The kernel is very erratic as to which pagetables have _PAGE_USER set. The vsyscall page gets lucky: it seems that all of the relevant pagetables are among the apparently arbitrary ones that set _PAGE_USER. Rather than relying on chance, just explicitly set _PAGE_USER. This will let us clean up pagetable setup to stop setting _PAGE_USER. The added code can also be reused by pagetable isolation to manage the _PAGE_USER bit in the usermode tables.

The address hints are a trainwreck. The array entry numbers have to kept magically in sync with the actual hints, which is doomed as some of the array members are initialized at runtime via the entry numbers. Designated initializers have been around before this code was implemented.... Use the entry numbers to populate the address hints array and add the missing bits and pieces. Split 32 and 64 bit for readability sake. Signed-off-by:

The check for a present page in printk_prot(): if (!pgprot_val(prot)) { /* Not present */ is bogus. If a PTE is set to PAGE_NONE then the pgprot_val is not zero and the entry is decoded in bogus ways, e.g. as RX GLB. That is confusing when analyzing mapping correctness. Check for the present bit to make an informed decision. Signed-off-by: -

The recent cpu_entry_area changes fail to compile on 32-bit when BIGSMP=y and NR_CPUS=512, because the fixmap area becomes too big. Limit the number of CPUs with BIGSMP to 64, which is already way to big for 32-bit, but it's at least a working limitation. We performed a quick survey of 32-bit-only machines that might be affected by this change negatively, but found none. Signed-off-by:

There is currently no way to force CPU bug bits like CPU feature bits. That makes it impossible to set a bug bit once at boot and have it stick for all upcoming CPUs. Extend the force set/clear arrays to handle bug bits as well. Signed-off-by:

The TSS is a fairly juicy target for exploits, and, now that the TSS is in the cpu_entry_area, it's no longer protected by kASLR. Make it read-only on x86_64. On x86_32, it can't be RO because it's written by the CPU during task switches, and we use a task gate for double faults. I'd also be nervous about errata if we tried to make it RO even on configurations without double fault handling. [ tglx: AMD confirmed that there is no problem on 64-bit with TSS RO. So it's probably safe to assume that it's a non issue, though Intel might have been creative in that area. Still waiting for confirmation. ] Signed-off-by:

The IST stacks are needed when an IST exception occurs and are accessed before any kernel code at all runs. Move them into struct cpu_entry_area. The IST stacks are unlike the rest of cpu_entry_area: they're used even for entries from kernel mode. This means that they should be set up before we load the final IDT. Move cpu_entry_area setup to trap_init() for the boot CPU and set it up for all possible CPUs at once in native_smp_prepare_cpus(). Signed-off-by:

Handling SYSCALL is tricky: the SYSCALL handler is entered with every single register (except FLAGS), including RSP, live. It somehow needs to set RSP to point to a valid stack, which means it needs to save the user RSP somewhere and find its own stack pointer. The canonical way to do this is with SWAPGS, which lets us access percpu data using the %gs prefix. With PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION-like pagetable switching, this is problematic. Without a scratch register, switching CR3 is impossible, so %gs-based percpu memory would need to be mapped in the user pagetables. Doing that without information leaks is difficult or impossible. Instead, use a different sneaky trick. Map a copy of the first part of the SYSCALL asm at a different address for each CPU. Now RIP varies depending on the CPU, so we can use RIP-relative memory access to access percpu memory. By putting the relevant information (one scratch slot and the stack address) at a constant offset relative to RIP, we can make SYSCALL work without relying on %gs. A nice thing about this approach is that we can easily switch it on and off if we want pagetable switching to be configurable. The compat variant of SYSCALL doesn't have this problem in the first place -- there are plenty of scratch registers, since we don't care about preserving r8-r15. This patch therefore doesn't touch SYSCALL32 at all. This patch actually seems to be a small speedup. With this patch, SYSCALL touches an extra cache line and an extra virtual page, but the pipeline no longer stalls waiting for SWAPGS. It seems that, at least in a tight loop, the latter outweights the former. Thanks to David Laight for an optimization tip. Signed-off-by:

By itself, this is useless. It gives us the ability to run some final code before exit that cannnot run on the kernel stack. This could include a CR3 switch a la PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION or some kernel stack erasing, for example. (Or even weird things like *changing* which kernel stack gets used as an ASLR-strengthening mechanism.) The SYSRET32 path is not covered yet. It could be in the future or we could just ignore it and force the slow path if needed. Signed-off-by:

Historically, IDT entries from usermode have always gone directly to the running task's kernel stack. Rearrange it so that we enter on a per-CPU trampoline stack and then manually switch to the task's stack. This touches a couple of extra cachelines, but it gives us a chance to run some code before we touch the kernel stack. The asm isn't exactly beautiful, but I think that fully refactoring it can wait.

