Compilers with branch protection support can be configured to enable it by default, it is likely that distributions will do this as part of deploying branch protection system wide. As well as the slight overhead from having some extra NOPs for unused branch protection features this can cause more serious problems when the kernel is providing pointer authentication to userspace but not built for pointer authentication itself. In that case our switching of keys for userspace can affect the kernel unexpectedly, causing pointer authentication instructions in the kernel to corrupt addresses. To ensure that we get consistent and reliable behaviour always explicitly initialise the branch protection mode, ensuring that the kernel is built the same way regardless of the compiler defaults.

Recent addition of ARM64_PTR_AUTH exposed a mismatch issue with binutils. 9.1+ versions of gcc inserts a section note .note.gnu.property but this can be used properly by binutils version greater than 2.33.1. If older binutils are used then the following warnings are generated, aarch64-linux-ld: warning: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000 aarch64-linux-objdump: warning: arch/arm64/lib/csum.o: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000 aarch64-linux-nm: warning: .tmp_vmlinux1: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000 This patch enables ARM64_PTR_AUTH when gcc and binutils versions are compatible with each other. Older gcc which do not insert such section continue to work as before. This scenario may not occur with clang as a recent commit 3b446c7d ("arm64: Kconfig: verify binutils support for ARM64_PTR_AUTH") masks binutils version lesser then 2.34. Reported-by:

Commit dcde2373 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap()") changed mremap() so that only the 'old' address is untagged, leaving the 'new' address in the form it was passed from userspace. This prevents the unexpected creation of aliasing virtual mappings in userspace, but looks a bit odd when you read the code. Add a comment justifying the untagging behaviour in mremap(). Reported-by:

This test is specific for arm64. When in-kernel Pointer Authentication config is enabled, the return address stored in the stack is signed. This feature helps in ROP kind of attack. If any parameters used to generate the pac (<key, sp, lr>) is modified then this will fail in the authentication stage and will lead to abort. This test changes the input parameter APIA kernel keys to cause abort. The pac computed from the new key can be same as last due to hash collision so this is retried for few times as there is no reliable way to compare the pacs. Even though this test may fail even after retries but this may cause authentication failure at a later stage in earlier function returns. This test can be invoked as, echo CORRUPT_PAC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT or as below if inserted as a module, insmod lkdtm.ko cpoint_name=DIRECT cpoint_type=CORRUPT_PAC cpoint_count=1 [ 13.118166] lkdtm: Performing direct entry CORRUPT_PAC [ 13.118298] lkdtm: Clearing PAC from the return address [ 13.118466] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bfff8000108648ec [ 13.118626] Mem abort info: [ 13.118666] ESR = 0x86000004 [ 13.118866] EC = 0x21: IABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 13.118966] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 13.119117] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Signed-off-by:

Compile all functions with two ptrauth instructions: PACIASP in the prologue to sign the return address, and AUTIASP in the epilogue to authenticate the return address (from the stack). If authentication fails, the return will cause an instruction abort to be taken, followed by an oops and killing the task. This should help protect the kernel against attacks using return-oriented programming. As ptrauth protects the return address, it can also serve as a replacement for CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR, although note that it does not protect other parts of the stack. The new instructions are in the HINT encoding space, so on a system without ptrauth they execute as NOPs. CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH now not only enables ptrauth for userspace and KVM guests, but also automatically builds the kernel with ptrauth instructions if the compiler supports it. If there is no compiler support, we do not warn that the kernel was built without ptrauth instructions. GCC 7 and 8 support the -msign-return-address option, while GCC 9 deprecates that option and replaces it with -mbranch-protection. Support both options. Clang uses an external assembler hence this patch makes sure that the correct parameters (-march=armv8.3-a) are passed down to help it recognize the ptrauth instructions. Ftrace function tracer works properly with Ptrauth only when patchable-function-entry feature is present and is ensured by the Kconfig dependency.

When we enable pointer authentication in the kernel, LR values saved to the stack will have a PAC which we must strip in order to retrieve the real return address. Strip PACs when unwinding the stack in order to account for this. When function graph tracer is used with patchable-function-entry then return_to_handler will also have pac bits so strip it too.

