kaiser: do not set _PAGE_NX on pgd_none

2018-01-05T14:46:32+00:00

native_pgd_clear() uses native_set_pgd(), so native_set_pgd() must
avoid setting the _PAGE_NX bit on an otherwise pgd_none() entry:
usually that just generated a warning on exit, but sometimes
more mysterious and damaging failures (our production machines
could not complete booting).

The original fix to this just avoided adding _PAGE_NX to
an empty entry; but eventually more problems surfaced with kexec,
and EFI mapping expected to be a problem too.  So now instead
change native_set_pgd() to update shadow only if _PAGE_USER:

A few places (kernel/machine_kexec_64.c, platform/efi/efi_64.c for sure)
use set_pgd() to set up a temporary internal virtual address space, with
physical pages remapped at what Kaiser regards as userspace addresses:
Kaiser then assumes a shadow pgd follows, which it will try to corrupt.

This appears to be responsible for the recent kexec and kdump failures;
though it's unclear how those did not manifest as a problem before.
Ah, the shadow pgd will only be assumed to "follow" if the requested
pgd is on an even-numbered page: so I suppose it was going wrong 50%
of the time all along.

What we need is a flag to set_pgd(), to tell it we're dealing with
userspace.  Er, isn't that what the pgd's _PAGE_USER bit is saying?
Add a test for that.  But we cannot do the same for pgd_clear()
(which may be called to clear corrupted entries - set aside the
question of "corrupt in which pgd?" until later), so there just
rely on pgd_clear() not being called in the problematic cases -
with a WARN_ON_ONCE() which should fire half the time if it is.

But this is getting too big for an inline function: move it into
arch/x86/mm/kaiser.c (which then demands a boot/compressed mod);
and de-void and de-space native_get_shadow/normal_pgd() while here.

Also make an unnecessary change to KASLR's init_trampoline(): it was
using set_pgd() to assign a pgd-value to a global variable (not in a
pg directory page), which was rather scary given Kaiser's previous
set_pgd() implementation: not a problem now, but too scary to leave
as was, it could easily blow up if we have to change set_pgd() again.

x86/boot/KASLR: Fix kexec crash due to 'virt_addr' calculation bug

2017-07-05T12:40:29+00:00

commit 8eabf42ae5237e6b699aeac687b5b629e3537c8d upstream.

Kernel text KASLR is separated into physical address and virtual
address randomization. And for virtual address randomization, we
only randomiza to get an offset between 16M and KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
So the initial value of 'virt_addr' should be LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR,
but not the original kernel loading address 'output'.

The bug will cause kernel boot failure if kernel is loaded at a different
position than the address, 16M, which is decided at compiled time.
Kexec/kdump is such practical case.

To fix it, just assign LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR to virt_addr as initial
value.

x86/boot: Use CROSS_COMPILE prefix for readelf

commit 3780578761921f094179c6289072a74b2228c602 upstream.

The boot code Makefile contains a straight 'readelf' invocation. This
causes build warnings in cross compile environments, when there is no
unprefixed readelf accessible via $PATH.

Add the missing $(CROSS_COMPILE) prefix.

x86/boot: Fix BSS corruption/overwrite bug in early x86 kernel startup

2017-05-20T12:28:36+00:00

commit d594aa0277e541bb997aef0bc0a55172d8138340 upstream.

The minimum size for a new stack (512 bytes) setup for arch/x86/boot components
when the bootloader does not setup/provide a stack for the early boot components
is not "enough".

The setup code executing as part of early kernel startup code, uses the stack
beyond 512 bytes and accidentally overwrites and corrupts part of the BSS
section. This is exposed mostly in the early video setup code, where
it was corrupting BSS variables like force_x, force_y, which in-turn affected
kernel parameters such as screen_info (screen_info.orig_video_cols) and
later caused an exception/panic in console_init().

