It turns out that we still have issues with the EFI memory map that ends up polluting our kernel page tables with writable executable pages. That will get sorted out, but in the meantime let's not make the scary complaint about them be on by default. The code is useful for developers, but not ready for end user testing yet.

Warn on any residual W+X mappings after setting NX if DEBUG_WX is enabled. Introduce a separate X86_PTDUMP_CORE config that enables the code for dumping the page tables without enabling the debugfs interface, so that DEBUG_WX can be enabled without exposing the debugfs interface. Switch EFI_PGT_DUMP to using X86_PTDUMP_CORE so that it also does not require enabling the debugfs interface. On success it prints this to the kernel log: x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found. On failure it prints a warning and a count of the failed pages: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/dump_pagetables.c:226 note_page+0x610/0x7b0() x86/mm: Found insecure W+X mapping at address ffffffff81755000/__stop___ex_table+0xfa8/0xabfa8 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff81380a5f>] dump_stack+0x44/0x55 [<ffffffff8109d3f2>] warn_slowpath_common+0x82/0xc0 [<ffffffff8109d48c>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5c/0x80 [<ffffffff8106cfc9>] ? note_page+0x5c9/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8106d010>] note_page+0x610/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8106d409>] ptdump_walk_pgd_level_core+0x259/0x3c0 [<ffffffff8106d5a7>] ptdump_walk_pgd_level_checkwx+0x17/0x20 [<ffffffff81063905>] mark_rodata_ro+0xf5/0x100 [<ffffffff817415a0>] ? rest_init+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff817415bd>] kernel_init+0x1d/0xe0 [<ffffffff8174cd1f>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 [<ffffffff817415a0>] ? rest_init+0x80/0x80 ---[ end trace a1f23a1e42a2ac76 ]--- x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, 171 W+X pages found.

It turns out to be rather tedious to test the NMI nesting code. Make it easier: add a new CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY option that causes the NMI handler to pre-emptively unmask NMIs. With this option set, errors in the repeat_nmi logic or failures to detect that we're in a nested NMI will result in quick panics under perf (especially if multiple counters are running at high frequency) instead of requiring an unusual workload that generates page faults or breakpoints inside NMIs. I called it CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY instead of CONFIG_DEBUG_NMI_ENTRY because I want to add new non-NMI checks elsewhere in the entry code in the future, and I'd rather not add too many new config options or add this option and then immediately rename it.

Intel's Quark X1000 SoC contains a set of registers called Isolated Memory Regions. IMRs are accessed over the IOSF mailbox interface. IMRs are areas carved out of memory that define read/write access rights to the various system agents within the Quark system. For a given agent in the system it is possible to specify if that agent may read or write an area of memory defined by an IMR with a granularity of 1 KiB. Quark_SecureBootPRM_330234_001.pdf section 4.5 details the concept of IMRs quark-x1000-datasheet.pdf section 12.7.4 details the implementation of IMRs in silicon. eSRAM flush, CPU Snoop write-only, CPU SMM Mode, CPU non-SMM mode, RMU and PCIe Virtual Channels (VC0 and VC1) can have individual read/write access masks applied to them for a given memory region in Quark X1000. This enables IMRs to treat each memory transaction type listed above on an individual basis and to filter appropriately based on the IMR access mask for the memory region. Quark supports eight IMRs. Since all of the DMA capable SoC components in the X1000 are mapped to VC0 it is possible to define sections of memory as invalid for DMA write operations originating from Ethernet, USB, SD and any other DMA capable south-cluster component on VC0. Similarly it is possible to mark kernel memory as non-SMM mode read/write only or to mark BIOS runtime memory as SMM mode accessible only depending on the particular memory footprint on a given system. On an IMR violation Quark SoC X1000 systems are configured to reset the system, so ensuring that the IMR memory map is consistent with the EFI provided memory map is critical to ensure no IMR violations reset the system. The API for accessing IMRs is based on MTRR code but doesn't provide a /proc or /sys interface to manipulate IMRs. Defining the size and extent of IMRs is exclusively the domain of in-kernel code. Quark firmware sets up a series of locked IMRs around pieces of memory that firmware owns such as ACPI runtime data. During boot a series of unlocked IMRs are placed around items in memory to guarantee no DMA modification of those items can take place. Grub also places an unlocked IMR around the kernel boot params data structure and compressed kernel image. It is necessary for the kernel to tear down all unlocked IMRs in order to ensure that the kernel's view of memory passed via the EFI memory map is consistent with the IMR memory map. Without tearing down all unlocked IMRs on boot transitory IMRs such as those used to protect the compressed kernel image will cause IMR violations and system reboots. The IMR init code tears down all unlocked IMRs and sets a protective IMR around the kernel .text and .rodata as one contiguous block. This sanitizes the IMR memory map with respect to the EFI memory map and protects the read-only portions of the kernel from unwarranted DMA access.

