powerpc/pkeys: Check vma before returning key fault error to the user
If multiple threads in userspace keep changing the protection keys mapping a range, there can be a scenario where kernel takes a key fault but the pkey value found in the siginfo struct is a permissive one. This can confuse the userspace as shown in the below test case. /* use this to control the number of test iterations */ static void pkeyreg_set(int pkey, unsigned long rights) { unsigned long reg, shift; shift = (NR_PKEYS - pkey - 1) * PKEY_BITS_PER_PKEY; asm volatile("mfspr %0, 0xd" : "=r"(reg)); reg &= ~(((unsigned long) PKEY_BITS_MASK) << shift); reg |= (rights & PKEY_BITS_MASK) << shift; asm volatile("mtspr 0xd, %0" : : "r"(reg)); } static unsigned long pkeyreg_get(void) { unsigned long reg; asm volatile("mfspr %0, 0xd" : "=r"(reg)); return reg; } static int sys_pkey_mprotect(void *addr, size_t len, int prot, int pkey) { return syscall(SYS_pkey_mprotect, addr, len, prot, pkey); } static int sys_pkey_alloc(unsigned long flags, unsigned long access_rights) { return syscall(SYS_pkey_alloc, flags, access_rights); } static int sys_pkey_free(int pkey) { return syscall(SYS_pkey_free, pkey); } static int faulting_pkey; static int permissive_pkey; static pthread_barrier_t pkey_set_barrier; static pthread_barrier_t mprotect_barrier; static void pkey_handle_fault(int signum, siginfo_t *sinfo, void *ctx) { unsigned long pkeyreg; /* FIXME: printf is not signal-safe but for the current purpose, it gets the job done. */ printf("pkey: exp = %d, got = %d\n", faulting_pkey, sinfo->si_pkey); fflush(stdout); assert(sinfo->si_code == SEGV_PKUERR); assert(sinfo->si_pkey == faulting_pkey); /* clear pkey permissions to let the faulting instruction continue */ pkeyreg_set(faulting_pkey, 0x0); } static void *do_mprotect_fault(void *p) { unsigned long rights, pkeyreg, pgsize; unsigned int i; void *region; int pkey; srand(time(NULL)); pgsize = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE); rights = PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE; region = p; /* allocate key, no permissions */ assert((pkey = sys_pkey_alloc(0, PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS)) > 0); pkeyreg_set(4, 0x0); /* cache the pkey here as the faulting pkey for future reference in the signal handler */ faulting_pkey = pkey; printf("%s: faulting pkey = %d\n", __func__, faulting_pkey); /* try to allocate, mprotect and free pkeys repeatedly */ for (i = 0;

/* sync up with the other thread here */ pthread_barrier_wait(&mprotect_barrier); /* perform mprotect */ assert(!sys_pkey_mprotect(region, pgsize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, pkey)); /* choose a random byte from the protected region and attempt to write to it, this will generate a fault */ *((char *) region + (rand() % pgsize)) = rand(); /* restore pkey permissions as the signal handler may have cleared the bit out for the sake of continuing */ pkeyreg_set(pkey, PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE); } /* free pkey */ sys_pkey_free(pkey); return NULL; } static void *do_mprotect_nofault(void *p) { unsigned long pgsize; unsigned int i, j; void *region; int pkey; pgsize = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE); region = p; /* try to allocate, mprotect and free pkeys repeatedly */ for (i = 0; i < NUM_ITERATIONS; i++) { /* allocate pkey, all permissions */ assert((pkey = sys_pkey_alloc(0, 0)) > 0); permissive_pkey = pkey; /* sync up with the other thread here */ pthread_barrier_wait(&pkey_set_barrier); pthread_barrier_wait(&mprotect_barrier); /* perform mprotect on the common page, no faults will be triggered as this is most permissive */ assert(!sys_pkey_mprotect(region, pgsize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, pkey));

Aborted Check for vma access before considering this a key fault. If vma pkey allow access retry the acess again.
