x86: make ZERO_PAGE() at least parse its argument

2019-04-29T16:51:29Z

This doesn't really do anything, but at least we now parse teh ZERO_PAGE() address argument so that we'll catch the most obvious errors in usage next time they'll happen. See commit 6a5c5d26c4c6 ("rdma: fix build errors on s390 and MIPS due to bad ZERO_PAGE use") what happens when we don't have any use of the macro argument at all. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

x86/mm: Make set_pmd_at() paravirt aware

2019-02-10T07:47:12Z

set_pmd_at() calls native_set_pmd() unconditionally on x86. This was fine as long as only huge page entries were written via set_pmd_at(), as Xen pv guests don't support those. Commit 2c91bd4a4e2e53 ("mm: speed up mremap by 20x on large regions") introduced a usage of set_pmd_at() possible on pv guests, leading to failures like: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff888023e26778 #PF error: [PROT] [WRITE] RIP: e030:move_page_tables+0x7c1/0xae0 move_vma.isra.3+0xd1/0x2d0 __se_sys_mremap+0x3c6/0x5b0 do_syscall_64+0x49/0x100 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Make set_pmd_at() paravirt aware by just letting it use set_pmd().

x86/mm: Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting PTEs

2018-09-08T10:30:36Z

When page-table entries are set, the compiler might optimize their assignment by using multiple instructions to set the PTE. This might turn into a security hazard if the user somehow manages to use the interim PTE. L1TF does not make our lives easier, making even an interim non-present PTE a security hazard. Using WRITE_ONCE() to set PTEs and friends should prevent this potential security hazard. I skimmed the differences in the binary with and without this patch. The differences are (obviously) greater when CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n as more code optimizations are possible. For better and worse, the impact on the binary with this patch is pretty small. Skimming the code did not cause anything to jump out as a security hazard, but it seems that at least move_soft_dirty_pte() caused set_pte_at() to use multiple writes.

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or other reserved bits set. If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present and accessible. While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of loading the data and making it available to other speculative instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack. While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism. The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646 The mitigations provided by this pull request include: - Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory. - Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER. - SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs - Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs - Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of mitigations. Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways - patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes heated, but at the end constructive discussions. There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their complexity and limitations" * 'l1tf-final' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (75 commits) x86/microcode: Allow late microcode loading with SMT disabled tools headers: Synchronise x86 cpufeatures.h for L1TF additions x86/mm/kmmio: Make the tracer robust against L1TF x86/mm/pat: Make set_memory_np() L1TF safe x86/speculation/l1tf: Make pmd/pud_mknotpresent() invert x86/speculation/l1tf: Invert all not present mappings cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation KVM: VMX: Tell the nested hypervisor to skip L1D flush on vmentry x86/speculation: Use ARCH_CAPABILITIES to skip L1D flush on vmentry x86/speculation: Simplify sysfs report of VMX L1TF vulnerability Documentation/l1tf: Remove Yonah processors from not vulnerable list x86/KVM/VMX: Don't set l1tf_flush_l1d from vmx_handle_external_intr() x86/irq: Let interrupt handlers set kvm_cpu_l1tf_flush_l1d x86: Don't include linux/irq.h from asm/hardirq.h x86/KVM/VMX: Introduce per-host-cpu analogue of l1tf_flush_l1d x86/irq: Demote irq_cpustat_t::__softirq_pending to u16 x86/KVM/VMX: Move the l1tf_flush_l1d test to vmx_l1d_flush() x86/KVM/VMX: Replace 'vmx_l1d_flush_always' with 'vmx_l1d_flush_cond' x86/KVM/VMX: Don't set l1tf_flush_l1d to true from vmx_l1d_flush() cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS ...

x86/mm/pti: Move user W+X check into pti_finalize()

2018-08-10T19:12:45Z

The user page-table gets the updated kernel mappings in pti_finalize(), which runs after the RO+X permissions got applied to the kernel page-table in mark_readonly(). But with CONFIG_DEBUG_WX enabled, the user page-table is already checked in mark_readonly() for insecure mappings. This causes false-positive warnings, because the user page-table did not get the updated mappings yet. Move the W+X check for the user page-table into pti_finalize() after it updated all required mappings.

x86/speculation/l1tf: Make pmd/pud_mknotpresent() invert

2018-08-08T07:23:44Z

Some cases in THP like: - MADV_FREE - mprotect - split mark the PMD non present for temporarily to prevent races. The window for an L1TF attack in these contexts is very small, but it wants to be fixed for correctness sake. Use the proper low level functions for pmd/pud_mknotpresent() to address this.
