      uml: deal with inaccessible address space start · 40fb16a3
      Tom Spink 提交于
      This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,
      as well as the top.  This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap
      addresses.  It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a
      valid page is found.
      
      Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
      sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
      address space.  The size is the difference between the top address and
      bottom address.
      
      [jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is
      supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and
      changed the return value to reflect that.  Also some minor formatting
      changes]

      uml: fix FP register corruption · 2f56debd
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Commit ee3d9bd4 ("uml: simplify SIGSEGV
      handling"), while greatly simplifying the kernel SIGSEGV handler that
      runs in the process address space, introduced a bug which corrupts FP
      state in the process.
      
      Previously, the SIGSEGV handler called the sigreturn system call by hand - it
      couldn't return through the restorer provided to it because that could try to
      call the libc restorer which likely wouldn't exist in the process address
      space.  So, it blocked off some signals, including SIGUSR1, on entry to the
      SIGSEGV handler, queued a SIGUSR1 to itself, and invoked sigreturn.  The
      SIGUSR1 was delivered, and was visible to the UML kernel after sigreturn
      finished.
      
      The commit eliminated the signal masking and the call to sigreturn.  The
      handler simply hits itself with a SIGTRAP to let the UML kernel know that it
      is finished.  UML then restores the process registers, which effectively
      longjmps the process out of the signal handler, skipping sigreturn's restoring
      of register state and the signal mask.
      
      The bug is that the host apparently sets used_fp to 0 when it saves the
      process FP state in the sigcontext on the process signal stack.  Thus, when
      the process is longjmped out of the handler, its FP state is corrupt because
      it wasn't saved on the context switch to the UML kernel.
      
      This manifested itself as sleep hanging.  For some reason, sleep uses floating
      point in order to calculate the sleep interval.  When a page fault corrupts
      its FP state, it is faked into essentially sleeping forever.
      
      This patch saves the FP state before entering the SIGSEGV handler and restores
      it afterwards.

      uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detection · 536788fe
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Calculate TASK_SIZE at run-time by figuring out the host's VMSPLIT - this is
      needed on i386 if UML is to run on hosts with varying VMSPLITs without
      recompilation.
      
      TASK_SIZE is now defined in terms of a variable, task_size.  This gets rid of
      an include of pgtable.h from processor.h, which can cause include loops.
      
      On i386, task_size is calculated early in boot by probing the address space in
      a binary search to figure out where the boundary between usable and non-usable
      memory is.  This tries to make sure that a page that is considered to be in
      userspace is, or can be made, read-write.  I'm concerned about a system-global
      VDSO page in kernel memory being hit and considered to be a userspace page.
      
      On x86_64, task_size is just the old value of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR.
      
      A bunch of config variable are gone now.  CONFIG_TOP_ADDR is directly replaced
      by TASK_SIZE.  NEST_LEVEL is gone since the relocation of the stubs makes it
      irrelevant.  All the HOST_VMSPLIT stuff is gone.  All references to these in
      arch/um/Makefile are also gone.
      
      I noticed and fixed a missing extern in os.h when adding os_get_task_size.

      uml: floating point signal delivery fixes · a5f6096c
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Handle floating point state in across signals correctly.  UML/i386 needs to
      know whether the host does PTRACE_[GS]ETFPXREGS, so an arch_init_registers
      hook is added, which on x86_64 does nothing.
      
      UML doesn't save and restore floating point registers on kernel entry and
      exit, so they need to be copied between the host process and the sigcontext.
      save_fpx_registers and restore_fpx_registers are added for this purpose.
      save_fp_registers and restore_fp_registers already exist.
      
      There was a bunch of floating point state conversion code in
      arch/um/sys-i386/ptrace.c which isn't needed there, but is needed in signal.c,
      so it is moved over.
      
      The i386 code now distinguishes between fp and fpx state and handles them
      correctly.  The x86_64 code just needs to copy state as-is between the host
      process and the stack.  There are also some fixes there to pass the correct
      address of the floating point state around.

      uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TT · 42fda663
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.
      
      This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.
      
      The removal is done as follows:
      	remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
      CONFIG_MODE_TT
      	get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
      call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
      skas portions
      	replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents
      
      There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
      mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context.  These
      are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.
      
      As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
      files that were changed.  There are three such patches, one for each phase,
      covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.
      
      I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
      it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.
      
      The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
      inexplicable crashes under tt mode.  Since that is no longer a problem, this
      can now go in.
      
      This patch:
      
      Start getting rid of tt mode support.
      
      This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
      which depend on it.
      
      CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
      unconditionally.
      
      The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
      something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
      strictly deletions.

      uml: stop saving process FP state · 42daba31
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point
      state.  In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state
      on kernel entry and exit is pointless.
      
      This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c.  Most
      of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to
      arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c.  Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor
      get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during
      sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of
      the process sigcontext.
      
      After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost
      completely unneeded.  The declarations in it are variables which either don't
      exist or which don't have global scope.  The one exception is
      kill_off_processes_skas.  If that's removed, this header can be deleted.
      
