Subject: [PATCH v5 00/23] x86: text_poke() fixes and executable lockdowns
Yet another version, per PeterZ request, addressing the latest feedback.
This patchset improves several overlapping issues around stale TLB
entries and W^X violations. It is combined from "x86/alternative:
text_poke() enhancements v7" [1] and "Don't leave executable TLB entries
to freed pages v2" [2] patchsets that were conflicting.
The related issues that this fixes:
1. Fixmap PTEs that are used for patching are available for access from
other cores and might be exploited. They are not even flushed from
the TLB in remote cores, so the risk is even higher. Address this
issue by introducing a temporary mm that is only used during
patching. Unfortunately, due to init ordering, fixmap is still used
during boot-time patching. Future patches can eliminate the need for
it.
2. Missing lockdep assertion to ensure text_mutex is taken. It is
actually not always taken, so fix the instances that were found not
to take the lock (although they should be safe even without taking
the lock).
3. Module_alloc returning memory that is RWX until a module is finished
loading.
4. Sometimes when memory is freed via the module subsystem, an
executable permissioned TLB entry can remain to a freed page. If the
page is re-used to back an address that will receive data from
userspace, it can result in user data being mapped as executable in
the kernel. The root of this behavior is vfree lazily flushing the
TLB, but not lazily freeing the underlying pages.
Changes v4 to v5:
- Change temporary state variable name [Borislav]
- Commit log and comment fixes [Borislav]
Changes v3 to v4:
- Remove the size parameter from tramp_free() [Steven]
- Remove caching of hw_breakpoint_active() [Sean]
- Prevent the use of bpf_probe_write_user() while using temporary mm [Jann]
- Fix build issues on other archs
Changes v2 to v3:
- Fix commit messages and comments [Boris]
- Rename VM_HAS_SPECIAL_PERMS [Boris]
- Remove unnecessary local variables [Boris]
- Rename set_alias_*() functions [Boris, Andy]
- Save/restore DR registers when using temporary mm
- Move line deletion from patch 10 to patch 17
Changes v1 to v2:
- Adding "Reviewed-by tag" [Masami]
- Comment instead of code to warn against module removal while
patching [Masami]
- Avoiding open-coded TLB flush [Andy]
- Remove "This patch" [Borislav Petkov]
- Not set global bit during text poking [Andy, hpa]
- Add Ack from [Pavel Machek]
- Split patch 16 "Plug in new special vfree flag" into 4 patches (16-19)
to make it easier to review. There were no code changes.
The changes from "Don't leave executable TLB entries to freed pages
v2" to v1:
- Add support for case of hibernate trying to save an unmapped page
on the directmap. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- No week arch breakout for vfree-ing special memory (Andy Lutomirski)
- Avoid changing deferred free code by moving modules init free to work
queue (Andy Lutomirski)
- Plug in new flag for kprobes and ftrace
- More arch generic names for set_pages functions (Ard Biesheuvel)
- Fix for TLB not always flushing the directmap (Nadav Amit)
Changes from "x86/alternative: text_poke() enhancements v7" to v1
- Fix build failure on CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n (Rick)
- Remove text_poke usage from ftrace (Nadav)
