      x86/mm: Avoid premature success when changing page attributes · 405e1133
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      set_memory_nx() (and set_memory_x()) currently differ in behavior from
      all other set_memory_*() functions when encountering a virtual address
      space hole within the kernel address range: They stop processing at the
      hole, but nevertheless report success (making the caller believe the
      operation was carried out on the entire range). While observed to be a
      problem - triggering the CONFIG_DEBUG_WX warning - only with out of
      tree code, I suspect (but didn't check) that on x86-64 the
      CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC logic in free_init_pages() would, when called
      from free_initmem(), have the same effect on the set_memory_nx() called
      from mark_rodata_ro().
      
      This unexpected behavior is a result of change_page_attr_set_clr()
      special casing changes to only the NX bit, in that it passes "false" as
      the "checkalias" argument to __change_page_attr_set_clr(). Since this
      flag becomes the "primary" argument of both __change_page_attr() and
      __cpa_process_fault(), the latter would so far return success without
      adjusting cpa->numpages. Success to the higher level callers, however,
      means that whatever cpa->numpages currently holds is the count of
      successfully processed pages. The cases when __change_page_attr() calls
      __cpa_process_fault(), otoh, don't generally mean the entire range got
      processed (as can be seen from one of the two success return paths in
      __cpa_process_fault() already adjusting ->numpages).

      This removes the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option and makes it always enabled.
      
      This simplifies the code and also makes it clearer that read-only mapped
      memory is just as fundamental a security feature in kernel-space as it is

      Sai Praneeth 提交于
      Since EFI page tables can be treated as kernel page tables they should
      be global. All the other page mapping functions in pageattr.c set the
      _PAGE_GLOBAL bit and we want to avoid inconsistencies when we map a page
      in the EFI code paths, for example when that page is split in
      __split_large_page(), etc. It also makes it easier to validate that the
      EFI region mappings have the correct attributes because there are fewer
      differences compared with regular kernel mappings.

      x86/mm/pat: Avoid truncation when converting cpa->numpages to address · 74256377
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      There are a couple of nasty truncation bugs lurking in the pageattr
      code that can be triggered when mapping EFI regions, e.g. when we pass
      a cpa->pgd pointer. Because cpa->numpages is a 32-bit value, shifting
      left by PAGE_SHIFT will truncate the resultant address to 32-bits.
      
      Viorel-Cătălin managed to trigger this bug on his Dell machine that
      provides a ~5GB EFI region which requires 1236992 pages to be mapped.
      When calling populate_pud() the end of the region gets calculated
      incorrectly in the following buggy expression,
      
        end = start + (cpa->numpages << PAGE_SHIFT);
      
      And only 188416 pages are mapped. Next, populate_pud() gets invoked
      for a second time because of the loop in __change_page_attr_set_clr(),
      only this time no pages get mapped because shifting the remaining
      number of pages (1048576) by PAGE_SHIFT is zero. At which point the
      loop in __change_page_attr_set_clr() spins forever because we fail to
      map progress.
      
      Hitting this bug depends very much on the virtual address we pick to
      map the large region at and how many pages we map on the initial run
      through the loop. This explains why this issue was only recently hit
      with the introduction of commit
      
        a5caa209 ("x86/efi: Fix boot crash by mapping EFI memmap
         entries bottom-up at runtime, instead of top-down")
      
      It's interesting to note that safe uses of cpa->numpages do exist in
      the pageattr code. If instead of shifting ->numpages we multiply by
      PAGE_SIZE, no truncation occurs because PAGE_SIZE is a UL value, and
      so the result is unsigned long.
      
      To avoid surprises when users try to convert very large cpa->numpages
      values to addresses, change the data type from 'int' to 'unsigned
      long', thereby making it suitable for shifting by PAGE_SHIFT without
      any type casting.
      
      The alternative would be to make liberal use of casting, but that is
      far more likely to cause problems in the future when someone adds more
      code and fails to cast properly; this bug was difficult enough to
      track down in the first place.

      x86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn only contains page frame numbers · edc3b912
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      The x86 pageattr code is confused about the data that is stored
      in cpa->pfn, sometimes it's treated as a page frame number,
      sometimes it's treated as an unshifted physical address, and in
      one place it's treated as a pte.
      
      The result of this is that the mapping functions do not map the
      intended physical address.
      
      This isn't a problem in practice because most of the addresses
      we're mapping in the EFI code paths are already mapped in
      'trampoline_pgd' and so the pageattr mapping functions don't
      actually do anything in this case. But when we move to using a
      separate page table for the EFI runtime this will be an issue.

      x86/mm/pat: Wrap pat_enabled into a function API · cb32edf6
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      We use pat_enabled in x86-specific code to see if PAT is enabled
      or not but we're granting full access to it even though readers
      do not need to set it. If, for instance, we granted access to it
      to modules later they then could override the variable
      setting... no bueno.
      
