2021-05-14docs: admin-guide: update description for kernel.modprobe sysctlRasmus Villemoes
When I added CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH, I neglected to update Documentation/. It's still true that this defaults to /sbin/modprobe, but now via a level of indirection. So document that the kernel might have been built with something other than /sbin/modprobe as the initial value.

2021-05-11bpf: Add kconfig knob for disabling unpriv bpf by defaultDaniel Borkmann
Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default. If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2. This still allows a transition of 2 -> {0,1} through an admin. Similarly, this also still keeps 1 -> {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot. We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin still has a chance to toggle between 0 <-> 2. Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF that we added a while ago.

2021-05-07drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for goodDavid Hildenbrand
Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

2021-05-07init/initramfs.c: do unpacking asynchronouslyRasmus Villemoes
Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3. These two patches are independent, but better-together. The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the initramfs unpacking. The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread, allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_ initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any places I have missed. There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating most of the first benefit). This patch (of 2): Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread. This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the watchdog much sooner. Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel, my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M. That takes almost two seconds: [ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... [ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs() finished. Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_ and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this completely safe. But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(), call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

Self stored memmap leads to a sparse memory situation which is unsuitable for workloads that requires large contiguous memory chunks, so make this an opt-in which needs to be explicitly enabled. To control this, let memory_hotplug have its own memory space, as suggested by David, so we can add memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory parameter.

2021-05-05userfaultfd: update documentation to describe minor fault handlingAxel Rasmussen
Reword / reorganize things a little bit into "lists", so new features / modes / ioctls can sort of just be appended. Describe how UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR and UFFDIO_CONTINUE can be used to intercept and resolve minor faults. Make it clear that COPY and ZEROPAGE are used for MISSING faults, whereas CONTINUE is used for MINOR faults.

2021-05-03docs: reporting-issues.rst: CC subsystem and maintainers on regressionsThorsten Leemhuis
When reporting a regression, users ideally should CC the subsystem and its maintainers, as that will ensure they get aware of the regression quickly. And if the culprit is known, they should also CC everyone who signed if off; the text mentioned the latter in once place already, but forgot to do so in two other areas where it's relevant. While fixing this also remind readers to check the mailing list archives for issues that need to be reported to a bug tracker, as someone might have reported it by mail only. All of this got triggered by a recent report where these changes would have made a difference.

This mostly affects the Freescale PAMU driver. - New IOMMU driver for Unisoc SOCs - ARM SMMU Updates from Will: - Drop vestigial PREFETCH_ADDR support (SMMUv3) - Elide TLB sync logic for empty gather (SMMUv3) - Fix "Service Failure Mode" handling (SMMUv3) - New Qualcomm compatible string (SMMUv2) - Removal of the AMD IOMMU performance counter writeable check on AMD. It caused long boot delays on some machines and is only needed to work around an errata on some older (possibly pre-production) chips. If someone is still hit by this hardware issue anyway the performance counters will just return 0. - Support for targeted invalidations in the AMD IOMMU driver. Before that the driver only invalidated a single 4k page or the whole IO/TLB for an address space. This has been extended now and is mostly useful for emulated AMD IOMMUs. - Several fixes for the Shared Virtual Memory support in the Intel VT-d driver - Mediatek drivers can now be built as modules - Re-introduction of the forcedac boot option which got lost when converting the Intel VT-d driver to the common dma-iommu implementation. - Extension of the IOMMU device registration interface and support iommu_ops to be const again when drivers are built as modules. * tag 'iommu-updates-v5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu: (84 commits) iommu: Streamline registration interface iommu: Statically set module owner iommu/mediatek-v1: Add error handle for mtk_iommu_probe iommu/mediatek-v1: Avoid build fail when build as module iommu/mediatek: Always enable the clk on resume iommu/fsl-pamu: Fix uninitialized variable warning iommu/vt-d: Force to flush iotlb before creating superpage iommu/amd: Put newline after closing bracket in warning iommu/vt-d: Fix an error handling path in 'intel_prepare_irq_remapping()' iommu/vt-d: Fix build error of pasid_enable_wpe() with !X86 iommu/amd: Remove performance counter pre-initialization test Revert "iommu/amd: Fix performance counter initialization" iommu/amd: Remove duplicate check of devid iommu/exynos: Remove unneeded local variable initialization iommu/amd: Page-specific invalidations for more than one page iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Remove the unused fields for PREFETCH_CONFIG command iommu/vt-d: Avoid unnecessary cache flush in pasid entry teardown iommu/vt-d: Invalidate PASID cache when root/context entry changed iommu/vt-d: Remove WO permissions on second-level paging entries iommu/vt-d: Report the right page fault address ...

