Meelis reported that his K8 Athlon64 emits MCE warnings when PTI is enabled: [Hardware Error]: Error Addr: 0x0000ffff81e000e0 [Hardware Error]: MC1 Error: L1 TLB multimatch. [Hardware Error]: cache level: L1, tx: INSN The address is in the entry area, which is mapped into kernel _AND_ user space. That's special because we switch CR3 while we are executing there. User mapping: 0xffffffff81e00000-0xffffffff82000000 2M ro PSE GLB x pmd Kernel mapping: 0xffffffff81000000-0xffffffff82000000 16M ro PSE x pmd So the K8 is complaining that the TLB entries differ. They differ in the GLB bit. Drop the GLB bit when installing the user shared mapping. Fixes: 6dc72c3c ("x86/mm/pti: Share entry text PMD") Reported-by:

AMD processors are not subject to the types of attacks that the kernel page table isolation feature protects against. The AMD microarchitecture does not allow memory references, including speculative references, that access higher privileged data when running in a lesser privileged mode when that access would result in a page fault. Disable page table isolation by default on AMD processors by not setting the X86_BUG_CPU_INSECURE feature, which controls whether X86_FEATURE_PTI is set. Signed-off-by:

Thomas Gleixner authored
The error path in write_ldt() tries to free 'old_ldt' instead of the newly allocated 'new_ldt', resulting in a memory leak. It also misses to clean up a half populated LDT pagetable, which is not a leak as it gets cleaned up when the process exits. Free both the potentially half populated LDT pagetable and the newly allocated LDT struct. This can be done unconditionally because once an LDT is mapped subsequent maps will succeed, because the PTE page is already populated and the two LDTs fit into that single page. Reported-by:

The preempt_disable/enable() pair in __native_flush_tlb() was added in commit: 5cf0791d ("x86/mm: Disable preemption during CR3 read+write") ... to protect the UP variant of flush_tlb_mm_range(). That preempt_disable/enable() pair should have been added to the UP variant of flush_tlb_mm_range() instead. The UP variant was removed with commit: ce4a4e56 ("x86/mm: Remove the UP asm/tlbflush.h code, always use the (formerly) SMP code") ... but the preempt_disable/enable() pair stayed around. The latest change to __native_flush_tlb() in commit: 6fd166aa ("x86/mm: Use/Fix PCID to optimize user/kernel switches") ... added an access to a per CPU variable outside the preempt disabled regions, which makes no sense at all. __native_flush_tlb() must always be called with at least preemption disabled. Remove the preempt_disable/enable() pair and add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to catch bad callers independent of the smp_processor_id() debugging. Signed-off-by:

smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector() and smpboot_restore_warm_reset_vector() invoke local_flush_tlb() for no obvious reason. Digging in history revealed that the original code in the 2.1 era added those because the code manipulated a swapper_pg_dir pagetable entry. The pagetable manipulation was removed long ago in the 2.3 timeframe, but the TLB flush invocations stayed around forever. Remove them along with the pointless pr_debug()s which come from the same 2.1 change. Reported-by:

Now that the LDT mapping is in a known area when PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION is enabled its a primary target for attacks, if a user space interface fails to validate a write address correctly. That can never happen, right? The SDM states: If the segment descriptors in the GDT or an LDT are placed in ROM, the processor can enter an indefinite loop if software or the processor attempts to update (write to) the ROM-based segment descriptors. To prevent this problem, set the accessed bits for all segment descriptors placed in a ROM. Also, remove operating-system or executive code that attempts to modify segment descriptors located in ROM. So its a valid approach to set the ACCESS bit when setting up the LDT entry and to map the table RO. Fixup the selftest so it can handle that new mode. Remove the manual ACCESS bit setter in set_tls_desc() as this is now pointless. Folded the patch from Peter Ziljstra. Signed-off-by: -

Add two debugfs files which allow to dump the pagetable of the current task. current_kernel dumps the regular page table. This is the page table which is normally shared between kernel and user space. If kernel page table isolation is enabled this is the kernel space mapping. If kernel page table isolation is enabled the second file, current_user, dumps the user space page table. These files allow to verify the resulting page tables for page table isolation, but even in the normal case its useful to be able to inspect user space page tables of current for debugging purposes.

