From 5bd5a452662bc37c54fb6828db1a3faf87e6511c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Castet Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 22:31:26 +0100 Subject: x86: Add NX protection for kernel data This patch expands functionality of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to set main (static) kernel data area as NX. The following steps are taken to achieve this: 1. Linker script is adjusted so .text always starts and ends on a page bound 2. Linker script is adjusted so .rodata always start and end on a page boundary 3. NX is set for all pages from _etext through _end in mark_rodata_ro. 4. free_init_pages() sets released memory NX in arch/x86/mm/init.c 5. bios rom is set to x when pcibios is used. The results of patch application may be observed in the diff of kernel page table dumps: pcibios: -- data_nx_pt_before.txt 2009-10-13 07:48:59.000000000 -0400 ++ data_nx_pt_after.txt 2009-10-13 07:26:46.000000000 -0400 0x00000000-0xc0000000 3G pmd ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- -0xc0000000-0xc0100000 1M RW GLB x pte +0xc0000000-0xc00a0000 640K RW GLB NX pte +0xc00a0000-0xc0100000 384K RW GLB x pte -0xc0100000-0xc03d7000 2908K ro GLB x pte +0xc0100000-0xc0318000 2144K ro GLB x pte +0xc0318000-0xc03d7000 764K ro GLB NX pte -0xc03d7000-0xc0600000 2212K RW GLB x pte +0xc03d7000-0xc0600000 2212K RW GLB NX pte 0xc0600000-0xf7a00000 884M RW PSE GLB NX pmd 0xf7a00000-0xf7bfe000 2040K RW GLB NX pte 0xf7bfe000-0xf7c00000 8K pte No pcibios: -- data_nx_pt_before.txt 2009-10-13 07:48:59.000000000 -0400 ++ data_nx_pt_after.txt 2009-10-13 07:26:46.000000000 -0400 0x00000000-0xc0000000 3G pmd ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- -0xc0000000-0xc0100000 1M RW GLB x pte +0xc0000000-0xc0100000 1M RW GLB NX pte -0xc0100000-0xc03d7000 2908K ro GLB x pte +0xc0100000-0xc0318000 2144K ro GLB x pte +0xc0318000-0xc03d7000 764K ro GLB NX pte -0xc03d7000-0xc0600000 2212K RW GLB x pte +0xc03d7000-0xc0600000 2212K RW GLB NX pte 0xc0600000-0xf7a00000 884M RW PSE GLB NX pmd 0xf7a00000-0xf7bfe000 2040K RW GLB NX pte 0xf7bfe000-0xf7c00000 8K pte The patch has been originally developed for Linux 2.6.34-rc2 x86 by Siarhei Liakh and Xuxian Jiang . -v1: initial patch for 2.6.30 -v2: patch for 2.6.31-rc7 -v3: moved all code into arch/x86, adjusted credits -v4: fixed ifdef, removed credits from CREDITS -v5: fixed an address calculation bug in mark_nxdata_nx() -v6: added acked-by and PT dump diff to commit log -v7: minor adjustments for -tip -v8: rework with the merge of "Set first MB as RW+NX" Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang Signed-off-by: Matthieu CASTET Cc: Arjan van de Ven Cc: James Morris Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Stephen Rothwell Cc: Dave Jones Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Linus Torvalds LKML-Reference: <4CE2F82E.60601@free.fr> [ minor cleanliness edits ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/pci') diff --git a/arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c b/arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c index 2492d165096a..a5f7d0d63de0 100644 --- a/arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c +++ b/arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include /* BIOS32 signature: "_32_" */ #define BIOS32_SIGNATURE (('_' << 0) + ('3' << 8) + ('2' << 16) + ('_' << 24)) @@ -25,6 +26,27 @@ #define PCIBIOS_HW_TYPE1_SPEC 0x10 #define PCIBIOS_HW_TYPE2_SPEC 0x20 +int pcibios_enabled; + +/* According to the BIOS specification at: + * http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/specs/bios21.pdf, we could + * restrict the x zone to some pages and make it ro.
