Guenter Roeck reported breakage on the h8300 and c6x architectures (among others) caused by the new memory protection keys syscalls. This patch does what Arnd suggested and adds them to kernel/sys_ni.c.

This code should be a good demonstration of how to use the new system calls as well as how to use protection keys in general. This code shows how to: 1. Manipulate the Protection Keys Rights User (PKRU) register 2. Set a protection key on memory 3. Fetch and/or modify PKRU from the signal XSAVE state 4. Read the kernel-provided protection key in the siginfo 5. Set up an execute-only mapping There are currently 13 tests: test_read_of_write_disabled_region test_read_of_access_disabled_region test_write_of_write_disabled_region test_write_of_access_disabled_region test_kernel_write_of_access_disabled_region test_kernel_write_of_write_disabled_region test_kernel_gup_of_access_disabled_region test_kernel_gup_write_to_write_disabled_region test_executing_on_unreadable_memory test_ptrace_of_child test_pkey_syscalls_on_non_allocated_pkey test_pkey_syscalls_bad_args test_pkey_alloc_exhaust Each of the tests is run with plain memory (via mmap(MAP_ANON)), transparent huge pages, and hugetlb.

As discussed in the previous patch, there is a reliability benefit to allowing an init value for the Protection Keys Rights User register (PKRU) which differs from what the XSAVE hardware provides. But, having PKRU be 0 (its init value) provides some nonzero amount of optimization potential to the hardware. It can, for instance, skip writes to the XSAVE buffer when it knows that PKRU is in its init state. The cost of losing this optimization is approximately 100 cycles per context switch for a workload which lightly using XSAVE state (something not using AVX much). The overhead comes from a combinaation of actually manipulating PKRU and the overhead of pullin in an extra cacheline. This overhead is not huge, but it's also not something that I think we should unconditionally inflict on everyone. So, make it configurable both at boot-time and from debugfs. Changes to the debugfs value affect all processes created after the write to debugfs.

PKRU is the register that lets you disallow writes or all access to a given protection key. The XSAVE hardware defines an "init state" of 0 for PKRU: its most permissive state, allowing access/writes to everything. Since we start off all new processes with the init state, we start all processes off with the most permissive possible PKRU. This is unfortunate. If a thread is clone()'d [1] before a program has time to set PKRU to a restrictive value, that thread will be able to write to all data, no matter what pkey is set on it. This weakens any integrity guarantees that we want pkeys to provide. To fix this, we define a very restrictive PKRU to override the XSAVE-provided value when we create a new FPU context. We choose a value that only allows access to pkey 0, which is as restrictive as we can practically make it. This does not cause any practical problems with applications using protection keys because we require them to specify initial permissions for each key when it is allocated, which override the restrictive default. In the end, this ensures that threads which do not know how to manage their own pkey rights can not do damage to data which is pkey-protected. I would have thought this was a pretty contrived scenario, except that I heard a bug report from an MPX user who was creating threads in some very early code before main(). It may be crazy, but folks evidently _do_ it.

These new syscalls are implemented as generic code, so enable them for architectures like arm64 which use the generic syscall table. According to Arnd: Even if the support is x86 specific for the forseeable future, it may be good to reserve the number just in case. The other architecture specific syscall lists are usually left to the individual arch maintainers, most a lot of the newer architectures share this table.

