commit b4afe4183ec77f230851ea139d91e5cf2644c68b upstream.

On a system with CXL memory, the resource tree (/proc/iomem) related to
CXL memory may look like something as follows.

490000000-50fffffff : CXL Window 0
  490000000-50fffffff : region0
    490000000-50fffffff : dax0.0
      490000000-50fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

Because drivers/dax/kmem.c calls add_memory_driver_managed() during
onlining CXL memory, which makes "System RAM (kmem)" a descendant of "CXL
Window X".  This confuses region_intersects(), which expects all "System
RAM" resources to be at the top level of iomem_resource.  This can lead to
bugs.

For example, when the following command line is executed to write some
memory in CXL memory range via /dev/mem,

 $ dd if=data of=/dev/mem bs=$((1 &lt;&lt; 10)) seek=$((0x490000000 &gt;&gt; 10)) count=1
 dd: error writing '/dev/mem': Bad address
 1+0 records in
 0+0 records out
 0 bytes copied, 0.0283507 s, 0.0 kB/s

the command fails as expected.  However, the error code is wrong.  It
should be "Operation not permitted" instead of "Bad address".  More
seriously, the /dev/mem permission checking in devmem_is_allowed() passes
incorrectly.  Although the accessing is prevented later because ioremap()
isn't allowed to map system RAM, it is a potential security issue.  During
command executing, the following warning is reported in the kernel log for
calling ioremap() on system RAM.

 ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000490000000 - 0x0000000490000fff
 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 416 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:216 __ioremap_caller.constprop.0+0x131/0x35d
 Call Trace:
  memremap+0xcb/0x184
  xlate_dev_mem_ptr+0x25/0x2f

  ksys_write+0xac/0xfe
  do_syscall_64+0x9a/0xfd
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53

The details of command execution process are as follows.  In the above
resource tree, "System RAM" is a descendant of "CXL Window 0" instead of a
top level resource.  So, region_intersects() will report no System RAM
resources in the CXL memory region incorrectly, because it only checks the
top level resources.  Consequently, devmem_is_allowed() will return 1
(allow access via /dev/mem) for CXL memory region incorrectly.
Fortunately, ioremap() doesn't allow to map System RAM and reject the
access.

So, region_intersects() needs to be fixed to work correctly with the
resource tree with "System RAM" not at top level as above.  To fix it, if
we found a unmatched resource in the top level, we will continue to search
matched resources in its descendant resources.  So, we will not miss any
matched resources in resource tree anymore.

In the new implementation, an example resource tree

|------------- "CXL Window 0" ------------|
|-- "System RAM" --|

will behave similar as the following fake resource tree for
region_intersects(, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM, ),

|-- "System RAM" --||-- "CXL Window 0a" --|

Where "CXL Window 0a" is part of the original "CXL Window 0" that
isn't covered by "System RAM".

<title>x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end of the physical memory address space</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cfcd89ed9c57d29197ecc9cee030e6488551c6e6</id>

commit ea72ce5da22806d5713f3ffb39a6d5ae73841f93 upstream.

iounmap() on x86 occasionally fails to unmap because the provided valid
ioremap address is not below high_memory. It turned out that this
happens due to KASLR.

KASLR uses the full address space between PAGE_OFFSET and vaddr_end to
randomize the starting points of the direct map, vmalloc and vmemmap
regions.  It thereby limits the size of the direct map by using the
installed memory size plus an extra configurable margin for hot-plug
memory.  This limitation is done to gain more randomization space
because otherwise only the holes between the direct map, vmalloc,
vmemmap and vaddr_end would be usable for randomizing.

The limited direct map size is not exposed to the rest of the kernel, so
the memory hot-plug and resource management related code paths still
operate under the assumption that the available address space can be
determined with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

request_free_mem_region() allocates from (1 &lt;&lt; MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) - 1
downwards.  That means the first allocation happens past the end of the
direct map and if unlucky this address is in the vmalloc space, which
causes high_memory to become greater than VMALLOC_START and consequently
causes iounmap() to fail for valid ioremap addresses.

MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS cannot be changed for that because the randomization
does not align with address bit boundaries and there are other places
which actually require to know the maximum number of address bits.  All
remaining usage sites of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS have been analyzed and found
to be correct.