Finally allow CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION to be enabled. PARAVIRT generally requires that the kernel not manage its own page tables. It also means that the hypervisor and kernel must agree wholeheartedly about what format the page tables are in and what they contain. PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION, unfortunately, changes the rules and they can not be used together. I've seen conflicting feedback from maintainers lately about whether they want the Kconfig magic to go first or last in a patch series. It's going last here because the partially-applied series leads to kernels that can not boot in a bunch of cases. I did a run through the entire series with CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y to look for build errors, though. [ tglx: Removed SMP and !PARAVIRT dependencies as they not longer exist ] Signed-off-by:

CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION is relatively new and intrusive feature that may still have some corner cases which could take some time to manifest and be fixed. It would be useful to have Oops messages indicate whether it was enabled for building the kernel, and whether it was disabled during boot. Example of fully enabled: Oops: 0001 [#1] SMP PTI Example of enabled during build, but disabled during boot: Oops: 0001 [#1] SMP NOPTI We can decide to remove this after the feature has been tested in the field long enough.

This uses INVPCID to shoot down individual lines of the user mapping instead of marking the entire user map as invalid. This could/might/possibly be faster.

Most NMI/paranoid exceptions will not in fact change pagetables and would thus not require TLB flushing, however RESTORE_CR3 uses flushing CR3 writes. Restores to kernel PCIDs can be NOFLUSH, because we explicitly flush the kernel mappings and now that we track which user PCIDs need flushing we can avoid those too when possible. This does mean RESTORE_CR3 needs an additional scratch_reg, luckily both sites have plenty available. Signed-off-by:

We can use PCID to retain the TLBs across CR3 switches; including those now part of the user/kernel switch. This increases performance of kernel entry/exit at the cost of more expensive/complicated TLB flushing. Now that we have two address spaces, one for kernel and one for user space, we need two PCIDs per mm. We use the top PCID bit to indicate a user PCID (just like we use the PFN LSB for the PGD). Since we do TLB invalidation from kernel space, the existing code will only invalidate the kernel PCID, we augment that by marking the corresponding user PCID invalid, and upon switching back to userspace, use a flushing CR3 write for the switch. In order to access the user_pcid_flush_mask we use PER_CPU storage, which means the previously established SWAPGS vs CR3 ordering is now mandatory and required. Having to do this memory access does require additional registers, most sites have a functioning stack and we can spill one (RAX), sites without functional stack need to otherwise provide the second scratch register. Note: PCID is generally available on Intel Sandybridge and later CPUs. Note: Up until this point TLB flushing was broken in this series.

In preparation to adding additional PCID flushing, abstract the loading of a new ASID into CR3. [ PeterZ: Split out from big combo patch ] Signed-off-by:
-
Dave Hansen authored
If changing the page tables in such a way that an invalidation of all contexts (aka. PCIDs / ASIDs) is required, they can be actively invalidated by: 1. INVPCID for each PCID (works for single pages too). 2. Load CR3 with each PCID without the NOFLUSH bit set 3. Load CR3 with the NOFLUSH bit set for each and do INVLPG for each address. But, none of these are really feasible since there are ~6 ASIDs (12 with PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION) at the time that invalidation is required. Instead of actively invalidating them, invalidate the *current* context and also mark the cpu_tlbstate _quickly_ to indicate future invalidation to be required. At the next context-switch, look for this indicator ('invalidate_other' being set) invalidate all of the cpu_tlbstate.ctxs[] entries. This ensures that any future context switches will do a full flush of the TLB, picking up the previous changes. [ tglx: Folded more fixups from Peter ] Signed-off-by: -

