dm_op hypercalls might come from userspace and pass memory addresses as
parameters. The memory addresses typically correspond to buffers
allocated in userspace to hold extra hypercall parameters.

On ARM, when CONFIG_ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN is enabled, they might not be
accessible by Xen, as a result ioreq hypercalls might fail. See the
existing comment in arch/arm64/xen/hypercall.S regarding privcmd_call
for reference.

For privcmd_call, Linux calls uaccess_ttbr0_enable before issuing the
hypercall thanks to commit 9cf09d68b89a. We need to do the same for
dm_op. This resolves the problem.

Today the EFI runtime functions are setup in architecture specific
code (x86 and arm), with the functions themselves living in drivers/xen
as they are not architecture dependent.

As the setup is exactly the same for arm and x86 move the setup to
drivers/xen, too. This at once removes the need to make the single
functions global visible.

<title>arm64: kpti: Fix the interaction between ASID switching and software PAN</title>
<updated>2018-01-16T17:37:48+00:00</updated>

<id>6b88a32c7af68895134872cdec3b6bfdb532d94e</id>
<content type='text'>
With ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN enabled, the exception entry code checks the
active ASID to decide whether user access was enabled (non-zero ASID)
when the exception was taken. On return from exception, if user access
was previously disabled, it re-instates TTBR0_EL1 from the per-thread
saved value (updated in switch_mm() or efi_set_pgd()).

Commit 7655abb95386 ("arm64: mm: Move ASID from TTBR0 to TTBR1") makes a
TTBR0_EL1 + ASID switching non-atomic. Subsequently, commit 27a921e75711
("arm64: mm: Fix and re-enable ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN") changes the
__uaccess_ttbr0_disable() function and asm macro to first write the
reserved TTBR0_EL1 followed by the ASID=0 update in TTBR1_EL1. If an
exception occurs between these two, the exception return code will
re-instate a valid TTBR0_EL1. Similar scenario can happen in
cpu_switch_mm() between setting the reserved TTBR0_EL1 and the ASID
update in cpu_do_switch_mm().

This patch reverts the entry.S check for ASID == 0 to TTBR0_EL1 and
disables the interrupts around the TTBR0_EL1 and ASID switching code in
__uaccess_ttbr0_disable(). It also ensures that, when returning from the
EFI runtime services, efi_set_pgd() doesn't leave a non-zero ASID in
TTBR1_EL1 by using uaccess_ttbr0_{enable,disable}.

The accesses to current_thread_info()-&gt;ttbr0 are updated to use
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE.

As a safety measure, __uaccess_ttbr0_enable() always masks out any
existing non-zero ASID TTBR1_EL1 before writing in the new ASID.

Recently a new dm_op[1] hypercall was added to Xen to provide a mechanism
for restricting device emulators (such as QEMU) to a limited set of
hypervisor operations, and being able to audit those operations in the
kernel of the domain in which they run.

This patch adds IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP as gateway for __HYPERVISOR_dm_op.

NOTE: There is no requirement for user-space code to bounce data through
      locked memory buffers (as with IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL) since
      privcmd has enough information to lock the original buffers
      directly.
