<title>kexec: support purgatories with .text.hot sections</title>

<id>8652d44f466ad5772e7d1756e9457046189b0dfc</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "kexec: Fix kexec_file_load for llvm16 with PGO", v7.

When upreving llvm I realised that kexec stopped working on my test
platform.

The reason seems to be that due to PGO there are multiple .text sections
on the purgatory, and kexec does not supports that.


This patch (of 4):

Clang16 links the purgatory text in two sections when PGO is in use:

  [ 1] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000040
       00000000000011a1  0000000000000000  AX       0     0     16
  [ 2] .rela.text        RELA             0000000000000000  00003498
       0000000000000648  0000000000000018   I      24     1     8
  ...
  [17] .text.hot.        PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00003220
       000000000000020b  0000000000000000  AX       0     0     1
  [18] .rela.text.hot.   RELA             0000000000000000  00004428
       0000000000000078  0000000000000018   I      24    17     8

And both of them have their range [sh_addr ... sh_addr+sh_size] on the
area pointed by `e_entry`.

This causes that image-&gt;start is calculated twice, once for .text and
another time for .text.hot. The second calculation leaves image-&gt;start
in a random location.

Because of this, the system crashes immediately after:

arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() only calls kexec_image_load_default(), and

<title>kexec: introduce sysctl parameters kexec_load_limit_*</title>

kexec allows replacing the current kernel with a different one.  This is
usually a source of concerns for sysadmins that want to harden a system.

Linux already provides a way to disable loading new kexec kernel via
kexec_load_disabled, but that control is very coard, it is all or nothing
and does not make distinction between a panic kexec and a normal kexec.

This patch introduces new sysctl parameters, with finer tuning to specify
how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded.  The sysadmin can set
different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot kernels.  The value can
be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a stricter value.

With these new parameters on place, a system with loadpin and verity
enabled, using the following kernel parameters:
sysctl.kexec_load_limit_reboot=0 sysct.kexec_load_limit_panic=1 can have a
good warranty that if initrd tries to load a panic kernel, a malitious
user will have small chances to replace that kernel with a different one,
even if they can trigger timeouts on the disk where the panic kernel
lives.

Both syscalls (kexec and kexec_file) do the same check, let's factor it
out.

We already have struct range, so just use it.

<title>panic, kexec: make __crash_kexec() NMI safe</title>
<updated>2022-09-12T04:55:06+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=05c6257433b7212f07a7e53479a8ab038fc1666a'/>
<id>05c6257433b7212f07a7e53479a8ab038fc1666a</id>
<content type='text'>
Attempting to get a crash dump out of a debug PREEMPT_RT kernel via an NMI
panic() doesn't work.  The cause of that lies in the PREEMPT_RT definition
of mutex_trylock():

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES) &amp;&amp; WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_task()))
		return 0;

This prevents an nmi_panic() from executing the main body of
__crash_kexec() which does the actual kexec into the kdump kernel.  The
warning and return are explained by:

  6ce47fd961fa ("rtmutex: Warn if trylock is called from hard/softirq context")
  [...]
  The reasons for this are:

      1) There is a potential deadlock in the slowpath

      2) Another cpu which blocks on the rtmutex will boost the task
	 which allegedly locked the rtmutex, but that cannot work
	 because the hard/softirq context borrows the task context.

Furthermore, grabbing the lock isn't NMI safe, so do away with kexec_mutex
and replace it with an atomic variable.  This is somewhat overzealous as
*some* callsites could keep using a mutex (e.g.  the sysfs-facing ones
like crash_shrink_memory()), but this has the benefit of involving a
single unified lock and preventing any future NMI-related surprises.

Tested by triggering NMI panics via:

  $ echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_unrecovered_nmi
  $ echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/unknown_nmi_panic
  $ echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/panic

  $ ipmitool power diag

<title>kexec, KEYS: make the code in bzImage64_verify_sig generic</title>

commit 278311e417be ("kexec, KEYS: Make use of platform keyring for
signature verify") adds platform keyring support on x86 kexec but not
arm64.

The code in bzImage64_verify_sig uses the keys on the
.builtin_trusted_keys, .machine, if configured and enabled,
.secondary_trusted_keys, also if configured, and .platform keyrings
to verify the signed kernel image as PE file.
