2019-01-21arm64: Remove asm/memblock.hWill Deacon1-0/+1
The arm64 asm/memblock.h header exists only to provide a function prototype for arm64_memblock_init(), which is called only from setup_arch(). Move the declaration into mmu.h, where it can live alongside other init functions such as paging_init() and bootmem_init() without the need for its own special header file.

2019-01-16arm64: kpti: Update arm64_kernel_use_ng_mappings() when forced onJames Morse1-1/+4
Since commit b89d82ef01b3 ("arm64: kpti: Avoid rewriting early page tables when KASLR is enabled"), a kernel built with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE can decide early whether to use non-global mappings by checking the kaslr_offset(). A kernel built without CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, instead checks the cpufeature static-key. This leaves a gap where CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE was enabled, no kaslr seed was provided, but kpti was forced on using the cmdline option. When the decision is made late, kpti_install_ng_mappings() will re-write the page tables, but arm64_kernel_use_ng_mappings()'s value does not change as it only tests the cpufeature static-key if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is disabled. This function influences PROT_DEFAULT via PTE_MAYBE_NG, and causes pgattr_change_is_safe() to catch nG->G transitions when the unchanged PROT_DEFAULT is used as part of PAGE_KERNEL_RO: [ 1.942255] alternatives: patching kernel code [ 1.998288] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 2.000693] kernel BUG at arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c:165!

2019-01-10arm64: kpti: Avoid rewriting early page tables when KASLR is enabledWill Deacon1-0/+41
A side effect of commit c55191e96caa ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well") is that the linear map is created with page granularity, which means that transitioning the early page table from global to non-global mappings when enabling kpti can take a significant amount of time during boot. Given that most CPU implementations do not require kpti, this mainly impacts KASLR builds where kpti is forcefully enabled. However, in these situations we know early on that non-global mappings are required and can avoid the use of global mappings from the beginning. The only gotcha is Cavium erratum #27456, which we must detect based on the MIDR value of the boot CPU.

2018-09-25arm64/mm: Separate boot-time page tables from swapper_pg_dirJun Yao1-0/+3
Since the address of swapper_pg_dir is fixed for a given kernel image, it is an attractive target for manipulation via an arbitrary write. To mitigate this we'd like to make it read-only by moving it into the rodata section. We require that swapper_pg_dir is at a fixed offset from tramp_pg_dir and reserved_ttbr0, so these will also need to move into rodata. However, swapper_pg_dir is allocated along with some transient page tables used for boot which we do not want to move into rodata. As a step towards this, this patch separates the boot-time page tables into a new init_pg_dir, and reduces swapper_pg_dir to the single page it needs to be. This allows us to retain the relationship between swapper_pg_dir, tramp_pg_dir, and swapper_pg_dir, while cleanly separating these from the boot-time page tables. The init_pg_dir holds all of the pgd/pud/pmd/pte levels needed during boot, and all of these levels will be freed when we switch to the swapper_pg_dir, which is initialized by the existing code in paging_init(). Since we start off on the init_pg_dir, we no longer need to allocate a transient page table in paging_init() in order to ensure that swapper_pg_dir isn't live while we initialize it. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

2018-01-14arm64: sdei: Add trampoline code for remapping the kernelJames Morse1-1/+2
When CONFIG_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 is set the SDEI entry point and the rest of the kernel may be unmapped when we take an event. If this may be the case, use an entry trampoline that can switch to the kernel page tables. We can't use the provided PSTATE to determine whether to switch page tables as we may have interrupted the kernel's entry trampoline, (or a normal-priority event that interrupted the kernel's entry trampoline). Instead test for a user ASID in ttbr1_el1. Save a value in regs->addr_limit to indicate whether we need to restore the original ASID when returning from this event. This value is only used by do_page_fault(), which we don't call with the SDEI regs. Signed-off-by: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

2017-08-22arm64: introduce separated bits for mm_context_t flagsYury Norov1-0/+2
Currently mm->context.flags field uses thread_info flags which is not the best idea for many reasons. For example, mm_context_t doesn't need most of thread_info flags. And it would be difficult to add new mm-related flag if needed because it may easily interfere with TIF ones. To deal with it, the new MMCF_AARCH32 flag is introduced for mm_context_t->flags, where MMCF prefix stands for mm_context_t flags. Also, mm_context_t flag doesn't require atomicity and ordering of the access, so using set/clear_bit() is replaced with simple masks.

2017-03-23arm64: alternatives: apply boot time fixups via the linear mappingArd Biesheuvel1-0/+1
One important rule of thumb when desiging a secure software system is that memory should never be writable and executable at the same time. We mostly adhere to this rule in the kernel, except at boot time, when regions may be mapped RWX until after we are done applying alternatives or making other one-off changes. For the alternative patching, we can improve the situation by applying the fixups via the linear mapping, which is never mapped with executable permissions. So map the linear alias of .text with RW- permissions initially, and remove the write permissions as soon as alternative patching has completed.

2015-10-07arm64: mm: rewrite ASID allocator and MM context-switching codeWill Deacon1-7/+8
Our current switch_mm implementation suffers from a number of problems: (1) The ASID allocator relies on IPIs to synchronise the CPUs on a rollover event (2) Because of (1), we cannot allocate ASIDs with interrupts disabled and therefore make use of a TIF_SWITCH_MM flag to postpone the actual switch to finish_arch_post_lock_switch (3) We run context switch with a reserved (invalid) TTBR0 value, even though the ASID and pgd are updated atomically (4) We take a global spinlock (cpu_asid_lock) during context-switch (5) We use h/w broadcast TLB operations when they are not required (e.g. in flush_context) This patch addresses these problems by rewriting the ASID algorithm to match the bitmap-based arch/arm/ implementation more closely.

Currently, the FDT blob needs to be in the same 512 MB region as the kernel, so that it can be mapped into the kernel virtual memory space very early on using a minimal set of statically allocated translation tables. Now that we have early fixmap support, we can relax this restriction, by moving the permanent FDT mapping to the fixmap region instead. This way, the FDT blob may be anywhere in memory. This also moves the vetting of the FDT to mmu.c, since the early init code in head.S does not handle mapping of the FDT anymore. At the same time, fix up some comments in head.S that have gone stale.

The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot.

The virtual memory layout is described in Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is 2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration. PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no run-time code patching at this stage). On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are 512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping. Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an additional level of translation tables. The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.