Functions like vmap() record how much memory has been allocated by their callers, and callers are identified using __builtin_return_address(). Once the kernel is using pointer-auth the return address will be signed. This means it will not match any kernel symbol, and will vary between threads even for the same caller. The output of /proc/vmallocinfo in this case may look like, 0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____) 20480 0x86e28000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4 0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____) 20480 0x86e28000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4 0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____) 20480 0xc5c78000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4 The above three 64bit values should be the same symbol name and not different LR values. Use the pre-processor to add logic to clear the PAC to __builtin_return_address() callers. This patch adds a new file asm/compiler.h and is transitively included via include/compiler_types.h on the compiler command line so it is guaranteed to be loaded and the users of this macro will not find a wrong version. Helper macros ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask/ptrauth_clear_pac are created for this purpose and added in this file. Existing macro ptrauth_user_pac_mask moved from asm/pointer_auth.h. Signed-off-by:

This patch uses the existing boot_init_stack_canary arch function to initialize the ptrauth keys for the booting task in the primary core. The requirement here is that it should be always inline and the caller must never return. As pointer authentication too detects a subset of stack corruption so it makes sense to place this code here. Both pointer authentication and stack canary codes are protected by their respective config option. Suggested-by:

Set up keys to use pointer authentication within the kernel. The kernel will be compiled with APIAKey instructions, the other keys are currently unused. Each task is given its own APIAKey, which is initialized during fork. The key is changed during context switch and on kernel entry from EL0. The keys for idle threads need to be set before calling any C functions, because it is not possible to enter and exit a function with different keys. Reviewed-by:

When the kernel is compiled with pointer auth instructions, the boot CPU needs to start using address auth very early, so change the cpucap to account for this. Pointer auth must be enabled before we call C functions, because it is not possible to enter a function with pointer auth disabled and exit it with pointer auth enabled. Note, mismatches between architected and IMPDEF algorithms will still be caught by the cpufeature framework (the separate *_ARCH and *_IMP_DEF cpucaps). Note the change in behavior: if the boot CPU has address auth and a late CPU does not, then the late CPU is parked by the cpufeature framework. This is possible as kernel will only have NOP space intructions for PAC so such mismatched late cpu will silently ignore those instructions in C functions. Also, if the boot CPU does not have address auth and the late CPU has then the late cpu will still boot but with ptrauth feature disabled. Leave generic authentication as a "system scope" cpucap for now, since initially the kernel will only use address authentication. Reviewed-by:

Each system capability can be of either boot, local, or system scope, depending on when the state of the capability is finalized. When we detect a conflict on a late CPU, we either offline the CPU or panic the system. We currently always panic if the conflict is caused by a boot scope capability, and offline the CPU if the conflict is caused by a local or system scope capability. We're going to want to add a new capability (for pointer authentication) which needs to be boot scope but doesn't need to panic the system when a conflict is detected. So add a new flag to specify whether the capability requires the system to panic or not. Current boot scope capabilities are updated to set the flag, so there should be no functional change as a result of this patch. Signed-off-by:

These helpers are used only by functions inside cpufeature.c and hence makes sense to be moved from cpufeature.h to cpufeature.c as they are not expected to be used globally. This change helps in reducing the header file size as well as to add future cpu capability types without confusion. Only a cpu capability type macro is sufficient to expose those capabilities globally. Signed-off-by:

This patch allows __cpu_setup to be invoked with one of these flags, ARM64_CPU_BOOT_PRIMARY, ARM64_CPU_BOOT_SECONDARY or ARM64_CPU_RUNTIME. This is required as some cpufeatures need different handling during different scenarios. The input parameter in x0 is preserved till the end to be used inside this function. There should be no functional change with this patch and is useful for the subsequent ptrauth patch which utilizes it. Some upcoming arm cpufeatures can also utilize these flags. Suggested-by:

We currently enable ptrauth for userspace, but do not use it within the kernel. We're going to enable it for the kernel, and will need to manage a separate set of ptrauth keys for the kernel. We currently keep all 5 keys in struct ptrauth_keys. However, as the kernel will only need to use 1 key, it is a bit wasteful to allocate a whole ptrauth_keys struct for every thread. Therefore, a subsequent patch will define a separate struct, with only 1 key, for the kernel. In preparation for that, rename the existing struct (and associated macros and functions) to reflect that they are specific to userspace. Acked-by:

