ARM: probes: avoid adding kprobes to sensitive kernel-entry/exit code

2017-12-17T22:14:21+00:00

Avoid adding kprobes to any of the kernel entry/exit or startup
assembly code, or code in the identity-mapped region.  This code does
not conform to the standard C conventions, which means that the
expectations of the kprobes code is not forfilled.

Placing kprobes at some of these locations results in the kernel trying
to return to userspace addresses while retaining the CPU in kernel mode.

arm/syscalls: Optimize address limit check

2017-09-17T17:45:33+00:00

Disable the generic address limit check in favor of an architecture
specific optimized implementation. The generic implementation using
pending work flags did not work well with ARM and alignment faults.

The address limit is checked on each syscall return path to user-mode
path as well as the irq user-mode return function. If the address limit
was changed, a function is called to report data corruption (stopping
the kernel or process based on configuration).

The address limit check has to be done before any pending work because
they can reset the address limit and the process is killed using a
SIGKILL signal. For example the lkdtm address limit check does not work
because the signal to kill the process will reset the user-mode address
limit.

Revert "arm/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return"

2017-09-17T17:45:33+00:00

This reverts commit 73ac5d6a2b6ac3ae8d1e1818f3e9946f97489bc9.

The work pending loop can call set_fs after addr_limit_user_check
removed the _TIF_FSCHECK flag. This may happen at anytime based on how
ARM handles alignment exceptions. It leads to an infinite loop condition.

After discussion, it has been agreed that the generic approach is not
tailored to the ARM architecture and any fix might not be complete. This
patch will be replaced by an architecture specific implementation. The
work flag approach will be kept for other architectures.

ARM: avoid saving and restoring registers unnecessarily

2017-08-02T13:15:04+00:00

Avoid repeatedly saving and restoring registers around the calls to
trace_hardirqs_on() and context_tracking_user_exit().  With the
previous changes, we no longer need to preserve "lr" across these
calls, and if we re-load r0-r3 later, we can avoid preserving these
regsiters too.

ARM: move PC value into r9

2017-08-02T13:15:04+00:00

Move the saved PC value into r9, thereby moving it into a caller-saved
register for functions that we may call during the entry to a syscall.

ARM: use aliases for registers in entry-common

2017-08-02T13:15:04+00:00

Use aliases for the saved (and preserved) PSR and PC values so that we
can control which registers are used.
