[PATCH v11 0/9] powerpc: Further Strict RWX support

Adding more Strict RWX support on powerpc, in particular Strict Module RWX.
Thanks for all of the feedback everyone.
It is now rebased on linux-next.

For reference the previous revision is available here: 
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20210330045132.722243-1-jniethe5@gmail.com/

The changes in v11 for each patch:

Christophe Leroy (2):
  powerpc/mm: implement set_memory_attr()
  powerpc/32: use set_memory_attr()

Jordan Niethe (4):
  powerpc/lib/code-patching: Set up Strict RWX patching earlier
  powerpc: Always define MODULES_{VADDR,END}

From: Russell Currey <redacted>

The set_memory_{ro/rw/nx/x}() functions are required for
STRICT_MODULE_RWX, and are generally useful primitives to have.  This
implementation is designed to be generic across powerpc's many MMUs.
It's possible that this could be optimised to be faster for specific
MMUs.

This implementation does not handle cases where the caller is attempting
to change the mapping of the page it is executing from, or if another
CPU is concurrently using the page being altered.  These cases likely
shouldn't happen, but a more complex implementation with MMU-specific code
could safely handle them.

On hash, the linear mapping is not kept in the linux pagetable, so this
will not change the protection if used on that range. Currently these
functions are not used on the linear map so just WARN for now.

setup_text_poke_area() is a late init call so it runs before
mark_rodata_ro() and after the init calls. This lets all the init code
patching simply write to their locations. In the future, kprobes is
going to allocate its instruction pages RO which means they will need
setup_text__poke_area() to have been already called for their code
patching. However, init_kprobes() (which allocates and patches some
instruction pages) is an early init call so it happens before
setup_text__poke_area().

start_kernel() calls poking_init() before any of the init calls. On
powerpc, poking_init() is currently a nop. setup_text_poke_area() relies
on kernel virtual memory, cpu hotplug and per_cpu_areas being setup.
setup_per_cpu_areas(), boot_cpu_hotplug_init() and mm_init() are called
before poking_init().

Turn setup_text_poke_area() into poking_init().

If MODULES_{VADDR,END} are not defined set them to VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_END respectively. This reduces the need for special cases. For
example, powerpc's module_alloc() was previously predicated on
MODULES_VADDR being defined but now is unconditionally defined.

This will be useful reducing conditional code in other places that need
to allocate from the module region (i.e., kprobes).

Commit 74451e66d516 ("bpf: make jited programs visible in traces") added
a default bpf_jit_free() implementation. Powerpc did not use the default
bpf_jit_free() as powerpc did not set the images read-only. The default
bpf_jit_free() called bpf_jit_binary_unlock_ro() is why it could not be
used for powerpc.

Commit d53d2f78cead ("bpf: Use vmalloc special flag") moved keeping
track of read-only memory to vmalloc. This included removing
bpf_jit_binary_unlock_ro(). Therefore there is no reason powerpc needs
its own bpf_jit_free(). Remove it.

add exec permissions to the JIT image after it has finished being

Without CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX the image will be writable and

From: Russell Currey <redacted>

To enable strict module RWX on powerpc, set:

    CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y

You should also have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y set to have any real
security benefit.

ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set to require ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
This is due to a quirk in arch/Kconfig and arch/powerpc/Kconfig that
makes STRICT_MODULE_RWX *on by default* in configurations where
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is *unavailable*.

Since this doesn't make much sense, and module RWX without kernel RWX
doesn't make much sense, having the same dependencies as kernel RWX
works around this problem.

With STRICT_MODULE_RWX, now make module_alloc() allocate pages with

From: Christophe Leroy <redacted>

In addition to the set_memory_xx() functions which allows to change
the memory attributes of not (yet) used memory regions, implement a
set_memory_attr() function to:
- set the final memory protection after init on currently used
kernel regions.
- enable/disable kernel memory regions in the scope of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

Unlike the set_memory_xx() which can act in three step as the regions
are unused, this function must modify 'on the fly' as the kernel is
executing from them. At the moment only PPC32 will use it and changing
page attributes on the fly is not an issue.

