2019-05-28arm64/module: revert to unsigned interpretation of ABS16/32 relocationsArd Biesheuvel
Commit 1cf24a2cc3fd ("arm64/module: deal with ambiguity in PRELxx relocation ranges") updated the overflow checking logic in the relocation handling code to ensure that PREL16/32 relocations don't overflow signed quantities. However, the same code path is used for absolute relocations, where the interpretation is the opposite: the only current use case for absolute relocations operating on non-native word size quantities is the CRC32 handling in the CONFIG_MODVERSIONS code, and these CRCs are unsigned 32-bit quantities, which are now being rejected by the module loader if bit 31 happens to be set. So let's use different ranges for quanties subject to absolute vs. relative relocations: - ABS16/32 relocations should be in the range [0, Uxx_MAX) - PREL16/32 relocations should be in the range [Sxx_MIN, Sxx_MAX) - otherwise, print an error since no other 16 or 32 bit wide data relocations are currently supported.

2019-05-23arm64/module: deal with ambiguity in PRELxx relocation rangesArd Biesheuvel
The R_AARCH64_PREL16 and R_AARCH64_PREL32 relocations are documented as permitting a range of [-2^15 .. 2^16), resp. [-2^31 .. 2^32). It is also documented that this means we cannot detect overflow in some cases, which is bad. Since we always interpret the targets of these relocations as signed quantities (e.g., in the ksymtab handling code), let's tighten the overflow checks so that targets that are out of range for our signed interpretation of the relocated quantity get flagged.

2019-05-23arm64/kernel: kaslr: reduce module randomization range to 2 GBArd Biesheuvel
The following commit 7290d5809571 ("module: use relative references for __ksymtab entries") updated the ksymtab handling of some KASLR capable architectures so that ksymtab entries are emitted as pairs of 32-bit relative references. This reduces the size of the entries, but more importantly, it gets rid of statically assigned absolute addresses, which require fixing up at boot time if the kernel is self relocating (which takes a 24 byte RELA entry for each member of the ksymtab struct). Since ksymtab entries are always part of the same module as the symbol they export, it was assumed at the time that a 32-bit relative reference is always sufficient to capture the offset between a ksymtab entry and its target symbol. Unfortunately, this is not always true: in the case of per-CPU variables, a per-CPU variable's base address (which usually differs from the actual address of any of its per-CPU copies) is allocated in the vicinity of the ..data.percpu section in the core kernel (i.e., in the per-CPU reserved region which follows the section containing the core kernel's statically allocated per-CPU variables). Since we randomize the module space over a 4 GB window covering the core kernel (based on the -/+ 4 GB range of an ADRP/ADD pair), we may end up putting the core kernel out of the -/+ 2 GB range of 32-bit relative references of module ksymtab entries that refer to per-CPU variables. So reduce the module randomization range a bit further. We lose 1 bit of randomization this way, but this is something we can tolerate.

Now that we have switched to the small code model entirely, and reduced the extended KASLR range to 4 GB, we can be sure that the targets of relative branches that are out of range are in range for a ADRP/ADD pair, which is one instruction shorter than our current MOVN/MOVK/MOVK sequence, and is more idiomatic and so it is more likely to be implemented efficiently by micro-architectures. So switch over the ordinary PLT code and the special handling of the Cortex-A53 ADRP errata, as well as the ftrace trampline handling.

2018-11-20arm64/module: use plt section indices for relocationsJessica Yu
Instead of saving a pointer to the .plt and .init.plt sections to apply plt-based relocations, save and use their section indices instead. The mod->arch.{core,init}.plt pointers were problematic for livepatch because they pointed within temporary section headers (provided by the module loader via info->sechdrs) that would be freed after module load. Since livepatch modules may need to apply relocations post-module-load (for example, to patch a module that is loaded later), using section indices to offset into the section headers (instead of accessing them through a saved pointer) allows livepatch modules on arm64 to pass in their own copy of the section headers to apply_relocate_add() to apply delayed relocations.

2018-03-09arm64/kernel: don't ban ADRP to work around Cortex-A53 erratum #843419Ard Biesheuvel
Working around Cortex-A53 erratum #843419 involves special handling of ADRP instructions that end up in the last two instruction slots of a 4k page, or whose output register gets overwritten without having been read. (Note that the latter instruction sequence is never emitted by a properly functioning compiler, which is why it is disregarded by the handling of the same erratum in the bfd.ld linker which we rely on for the core kernel) Normally, this gets taken care of by the linker, which can spot such sequences at final link time, and insert a veneer if the ADRP ends up at a vulnerable offset. However, linux kernel modules are partially linked ELF objects, and so there is no 'final link time' other than the runtime loading of the module, at which time all the static relocations are resolved. For this reason, we have implemented the #843419 workaround for modules by avoiding ADRP instructions altogether, by using the large C model, and by passing -mpc-relative-literal-loads to recent versions of GCC that may emit adrp/ldr pairs to perform literal loads. However, this workaround forces us to keep literal data mixed with the instructions in the executable .text segment, and literal data may inadvertently turn into an exploitable speculative gadget depending on the relative offsets of arbitrary symbols. So let's reimplement this workaround in a way that allows us to switch back to the small C model, and to drop the -mpc-relative-literal-loads GCC switch, by patching affected ADRP instructions at runtime: - ADRP instructions that do not appear at 4k relative offset 0xff8 or 0xffc are ignored - ADRP instructions that are within 1 MB of their target symbol are converted into ADR instructions - remaining ADRP instructions are redirected via a veneer that performs the load using an unaffected movn/movk sequence.

