2018-11-08arm64: memblock: don't permit memblock resizing until linear mapping is upArd Biesheuvel1-0/+2
Bhupesh reports that having numerous memblock reservations at early boot may result in the following crash: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff80003ffe0000 ... Call trace: __memcpy+0x110/0x180 memblock_add_range+0x134/0x2e8 memblock_reserve+0x70/0xb8 memblock_alloc_base_nid+0x6c/0x88 __memblock_alloc_base+0x3c/0x4c memblock_alloc_base+0x28/0x4c memblock_alloc+0x2c/0x38 early_pgtable_alloc+0x20/0xb0 paging_init+0x28/0x7f8 This is caused by the fact that we permit memblock resizing before the linear mapping is up, and so the memblock_reserved() array is moved into memory that is not mapped yet. So let's ensure that this crash can no longer occur, by deferring to call to memblock_allow_resize() to after the linear mapping has been created.

2018-10-10arm64: mm: Use __pa_symbol() for set_swapper_pgd()James Morse1-1/+1
commit 2330b7ca78350efcb ("arm64/mm: use fixmap to modify swapper_pg_dir") modifies the swapper_pg_dir via the fixmap as the kernel page tables have been moved to a read-only part of the kernel mapping. Using __pa() to setup the fixmap causes CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL to fire, as this function is used on the kernel-image swapper address. The in_swapper_pgdir() test before each call of this function means set_swapper_pgd() will only ever be called when pgdp points somewhere in the kernel-image mapping of swapper_pd_dir. Use __pa_symbol().

2018-09-25arm64/mm: use fixmap to modify swapper_pg_dirJun Yao1-2/+24
Once swapper_pg_dir is in the rodata section, it will not be possible to modify it directly, but we will need to modify it in some cases. To enable this, we can use the fixmap when deliberately modifying swapper_pg_dir. As the pgd is only transiently mapped, this provides some resilience against illicit modification of the pgd, e.g. for Kernel Space Mirror Attack (KSMA).

2018-09-25arm64/mm: Separate boot-time page tables from swapper_pg_dirJun Yao1-25/+5
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.

In both cases we'll warn for non-present entries, as the VM_WARN_ON() only checks the entry is not a table entry.

2018-07-06arm64: Implement page table free interfacesChintan Pandya1-4/+44
arm64 requires break-before-make. Originally, before setting up new pmd/pud entry for huge mapping, in few cases, the modifying pmd/pud entry was still valid and pointing to next level page table as we only clear off leaf PTE in unmap leg. a) This was resulting into stale entry in TLBs (as few TLBs also cache intermediate mapping for performance reasons) b) Also, modifying pmd/pud was the only reference to next level page table and it was getting lost without freeing it. So, page leaks were happening. Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() to enforce BBM and also free the leaking page tables. Implementation requires, 1) Clearing off the current pud/pmd entry 2) Invalidation of TLB 3) Freeing of the un-used next level page tables Reviewed-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Chintan Pandya <cpandya@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2018-07-04ioremap: Update pgtable free interfaces with addrChintan Pandya1-2/+2
The following kernel panic was observed on ARM64 platform due to a stale TLB entry. 1. ioremap with 4K size, a valid pte page table is set. 2. iounmap it, its pte entry is set to 0. 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, update its pmd entry with a new value. 4. CPU may hit an exception because the old pmd entry is still in TLB, which leads to a kernel panic. Commit b6bdb7517c3d ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page table") has addressed this panic by falling to pte mappings in the above case on ARM64. To support pmd mappings in all cases, TLB purge needs to be performed in this case on ARM64. Add a new arg, 'addr', to pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() so that TLB purge can be added later in seprate patches.

2018-05-24arm64: Make sure permission updates happen for pmd/pudLaura Abbott1-6/+10
Commit 15122ee2c515 ("arm64: Enforce BBM for huge IO/VMAP mappings") disallowed block mappings for ioremap since that code does not honor break-before-make. The same APIs are also used for permission updating though and the extra checks prevent the permission updates from happening, even though this should be permitted. This results in read-only permissions not being fully applied. Visibly, this can occasionaly be seen as a failure on the built in rodata test when the test data ends up in a section or as an odd RW gap on the page table dump. Fix this by using pgattr_change_is_safe instead of p*d_present for determining if the change is permitted.

2018-03-23mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page tableToshi Kani1-0/+10
On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP set, ioremap() may create pud/pmd mappings. A kernel panic was observed on arm64 systems with Cortex-A75 in the following steps as described by Hanjun Guo. 1. ioremap a 4K size, valid page table will build, 2. iounmap it, pte0 will set to 0; 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, pgd/pmd is unchanged, then set the a new value for pmd; 4. pte0 is leaked; 5. CPU may meet exception because the old pmd is still in TLB, which will lead to kernel panic. This panic is not reproducible on x86. INVLPG, called from iounmap, purges all levels of entries associated with purged address on x86. x86 still has memory leak. The patch changes the ioremap path to free unmapped page table(s) since doing so in the unmap path has the following issues: - The iounmap() path is shared with vunmap(). Since vmap() only supports pte mappings, making vunmap() to free a pte page is an overhead for regular vmap users as they do not need a pte page freed up. - Checking if all entries in a pte page are cleared in the unmap path is racy, and serializing this check is expensive. - The unmap path calls free_vmap_area_noflush() to do lazy TLB purges. Clearing a pud/pmd entry before the lazy TLB purges needs extra TLB purge. Add two interfaces, pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page(), which clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up a page for the lower level entries. This patch implements their stub functions on x86 and arm64, which work as workaround.

