arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement sequences

2020-07-02T11:57:17+00:00

When building very large kernels, the logic that emits replacement
sequences for alternatives fails when relative branches are present
in the code that is emitted into the .altinstr_replacement section
and patched in at the original site and fixed up. The reason is that
the linker will insert veneers if relative branches go out of range,
and due to the relative distance of the .altinstr_replacement from
the .text section where its branch targets usually live, veneers
may be emitted at the end of the .altinstr_replacement section, with
the relative branches in the sequence pointed at the veneers instead
of the actual target.

The alternatives patching logic will attempt to fix up the branch to
point to its original target, which will be the veneer in this case,
but given that the patch site is likely to be far away as well, it
will be out of range and so patching will fail. There are other cases
where these veneers are problematic, e.g., when the target of the
branch is in .text while the patch site is in .init.text, in which
case putting the replacement sequence inside .text may not help either.

So let's use subsections to emit the replacement code as closely as
possible to the patch site, to ensure that veneers are only likely to
be emitted if they are required at the patch site as well, in which
case they will be in range for the replacement sequence both before
and after it is transported to the patch site.

This will prevent alternative sequences in non-init code from being
released from memory after boot, but this is tolerable given that the
entire section is only 512 KB on an allyesconfig build (which weighs in
at 500+ MB for the entire Image). Also, note that modules today carry
the replacement sequences in non-init sections as well, and any of
those that target init code will be emitted into init sections after
this change.

This fixes an early crash when booting an allyesconfig kernel on a
system where any of the alternatives sequences containing relative
branches are activated at boot (e.g., ARM64_HAS_PAN on TX2)

efi/libstub/arm64: align PE/COFF sections to segment alignment

2020-04-28T16:36:52+00:00

The arm64 kernel's segment alignment is fixed at 64 KB for any page
size, and relocatable kernels are able to fix up any misalignment of
the kernel image with respect to the 2 MB section alignment that is
mandated by the arm64 boot protocol.

Let's increase the PE/COFF section alignment to the same value, so that
kernels loaded by the UEFI PE/COFF loader are guaranteed to end up at
an address that doesn't require any reallocation to be done if the
kernel is relocatable.

arm64/kernel: Fix range on invalidating dcache for boot page tables

2020-04-28T13:48:03+00:00

Prior to commit 8eb7e28d4c642c31 ("arm64/mm: move runtime pgds to
rodata"), idmap_pgd_dir, tramp_pg_dir, reserved_ttbr0, swapper_pg_dir,
and init_pg_dir were contiguous at the end of the kernel image. The
maintenance at the end of __create_page_tables assumed these were
contiguous, and affected everything from the start of idmap_pg_dir
to the end of init_pg_dir.

That commit moved all but init_pg_dir into the .rodata section, with
other data placed between idmap_pg_dir and init_pg_dir, but did not
update the maintenance. Hence the maintenance is performed on much
more data than necessary (but as the bootloader previously made this
clean to the PoC there is no functional problem).

As we only alter idmap_pg_dir, and init_pg_dir, we only need to perform
maintenance for these. As the other dirs are in .rodata, the bootloader
will have initialised them as expected and cleaned them to the PoC. The
kernel will initialize them as necessary after enabling the MMU.

This patch reworks the maintenance to only cover the idmap_pg_dir and
init_pg_dir to avoid this unnecessary work.

arm64: rename stext to primary_entry

2020-04-28T12:55:16+00:00

For historical reasons, the primary entry routine living somewhere in
the inittext section is called stext(), which is confusing, given that
there is also a section marker called _stext which lives at a fixed
offset in the image (either 64 or 4096 bytes, depending on whether
CONFIG_EFI is enabled)

Let's rename stext to primary_entry(), which is a better description
and reflects the secondary_entry() routine that already exists for
SMP boot.

This is due to an unfortunate combination of several factors.

Building with KASAN results in the compiler generating anonymous
functions to register/unregister global variables against the shadow
memory. These functions are placed in .text.startup/.text.exit, and
given mangled names like _GLOBAL__sub_{I,D}_65535_0_$OTHER_SYMBOL. The
kernel linker script places these in .init.text and .exit.text
respectively, which are both discarded at runtime as part of initmem.

Building with FTRACE_WITH_REGS uses -fpatchable-function-entry=2, which
also instruments KASAN's anonymous functions. When these are discarded
with the rest of initmem, ftrace removes dangling references to these
call sites.

Building without MODULES implicitly disables STRICT_MODULE_RWX, and
causes arm64's patch_map() function to treat any !core_kernel_text()
symbol as something that can be modified in-place. As core_kernel_text()
is only true for .text and .init.text, with the latter depending on
system_state < SYSTEM_RUNNING, we'll treat .exit.text as something that
can be patched in-place. However, .exit.text is mapped read-only.

Hence in this configuration the ftrace init code blows up while trying
to patch one of the functions generated by KASAN.

We could try to filter out the call sites in .exit.text rather than
initializing them, but this would be inconsistent with how we handle
.init.text, and requires hooking into core bits of ftrace. The behaviour
of patch_map() is also inconsistent today, so instead let's clean that
up and have it consistently handle .exit.text.

This patch teaches patch_map() to handle .exit.text at init time,
preventing the boot-time splat above. The flow of patch_map() is
reworked to make the logic clearer and minimize redundant
conditionality.

   - Switch the x86 linker fill byte from x90 (NOP) to 0xcc (INT3), to
     trap jumps into the middle of those padding areas instead of
     sliding execution. (Kees Cook)

   - A thorough cleanup of symbol definitions within x86 assembler code.
     The rather randomly named macros got streamlined around a
     (hopefully) straightforward naming scheme:

        SYM_START(name, linkage, align...)