Cure this by exposing the end of the direct map via PHYSMEM_END and use
that for the memory hot-plug and resource management related places
instead of relying on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. In the KASLR case PHYSMEM_END
maps to a variable which is initialized by the KASLR initialization and
otherwise it is based on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS as before.

To prevent future hickups add a check into add_pages() to catch callers
trying to add memory above PHYSMEM_END.

This function, being a variant of walk_system_ram_res() introduced in
commit 8c86e70acead ("resource: provide new functions to walk through
resources"), walks through a list of all the resources of System RAM in
reversed order, i.e., from higher to lower.

It will be used in kexec_file code to load kernel, initrd etc when
preparing kexec reboot.

Currently get_free_mem_region() searches for available capacity
in increments equal to the region size being requested. This can
cause the search to take giant steps through the resource leaving
needless gaps and missing available space.

Specifically 'cxl create-region' fails with ERANGE even though capacity
of the given size and CXL's expected 256M x InterleaveWays alignment can
be satisfied.

Replace the total-request-size increment with a next alignment increment
so that the next possible address is always examined for availability.

While experimenting with CXL region removal the following corruption of
/proc/iomem appeared.

Before:
f010000000-f04fffffff : CXL Window 0
  f010000000-f02fffffff : region4
    f010000000-f02fffffff : dax4.0
      f010000000-f02fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

After (modprobe -r cxl_test):
f010000000-f02fffffff : **redacted binary garbage**
  f010000000-f02fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

...and testing further the same is visible with persistent memory
assigned to kmem:

Before:
480000000-243fffffff : Persistent Memory
  480000000-57e1fffff : namespace3.0
  580000000-243fffffff : dax3.0
    580000000-243fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

After (ndctl disable-region all):
480000000-243fffffff : Persistent Memory
  580000000-243fffffff : ***redacted binary garbage***
    580000000-243fffffff : System RAM (kmem)

The corrupted data is from a use-after-free of the "dax4.0" and "dax3.0"
resources, and it also shows that the "System RAM (kmem)" resource is
not being removed. The bug does not appear after "modprobe -r kmem", it
requires the parent of "dax4.0" and "dax3.0" to be removed which
re-parents the leaked "System RAM (kmem)" instances. Those in turn
reference the freed resource as a parent.

First up for the fix is release_mem_region_adjustable() needs to
reliably delete the resource inserted by add_memory_driver_managed().
That is thwarted by a check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM that predates the
dax/kmem driver, from commit:

65c78784135f ("kernel, resource: check for IORESOURCE_SYSRAM in release_mem_region_adjustable")

That appears to be working around the behavior of HMM's
"MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC" facility that has since been deleted. With that
check removed the "System RAM (kmem)" resource gets removed, but
corruption still occurs occasionally because the "dax" resource is not
reliably removed.

The dax range information is freed before the device is unregistered, so
the driver can not reliably recall (another use after free) what it is
meant to release. Lastly if that use after free got lucky, the driver
was covering up the leak of "System RAM (kmem)" due to its use of
release_resource() which detaches, but does not free, child resources.
The switch to remove_resource() forces remove_memory() to be responsible
for the deletion of the resource added by add_memory_driver_managed().

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

PCI config space access from user space has traditionally been
unrestricted with writes being an understood risk for device operation.

Unfortunately, device breakage or odd behavior from config writes lacks
indicators that can leave driver writers confused when evaluating
failures.  This is especially true with the new PCIe Data Object
Exchange (DOE) mailbox protocol where backdoor shenanigans from user
space through things such as vendor defined protocols may affect device
operation without complete breakage.

A prior proposal restricted read and writes completely.[1]  Greg and
Bjorn pointed out that proposal is flawed for a couple of reasons.
First, lspci should always be allowed and should not interfere with any
device operation.  Second, setpci is a valuable tool that is sometimes
necessary and it should not be completely restricted.[2]  Finally
methods exist for full lock of device access if required.

Even though access should not be restricted it would be nice for driver
writers to be able to flag critical parts of the config space such that
interference from user space can be detected.

Introduce pci_request_config_region_exclusive() to mark exclusive config
regions.  Such regions trigger a warning and kernel taint if accessed
via user space.

Create pci_warn_once() to restrict the user from spamming the log.