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong: "The notable user-visible addition this cycle is ability to remove space from the last AG in a filesystem. This is the first of many changes needed for full-fledged support for shrinking a filesystem. Still needed are (a) the ability to reorganize files and metadata away from the end of the fs; (b) the ability to remove entire allocation groups; (c) shrink support for realtime volumes; and (d) thorough testing of (a-c). There are a number of performance improvements in this code drop: Dave streamlined various parts of the buffer logging code and reduced the cost of various debugging checks, and added the ability to pre-create the xattr structures while creating files. Brian eliminated transaction reservations that were being held across writeback (thus reducing livelock potential. Other random pieces: Pavel fixed the repetitve warnings about deprecated mount options, I fixed online fsck to behave itself when a readonly remount comes in during scrub, and refactored various other parts of that code, Christoph contributed a lot of refactoring this cycle. The xfs_icdinode structure has been absorbed into the (incore) xfs_inode structure, and the format and flags handling around xfs_inode_fork structures has been simplified. Chandan provided a number of fixes for extent count overflow related problems that have been shaken out by debugging knobs added during 5.12.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull entry code update from Thomas Gleixner: "Provide support for randomized stack offsets per syscall to make stack-based attacks harder which rely on the deterministic stack layout. The feature is based on the original idea of PaX's RANDSTACK feature, but uses a significantly different implementation. The offset does not affect the pt_regs location on the task stack as this was agreed on to be of dubious value. The offset is applied before the actual syscall is invoked. The offset is stored per cpu and the randomization happens at the end of the syscall which is less predictable than on syscall entry. The mechanism to apply the offset is via alloca(), i.e. abusing the dispised VLAs. This comes with the drawback that stack-clash-protection has to be disabled for the affected compilation units and there is also a negative interaction with stack-protector. Those downsides are traded with the advantage that this approach does not require any intrusive changes to the low level assembly entry code, does not affect the unwinder and the correct stack alignment is handled automatically by the compiler. The feature is guarded with a static branch which avoids the overhead when disabled. Currently this is supported for X86 and ARM64" * tag 'x86-entry-2021-04-26' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: arm64: entry: Enable random_kstack_offset support lkdtm: Add REPORT_STACK for checking stack offsets x86/entry: Enable random_kstack_offset support stack: Optionally randomize kernel stack offset each syscall init_on_alloc: Optimize static branches jump_label: Provide CONFIG-driven build state defaults

2021-04-14KEYS: trusted: Add generic trusted keys frameworkSumit Garg
Current trusted keys framework is tightly coupled to use TPM device as an underlying implementation which makes it difficult for implementations like Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) etc. to provide trusted keys support in case platform doesn't posses a TPM device. Add a generic trusted keys framework where underlying implementations can be easily plugged in. Create struct trusted_key_ops to achieve this, which contains necessary functions of a backend. Also, define a module parameter in order to select a particular trust source in case a platform support multiple trust sources. In case its not specified then implementation itetrates through trust sources list starting with TPM and assign the first trust source as a backend which has initiazed successfully during iteration. Note that current implementation only supports a single trust source at runtime which is either selectable at compile time or during boot via aforementioned module parameter.

CONFIG_ARM64_VHE was introduced with ARMv8.1 (some 7 years ago), and has been enabled by default for almost all that time. Given that newer systems that are VHE capable are finally becoming available, and that some systems are even incapable of not running VHE, drop the configuration altogether. Anyone willing to stick to non-VHE on VHE hardware for obscure reasons should use the 'kvm-arm.mode=nvhe' command-line option.