When we start using an entry trampoline, a #GP from userspace will be delivered on the entry stack, not on the task stack. Fix the espfix64 #DF fixup to set up #GP according to TSS.SP0, rather than assuming that pt_regs + 1 == SP0. This won't change anything without an entry stack, but it will make the code continue to work when an entry stack is added. While we're at it, improve the comments to explain what's actually going on. Signed-off-by:

Andy Lutomirski authored
On 64-bit kernels, we used to assume that TSS.sp0 was the current top of stack. With the addition of an entry trampoline, this will no longer be the case. Store the current top of stack in TSS.sp1, which is otherwise unused but shares the same cacheline. Signed-off-by:

This has a secondary purpose: it puts the entry stack into a region with a well-controlled layout. A subsequent patch will take advantage of this to streamline the SYSCALL entry code to be able to find it more easily. Signed-off-by:

SYSENTER_stack should have reliable overflow detection, which means that it needs to be at the bottom of a page, not the top. Move it to the beginning of struct tss_struct and page-align it. Also add an assertion to make sure that the fixed hardware TSS doesn't cross a page boundary. Signed-off-by:

We currently have CPU 0's GDT at the top of the GDT range and higher-numbered CPUs at lower addresses. This happens because the fixmap is upside down (index 0 is the top of the fixmap).

get_stack_info() doesn't currently know about the SYSENTER stack, so unwinding will fail if we entered the kernel on the SYSENTER stack and haven't fully switched off.

This will simplify future changes that want scratch variables early in the SYSENTER handler -- they'll be able to spill registers to the stack. It also lets us get rid of a SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK user. This does not depend on CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y because we'll want the stack space even without IA32 emulation. As far as I can tell, the reason that this wasn't done from day 1 is that we use IST for #DB and #BP, which is IMO rather nasty and causes a lot more problems than it solves. But, since #DB uses IST, we don't actually need a real stack for SYSENTER (because SYSENTER with TF set will invoke #DB on the IST stack rather than the SYSENTER stack). I want to remove IST usage from these vectors some day, and this patch is a prerequisite for that as well. Signed-off-by:

There are at least two unwinder bugs hindering the debugging of stack-overflow crashes: - It doesn't deal gracefully with the case where the stack overflows and the stack pointer itself isn't on a valid stack but the to-be-dereferenced data *is*. - The ORC oops dump code doesn't know how to print partial pt_regs, for the case where if we get an interrupt/exception in *early* entry code before the full pt_regs have been saved. Fix both issues. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171126024031.uxi4numpbjm5rlbr@trebleSigned-off-by:

If the stack overflows into a guard page and the ORC unwinder should work well: by construction, there can't be any meaningful data in the guard page because no writes to the guard page will have succeeded. But there is a bug that prevents unwinding from working correctly: if the starting register state has RSP pointing into a stack guard page, the ORC unwinder bails out immediately. Instead of bailing out immediately check whether the next page up is a valid check page and if so analyze that. As a result the ORC unwinder will start the unwind. Tested by intentionally overflowing the task stack. The result is an accurate call trace instead of a trace consisting purely of '?' entries. There are a few other bugs that are triggered if the unwinder encounters a stack overflow after the first step, but they are outside the scope of this fix. Signed-off-by:

[ Note, this is a Git cherry-pick of the following commit: d17a1d97: ("x86/mm/kasan: don't use vmemmap_populate() to initialize shadow") ... for easier x86 PTI code testing and back-porting. ] The KASAN shadow is currently mapped using vmemmap_populate() since that provides a semi-convenient way to map pages into init_top_pgt. However, since that no longer zeroes the mapped pages, it is not suitable for KASAN, which requires zeroed shadow memory. Add kasan_populate_shadow() interface and use it instead of vmemmap_populate(). Besides, this allows us to take advantage of gigantic pages and use them to populate the shadow, which should save us some memory wasted on page tables and reduce TLB pressure.