With PTI enabled, the LDT must be mapped in the usermode tables somewhere. The LDT is per process, i.e. per mm. An earlier approach mapped the LDT on context switch into a fixmap area, but that's a big overhead and exhausted the fixmap space when NR_CPUS got big. Take advantage of the fact that there is an address space hole which provides a completely unused pgd. Use this pgd to manage per-mm LDT mappings. This has a down side: the LDT isn't (currently) randomized, and an attack that can write the LDT is instant root due to call gates (thanks, AMD, for leaving call gates in AMD64 but designing them wrong so they're only useful for exploits). This can be mitigated by making the LDT read-only or randomizing the mapping, either of which is strightforward on top of this patch. This will significantly slow down LDT users, but that shouldn't matter for important workloads -- the LDT is only used by DOSEMU(2), Wine, and very old libc implementations.

The BTS and PEBS buffers both have their virtual addresses programmed into the hardware. This means that any access to them is performed via the page tables. The times that the hardware accesses these are entirely dependent on how the performance monitoring hardware events are set up. In other words, there is no way for the kernel to tell when the hardware might access these buffers. To avoid perf crashes, place 'debug_store' allocate pages and map them into the cpu_entry_area. The PEBS fixup buffer does not need this treatment. [ tglx: Got rid of the kaiser_add_mapping() complication ] Signed-off-by:

The Intel PEBS/BTS debug store is a design trainwreck as it expects virtual addresses which must be visible in any execution context. So it is required to make these mappings visible to user space when kernel page table isolation is active. Provide enough room for the buffer mappings in the cpu_entry_area so the buffers are available in the user space visible page tables. At the point where the kernel side entry area is populated there is no buffer available yet, but the kernel PMD must be populated. To achieve this set the entries for these buffers to non present.

PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION needs to switch to a different CR3 value when it enters the kernel and switch back when it exits. This essentially needs to be done before leaving assembly code. This is extra challenging because the switching context is tricky: the registers that can be clobbered can vary. It is also hard to store things on the stack because there is an established ABI (ptregs) or the stack is entirely unsafe to use. Establish a set of macros that allow changing to the user and kernel CR3 values. Interactions with SWAPGS: Previous versions of the PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION code relied on having per-CPU scratch space to save/restore a register that can be used for the CR3 MOV. The %GS register is used to index into our per-CPU space, so SWAPGS *had* to be done before the CR3 switch. That scratch space is gone now, but the semantic that SWAPGS must be done before the CR3 MOV is retained. This is good to keep because it is not that hard to do and it allows to do things like add per-CPU debugging information. What this does in the NMI code is worth pointing out. NMIs can interrupt *any* context and they can also be nested with NMIs interrupting other NMIs. The comments below ".Lnmi_from_kernel" explain the format of the stack during this situation. Changing the format of this stack is hard. Instead of storing the old CR3 value on the stack, this depends on the *regular* register save/restore mechanism and then uses %r14 to keep CR3 during the NMI. It is callee-saved and will not be clobbered by the C NMI handlers that get called. [ PeterZ: ESPFIX optimization ] Based-on-code-from: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Global pages stay in the TLB across context switches. Since all contexts share the same kernel mapping, these mappings are marked as global pages so kernel entries in the TLB are not flushed out on a context switch. But, even having these entries in the TLB opens up something that an attacker can use, such as the double-page-fault attack: http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2013/papers/4977a191.pdf That means that even when PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION switches page tables on return to user space the global pages would stay in the TLB cache. Disable global pages so that kernel TLB entries can be flushed before returning to user space. This way, all accesses to kernel addresses from userspace result in a TLB miss independent of the existence of a kernel mapping. Suppress global pages via the __supported_pte_mask. The user space mappings set PAGE_GLOBAL for the minimal kernel mappings which are required for entry/exit. These mappings are set up manually so the filtering does not take place.