      This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a
      size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files.

      uml: iRQ stacks · c14b8494
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Add a separate IRQ stack.  This differs from i386 in having the entire
      interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel
      stack and switching over once some preparation has been done.  The underlying
      mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack.
      
      Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on
      the normal kernel stack.  These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal
      delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these.  There's
      no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption.
      
      This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate
      stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal
      kernel stack.  If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought.
      
      The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel
      stack.  IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically.
      
      An extra field was added to the thread_info structure.  When the active
      thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to
      the original stack.  This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info
      struct back to when the interrupt is finished.  It also serves as a marker of
      a nested interrupt.  It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and
      non-NULL for any nested interrupts.
      
      Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the
      thread_info structure is being set up or taken down.  I could just disable
      interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained
      by not flipping signals on and off.
      
      If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run
      because it has no idea what shape the stack is in.  So, it sets a bit for its
      signal in a global mask and returns.  The outer handler will deal with this
      signal itself.
      
      Atomicity is had with xchg.  A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will
      xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another
      interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes.
      
      The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into
      pending_mask when it is done.  At this point, nested interrupts will look at
      ->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done.  They can just continue
      normally.
      
      Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler.  If another
      interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit
      into pending_mask.  The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero,
      will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

      [PATCH] uml: use correct register file size everywhere · b92c4f92
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size.
       FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the
      ptrace register file size.  MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way
      to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be.
      
      When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because
      of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file.  The
      patch also adds a register dump at that point in case there are any future
      problems here.

      [PATCH] uml: stack usage reduction · 75e29b18
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack.  In order to overcome
      an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single
      register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full
      pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and
      returned one field.  do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two
      local pt_regs, blowing out the stack.
      
      This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just
      return a single register from a jmp_buf.
      
      The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of
      jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c.  <setjmp.h>

      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Have most signals go through an arch-provided handler which recovers the
      sigcontext and then calls a generic handler.  This replaces the
      ARCH_GET_SIGCONTEXT macro, which was somewhat fragile.  On x86_64, recovering
      %rdx (which holds the sigcontext pointer) must be the first thing that
      happens.  sig_handler duly invokes that first, but there is no guarantee that
      I can see that instructions won't be reordered such that %rdx is used before
      that.  Having the arch provide the handler seems much more robust.
      
      Some signals in some parts of UML require their own handlers - these places
      don't call set_handler any more.  They call sigaction or signal themselves.

      [PATCH] uml: Use klibc setjmp/longjmp · 13c06be3
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patch adds an implementation of setjmp and longjmp to UML, allowing
      access to the inside of a jmpbuf without needing the access macros formerly
      provided by libc.
      
      The implementation is stolen from klibc.  I copy the relevant files into
      arch/um.  I have another patch which avoids the copying, but requires klibc be
      in the tree.
      
      setjmp and longjmp users required some tweaking.  Includes of <setjmp.h> were
      removed and includes of the UML longjmp.h were added where necessary.  There
      are also replacements of siglongjmp with UML_LONGJMP which I somehow missed
      earlier.

      [PATCH] uml: skas0 - separate kernel address space on stock hosts · d67b569f
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      UML has had two modes of operation - an insecure, slow mode (tt mode) in
      which the kernel is mapped into every process address space which requires
      no host kernel modifications, and a secure, faster mode (skas mode) in
      which the UML kernel is in a separate host address space, which requires a
      patch to the host kernel.
      
      This patch implements something very close to skas mode for hosts which
      don't support skas - I'm calling this skas0.  It provides the security of
      the skas host patch, and some of the performance gains.
      
      The two main things that are provided by the skas patch, /proc/mm and
      PTRACE_FAULTINFO, are implemented in a way that require no host patch.
      
      For the remote address space changing stuff (mmap, munmap, and mprotect),
      we set aside two pages in the process above its stack, one of which
      contains a little bit of code which can call mmap et al.
      
      To update the address space, the system call information (system call
      number and arguments) are written to the stub page above the code.  The
      %esp is set to the beginning of the data, the %eip is set the the start of
      the stub, and it repeatedly pops the information into its registers and
      makes the system call until it sees a system call number of zero.  This is
      to amortize the cost of the context switch across multiple address space
      updates.
      
      When the updates are done, it SIGSTOPs itself, and the kernel process
      continues what it was doing.
      
      For a PTRACE_FAULTINFO replacement, we set up a SIGSEGV handler in the
      child, and let it handle segfaults rather than nullifying them.  The
      handler is in the same page as the mmap stub.  The second page is used as
      the stack.  The handler reads cr2 and err from the sigcontext, sticks them
      at the base of the stack in a faultinfo struct, and SIGSTOPs itself.  The
      kernel then reads the faultinfo and handles the fault.
      
