      arm64: add support for kernel ASLR · f80fb3a3
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      

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)

      arm64: add support for building vmlinux as a relocatable PIE binary · 1e48ef7f
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, which links the final vmlinux
image with a dynamic relocation section, allowing the early boot code
to perform a relocation to a different virtual address at runtime.

This is a prerequisite for KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE).

      arm64: add support for module PLTs · fd045f6c
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      

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.

      arm64: mm: support ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS · 8f0d3aa9
      Daniel Cashman authored 
      

arm64: arch_mmap_rnd() uses STACK_RND_MASK to generate the random offset
for the mmap base address.  This value represents a compromise between
increased ASLR effectiveness and avoiding address-space fragmentation.
Replace it with a Kconfig option, which is sensibly bounded, so that
platform developers may choose where to place this compromise.  Keep
default values as new minimums.

      arm64: Make 36-bit VA depend on EXPERT · 56a3f30e
      Catalin Marinas authored 
      

Commit 21539939 (arm64: 36 bit VA) introduced 36-bit VA support for
the arm64 kernel when the 16KB page configuration is enabled. While this
is a valid hardware configuration, it's not something we want to
encourage since it reduces the memory (and I/O) range that the kernel
can access. Make this depend on EXPERT to avoid complaints of Linux not
mapping the whole RAM, especially on platforms following the ARM
recommended memory map.

      arm64: add KASAN support · 39d114dd
      Andrey Ryabinin authored 
      

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.

      arm64: fix a migrating irq bug when hotplug cpu · 217d453d
      Yang Yingliang authored 
      

When cpu is disabled, all irqs will be migratged to another cpu.
In some cases, a new affinity is different, the old affinity need
to be updated and if irq_set_affinity's return value is IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_DONE,
the old affinity can not be updated. Fix it by using irq_do_set_affinity.

And migrating interrupts is a core code matter, so use the generic
function irq_migrate_all_off_this_cpu() to migrate interrupts in
kernel/irq/migration.c.

      arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419 · df057cc7
      Will Deacon authored 
      

Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can
lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences
headed by an ADRP instruction.

There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but
this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF
objects.

This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled,
builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute
addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as
a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the
module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules.