2018-03-08arm64/kernel: kaslr: reduce module randomization range to 4 GBArd Biesheuvel
We currently have to rely on the GCC large code model for KASLR for two distinct but related reasons: - if we enable full randomization, modules will be loaded very far away from the core kernel, where they are out of range for ADRP instructions, - even without full randomization, the fact that the 128 MB module region is now no longer fully reserved for kernel modules means that there is a very low likelihood that the normal bottom-up allocation of other vmalloc regions may collide, and use up the range for other things. Large model code is suboptimal, given that each symbol reference involves a literal load that goes through the D-cache, reducing cache utilization. But more importantly, literals are not instructions but part of .text nonetheless, and hence mapped with executable permissions. So let's get rid of our dependency on the large model for KASLR, by: - reducing the full randomization range to 4 GB, thereby ensuring that ADRP references between modules and the kernel are always in range, - reduce the spillover range to 4 GB as well, so that we fallback to a region that is still guaranteed to be in range - move the randomization window of the core kernel to the middle of the VMALLOC space Note that KASAN always uses the module region outside of the vmalloc space, so keep the kernel close to that if KASAN is enabled.

2018-03-08arm64: module: don't BUG when exceeding preallocated PLT countArd Biesheuvel
When PLTs are emitted at relocation time, we really should not exceed the number that we counted when parsing the relocation tables, and so currently, we BUG() on this condition. However, even though this is a clear bug in this particular piece of code, we can easily recover by failing to load the module. So instead, return 0 from module_emit_plt_entry() if this condition occurs, which is not a valid kernel address, and can hence serve as a flag value that makes the relocation routine bail out.

2017-04-26arm64: module: split core and init PLT sectionsArd Biesheuvel
The arm64 module PLT code allocates all PLT entries in a single core section, since the overhead of having a separate init PLT section is not justified by the small number of PLT entries usually required for init code. However, the core and init module regions are allocated independently, and there is a corner case where the core region may be allocated from the VMALLOC region if the dedicated module region is exhausted, but the init region, being much smaller, can still be allocated from the module region. This leads to relocation failures if the distance between those regions exceeds 128 MB. (In fact, this corner case is highly unlikely to occur on arm64, but the issue has been observed on ARM, whose module region is much smaller). So split the core and init PLT regions, and name the latter ".init.plt" so it gets allocated along with (and sufficiently close to) the .init sections that it serves. Also, given that init PLT entries may need to be emitted for branches that target the core module, modify the logic that disregards defined symbols to only disregard symbols that are defined in the same section as the relocated branch instruction. Since there may now be two PLT entries associated with each entry in the symbol table, we can no longer hijack the symbol::st_size fields to record the addresses of PLT entries as we emit them for zero-addend relocations. So instead, perform an explicit comparison to check for duplicate entries. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2016-02-24arm64: add support for kernel ASLRArd Biesheuvel
This adds support for KASLR is implemented, based on entropy provided by the bootloader in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property. Depending on the size of the address space (VA_BITS) and the page size, the entropy in the virtual displacement is up to 13 bits (16k/2 levels) and up to 25 bits (all 4 levels), with the sidenote that displacements that result in the kernel image straddling a 1GB/32MB/512MB alignment boundary (for 4KB/16KB/64KB granule kernels, respectively) are not allowed, and will be rounded up to an acceptable value. If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is enabled, the module region is randomized independently from the core kernel. This makes it less likely that the location of core kernel data structures can be determined by an adversary, but causes all function calls from modules into the core kernel to be resolved via entries in the module PLTs. If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not enabled, the module region is randomized by choosing a page aligned 128 MB region inside the interval [_etext - 128 MB, _stext + 128 MB). This gives between 10 and 14 bits of entropy (depending on page size), independently of the kernel randomization, but still guarantees that modules are within the range of relative branch and jump instructions (with the caveat that, since the module region is shared with other uses of the vmalloc area, modules may need to be loaded further away if the module region is exhausted) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2016-02-24arm64: add support for module PLTsArd Biesheuvel
This adds support for emitting PLTs at module load time for relative branches that are out of range. This is a prerequisite for KASLR, which may place the kernel and the modules anywhere in the vmalloc area, making it more likely that branch target offsets exceed the maximum range of +/- 128 MB. In this version, I removed the distinction between relocations against .init executable sections and ordinary executable sections. The reason is that it is hardly worth the trouble, given that .init.text usually does not contain that many far branches, and this version now only reserves PLT entry space for jump and call relocations against undefined symbols (since symbols defined in the same module can be assumed to be within +/- 128 MB) For example, the mac80211.ko module (which is fairly sizable at ~400 KB) built with -mcmodel=large gives the following relocation counts: relocs branches unique !local .text 3925 3347 518 219 .init.text 11 8 7 1 .exit.text 4 4 4 1 .text.unlikely 81 67 36 17 ('unique' means branches to unique type/symbol/addend combos, of which !local is the subset referring to undefined symbols) IOW, we are only emitting a single PLT entry for the .init sections, and we are better off just adding it to the core PLT section instead.

2015-10-12arm64: add KASAN supportAndrey Ryabinin
This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer (see Documentation/kasan.txt). 1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. There was no big enough hole for this, so virtual addresses for shadow were stolen from vmalloc area. At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just one physical page (kasan_zero_page). Later, this page reused as readonly zero shadow for some memory that KASan currently don't track (vmalloc). After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are allocated and mapped. Functions like memset/memmove/memcpy do a lot of memory accesses. If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important to catch this. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since these functions are written in assembly. KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants. Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases with '__' prefix in name, so we could call non-instrumented variant if needed. Some files built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c). Original mem* function replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants to disable memory access checks for such files.

Guard hole in shadow memory should be a problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory at address occupied by guard hole. So we could fail to allocate shadow for module_alloc(). Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into __vmalloc_node_range().