      A complication on x86_64 is that this involves resetting the registers to
      the segfault values when the process is inside the kill system call.  This
      breaks on x86_64 because %rcx will contain %rip because you tell SYSRET
      where to return to by putting the value in %rcx.  So, this corrupts $rcx on
      return from the segfault.  To work around this, I added an
      arch_finish_segv, which on x86 does nothing, but which on x86_64 ptraces
      the child back through the sigreturn.  This causes %rcx to be restored by
      sigreturn and avoids the corruption.  Ultimately, I think I will replace
      this with the trick of having it send itself a blocked signal which will be
      unblocked by the sigreturn.  This will allow it to be stopped just after
      the sigreturn, and PTRACE_SYSCALLed without all the back-and-forth of
      PTRACE_SYSCALLing it through sigreturn.
      
      This runs on a stock host, so theoretically (and hopefully), tt mode isn't
      needed any more.  We need to make sure that this is better in every way
      than tt mode, though.  I'm concerned about the speed of address space
      updates and page fault handling, since they involve extra round-trips to
      the child.  We can amortize the round-trip cost for large address space
      updates by writing all of the operations to the data page and having the
      child execute them all at the same time.  This will help fork and exec, but
      not page faults, since they involve only one page.
      
      I can't think of any way to help page faults, except to add something like
      PTRACE_FAULTINFO to the host.  There is PTRACE_SIGINFO, but UML doesn't use
      siginfo for SIGSEGV (or anything else) because there isn't enough
      information in the siginfo struct to handle page faults (the faulting
      operation type is missing).  Adding that would make PTRACE_SIGINFO a usable
      equivalent to PTRACE_FAULTINFO.
      
      As for the code itself:
      
      - The system call stub is in arch/um/kernel/sys-$(SUBARCH)/stub.S.  It is
        put in its own section of the binary along with stub_segv_handler in
        arch/um/kernel/skas/process.c.  This is manipulated with run_syscall_stub
        in arch/um/kernel/skas/mem_user.c.  syscall_stub will execute any system
        call at all, but it's only used for mmap, munmap, and mprotect.
      
      - The x86_64 stub calls sigreturn by hand rather than allowing the normal
        sigreturn to happen, because the normal sigreturn is a SA_RESTORER in
        UML's address space provided by libc.  Needless to say, this is not
        available in the child's address space.  Also, it does a couple of odd
        pops before that which restore the stack to the state it was in at the
        time the signal handler was called.
      
      - There is a new field in the arch mmu_context, which is now a union.
        This is the pid to be manipulated rather than the /proc/mm file
        descriptor.  Code which deals with this now checks proc_mm to see whether
        it should use the usual skas code or the new code.
      
      - userspace_tramp is now used to create a new host process for every UML
        process, rather than one per UML processor.  It checks proc_mm and
        ptrace_faultinfo to decide whether to map in the pages above its stack.
      
      - start_userspace now makes CLONE_VM conditional on proc_mm since we need
        separate address spaces now.
      
      - switch_mm_skas now just sets userspace_pid[0] to the new pid rather
        than PTRACE_SWITCH_MM.  There is an addition to userspace which updates
        its idea of the pid being manipulated each time around the loop.  This is
        important on exec, when the pid will change underneath userspace().
      
      - The stub page has a pte, but it can't be mapped in using tlb_flush
        because it is part of tlb_flush.  This is why it's required for it to be
        mapped in by userspace_tramp.
      
      Other random things:
      
      - The stub section in uml.lds.S is page aligned.  This page is written
        out to the backing vm file in setup_physmem because it is mapped from
        there into user processes.
      
      - There's some confusion with TASK_SIZE now that there are a couple of
        extra pages that the process can't use.  TASK_SIZE is considered by the
        elf code to be the usable process memory, which is reasonable, so it is
        decreased by two pages.  This confuses the definition of
        USER_PGDS_IN_LAST_PML4, making it too small because of the rounding down
        of the uneven division.  So we round it to the nearest PGDIR_SIZE rather
        than the lower one.
      
      - I added a missing PT_SYSCALL_ARG6_OFFSET macro.
      
      - um_mmu.h was made into a userspace-usable file.
      
      - proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo are globals which say whether the host
        supports these features.
      
      - There is a bad interaction between the mm.nr_ptes check at the end of
        exit_mmap, stack randomization, and skas0.  exit_mmap will stop freeing
        pages at the PGDIR_SIZE boundary after the last vma.  If the stack isn't
        on the last page table page, the last pte page won't be freed, as it
        should be since the stub ptes are there, and exit_mmap will BUG because
        there is an unfreed page.  To get around this, TASK_SIZE is set to the
        next lowest PGDIR_SIZE boundary and mm->nr_ptes is decremented after the
        calls to init_stub_pte.  This ensures that we know the process stack (and
        all other process mappings) will be below the top page table page, and
        thus we know that mm->nr_ptes will be one too many, and can be
        decremented.
      
      Things that need fixing:
      
      - We may need better assurrences that the stub code is PIC.
      
      - The stub pte is set up in init_new_context_skas.
      
      - alloc_pgdir is probably the right place.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