static_cpu_has may be used only after alternatives have run. Before that it always returns false if constant folding with __builtin_constant_p() doesn't happen. And you don't want that. This patch is the result of me debugging an issue where I overzealously put static_cpu_has in code which executed before alternatives have run and had to spend some time with scratching head and cursing at the monitor. So add a jump to a warning which screams loudly when we use this function too early. The alternatives patch that check away in conjunction with patching the rest of the kernel image.

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to shutdown. There were some concerns that various machines may have problems with using an NMI IPI. This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine panics and we learn the hard way. Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results. The output looks like: ...

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each individual section: 1. Code: RO+X 2. RO data: RO+NX 3. RW data: RW+NX In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access permissions are set right before successful exit from load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right before calling module_free(). By default, the original section layout and access flags are preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y, the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that each page contains only one type of content and will enforce RO/NX for each group of pages. -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch. -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also been corrected. -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional.

Intel Moorestown platform has a spi-uart device(Maxim3110), which connects to a Designware spi core controller. This patch will add early console function based on it. As it will be used long before Linux spi subsystem get initialised, we simply directly manipulate the spi controller's register to acheive the early console func. This is safe as it will be disabled when devices subsytem get initialised. To use it, user need enable CONFIG_X86_MRST_EARLY_PRINTK in kenrel config and add "earlyprintk=mrst" in kernel command line.

These days 4 kilobytes of stack just aren't enough for reliably operation, and people using lots of threads have long switched to 64-bit kernels, so remove the CONFIG_4KSTACKS option.

IRQ stacks provide much better safety against unexpected stack use from interrupts, at the minimal downside of slightly higher memory usage. Enable irq stacks also for the default 8k stack on 32-bit kernels to minimize the problem of stack overflows through interrupt activity. This is what the 64-bit kernel and various other architectures already do.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

The branch profiling creates very complex code for each if statement, to the point that gcc has trouble even analyzing something as simple as if (count > 5) count = 5; This then means that causing an error on code that gcc cannot analyze for copy_from_user() and co is not very productive. This patch excludes the strict copy checks in the case of branch profiling being enabled.

Add a user-space selftest of x86 instruction decoder at kernel build time. When CONFIG_X86_DECODER_SELFTEST=y, Kbuild builds a test harness of x86 instruction decoder and performs it after building vmlinux. The test compares the results of objdump and x86 instruction decoder code and check there are no differences.

The Kconfig options of kmemcheck are hidden under arch/x86 which makes porting to other architectures harder. To fix that, move the Kconfig bits to lib/Kconfig.kmemcheck and introduce a CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KMEMCHECK config option that architectures can define.

IOMMU_LEAK, GART's own feature, dumps the used IOMMU entries when IOMMU entries is full, which might be useful to find a bad driver that eats IOMMU entries. DMA_API_DEBUG provides the similar feature, debug_dma_dump_mappings, and it's better than GART's IOMMU_LEAK feature. GART's IOMMU_LEAK feature doesn't say who uses IOMMU entries so it's hard to find a bad driver. This patch reimplements the GART's IOMMU_LEAK feature by using DMA_API_DEBUG.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.