From: Christophe Leroy <redacted>

Use set_memory_attr() instead of the PPC32 specific change_page_attr()

change_page_attr() was checking that the address was not mapped by
blocks and was handling highmem, but that's unneeded because the
affected pages can't be in highmem and block mapping verification
is already done by the callers.

setup_text_poke_area() is a late init call so it runs before
mark_rodata_ro() and after the init calls. This lets all the init code
patching simply write to their locations. In the future, kprobes is
going to allocate its instruction pages RO which means they will need
setup_text__poke_area() to have been already called for their code
patching. However, init_kprobes() (which allocates and patches some
instruction pages) is an early init call so it happens before
setup_text__poke_area().

start_kernel() calls poking_init() before any of the init calls. On
powerpc, poking_init() is currently a nop. setup_text_poke_area() relies
on kernel virtual memory, cpu hotplug and per_cpu_areas being setup.
setup_per_cpu_areas(), boot_cpu_hotplug_init() and mm_init() are called
before poking_init().

Turn setup_text_poke_area() into poking_init().

I can't remember, maybe I already asked the question:
Have you done some performance measurement or at least some performance analysis ?

No no.

TASK_SIZE > MODULES_VADDR is ALWAYS wrong, for any target, in any configuration.

Why is it a problem to leave the test as a BUILD_BUG_ON() in module_alloc() ?

Shouldn't it be an || ?

As soon as either MODULES_VADDR or MODULES_END differs from the vmalloc boundaries, it needs to be 
done I think.

Not valid anymore, see https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/commit/80edc68e0479 and 
https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/commit/9132a2e82adc

The best would be to be able to do something like:

#if MODULES_VADDR != VMALLOC_START

If it doesn't work, then it has to be

#if defined(CONFIG_BOOK32_32) || defined(CONFIG_PPC_8xx)

Same.

  	address_markers[i++].start_address = MODULES_VADDR;
  	address_markers[i++].start_address = MODULES_END;

If MODULES_{VADDR,END} are not defined set them to VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_END respectively. This reduces the need for special cases. For
example, powerpc's module_alloc() was previously predicated on
MODULES_VADDR being defined but now is unconditionally defined.

This will be useful reducing conditional code in other places that need
to allocate from the module region (i.e., kprobes).

No no.

TASK_SIZE > MODULES_VADDR is ALWAYS wrong, for any target, in any configuration.

Why is it a problem to leave the test as a BUILD_BUG_ON() in module_alloc() ?

On ppc64s, MODULES_VADDR is __vmalloc_start (a variable)  and
TASK_SIZE depends on current.
Also for nohash like 44x, MODULES_VADDR is defined based on high_memory.
If I put it back in module_alloc() and wrap it with #ifdef
CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_32 will that be fine?

Yeah

As soon as either MODULES_VADDR or MODULES_END differs from the vmalloc boundaries, it needs to be
done I think.

The best would be to be able to do something like:

#if MODULES_VADDR != VMALLOC_START

I tried to do it like that originally but with stuff like
#define VMALLOC_START ((((long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET) &
~(VMALLOC_OFFSET-1)))
it doesn't work.

If it doesn't work, then it has to be

#if defined(CONFIG_BOOK32_32) || defined(CONFIG_PPC_8xx)

If MODULES_{VADDR,END} are not defined set them to VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_END respectively. This reduces the need for special cases. For
example, powerpc's module_alloc() was previously predicated on
MODULES_VADDR being defined but now is unconditionally defined.

This will be useful reducing conditional code in other places that need
to allocate from the module region (i.e., kprobes).

Use MODULES_VADDR/MODULES_END when it exists, use VMALLOC_START/VMALLOC_END otherwise.

I know I suggested to always define MODULES_VADDR, but maybe that's not the best solution at the end.

For kprobes, is there a way to re-use functions from modules.c in alloc_insn_page() ?

Probably we can use module_alloc() then the set_memory_ functions to
get the permissions right.