This patch adds two new system calls: int pkey_alloc(unsigned long flags, unsigned long init_access_rights) int pkey_free(int pkey); These implement an "allocator" for the protection keys themselves, which can be thought of as analogous to the allocator that the kernel has for file descriptors. The kernel tracks which numbers are in use, and only allows operations on keys that are valid. A key which was not obtained by pkey_alloc() may not, for instance, be passed to pkey_mprotect(). These system calls are also very important given the kernel's use of pkeys to implement execute-only support. These help ensure that userspace can never assume that it has control of a key unless it first asks the kernel. The kernel does not promise to preserve PKRU (right register) contents except for allocated pkeys. The 'init_access_rights' argument to pkey_alloc() specifies the rights that will be established for the returned pkey. For instance: pkey = pkey_alloc(flags, PKEY_DENY_WRITE); will allocate 'pkey', but also sets the bits in PKRU[1] such that writing to 'pkey' is already denied. The kernel does not prevent pkey_free() from successfully freeing in-use pkeys (those still assigned to a memory range by pkey_mprotect()). It would be expensive to implement the checks for this, so we instead say, "Just don't do it" since sane software will never do it anyway. Any piece of userspace calling pkey_alloc() needs to be prepared for it to fail. Why? pkey_alloc() returns the same error code (ENOSPC) when there are no pkeys and when pkeys are unsupported. They can be unsupported for a whole host of reasons, so apps must be prepared for this. Also, libraries or LD_PRELOADs might steal keys before an application gets access to them. This allocation mechanism could be implemented in userspace. Even if we did it in userspace, we would still need additional user/kernel interfaces to tell userspace which keys are being used by the kernel internally (such as for execute-only mappings). Having the kernel provide this facility completely removes the need for these additional interfaces, or having an implementation of this in userspace at all. Note that we have to make changes to all of the architectures that do not use mman-common.h because we use the new PKEY_DENY_ACCESS/WRITE macros in arch-independent code. 1. PKRU is the Protection Key Rights User register. It is a usermode-accessible register that controls whether writes and/or access to each individual pkey is allowed or denied.

Today, mprotect() takes 4 bits of data: PROT_READ/WRITE/EXEC/NONE. Three of those bits: READ/WRITE/EXEC get translated directly in to vma->vm_flags by calc_vm_prot_bits(). If a bit is unset in mprotect()'s 'prot' argument then it must be cleared in vma->vm_flags during the mprotect() call. We do this clearing today by first calculating the VMA flags we want set, then clearing the ones we do not want to inherit from the original VMA: vm_flags = calc_vm_prot_bits(prot, key); ... newflags = vm_flags; newflags |= (vma->vm_flags & ~(VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC)); However, we *also* want to mask off the original VMA's vm_flags in which we store the protection key. To do that, this patch adds a new macro: ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS which allows the architecture to specify additional bits that it would like cleared. We use that to ensure that the VM_PKEY_BIT* bits get cleared.

pkey_mprotect() is just like mprotect, except it also takes a protection key as an argument. On systems that do not support protection keys, it still works, but requires that key=0. Otherwise it does exactly what mprotect does. I expect it to get used like this, if you want to guarantee that any mapping you create can *never* be accessed without the right protection keys set up. int real_prot = PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE; pkey = pkey_alloc(0, PKEY_DENY_ACCESS); ptr = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); ret = pkey_mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, real_prot, pkey); This way, there is *no* window where the mapping is accessible since it was always either PROT_NONE or had a protection key set that denied all access. We settled on 'unsigned long' for the type of the key here. We only need 4 bits on x86 today, but I figured that other architectures might need some more space. Semantically, we have a bit of a problem if we combine this syscall with our previously-introduced execute-only support: What do we do when we mix execute-only pkey use with pkey_mprotect() use? For instance: pkey_mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE, 6); // set pkey=6 mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_EXEC); // set pkey=X_ONLY_PKEY? mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE); // is pkey=6 again? To solve that, we make the plain-mprotect()-initiated execute-only support only apply to VMAs that have the default protection key (0) set on them. Proposed semantics: 1. protection key 0 is special and represents the default, "unassigned" protection key. It is always allocated. 2. mprotect() never affects a mapping's pkey_mprotect()-assigned protection key. A protection key of 0 (even if set explicitly) represents an unassigned protection key. 2a. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) on a mapping with an assigned protection key may or may not result in a mapping with execute-only properties. pkey_mprotect() plus pkey_set() on all threads should be used to _guarantee_ execute-only semantics if this is not a strong enough semantic. 3. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) may result in an "execute-only" mapping. The kernel will internally attempt to allocate and dedicate a protection key for the purpose of execute-only mappings. This may not be possible in cases where there are no free protection keys available. It can also happen, of course, in situations where there is no hardware support for protection keys.

