      kvm: arm64: Disable compiler instrumentation for hypervisor code · a6cdf1c0
      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      With the recent rewrite of the arm64 KVM hypervisor code in C, enabling
      certain options like KASAN would allow the compiler to generate memory
      accesses or function calls to addresses not mapped at EL2. This patch
      disables the compiler instrumentation on the arm64 hypervisor code for
      gcov-based profiling (GCOV_KERNEL), undefined behaviour sanity checker
      (UBSAN) and kernel address sanitizer (KASAN).

      arm64: KVM: Turn kvm_ksym_ref into a NOP on VHE · 2510ffe1
      Marc Zyngier authored
      
      
      When running with VHE, there is no need to translate kernel pointers
      to the EL2 memory space, since we're already there (and we have a much
      saner memory map to start with).
      
      Unfortunately, kvm_ksym_ref is getting in the way, and the first
      call into the "hypervisor" section is going to end up in fireworks,
      since we're now branching into nowhereland. Meh.
      
      A potential solution is to test if VHE is engaged or not, and only
      perform the translation in the negative case. With this in place,
      VHE is able to run again.

      Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
        that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
      
        There's a background article at LWN.net:
      
            https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
      
        The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
        user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
        fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
        and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
        protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
        cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
        virtual memory range.
      
        This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
        amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
        allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
        executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
        below).
      
        This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
        that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
        if a user-space application calls:
      
              mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
      
        or
      
              mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
      
        (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
        this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
        memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
        Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
        and unwritable.
      
        So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
        PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
        PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
        advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
        ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
        cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
      
        We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
        mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
        feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
      
        There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
        call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
        pull request.
      
        Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
        (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
        (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
        overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
        any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
        flip the default"

        The separate EFI page tables feature got delayed twice already,
        because it's an intrusive change and we didn't feel confident about
        it - third time's the charm we hope!"

      Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
        (ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
        It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
      
        The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
        of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
        degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces.  These bugs are
        hard to detect at the source code level.  Such bugs result in
        incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
        rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
      
        The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
        user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
        hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/.  The tool's (very
        simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
        shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
        infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
        upstream).  Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
      
        Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
        resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
        the instruction stream and interprets it.  (Right now objtool supports
        the x86-64 architecture.)
      
        From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
      
         "The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
          objtool which runs at compile time.  It has a "check" subcommand
          which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
          metadata.  It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
          assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
      
          Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
          add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
      
          For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
          and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
      
          It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
          .altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
          alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
          instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
          for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
      
        When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
        tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
        warnings in compiler warning format:
      
          warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
          warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
          warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
          warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
      
        ... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
        All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
        of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free.  Most of
        them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
        also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
        such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
      
        There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
      
         - To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
           that they can be used for optimized live patching.
      
         - To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
           CFI stack frames at build time.  CFI debuginfo is notoriously
           unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
           checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
      
        The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
        so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
        or CFI debuginfo angle"

      x86/kallsyms: fix GOLD link failure with new relative kallsyms table format · 142b9e6c
      Ard Biesheuvel authored
      Commit 2213e9a6
      
       ("kallsyms: add support for relative offsets in
      kallsyms address table") changed the default kallsyms symbol table
      format to use relative references rather than absolute addresses.
      
      This reduces the size of the kallsyms symbol table by 50% on 64-bit
      architectures, and further reduces the size of the relocation tables
      used by relocatable kernels.  Since the memory footprint of the static
      kernel image is always much smaller than 4 GB, these relative references
      are assumed to be representable in 32 bits, even when the native word
      size is 64 bits.
      
      On 64-bit architectures, this obviously only works if the distance
      between each relative reference and the chosen anchor point is
      representable in 32 bits, and so the table generation code in
      scripts/kallsyms.c scans the table for the lowest value that is covered
      by the kernel text, and selects it as the anchor point.
      
      However, when using the GOLD linker rather than the default BFD linker
      to build the x86_64 kernel, the symbol phys_offset_64, which is the
      result of arithmetic defined in the linker script, is emitted as a 'T'
      rather than an 'A' type symbol, resulting in scripts/kallsyms.c to
      mistake it for a suitable anchor point, even though it is far away from
      the actual kernel image in the virtual address space.  This results in
      out-of-range warnings from scripts/kallsyms.c and a broken build.
      
      So let's align with the BFD linker, and emit the phys_offset_[32|64]
      symbols as absolute symbols explicitly.  Note that the out of range
      issue does not exist on 32-bit x86, but this patch changes both symbols
      for symmetry.
