arm64: kasan: instrument user memory access API

2016-06-21T14:37:18+00:00

The upstream commit 1771c6e1a567ea0ba2cccc0a4ffe68a1419fd8ef
("x86/kasan: instrument user memory access API") added KASAN instrument to
x86 user memory access API, so added such instrument to ARM64 too.

Define __copy_to/from_user in C in order to add kasan_check_read/write call,
rename assembly implementation to __arch_copy_to/from_user.

Tested by test_kasan module.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6.  There are some relatively
  intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
  virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.

  Summary:

   - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
     mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones.  The ARM architecture
     requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
     that's not always possible on live page tables

   - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
     to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
     of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
     anywhere in physical RAM

   - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
     randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
     provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
     arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)

   - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
     (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
     but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
     dependencies)

   - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
     allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
     LDTR/STTR instructions.  Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
     perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
     The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
     privileged accesses via the UAO bit

   - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)

   - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
     run-time code patching)

   - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time

   - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
     incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g.  weird
     big.LITTLE configurations)

   - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
     sigcontext information (restored pstate information)

   - ACPI parking protocol implementation

   - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default

   - VDSO code marked as read-only

   - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

   - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

   - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC

   - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings

   - Code clean-ups"

arm64: lse: deal with clobbered IP registers after branch via PLT

2016-02-26T18:35:02+00:00

The LSE atomics implementation uses runtime patching to patch in calls
to out of line non-LSE atomics implementations on cores that lack hardware
support for LSE. To avoid paying the overhead cost of a function call even
if no call ends up being made, the bl instruction is kept invisible to the
compiler, and the out of line implementations preserve all registers, not
just the ones that they are required to preserve as per the AAPCS64.

However, commit fd045f6cd98e ("arm64: add support for module PLTs") added
support for routing branch instructions via veneers if the branch target
offset exceeds the range of the ordinary relative branch instructions.
Since this deals with jump and call instructions that are exposed to ELF
relocations, the PLT code uses x16 to hold the address of the branch target
when it performs an indirect branch-to-register, something which is
explicitly allowed by the AAPCS64 (and ordinary compiler generated code
does not expect register x16 or x17 to retain their values across a bl
instruction).

Since the lse runtime patched bl instructions don't adhere to the AAPCS64,
they don't deal with this clobbering of registers x16 and x17. So add them
to the clobber list of the asm() statements that perform the call
instructions, and drop x16 and x17 from the list of registers that are
callee saved in the out of line non-LSE implementations.

In addition, since we have given these functions two scratch registers,
they no longer need to stack/unstack temp registers.

arm64: kernel: Don't toggle PAN on systems with UAO

2016-02-18T17:27:05+00:00

If a CPU supports both Privileged Access Never (PAN) and User Access
Override (UAO), we don't need to disable/re-enable PAN round all
copy_to_user() like calls.

UAO alternatives cause these calls to use the 'unprivileged' load/store
instructions, which are overridden to be the privileged kind when
fs==KERNEL_DS.

This patch changes the copy_to_user() calls to have their PAN toggling
depend on a new composite 'feature' ARM64_ALT_PAN_NOT_UAO.

If both features are detected, PAN will be enabled, but the copy_to_user()
alternatives will not be applied. This means PAN will be enabled all the
time for these functions. If only PAN is detected, the toggling will be
enabled as normal.

This will save the time taken to disable/re-enable PAN, and allow us to
catch copy_to_user() accesses that occur with fs==KERNEL_DS.

Futex and swp-emulation code continue to hang their PAN toggling code on
ARM64_HAS_PAN.

arm64: kernel: Add support for User Access Override

2016-02-18T17:27:04+00:00

'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the
unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in
the normal way.

This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr*
instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables
UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory.

This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the
page tables, instead of testing addr

arm64: lib: patch in prfm for copy_page if requested

2016-02-16T15:12:33+00:00

On ThunderX T88 pass 1 and pass 2, there is no hardware prefetching so
we need to patch in explicit software prefetching instructions

Prefetching improves this code by 60% over the original code and 2x
over the code without prefetching for the affected hardware using the
benchmark code at https://github.com/apinski-cavium/copy_page_benchmark

arm64: lib: improve copy_page to deal with 128 bytes at a time

2016-02-16T15:12:33+00:00

We want to avoid lots of different copy_page implementations, settling
for something that is "good enough" everywhere and hopefully easy to
understand and maintain whilst we're at it.

This patch reworks our copy_page implementation based on discussions
with Cavium on the list and benchmarking on Cortex-A processors so that:

  - The loop is unrolled to copy 128 bytes per iteration

  - The reads are offset so that we read from the next 128-byte block
    in the same iteration that we store the previous block

  - Explicit prefetch instructions are removed for now, since they hurt
    performance on CPUs with hardware prefetching

  - The loop exit condition is calculated at the start of the loop

arm64/efi: Make strnlen() available to the EFI namespace

Changes introduced in the upstream version of libfdt pulled in by commit
91feabc2e224 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream commit b06e55c88b9b") use
the strnlen() function, which isn't currently available to the EFI name-
space. Add it to the EFI namespace to avoid a linker error.

arm64: add KASAN support

2015-10-12T16:46:36+00:00

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer
(see Documentation/kasan.txt).

1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. There was no
big enough hole for this, so virtual addresses for shadow were
stolen from vmalloc area.

At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just
one physical page (kasan_zero_page). Later, this page reused
as readonly zero shadow for some memory that KASan currently
don't track (vmalloc).
After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are
allocated and mapped.

Functions like memset/memmove/memcpy do a lot of memory accesses.
If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important
to catch this. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since
these functions are written in assembly.
KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants.
Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions
in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases
with '__' prefix in name, so we could call non-instrumented variant
if needed.
Some files built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c).
Original mem* function replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants
to disable memory access checks for such files.
