[PATCH v2 for 5.2 08/12] rseq/selftests: arm: use udf instruction for RSEQ_SIG

flat view
STALE2680d

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Date: 2019-05-03 19:39:10
Also in: linux-kselftest, lkml
Subsystem: kernel selftest framework, restartable sequences support, the rest · Maintainers: Shuah Khan, Shuah Khan, Mathieu Desnoyers, Peter Zijlstra, "Paul E. McKenney", Boqun Feng, Linus Torvalds

Use udf as the guard instruction for the restartable sequence abort
handler.

Previously, the chosen signature was not a valid instruction, based
on the assumption that it could always sit in a literal pool. However,
there are compilation environments in which literal pools are not
available, for instance execute-only code. Therefore, we need to
choose a signature value that is also a valid instruction.

Handle compiling with -mbig-endian on ARMv6+, which generates binaries
with mixed code vs data endianness (little endian code, big endian
data).

Else mismatch between code endianness for the generated signatures and
data endianness for the RSEQ_SIG parameter passed to the rseq
registration will trigger application segmentation faults when the
kernel try to abort rseq critical sections.

Prior to ARMv6, -mbig-endian generates big-endian code and data, so
endianness should not be reversed in that case.

+/*
+ * RSEQ_SIG uses the udf A32 instruction with an uncommon immediate operand
+ * value 0x5de3. This traps if user-space reaches this instruction by mistake,
+ * and the uncommon operand ensures the kernel does not move the instruction
+ * pointer to attacker-controlled code on rseq abort.
+ *
+ * The instruction pattern in the A32 instruction set is:
+ *
+ * e7f5def3    udf    #24035    ; 0x5de3
+ *
+ * This translates to the following instruction pattern in the T16 instruction
+ * set:
+ *
+ * little endian:
+ * def3        udf    #243      ; 0xf3
+ * e7f5        b.n    <7f5>
+ *
+ * pre-ARMv6 big endian code:
+ * e7f5        b.n    <7f5>
+ * def3        udf    #243      ; 0xf3
+ *
+ * ARMv6+ -mbig-endian generates mixed endianness code vs data: little-endian
+ * code and big-endian data. Ensure the RSEQ_SIG data signature matches code
+ * endianness. Prior to ARMv6, -mbig-endian generates big-endian code and data
+ * (which match), so there is no need to reverse the endianness of the data
+ * representation of the signature. However, the choice between BE32 and BE8
+ * is done by the linker, so we cannot know whether code and data endianness
+ * will be mixed before the linker is invoked.