2021-04-08stack: Optionally randomize kernel stack offset each syscallKees Cook
This provides the ability for architectures to enable kernel stack base address offset randomization. This feature is controlled by the boot param "randomize_kstack_offset=on/off", with its default value set by CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT. This feature is based on the original idea from the last public release of PaX's RANDKSTACK feature: https://pax.grsecurity.net/docs/randkstack.txt All the credit for the original idea goes to the PaX team. Note that the design and implementation of this upstream randomize_kstack_offset feature differs greatly from the RANDKSTACK feature (see below). Reasoning for the feature: This feature aims to make harder the various stack-based attacks that rely on deterministic stack structure. We have had many such attacks in past (just to name few): https://jon.oberheide.org/files/infiltrate12-thestackisback.pdf https://jon.oberheide.org/files/stackjacking-infiltrate11.pdf https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/exploiting-recursion-in-linux-kernel_20.html As Linux kernel stack protections have been constantly improving (vmap-based stack allocation with guard pages, removal of thread_info, STACKLEAK), attackers have had to find new ways for their exploits to work. They have done so, continuing to rely on the kernel's stack determinism, in situations where VMAP_STACK and THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT were not relevant. For example, the following recent attacks would have been hampered if the stack offset was non-deterministic between syscalls: https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/bitstream/10216/125357/2/374717.pdf (page 70: targeting the pt_regs copy with linear stack overflow) https://a13xp0p0v.github.io/2020/02/15/CVE-2019-18683.html (leaked stack address from one syscall as a target during next syscall) The main idea is that since the stack offset is randomized on each system call, it is harder for an attack to reliably land in any particular place on the thread stack, even with address exposures, as the stack base will change on the next syscall. Also, since randomization is performed after placing pt_regs, the ptrace-based approach[1] to discover the randomized offset during a long-running syscall should not be possible. Design description: During most of the kernel's execution, it runs on the "thread stack", which is pretty deterministic in its structure: it is fixed in size, and on every entry from userspace to kernel on a syscall the thread stack starts construction from an address fetched from the per-cpu cpu_current_top_of_stack variable. The first element to be pushed to the thread stack is the pt_regs struct that stores all required CPU registers and syscall parameters. Finally the specific syscall function is called, with the stack being used as the kernel executes the resulting request. The goal of randomize_kstack_offset feature is to add a random offset after the pt_regs has been pushed to the stack and before the rest of the thread stack is used during the syscall processing, and to change it every time a process issues a syscall. The source of randomness is currently architecture-defined (but x86 is using the low byte of rdtsc()). Future improvements for different entropy sources is possible, but out of scope for this patch. Further more, to add more unpredictability, new offsets are chosen at the end of syscalls (the timing of which should be less easy to measure from userspace than at syscall entry time), and stored in a per-CPU variable, so that the life of the value does not stay explicitly tied to a single task. As suggested by Andy Lutomirski, the offset is added using alloca() and an empty asm() statement with an output constraint, since it avoids changes to assembly syscall entry code, to the unwinder, and provides correct stack alignment as defined by the compiler. In order to make this available by default with zero performance impact for those that don't want it, it is boot-time selectable with static branches. This way, if the overhead is not wanted, it can just be left turned off with no performance impact. The generated assembly for x86_64 with GCC looks like this: ... ffffffff81003977: 65 8b 05 02 ea 00 7f mov %gs:0x7f00ea02(%rip),%eax # 12380 <kstack_offset> ffffffff8100397e: 25 ff 03 00 00 and $0x3ff,%eax ffffffff81003983: 48 83 c0 0f add $0xf,%rax ffffffff81003987: 25 f8 07 00 00 and $0x7f8,%eax ffffffff8100398c: 48 29 c4 sub %rax,%rsp ffffffff8100398f: 48 8d 44 24 0f lea 0xf(%rsp),%rax ffffffff81003994: 48 83 e0 f0 and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rax ... As a result of the above stack alignment, this patch introduces about 5 bits of randomness after pt_regs is spilled to the thread stack on x86_64, and 6 bits on x86_32 (since its has 1 fewer bit required for stack alignment). The amount of entropy could be adjusted based on how much of the stack space we wish to trade for security. My measure of syscall performance overhead (on x86_64): lmbench: /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/lat_syscall -N 10000 null randomize_kstack_offset=y Simple syscall: 0.7082 microseconds randomize_kstack_offset=n Simple syscall: 0.7016 microseconds So, roughly 0.9% overhead growth for a no-op syscall, which is very manageable. And for people that don't want this, it's off by default. There are two gotchas with using the alloca() trick. First, compilers that have Stack Clash protection (-fstack-clash-protection) enabled by default (e.g. Ubuntu[3]) add pagesize stack probes to any dynamic stack allocations. While the randomization offset is always less than a page, the resulting assembly would still contain (unreachable!) probing routines, bloating the resulting assembly. To avoid this, -fno-stack-clash-protection is unconditionally added to the kernel Makefile since this is the only dynamic stack allocation in the kernel (now that VLAs have been removed) and it is provably safe from Stack Clash style attacks. The second gotcha with alloca() is a negative interaction with -fstack-protector*, in that it sees the alloca() as an array allocation, which triggers the unconditional addition of the stack canary function pre/post-amble which slows down syscalls regardless of the static branch. In order to avoid adding this unneeded check and its associated performance impact, architectures need to carefully remove uses of -fstack-protector-strong (or -fstack-protector) in the compilation units that use the add_random_kstack() macro and to audit the resulting stack mitigation coverage (to make sure no desired coverage disappears). No change is visible for this on x86 because the stack protector is already unconditionally disabled for the compilation unit, but the change is required on arm64. There is, unfortunately, no attribute that can be used to disable stack protector for specific functions. Comparison to PaX RANDKSTACK feature: The RANDKSTACK feature randomizes the location of the stack start (cpu_current_top_of_stack), i.e. including the location of pt_regs structure itself on the stack. Initially this patch followed the same approach, but during the recent discussions[2], it has been determined to be of a little value since, if ptrace functionality is available for an attacker, they can use PTRACE_PEEKUSR/PTRACE_POKEUSR to read/write different offsets in the pt_regs struct, observe the cache behavior of the pt_regs accesses, and figure out the random stack offset. Another difference is that the random offset is stored in a per-cpu variable, rather than having it be per-thread. As a result, these implementations differ a fair bit in their implementation details and results, though obviously the intent is similar.
