan Williams1-0/+4
The current NUMA emulation capabilities for splitting System RAM by a fixed size or by a set number of nodes may result in some nodes being larger than others. The implementation prioritizes establishing a minimum usable memory size over satisfying the requested number of NUMA nodes. Introduce a uniform split capability that evenly partitions each physical NUMA node into N emulated nodes. For example numa=fake=3U creates 6 emulated nodes total on a system that has 2 physical nodes. This capability is useful for debugging and evaluating platform memory-side-cache capabilities as described by the ACPI HMAT (see 5.2.27.5 Memory Side Cache Information Structure in ACPI 6.2a) Compare numa=fake=6 that results in only 5 nodes being created against numa=fake=3U which takes the 2 physical nodes and evenly divides them. numa=fake=6 available: 5 nodes (0-4) node 0 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 0 size: 2648 MB node 0 free: 2443 MB node 1 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 1 size: 2672 MB node 1 free: 2442 MB node 2 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 2 size: 5291 MB node 2 free: 5278 MB node 3 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 3 size: 2677 MB node 3 free: 2665 MB node 4 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 4 size: 2676 MB node 4 free: 2663 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 0: 10 20 10 20 20 1: 20 10 20 10 10 2: 10 20 10 20 20 3: 20 10 20 10 10 4: 20 10 20 10 10 numa=fake=3U available: 6 nodes (0-5) node 0 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 0 size: 2900 MB node 0 free: 2637 MB node 1 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 1 size: 3023 MB node 1 free: 3012 MB node 2 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 node 2 size: 2015 MB node 2 free: 2004 MB node 3 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 3 size: 2704 MB node 3 free: 2522 MB node 4 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 4 size: 2709 MB node 4 free: 2698 MB node 5 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 node 5 size: 2612 MB node 5 free: 2601 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 0: 10 10 10 20 20 20 1: 10 10 10 20 20 20 2: 10 10 10 20 20 20 3: 20 20 20 10 10 10 4: 20 20 20 10 10 10 5: 20 20 20 10 10 10 Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@gmail.com> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/153089328617.27680.14930758266174305832.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2018-01-05x86/kaslr: Fix the vaddr_end messThomas Gleixner1-0/+6
vaddr_end for KASLR is only documented in the KASLR code itself and is adjusted depending on config options. So it's not surprising that a change of the memory layout causes KASLR to have the wrong vaddr_end. This can map arbitrary stuff into other areas causing hard to understand problems. Remove the whole ifdef magic and define the start of the cpu_entry_area to be the end of the KASLR vaddr range. Add documentation to that effect.

2018-01-05x86/mm: Set MODULES_END to 0xffffffffff000000Andrey Ryabinin1-4/+1
Since f06bdd4001c2 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size") kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) could be not aligned to a page boundary. So passing page unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() have two possible effects: 1) It may leave one page hole in supposed to be populated area. After commit 21506525fb8d ("x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area") that hole happens to be in the shadow covering fixmap area and leads to crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffbffffe8ee04 RIP: 0010:check_memory_region+0x5c/0x190 Call Trace: <NMI> memcpy+0x1f/0x50 ghes_copy_tofrom_phys+0xab/0x180 ghes_read_estatus+0xfb/0x280 ghes_notify_nmi+0x2b2/0x410 nmi_handle+0x115/0x2c0 default_do_nmi+0x57/0x110 do_nmi+0xf8/0x150 end_repeat_nmi+0x1a/0x1e Note, the crash likely disappeared after commit 92a0f81d8957, which changed kasan_populate_zero_shadow() call the way it was before commit 21506525fb8d. 2) Attempt to load module near MODULES_END will fail, because __vmalloc_node_range() called from kasan_module_alloc() will hit the WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in the vmap_pte_range() and bail out with error. To fix this we need to make kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) page aligned which means that MODULES_END should be 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned. The whole point of commit f06bdd4001c2 was to move MODULES_END down if NR_CPUS is big, so the cpu_entry_area takes a lot of space. But since 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap") the cpu_entry_area is no longer in fixmap, so we could just set MODULES_END to a fixed 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address.

2017-12-23x86/pti: Put the LDT in its own PGD if PTI is onAndy Lutomirski1-1/+2
With PTI enabled, the LDT must be mapped in the usermode tables somewhere. The LDT is per process, i.e. per mm. An earlier approach mapped the LDT on context switch into a fixmap area, but that's a big overhead and exhausted the fixmap space when NR_CPUS got big. Take advantage of the fact that there is an address space hole which provides a completely unused pgd. Use this pgd to manage per-mm LDT mappings. This has a down side: the LDT isn't (currently) randomized, and an attack that can write the LDT is instant root due to call gates (thanks, AMD, for leaving call gates in AMD64 but designing them wrong so they're only useful for exploits). This can be mitigated by making the LDT read-only or randomizing the mapping, either of which is strightforward on top of this patch. This will significantly slow down LDT users, but that shouldn't matter for important workloads -- the LDT is only used by DOSEMU(2), Wine, and very old libc implementations.

We are going to support boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging. For KASAN it means we cannot have different KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for different paging modes: the constant is passed to gcc to generate code and cannot be changed at runtime. This patch changes KASAN code to use 0xdffffc0000000000 as shadow offset for both 4- and 5-level paging. For 5-level paging it means that shadow memory region is not aligned to PGD boundary anymore and we have to handle unaligned parts of the region properly. In addition, we have to exclude paravirt code from KASAN instrumentation as we now use set_pgd() before KASAN is fully ready.

2017-04-04x86/mm: Define virtual memory map for 5-level pagingKirill A. Shutemov1-3/+30
The first part of memory map (up to %esp fixup) simply scales existing map for 4-level paging by factor of 9 -- number of bits addressed by the additional page table level.

2017-03-16x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section sizeThomas Garnier1-1/+4
This patch aligns MODULES_END to the beginning of the fixmap section. It optimizes the space available for both sections. The address is pre-computed based on the number of pages required by the fixmap section. It will allow GDT remapping in the fixmap section. The current MODULES_END static address does not provide enough space for the kernel to support a large number of processors.

2016-10-25x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dumpJosh Poimboeuf1-4/+0
For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack values: ... [registers] Stack: ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0 ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: ... This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed anymore. It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses. Linus says: "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having used them in the last ten+ years. Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above harder." This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the 'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.