To enable pointer auth for the kernel, we're going to need to check for the presence of address auth and generic auth using alternative_if. We currently have two cpucaps for each, but alternative_if needs to check a single cpucap. So define meta-capabilities that are present when either of the current two capabilities is present. Leave the existing four cpucaps in place, as they are still needed to check for mismatched systems where one CPU has the architected algorithm but another has the IMP DEF algorithm. Note, the meta-capabilities were present before but were removed in commit a56005d3 ("arm64: cpufeature: Reduce number of pointer auth CPU caps from 6 to 4") and commit 1e013d06 ("arm64: cpufeature: Rework ptr auth hwcaps using multi_entry_cap_matches"), as they were not needed then. Note, unlike before, the current patch checks the cpucap values directly, instead of reading the CPU ID register value. Reviewed-by:

Some existing/future meta cpucaps match need the presence of individual cpucaps. Currently the individual cpucaps checks it via an array based flag and this introduces dependency on the array entry order. This limitation exists only for system scope cpufeature. This patch introduces an internal helper function (__system_matches_cap) to invoke the matching handler for system scope. This helper has to be used during a narrow window when, - The system wide safe registers are set with all the SMP CPUs and, - The SYSTEM_FEATURE cpu_hwcaps may not have been set. Normal users should use the existing cpus_have_{const_}cap() global function. Suggested-by:

At present ARMv8 event counters are limited to 32-bits, though by using the CHAIN event it's possible to combine adjacent counters to achieve 64-bits. The perf config1:0 bit can be set to use such a configuration. With the introduction of ARMv8.5-PMU support, all event counters can now be used as 64-bit counters. Let's enable 64-bit event counters where support exists. Unless the user sets config1:0 we will adjust the counter value such that it overflows upon 32-bit overflow. This follows the same behaviour as the cycle counter which has always been (and remains) 64-bits. Signed-off-by:

We currently expose the PMU version of the host to the guest via emulation of the DFR0_EL1 and AA64DFR0_EL1 debug feature registers. However many of the features offered beyond PMUv3 for 8.1 are not supported in KVM. Examples of this include support for the PMMIR registers (added in PMUv3 for ARMv8.4) and 64-bit event counters added in (PMUv3 for ARMv8.5). Let's trap the Debug Feature Registers in order to limit PMUVer/PerfMon in the Debug Feature Registers to PMUv3 for ARMv8.1 to avoid unexpected behaviour. Both ID_AA64DFR0.PMUVer and ID_DFR0.PerfMon follow the "Alternative ID scheme used for the Performance Monitors Extension version" where 0xF means an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED PMU is implemented, and values 0x0-0xE are treated as with an unsigned field (with 0x0 meaning no PMU is present). As we don't expect to expose an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED PMU, and our cap is below 0xF, we can treat these fields as unsigned when applying the cap. Signed-off-by:

When emulating ID registers there is often a need to cap the version bits of a feature such that the guest will not use features that the host is not aware of. For example, when KVM mediates access to the PMU by emulating register accesses. Let's add a helper that extracts a performance monitors ID field and caps the version to a given value. Fields that identify the version of the Performance Monitors Extension do not follow the standard ID scheme, and instead follow the scheme described in ARM DDI 0487E.a page D13-2825 "Alternative ID scheme used for the Performance Monitors Extension version". The value 0xF means an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED PMU is present, and values 0x0-OxE can be treated the same as an unsigned field with 0x0 meaning no PMU is present. Signed-off-by:

Reading this code bordered on painful, what with all the repetition and pointless return values. More fundamentally, dribbling the hardware enables and disables in one bit at a time incurs needless system register overhead for chained events and on reset. We already use bitmask values for the KVM hooks, so consolidate all the register accesses to match, and make a reasonable saving in both source and object code. Signed-off-by:

snprintf() is a hard-to-use function, it's especially difficult to use it for concatenating substrings in a buffer with a limited size. Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size, not the actual size, the subsequent use of snprintf() may point to the incorrect position easily. Although the current code doesn't actually overflow the buffer, it's an incorrect usage. This patch replaces such snprintf() calls with a safer version, scnprintf(). Acked-by:
