x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try

2020-05-20T06:11:54Z

commit a9a3ed1eff3601b63aea4fb462d8b3b92c7c1e7e upstream. ... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the function which generates the stack canary value. The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel built with gcc-10: Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139 Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013 Call Trace: dump_stack panic ? start_secondary __stack_chk_fail start_secondary secondary_startup_64 -—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the boot_init_stack_canary() call. To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which generates the stack canary with: __attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused) however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options. The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs. The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with -fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm(""). This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?) optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the compiler cannot ignore or move around etc. That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other two solutions too so...

Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized

2020-05-20T06:11:49Z

commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream. We have some rather random rules about when we accept the "maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't. For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES). And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did. At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings. So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the extra compiler warnings, use W=123". Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not? Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and our source code would be simpler. That's currently not the world we live in, though.

kbuild: compute false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized cases in Kconfig

2020-05-20T06:11:49Z

commit b303c6df80c9f8f13785aa83a0471fca7e38b24d upstream. Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched various false positives: - commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os") turned off this option for -Os. - commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES - commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC < 4.9 Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903 I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.

commit c6c314a613cd7d03fb97713e0d642b493de42e69 upstream. There are a few places in the kernel that access stack memory belonging to a different task. Before we can start freeing task stacks before the task_struct is freed, we need a way for those code paths to pin the stack.

sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into task_struct

2019-12-21T09:35:04Z

commit c65eacbe290b8141554c71b2c94489e73ade8c8d upstream. If an arch opts in by setting CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT, then thread_info is defined as a single 'u32 flags' and is the first entry of task_struct. thread_info::task is removed (it serves no purpose if thread_info is embedded in task_struct), and thread_info::cpu gets its own slot in task_struct.

init: initialize jump labels before command line option parsing

2019-05-16T17:45:06Z

[ Upstream commit 6041186a32585fc7a1d0f6cfe2f138b05fdc3c82 ] When a module option, or core kernel argument, toggles a static-key it requires jump labels to be initialized early. While x86, PowerPC, and ARM64 arrange for jump_label_init() to be called before parse_args(), ARM does not. Kernel command line: rdinit=/sbin/init page_alloc.shuffle=1 panic=-1 console=ttyAMA0,115200 page_alloc.shuffle=1 ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at ./include/linux/jump_label.h:303 page_alloc_shuffle+0x12c/0x1ac static_key_enable(): static key 'page_alloc_shuffle_key+0x0/0x4' used before call to jump_label_init() Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.1.0-rc4-next-20190410-00003-g3367c36ce744 #1 Hardware name: ARM Integrator/CP (Device Tree) [] (unwind_backtrace) from [] (show_stack+0x10/0x18) [] (show_stack) from [] (dump_stack+0x18/0x24) [] (dump_stack) from [] (__warn+0xe0/0x108) [] (__warn) from [] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x44/0x6c) [] (warn_slowpath_fmt) from [] (page_alloc_shuffle+0x12c/0x1ac) [] (page_alloc_shuffle) from [] (shuffle_store+0x28/0x48) [] (shuffle_store) from [] (parse_args+0x1f4/0x350) [] (parse_args) from [] (start_kernel+0x1c0/0x488) Move the fallback call to jump_label_init() to occur before parse_args().

Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE definition

2018-06-06T14:46:23Z

commit 877417e6ffb9578e8580abf76a71e15732473456 upstream. CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE disables the often useful -Wmaybe-unused warning, because that causes a ridiculous amount of false positives when combined with -Os. This means a lot of warnings don't show up in testing by the developers that should see them with an 'allmodconfig' kernel that has CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE enabled, but only later in randconfig builds that don't. This changes the Kconfig logic around CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE to make it a 'choice' statement defaulting to CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE that gets added for this purpose. The allmodconfig and allyesconfig kernels now default to -O2 with the maybe-unused warning enabled.

bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config

2018-02-03T16:04:24Z

[ upstream commit 290af86629b25ffd1ed6232c4e9107da031705cb ] The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715. A quote from goolge project zero blog: "At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying. So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets." To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode. So far eBPF JIT is supported by: x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64 The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only. In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden v2->v3: - move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel) v1->v2: - fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback) - fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback) - add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog->bpf_func - retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk. It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next Considered doing: int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT; but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place and remove this jit_init() function.

kaiser: stack map PAGE_SIZE at THREAD_SIZE-PAGE_SIZE

2018-01-05T14:44:23Z

Kaiser only needs to map one page of the stack; and kernel/fork.c did not build on powerpc (no __PAGE_KERNEL). It's all cleaner if linux/kaiser.h provides kaiser_map_thread_stack() and kaiser_unmap_thread_stack() wrappers around asm/kaiser.h's kaiser_add_mapping() and kaiser_remove_mapping(). And use linux/kaiser.h in init/main.c to avoid the #ifdefs there. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins Acked-by: Jiri Kosina Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

KAISER: Kernel Address Isolation

2018-01-05T14:44:23Z

This patch introduces our implementation of KAISER (Kernel Address Isolation to have Side-channels Efficiently Removed), a kernel isolation technique to close hardware side channels on kernel address information. More information about the patch can be found on: https://github.com/IAIK/KAISER From: Richard Fellner From: Daniel Gruss X-Subject: [RFC, PATCH] x86_64: KAISER - do not map kernel in user mode Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 14:26:50 +0200 Link: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=149390087310405&w=2 Kaiser-4.10-SHA1: c4b1831d44c6144d3762ccc72f0c4e71a0c713e5 To: To: Cc: Cc: Cc: Michael Schwarz Cc: Richard Fellner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Cc: After several recent works [1,2,3] KASLR on x86_64 was basically considered dead by many researchers. We have been working on an efficient but effective fix for this problem and found that not mapping the kernel space when running in user mode is the solution to this problem [4] (the corresponding paper [5] will be presented at ESSoS17). With this RFC patch we allow anybody to configure their kernel with the flag CONFIG_KAISER to add our defense mechanism. If there are any questions we would love to answer them. We also appreciate any comments!
