2016-07-08	x86/mm: Enable KASLR for physical mapping memory regions	Thomas Garnier	1	-0/+3
	Add the physical mapping in the list of randomized memory regions. The physical memory mapping holds most allocations from boot and heap allocators. Knowing the base address and physical memory size, an attacker can deduce the PDE virtual address for the vDSO memory page. This attack was demonstrated at CanSecWest 2016, in the following presentation: "Getting Physical: Extreme Abuse of Intel Based Paged Systems": https://github.com/n3k/CansecWest2016_Getting_Physical_Extreme_Abuse_of_Intel_Based_Paging_Systems/blob/master/Presentation/CanSec2016_Presentation.pdf (See second part of the presentation). The exploits used against Linux worked successfully against 4.6+ but fail with KASLR memory enabled: https://github.com/n3k/CansecWest2016_Getting_Physical_Extreme_Abuse_of_Intel_Based_Paging_Systems/tree/master/Demos/Linux/exploits Similar research was done at Google leading to this patch proposal. Variants exists to overwrite /proc or /sys objects ACLs leading to elevation of privileges. These variants were tested against 4.6+. The page offset used by the compressed kernel retains the static value since it is not yet randomized during this boot stage.

2016-06-26	x86/KASLR: Clarify identity map interface	Kees Cook	1	-10/+16
	This extracts the call to prepare_level4() into a top-level function that the user of the pagetable.c interface must call to initialize the new page tables. For clarity and to match the "finalize" function, it has been renamed to initialize_identity_maps(). This function also gains the initialization of mapping_info so we don't have to do it each time in add_identity_map(). Additionally add copyright notice to the top, to make it clear that the bulk of the pagetable.c code was written by Yinghai, and that I just added bugs later. :) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: H.

2016-05-10	x86/KASLR: Initialize mapping_info every time	Kees Cook	1	-11/+5
	As it turns out, mapping_info DOES need to be initialized every time, because pgt_data address could be changed during kernel relocation. So it can not be build time assigned. Without this, page tables were not being corrected updated, which could cause reboots when a physical address beyond 2G was chosen.

2016-05-07	x86/KASLR: Build identity mappings on demand	Kees Cook	1	-0/+135
	Currently KASLR only supports relocation in a small physical range (from 16M to 1G), due to using the initial kernel page table identity mapping. To support ranges above this, we need to have an identity mapping for the desired memory range before we can decompress (and later run) the kernel. 32-bit kernels already have the needed identity mapping. This patch adds identity mappings for the needed memory ranges on 64-bit kernels. This happens in two possible boot paths: If loaded via startup_32(), we need to set up the needed identity map. If loaded from a 64-bit bootloader, the bootloader will have already set up an identity mapping, and we'll start via the compressed kernel's startup_64(). In this case, the bootloader's page tables need to be avoided while selecting the new uncompressed kernel location. If not, the decompressor could overwrite them during decompression. To accomplish this, we could walk the pagetable and find every page that is used, and add them to mem_avoid, but this needs extra code and will require increasing the size of the mem_avoid array. Instead, we can create a new set of page tables for our own identity mapping instead. The pages for the new page table will come from the _pagetable section of the compressed kernel, which means they are already contained by in mem_avoid array. To do this, we reuse the code from the uncompressed kernel's identity mapping routines. The _pgtable will be shared by both the 32-bit and 64-bit paths to reduce init_size, as now the compressed kernel's _rodata to _end will contribute to init_size. To handle the possible mappings, we need to increase the existing page table buffer size: When booting via startup_64(), we need to cover the old VO, params, cmdline and uncompressed kernel. In an extreme case we could have them all beyond the 512G boundary, which needs (2+2)4 pages with 2M mappings. And we'll need 2 for first 2M for VGA RAM. One more is needed for level4. This gets us to 19 pages total. When booting via startup_32(), KASLR could move the uncompressed kernel above 4G, so we need to create extra identity mappings, which should only need (2+2) pages at most when it is beyond the 512G boundary. So 19 pages is sufficient for this case as well. The resulting BOOT_PGT_SIZE defines use the "_SIZE" suffix on their names to maintain logical consistency with the existing BOOT_HEAP_SIZE and BOOT_STACK_SIZE defines. This patch is based on earlier patches from Yinghai Lu and Baoquan He.
