2013-08-11ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like pageRussell King
commit 48be69a026b2c17350a5ef18a1959a919f60be7d upstream. Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in the vectors page. This allows us to place them randomly within this page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks. The new VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2013-08-11ARM: allow kuser helpers to be removed from the vector pageRussell King
commit f6f91b0d9fd971c630cef908dde8fe8795aefbf8 upstream. Provide a kernel configuration option to allow the kernel user helpers to be removed from the vector page, thereby preventing their use with ROP (return orientated programming) attacks. This option is only visible for CPU architectures which natively support all the operations which kernel user helpers would normally provide, and must be enabled with caution.

2013-08-11ARM: move vector stubsRussell King
commit 19accfd373847ac3d10623c5d20f948846299741 upstream. Move the machine vector stubs into the page above the vector page, which we can prevent from being visible to userspace. Also move the reset stub, and place the swi vector at a location that the 'ldr' can get to it. This hides pointers into the kernel which could give valuable information to attackers, and reduces the number of exploitable instructions at a fixed address.

2013-08-11ARM: poison the vectors pageRussell King
commit f928d4f2a86f46b030fa0850385b4391fc2b5918 upstream. Fill the empty regions of the vectors page with an exception generating instruction. This ensures that any inappropriate branch to the vector page is appropriately trapped, rather than just encountering some code to execute. (The vectors page was filled with zero before, which corresponds with the "andeq r0, r0, r0" instruction - a no-op.)

2013-04-30dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviorsTejun Heo
Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the backtrace while the two are identical on other archs. The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong, so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which triggered dump_stack(). There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information. This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand. Debug information can be printed separately by calling dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack() implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used in blackfin. This patch brings the following behavior changes. * On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be printed. This is because the top frame was determined in dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not sure whether that'd be necessary. * Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do now. An example WARN dump follows. WARNING: at kernel/workqueue.c:4841 init_workqueues+0x35/0x505() Hardware name: empty Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.9.0-rc1-work+ #9 0000000000000009 ffff88007c861e08 ffffffff81c614dc ffff88007c861e48 ffffffff8108f50f ffffffff82228240 0000000000000040 ffffffff8234a03c 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffff88007c861e58 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81c614dc>] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [<ffffffff8108f50f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff8108f56a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff8234a071>] init_workqueues+0x35/0x505 ... v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390 folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation. dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file, dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack() - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info() as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1 The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue.

2012-07-31ARM: Fix undefined instruction exception handlingRussell King
While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling. This is because of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is supposed to point to. The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at the _next_ instruction to be executed. However, if the exception is not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction. This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and previous instructions are separated by four bytes. This is not true of Thumb2 though. Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy. We just need to select the appropriate adjustment. Do this by moving the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit instruction.

We can't be holding the mmap_sem while calling flush_cache_user_range because the flush can fault. If we fault on a user address, the page fault handler will try to take mmap_sem again. Since both places acquire the read lock, most of the time it succeeds. However, if another thread tries to acquire the write lock on the mmap_sem (e.g. mmap) in between the call to flush_cache_user_range and the fault, the down_read in do_page_fault will deadlock.

2011-10-17ARM: 7017/1: Use generic BUG() handlerSimon Glass
ARM uses its own BUG() handler which makes its output slightly different from other archtectures. One of the problems is that the ARM implementation doesn't report the function with the BUG() in it, but always reports the PC being in __bug(). The generic implementation doesn't have this problem. Currently we get something like: kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35! Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ... PC is at __bug+0x20/0x2c With this patch it displays: kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35! Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ... PC is at write_breakme+0xd0/0x1b4 This implementation uses an undefined instruction to implement BUG, and sets up a bug table containing the relevant information. Many versions of gcc do not support %c properly for ARM (inserting a # when they shouldn't) so we work around this using distasteful macro magic. v1: Initial version to replace existing ARM BUG() implementation with something more similar to other architectures. v2: Add Thumb support, remove backtrace whitespace output changes.

PTRACE_SINGLESTEP is a ptrace request designed to offer single-stepping support to userspace when the underlying architecture has hardware support for this operation. On ARM, we set arch_has_single_step() to 1 and attempt to emulate hardware single-stepping by disassembling the current instruction to determine the next pc and placing a software breakpoint on that location. Unfortunately this has the following problems: 1.) Only a subset of ARMv7 instructions are supported 2.) Thumb-2 is unsupported 3.) The code is not SMP safe We could try to fix this code, but it turns out that because of the above issues it is rarely used in practice. GDB, for example, uses PTRACE_POKETEXT and PTRACE_PEEKTEXT to manage breakpoints itself and does not require any kernel assistance. This patch removes the single-step emulation code from ptrace meaning that the PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request will return -EIO on ARM. Portable code must check the return value from a ptrace call and handle the failure gracefully.

2011-02-15ARM: 6674/1: LPAE: use long long format when printing physical addresses and ↵Will Deacon
ptes For the Kernel to support 2 level and 3 level page tables, physical addresses (and also page table entries) need to be 32 or 64-bits depending upon the configuration. This patch uses the %08llx conversion specifier for physical addresses and page table entries, ensuring that they are cast to (long long) so that common code can be used regardless of the datatype widths.

2010-11-04ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUsCatalin Marinas
This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and __switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register. Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory. Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to the LDR/STR ones. The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register (CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page isn't possible. The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok() function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

2010-07-09ARM: 6207/1: Replace CONFIG_HAS_TLS_REG with HWCAP_TLS and check for it on V6Tony Lindgren
The TLS register is only available on ARM1136 r1p0 and later. Set HWCAP_TLS flags if hardware TLS is available and test for it if CONFIG_CPU_32v6K is not set for V6. Note that we set the TLS instruction in __kuser_get_tls dynamically as suggested by Jamie Lokier <jamie@shareable.org>. Also the __switch_to code is optimized out in most cases as suggested by Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>.

2009-10-25ARM: Fix signal restart issues with NX and OABI compatRussell King
The signal restarting code was placed on the user stack when OABI compatibility is enabled. Unfortunately, with an EABI NX executable, this results in an attempt to run code from the non-executable stack, which segfaults the application. Fix this by placing the code in the vectors page, along side the signal return code, and directing the application to that code.