PF_PK means that a memory access violated the protection key access restrictions. It is unconditionally an access_error() because the permissions set on the VMA don't matter (the PKRU value overrides it), and we never "resolve" PK faults (like how a COW can "resolve write fault).

And because I thought it wouldn't happen, I added a warning if you ever saw a pts node that wasn't on devpts. And no, that warning never triggered under any actual real use, but you can trigger it by creating nonsensical pts nodes by hand. So just revert the warning, and make devpts_get_priv() return NULL for that case like it used to.

Commit e647b532 ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure") introduced code that allows inserting driver specific struct acpi_probe_entry probe entries into ACPI linker sections (one per-subsystem, eg irqchip, clocksource) that are then walked to retrieve the data and function hooks required to probe the respective kernel components. Probing for all entries in a section is triggered through the __acpi_probe_device_table() function, that in turn, according to the table ID a given probe entry reports parses the table with the function retrieved from the respective section structures (ie struct acpi_probe_entry). Owing to the current ACPI table parsing implementation, the __acpi_probe_device_table() function has to share global variables with the acpi_match_madt() function, so in order to guarantee mutual exclusion locking is required between the two functions. Current kernel code implements the locking through the acpi_probe_lock spinlock; this has the side effect of requiring all code called within the lock (ie struct acpi_probe_entry.probe_{table/subtbl} hooks) not to sleep. However, kernel subsystems that make use of the early probing infrastructure are relying on kernel APIs that may sleep (eg irq_domain_alloc_fwnode(), among others) in the function calls pointed at by struct acpi_probe_entry.{probe_table/subtbl} entries (eg gic_v2_acpi_init()), which is a bug. Since __acpi_probe_device_table() is called from context that is allowed to sleep the acpi_probe_lock spinlock can be replaced with a mutex; this fixes the issue whilst still guaranteeing mutual exclusion.

When the ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY macro was added in commit e647b532 ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure"), a stub macro adding an unused entry was added for the !CONFIG_ACPI Kconfig option case to make sure kernel code making use of the macro did not require to be guarded within CONFIG_ACPI in order to be compiled. The stub macro was never used since all kernel code that defines ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY entries is currently guarded within CONFIG_ACPI; it contains a typo that should be nonetheless fixed. Fix the typo in the stub (ie !CONFIG_ACPI) ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY() macro so that it can actually be used if needed.

AMD F12h machines have an erratum which can cause DIV/IDIV to behave unpredictably.

Łukasz Daniluk reported that on a RHEL kernel that his machine would lock up after enabling function tracer. I asked him to bisect the functions within available_filter_functions, which he did and it came down to three: _paravirt_nop(), _paravirt_ident_32() and _paravirt_ident_64() It was found that this is only an issue when noreplace-paravirt is added to the kernel command line. This means that those functions are most likely called within critical sections of the funtion tracer, and must not be traced. In newer kenels _paravirt_nop() is defined within gcc asm(), and is no longer an issue. But both _paravirt_ident_{32,64}() causes the following splat when they are traced: mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff8800d2435150(0000000001d00054) mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff8800d3624190(0000000001d00070) mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff8800d36a5110(0000000001d00054) mm/pgtable-generic.c:33: bad pmd ffff880118eb1450(0000000001d00054) NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 22s!

Changes to make the resume from cpu_suspend() code behave more like secondary boot caused debug exceptions to be unmasked early by __cpu_setup(). We then go on to restore mdscr_el1 in cpu_do_resume(), potentially taking break or watch points based on uninitialised registers. Mask debug exceptions in cpu_do_resume(), which is specific to resume from cpu_suspend(). Debug exceptions will be restored to their original state by local_dbg_restore() in cpu_suspend(), which runs after hw_breakpoint_restore() has re-initialised the other registers.
