arm64: mm: check for upper PAGE_SHIFT bits in pfn_valid()
commit 5ad356eabc47d26a92140a0c4b20eba471c10de3 upstream.
ARM64's pfn_valid() shifts away the upper PAGE_SHIFT bits of the input
before seeing if the PFN is valid. This leads to false positives when
some of the upper bits are set, but the lower bits match a valid PFN.
For example, the following userspace code looks up a bogus entry in
/proc/kpageflags:
int pagemap = open("/proc/self/pagemap", O_RDONLY);
int pageflags = open("/proc/kpageflags", O_RDONLY);
uint64_t pfn, val;
lseek64(pagemap, [...], SEEK_SET);
read(pagemap, &pfn, sizeof(pfn));
if (pfn & (1UL << 63)) { /* valid PFN */
pfn &= ((1UL << 55) - 1); /* clear flag bits */
pfn |= (1UL << 55);
lseek64(pageflags, pfn * sizeof(uint64_t), SEEK_SET);
read(pageflags, &val, sizeof(val));
}
On ARM64 this causes the userspace process to crash with SIGSEGV rather
than reading (1 << KPF_NOPAGE). kpageflags_read() treats the offset as
valid, and stable_page_flags() will try to access an address between the
user and kernel address ranges.
