      arm64: kernel: Don't toggle PAN on systems with UAO · 70544196
      James Morse 提交于
      If a CPU supports both Privileged Access Never (PAN) and User Access
      Override (UAO), we don't need to disable/re-enable PAN round all
      copy_to_user() like calls.
      
      UAO alternatives cause these calls to use the 'unprivileged' load/store
      instructions, which are overridden to be the privileged kind when
      fs==KERNEL_DS.
      
      This patch changes the copy_to_user() calls to have their PAN toggling
      depend on a new composite 'feature' ARM64_ALT_PAN_NOT_UAO.
      
      If both features are detected, PAN will be enabled, but the copy_to_user()
      alternatives will not be applied. This means PAN will be enabled all the
      time for these functions. If only PAN is detected, the toggling will be
      enabled as normal.
      
      This will save the time taken to disable/re-enable PAN, and allow us to
      catch copy_to_user() accesses that occur with fs==KERNEL_DS.
      
      Futex and swp-emulation code continue to hang their PAN toggling code on
      ARM64_HAS_PAN.

      arm64: kernel: Add support for User Access Override · 57f4959b
      James Morse 提交于
      'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the
      unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in
      the normal way.
      
      This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr*
      instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables
      UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory.
      
      This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the
      page tables, instead of testing addr<USER_DS, then using the kernel's
      read/write permissions.