2018-02-16arm64: mm: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page tablesWill Deacon1-134/+148
In many cases, page tables can be accessed concurrently by either another CPU (due to things like fast gup) or by the hardware page table walker itself, which may set access/dirty bits. In such cases, it is important to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page table entries so that entries cannot be torn, merged or subject to apparent loss of coherence due to compiler transformations. Whilst there are some scenarios where this cannot happen (e.g. pinned kernel mappings for the linear region), the overhead of using READ_ONCE /WRITE_ONCE everywhere is minimal and makes the code an awful lot easier to reason about. This patch consistently uses these macros in the arch code, as well as explicitly namespacing pointers to page table entries from the entries themselves by using adopting a 'p' suffix for the former (as is sometimes used elsewhere in the kernel source).

2018-01-14arm64: Extend early page table code to allow for larger kernelsSteve Capper1-1/+2
Currently the early assembler page table code assumes that precisely 1xpgd, 1xpud, 1xpmd are sufficient to represent the early kernel text mappings. Unfortunately this is rarely the case when running with a 16KB granule, and we also run into limits with 4KB granule when building much larger kernels. This patch re-writes the early page table logic to compute indices of mappings for each level of page table, and if multiple indices are required, the next-level page table is scaled up accordingly. Also the required size of the swapper_pg_dir is computed at link time to cover the mapping [KIMAGE_ADDR + VOFFSET, _end]. When KASLR is enabled, an extra page is set aside for each level that may require extra entries at runtime.

2017-12-22arm64: allow ID map to be extended to 52 bitsKristina Martsenko1-0/+1
Currently, when using VA_BITS < 48, if the ID map text happens to be placed in physical memory above VA_BITS, we increase the VA size (up to 48) and create a new table level, in order to map in the ID map text. This is okay because the system always supports 48 bits of VA. This patch extends the code such that if the system supports 52 bits of VA, and the ID map text is placed that high up, then we increase the VA size accordingly, up to 52. One difference from the current implementation is that so far the condition of VA_BITS < 48 has meant that the top level table is always "full", with the maximum number of entries, and an extra table level is always needed. Now, when VA_BITS = 48 (and using 64k pages), the top level table is not full, and we simply need to increase the number of entries in it, instead of creating a new table level.

2017-12-22arm64: don't open code page table entry creationKristina Martsenko1-5/+9
Instead of open coding the generation of page table entries, use the macros/functions that exist for this - pfn_p*d and p*d_populate. Most code in the kernel already uses these macros, this patch tries to fix up the few places that don't. This is useful for the next patch in this series, which needs to change the page table entry logic, and it's better to have that logic in one place. The KVM extended ID map is special, since we're creating a level above CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS and the required function isn't available. Leave it as is and add a comment to explain it. (The normal kernel ID map code doesn't need this change because its page tables are created in assembly (__create_page_tables)).

The protection is implemented by unmapping the relevant segments in crash dump kernel memory, rather than making it read-only as other archs do, to prevent coherency issues due to potential cache aliasing (with mismatched attributes). Page-level mappings are consistently used here so that we can change the attributes of segments in page granularity as well as shrink the region also in page granularity through /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size, putting the freed memory back to buddy system.

2017-03-23arm64: mm: set the contiguous bit for kernel mappings where appropriateArd Biesheuvel1-43/+97
This is the third attempt at enabling the use of contiguous hints for kernel mappings. The most recent attempt 0bfc445dec9d was reverted after it turned out that updating permission attributes on live contiguous ranges may result in TLB conflicts. So this time, the contiguous hint is not set for .rodata or for the linear alias of .text/.rodata, both of which are mapped read-write initially, and remapped read-only at a later stage. (Note that the latter region could also be unmapped and remapped again with updated permission attributes, given that the region, while live, is only mapped for the convenience of the hibernation code, but that also means the TLB footprint is negligible anyway, so why bother) This enables the following contiguous range sizes for the virtual mapping of the kernel image, and for the linear mapping: granule size | cont PTE | cont PMD | -------------+------------+------------+ 4 KB | 64 KB | 32 MB | 16 KB | 2 MB | 1 GB* | 64 KB | 2 MB | 16 GB* | * Only when built for 3 or more levels of translation. This is due to the fact that a 2 level configuration only consists of PGDs and PTEs, and the added complexity of dealing with folded PMDs is not justified considering that 16 GB contiguous ranges are likely to be ignored by the hardware (and 16k/2 levels is a niche configuration) Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Tested-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

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.

This reverts commit 0bfc445dec9dd8130d22c9f4476eed7598524129. When we change the permissions of regions mapped using contiguous entries, the architecture requires us to follow a Break-Before-Make strategy, breaking *all* associated entries before we can change any of the following properties from the entries: - presence of the contiguous bit - output address - attributes - permissiones Failure to do so can result in a number of problems (e.g. TLB conflict aborts and/or erroneous results from TLB lookups). See ARM DDI 0487A.k_iss10775, "Misprogramming of the Contiguous bit", page D4-1762. We do not take this into account when altering the permissions of kernel segments in mark_rodata_ro(), where we change the permissions of live contiguous entires one-by-one, leaving them transiently inconsistent. This has been observed to result in failures on some fast model configurations. Unfortunately, we cannot follow Break-Before-Make here as we'd have to unmap kernel text and data used to perform the sequence. For the timebeing, revert commit 0bfc445dec9dd813 so as to avoid issues resulting from this misuse of the contiguous bit.