      This renames pat_enabled to a new static variable __pat_enabled.
      Folks are redirected to use pat_enabled() now.
      
      Code that sets this can only be internal to pat.c. Apart from
      the early kernel parameter "nopat" to disable PAT, we also have
      a few cases that disable it later and make use of a helper
      pat_disable(). It is wrapped under an ifdef but since that code
      cannot run unless PAT was enabled its not required to wrap it
      with ifdefs, unwrap that. Likewise, since "nopat" doesn't really
      change non-PAT systems just remove that ifdef as well.
      
      Although we could add and use an early_param_off(), these
      helpers don't use __read_mostly but we want to keep
      __read_mostly for __pat_enabled as this is a hot path -- upon
      boot, for instance, a simple guest may see ~4k accesses to
      pat_enabled(). Since __read_mostly early boot params are not
      that common we don't add a helper for them just yet.

      x86/mm: Add ioremap_uc() helper to map memory uncacheable (not UC-) · e4b6be33
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      ioremap_nocache() currently uses UC- by default. Our goal is to
      eventually make UC the default. Linux maps UC- to PCD=1, PWT=0
      page attributes on non-PAT systems. Linux maps UC to PCD=1,
      PWT=1 page attributes on non-PAT systems. On non-PAT and PAT
      systems a WC MTRR has different effects on pages with either of
      these attributes. In order to help with a smooth transition its
      best to enable use of UC (PCD,1, PWT=1) on a region as that
      ensures a WC MTRR will have no effect on a region, this however
      requires us to have an way to declare a region as UC and we
      currently do not have a way to do this.
      
        WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC.
        WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC)  yields UC.
      
        WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC.
        WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC)  yields UC.
      
      A flip of the default ioremap_nocache() behaviour from UC- to UC
      can therefore regress a memory region from effective memory type
      WC to UC if MTRRs are used. Use of MTRRs should be phased out
      and in the best case only arch_phys_wc_add() use will remain,
      even if this happens arch_phys_wc_add() will have an effect on
      non-PAT systems and changes to default ioremap_nocache()
      behaviour could regress drivers.
      
      Now, ideally we'd use ioremap_nocache() on the regions in which
      we'd need uncachable memory types and avoid any MTRRs on those
      regions. There are however some restrictions on MTRRs use, such
      as the requirement of having the base and size of variable sized
      MTRRs to be powers of two, which could mean having to use a WC
      MTRR over a large area which includes a region in which
      write-combining effects are undesirable.
      
      Add ioremap_uc() to help with the both phasing out of MTRR use
      and also provide a way to blacklist small WC undesirable regions
      in devices with mixed regions which are size-implicated to use
      large WC MTRRs. Use of ioremap_uc() helps phase out MTRR use by
      avoiding regressions with an eventual flip of default behaviour
      or ioremap_nocache() from UC- to UC.
      
      Drivers working with WC MTRRs can use the below table to review
      and consider the use of ioremap*() and similar helpers to ensure
      appropriate behaviour long term even if default
      ioremap_nocache() behaviour changes from UC- to UC.
      
      Although ioremap_uc() is being added we leave set_memory_uc() to
      use UC- as only initial memory type setup is required to be able
      to accommodate existing device drivers and phase out MTRR use.
      It should also be clarified that set_memory_uc() cannot be used
      with IO memory, even though its use will not return any errors,
      it really has no effect.

      x86/mm: Simplify enabling direct_gbpages · e5008abe
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      direct_gbpages can be force enabled as an early parameter
      but not really have taken effect when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
      or KMEMCHECK is enabled. You can also enable direct_gbpages
      right now if you have an x86_64 architecture but your CPU
      doesn't really have support for this feature. In both cases
      PG_LEVEL_1G won't actually be enabled but direct_gbpages is used
      in other areas under the assumptions that PG_LEVEL_1G
      was set. Fix this by putting together all requirements
      which make this feature sensible to enable under, and only
      enable both finally flipping on PG_LEVEL_1G and leaving
      PG_LEVEL_1G set when this is true.
      
      We only enable this feature then to be possible on sensible
      builds defined by the new ENABLE_DIRECT_GBPAGES. If the
      CPU has support for it you can either enable this by using
      the DIRECT_GBPAGES option or using the early kernel parameter.
      If a platform had support for this you can always force disable
      it as well.

      mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable · 031bc574
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime.  So
      introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and
      makes related functions to be disabled in this case.
      
      Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions.  Because guard
      page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off
      according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.
