arm64: entry: Allow the trampoline text to occupy multiple pages

2022-04-02T10:41:09Z

commit a9c406e6462ff14956d690de7bbe5131a5677dc9 upstream. Adding a second set of vectors to .entry.tramp.text will make it larger than a single 4K page. Allow the trampoline text to occupy up to three pages by adding two more fixmap slots. Previous changes to tramp_valias allowed it to reach beyond a single page.

KVM: arm64: Add kvm_extable for vaxorcism code

2020-09-09T17:03:12Z

commit e9ee186bb735bfc17fa81dbc9aebf268aee5b41e upstream. KVM has a one instruction window where it will allow an SError exception to be consumed by the hypervisor without treating it as a hypervisor bug. This is used to consume asynchronous external abort that were caused by the guest. As we are about to add another location that survives unexpected exceptions, generalise this code to make it behave like the host's extable. KVM's version has to be mapped to EL2 to be accessible on nVHE systems. The SError vaxorcism code is a one instruction window, so has two entries in the extable. Because the KVM code is copied for VHE and nVHE, we end up with four entries, half of which correspond with code that isn't mapped.

arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement sequences

2020-07-22T07:22:21Z

[ Upstream commit f7b93d42945cc71e1346dd5ae07c59061d56745e ] When building very large kernels, the logic that emits replacement sequences for alternatives fails when relative branches are present in the code that is emitted into the .altinstr_replacement section and patched in at the original site and fixed up. The reason is that the linker will insert veneers if relative branches go out of range, and due to the relative distance of the .altinstr_replacement from the .text section where its branch targets usually live, veneers may be emitted at the end of the .altinstr_replacement section, with the relative branches in the sequence pointed at the veneers instead of the actual target. The alternatives patching logic will attempt to fix up the branch to point to its original target, which will be the veneer in this case, but given that the patch site is likely to be far away as well, it will be out of range and so patching will fail. There are other cases where these veneers are problematic, e.g., when the target of the branch is in .text while the patch site is in .init.text, in which case putting the replacement sequence inside .text may not help either. So let's use subsections to emit the replacement code as closely as possible to the patch site, to ensure that veneers are only likely to be emitted if they are required at the patch site as well, in which case they will be in range for the replacement sequence both before and after it is transported to the patch site. This will prevent alternative sequences in non-init code from being released from memory after boot, but this is tolerable given that the entire section is only 512 KB on an allyesconfig build (which weighs in at 500+ MB for the entire Image). Also, note that modules today carry the replacement sequences in non-init sections as well, and any of those that target init code will be emitted into init sections after this change. This fixes an early crash when booting an allyesconfig kernel on a system where any of the alternatives sequences containing relative branches are activated at boot (e.g., ARM64_HAS_PAN on TX2) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Cc: Suzuki K Poulose Cc: James Morse Cc: Andre Przywara Cc: Dave P Martin Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200630081921.13443-1-ardb@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

arm64: relocatable: fix inconsistencies in linker script and options

2019-01-13T09:01:06Z

commit 3bbd3db86470c701091fb1d67f1fab6621debf50 upstream. readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR): readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section. readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section. Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate) PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well. - Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd, the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the same time. - Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings above). - Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of ld.bfd. - Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout. These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary image. [0] b9dce7f1ba01 ("arm64: kernel: force ET_DYN ELF type for ...")

arm64: kaslr: Put kernel vectors address in separate data page

2018-02-16T19:22:48Z

Commit 6c27c4082f4f upstream. The literal pool entry for identifying the vectors base is the only piece of information in the trampoline page that identifies the true location of the kernel. This patch moves it into a page-aligned region of the .rodata section and maps this adjacent to the trampoline text via an additional fixmap entry, which protects against any accidental leakage of the trampoline contents.

Commit c7b9adaf85f8 upstream. To allow unmapping of the kernel whilst running at EL0, we need to point the exception vectors at an entry trampoline that can map/unmap the kernel on entry/exit respectively. This patch adds the trampoline page, although it is not yet plugged into the vector table and is therefore unused.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

arm64: add basic VMAP_STACK support

2017-08-15T17:36:04Z

This patch enables arm64 to be built with vmap'd task and IRQ stacks. As vmap'd stacks are mapped at page granularity, stacks must be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. This means that a 64K page kernel must use stacks of at least 64K in size. To minimize the increase in Image size, IRQ stacks are dynamically allocated at boot time, rather than embedding the boot CPU's IRQ stack in the kernel image.

arm64: efi: split Image code and data into separate PE/COFF sections

2017-04-04T16:50:59Z

To prevent unintended modifications to the kernel text (malicious or otherwise) while running the EFI stub, describe the kernel image as two separate sections: a .text section with read-execute permissions, covering .text, .rodata and .init.text, and a .data section with read-write permissions, covering .init.data, .data and .bss. This relies on the firmware to actually take the section permission flags into account, but this is something that is currently being implemented in EDK2, which means we will likely start seeing it in the wild between one and two years from now.
