mm/tlb: Remove tlb_remove_table() non-concurrent condition

2018-12-16T22:08:52+00:00

commit a6f572084fbee8b30f91465f4a085d7a90901c57 upstream.

Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also
check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to
this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations).

If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can
re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the
call_rcu_sched().

mm: move tlb_table_flush to tlb_flush_mmu_free

2018-12-16T22:08:52+00:00

commit db7ddef301128dad394f1c0f77027f86ee9a4edb upstream.

There is no need to call this from tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly, it logically
belongs with tlb_flush_mmu_free.  This makes future fixes simpler.

[ This was originally done to allow code consolidation for the
  mmu_notifier fix, but it also ends up helping simplify the
  HAVE_RCU_TABLE_INVALIDATE fix.    - Linus ]

x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings

2018-10-03T03:10:02+00:00

commit 42e4089c7890725fcd329999252dc489b72f2921 upstream.

For L1TF PROT_NONE mappings are protected by inverting the PFN in the page
table entry. This sets the high bits in the CPU's address space, thus
making sure to point to not point an unmapped entry to valid cached memory.

Some server system BIOSes put the MMIO mappings high up in the physical
address space. If such an high mapping was mapped to unprivileged users
they could attack low memory by setting such a mapping to PROT_NONE. This
could happen through a special device driver which is not access
protected. Normal /dev/mem is of course access protected.

To avoid this forbid PROT_NONE mappings or mprotect for high MMIO mappings.

Valid page mappings are allowed because the system is then unsafe anyways.

It's not expected that users commonly use PROT_NONE on MMIO. But to
minimize any impact this is only enforced if the mapping actually refers to
a high MMIO address (defined as the MAX_PA-1 bit being set), and also skip
the check for root.

For mmaps this is straight forward and can be handled in vm_insert_pfn and
in remap_pfn_range().

For mprotect it's a bit trickier. At the point where the actual PTEs are
accessed a lot of state has been changed and it would be difficult to undo
on an error. Since this is a uncommon case use a separate early page talk
walk pass for MMIO PROT_NONE mappings that checks for this condition
early. For non MMIO and non PROT_NONE there are no changes.

mm: fix cache mode tracking in vm_insert_mixed()

2018-10-03T03:10:01+00:00

commit 87744ab3832b83ba71b931f86f9cfdb000d07da5 upstream.

vm_insert_mixed() unlike vm_insert_pfn_prot() and vmf_insert_pfn_pmd(),
fails to check the pgprot_t it uses for the mapping against the one
recorded in the memtype tracking tree.  Add the missing call to
track_pfn_insert() to preclude cases where incompatible aliased mappings
are established for a given physical address range.

mm: Add vm_insert_pfn_prot()

2018-10-03T03:10:01+00:00

commit 1745cbc5d0dee0749a6bc0ea8e872c5db0074061 upstream.

The x86 vvar vma contains pages with differing cacheability
flags.  x86 currently implements this by manually inserting all
the ptes using (io_)remap_pfn_range when the vma is set up.

x86 wants to move to using .fault with VM_FAULT_NOPAGE to set up
the mappings as needed.  The correct API to use to insert a pfn
in .fault is vm_insert_pfn(), but vm_insert_pfn() can't override the
vma's cache mode, and the HPET page in particular needs to be
uncached despite the fact that the rest of the VMA is cached.

Add vm_insert_pfn_prot() to support varying cacheability within
the same non-COW VMA in a more sane manner.

x86 could alternatively use multiple VMAs, but that's messy,
would break CRIU, and would create unnecessary VMAs that would
waste memory.

mm: drop support of non-linear mapping from unmap/zap codepath

2018-10-03T03:09:50+00:00

commit 8a5f14a23177061ec11daeaa3d09d0765d785c47 upstream.

We have remap_file_pages(2) emulation in -mm tree for few release cycles
and we plan to have it mainline in v3.20. This patchset removes rest of
VM_NONLINEAR infrastructure.

Patches 1-8 take care about generic code. They are pretty
straight-forward and can be applied without other of patches.

Rest patches removes pte_file()-related stuff from architecture-specific
code. It usually frees up one bit in non-present pte. I've tried to reuse
that bit for swap offset, where I was able to figure out how to do that.

For obvious reason I cannot test all that arch-specific code and would
like to see acks from maintainers.

In total, remap_file_pages(2) required about 1.4K lines of not-so-trivial
kernel code. That's too much for functionality nobody uses.

mm: hide a #warning for COMPILE_TEST

2018-06-16T21:22:17+00:00

commit af27d9403f5b80685b79c88425086edccecaf711 upstream.

We get a warning about some slow configurations in randconfig kernels:

  mm/memory.c:83:2: error: #warning Unfortunate NUMA and NUMA Balancing config, growing page-frame for last_cpupid. [-Werror=cpp]

The warning is reasonable by itself, but gets in the way of randconfig
build testing, so I'm hiding it whenever CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is set.

The warning was added in 2013 in commit 75980e97dacc ("mm: fold
page->_last_nid into page->flags where possible").

ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm

2018-01-01T20:52:11+00:00

commit 84d77d3f06e7e8dea057d10e8ec77ad71f721be3 upstream.

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.