Most recent boot loaders setup the stack for early boot components, so this
stack overwriting into BSS section issue has not been exposed.

x86/build: Build compressed x86 kernels as PIE when !CONFIG_RELOCATABLE as well

2016-11-21T10:05:28+00:00

Since the bootloader may load the compressed x86 kernel at any address,
it should always be built as PIE, not just when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

Otherwise, linker in binutils 2.27 will optimize GOT load into the
absolute address when building the compressed x86 kernel as a non-PIE
executable.

x86/boot: Fail the boot if !M486 and CPUID is missing

2016-11-21T08:04:32+00:00

Linux will have all kinds of sporadic problems on systems that don't
have the CPUID instruction unless CONFIG_M486=y.  In particular,
sync_core() will explode.

I believe that these kernels had a better chance of working before
commit 05fb3c199bb0 ("x86/boot: Initialize FPU and X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS
even if we don't have CPUID").  That commit inadvertently fixed a
serious bug: we used to fail to detect the FPU if CPUID wasn't
present.  Because we also used to forget to set X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, we
end up with no cpu feature bits set at all.  This meant that
alternative patching didn't do anything and, if paravirt was disabled,
we could plausibly finish the entire boot process without calling
sync_core().

Rather than trying to work around these issues, just have the kernel
fail loudly if it's running on a CPUID-less 486, doesn't have CPUID,
and doesn't have CONFIG_M486 set.

x86/efi: Allow invocation of arbitrary boot services

2016-09-09T15:08:57+00:00

We currently allow invocation of 8 boot services with efi_call_early().
Not included are LocateHandleBuffer and LocateProtocol in particular.
For graphics output or to retrieve PCI ROMs and Apple device properties,
we're thus forced to use the LocateHandle + AllocatePool + LocateHandle
combo, which is cumbersome and needs more code.

The ARM folks allow invocation of the full set of boot services but are
restricted to our 8 boot services in functions shared across arches.

Thus, rather than adding just LocateHandleBuffer and LocateProtocol to
struct efi_config, let's rework efi_call_early() to allow invocation of
arbitrary boot services by selecting the 64 bit vs 32 bit code path in
the macro itself.

When compiling for 32 bit or for 64 bit without mixed mode, the unused
code path is optimized away and the binary code is the same as before.
But on 64 bit with mixed mode enabled, this commit adds one compare
instruction to each invocation of a boot service and, depending on the
code path selected, two jump instructions. (Most of the time gcc
arranges the jumps in the 32 bit code path.) The result is a minuscule
performance penalty and the binary code becomes slightly larger and more
difficult to read when disassembled. This isn't a hot path, so these
drawbacks are arguably outweighed by the attainable simplification of
the C code. We have some overhead anyway for thunking or conversion
between calling conventions.

The 8 boot services can consequently be removed from struct efi_config.

No functional change intended (for now).

Example -- invocation of free_pool before (64 bit code path):
0x2d4      movq  %ds:efi_early, %rdx          ; efi_early
0x2db      movq  %ss:arg_0-0x20(%rsp), %rsi
0x2e0      xorl  %eax, %eax
0x2e2      movq  %ds:0x28(%rdx), %rdi         ; efi_early->free_pool
0x2e6      callq *%ds:0x58(%rdx)              ; efi_early->call()

Example -- invocation of free_pool after (64 / 32 bit mixed code path):
0x0dc      movq  %ds:efi_early, %rax          ; efi_early
0x0e3      cmpb  $0, %ds:0x28(%rax)           ; !efi_early->is64 ?
0x0e7      movq  %ds:0x20(%rax), %rdx         ; efi_early->call()
0x0eb      movq  %ds:0x10(%rax), %rax         ; efi_early->boot_services
0x0ef      je    $0x150
0x0f1      movq  %ds:0x48(%rax), %rdi         ; free_pool (64 bit)
0x0f5      xorl  %eax, %eax
0x0f7      callq *%rdx
...
0x150      movl  %ds:0x30(%rax), %edi         ; free_pool (32 bit)
0x153      jmp   $0x0f5
