      Revert "x86/mm/legacy: Populate the user page-table with user pgd's" · 61a6bd83
      Joerg Roedel authored
      
      This reverts commit 1f40a46c.
      
      It turned out that this patch is not sufficient to enable PTI on 32 bit
      systems with legacy 2-level page-tables. In this paging mode the huge-page
      PTEs are in the top-level page-table directory, where also the mirroring to
      the user-space page-table happens. So every huge PTE exits twice, in the
      kernel and in the user page-table.
      
      That means that accessed/dirty bits need to be fetched from two PTEs in
      this mode to be safe, but this is not trivial to implement because it needs
      changes to generic code just for the sake of enabling PTI with 32-bit
      legacy paging. As all systems that need PTI should support PAE anyway,
      remove support for PTI when 32-bit legacy paging is used.

      usercopy: Allow strict enforcement of whitelists · 2d891fbc
      Kees Cook authored
      
      This introduces CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK to control the
      behavior of hardened usercopy whitelist violations. By default, whitelist
      violations will continue to WARN() so that any bad or missing usercopy
      whitelists can be discovered without being too disruptive.
      
      If this config is disabled at build time or a system is booted with
      "slab_common.usercopy_fallback=0", usercopy whitelists will BUG() instead
      of WARN(). This is useful for admins that want to use usercopy whitelists
      immediately.

      x86/mm/pti: Add Kconfig · 385ce0ea
      Dave Hansen authored and Ingo Molnar's avatar Ingo Molnar committed
      
      Finally allow CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION to be enabled.
      
      PARAVIRT generally requires that the kernel not manage its own page tables.
      It also means that the hypervisor and kernel must agree wholeheartedly
      about what format the page tables are in and what they contain.
      PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION, unfortunately, changes the rules and they
      can not be used together.
      
      I've seen conflicting feedback from maintainers lately about whether they
      want the Kconfig magic to go first or last in a patch series.  It's going
      last here because the partially-applied series leads to kernels that can
      not boot in a bunch of cases.  I did a run through the entire series with
      CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y to look for build errors, though.

      /dev/mem: Add bounce buffer for copy-out · 22ec1a2a
      Kees Cook authored
      
      As done for /proc/kcore in
      
        commit df04abfd ("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data")
      
      this adds a bounce buffer when reading memory via /dev/mem. This
      is needed to allow kernel text memory to be read out when built with
      CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY (which refuses to read out kernel text) and
      without CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM (which would have refused to read any RAM
      contents at all).
      
      Since this build configuration isn't common (most systems with
      CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY also have CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM), this also tries
      to inform Kconfig about the recommended settings.
      
      This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's changes to /dev/mem
      code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
      of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
      don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

      include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions · 6974f0c4
      Daniel Micay authored
      This adds support for compiling with a rough equivalent to the glibc
      _FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 feature, providing compile-time and runtime buffer
      overflow checks for string.h functions when the compiler determines the
      size of the source or destination buffer at compile-time.  Unlike glibc,
      it covers buffer reads in addition to writes.
      
      GNU C __builtin_*_chk intrinsics are avoided because they would force a
      much more complex implementation.  They aren't designed to detect read
      overflows and offer no real benefit when using an implementation based
      on inline checks.  Inline checks don't add up to much code size and
      allow full use of the regular string intrinsics while avoiding the need
      for a bunch of _chk functions and per-arch assembly to avoid wrapper
      overhead.
      
      This detects various overflows at compile-time in various drivers and
      some non-x86 core kernel code.  There will likely be issues caught in
      regular use at runtime too.
      
      Future improvements left out of initial implementation for simplicity,
      as it's all quite optional and can be done incrementally:
      
      * Some of the fortified string functions (strncpy, strcat), don't yet
        place a limit on reads from the source based on __builtin_object_size of
        the source buffer.
      
      * Extending coverage to more string functions like strlcat.
      
      * It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for
        some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like
        glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative
        approach to avoid likely compatibility issues.
      
      * The compile-time checks should be made available via a separate config
        option which can be enabled by default (or always enabled) once enough
        time has passed to get the issues it catches fixed.

      IB/core: Enforce PKey security on QPs · d291f1a6
      Daniel Jurgens authored
      
      Add new LSM hooks to allocate and free security contexts and check for
      permission to access a PKey.
      
      Allocate and free a security context when creating and destroying a QP.
      This context is used for controlling access to PKeys.
      
      When a request is made to modify a QP that changes the port, PKey index,
      or alternate path, check that the QP has permission for the PKey in the
      PKey table index on the subnet prefix of the port. If the QP is shared
      make sure all handles to the QP also have access.
      
      Store which port and PKey index a QP is using. After the reset to init
      transition the user can modify the port, PKey index and alternate path
      independently. So port and PKey settings changes can be a merge of the
      previous settings and the new ones.
      
      In order to maintain access control if there are PKey table or subnet
      prefix change keep a list of all QPs are using each PKey index on
      each port. If a change occurs all QPs using that device and port must
      have access enforced for the new cache settings.
      
      These changes add a transaction to the QP modify process. Association
      with the old port and PKey index must be maintained if the modify fails,
      and must be removed if it succeeds. Association with the new port and
      PKey index must be established prior to the modify and removed if the
      modify fails.
      
      1. When a QP is modified to a particular Port, PKey index or alternate
         path insert that QP into the appropriate lists.
      
      2. Check permission to access the new settings.
      
      3. If step 2 grants access attempt to modify the QP.
      
      4a. If steps 2 and 3 succeed remove any prior associations.
      
      4b. If ether fails remove the new setting associations.
      
      If a PKey table or subnet prefix changes walk the list of QPs and
      check that they have permission. If not send the QP to the error state
      and raise a fatal error event. If it's a shared QP make sure all the
      QPs that share the real_qp have permission as well. If the QP that
      owns a security structure is denied access the security structure is
      marked as such and the QP is added to an error_list. Once the moving
      the QP to error is complete the security structure mark is cleared.
      
      Maintaining the lists correctly turns QP destroy into a transaction.
      The hardware driver for the device frees the ib_qp structure, so while
      the destroy is in progress the ib_qp pointer in the ib_qp_security
      struct is undefined. When the destroy process begins the ib_qp_security
      structure is marked as destroying. This prevents any action from being
      taken on the QP pointer. After the QP is destroyed successfully it
      could still listed on an error_list wait for it to be processed by that
      flow before cleaning up the structure.
      
      If the destroy fails the QPs port and PKey settings are reinserted into
      the appropriate lists, the destroying flag is cleared, and access control
      is enforced, in case there were any cache changes during the destroy
      flow.
      
      To keep the security changes isolated a new file is used to hold security
      related functionality.

      Introduce STATIC_USERMODEHELPER to mediate call_usermodehelper() · 64e90a8a
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      
      Some usermode helper applications are defined at kernel build time, while
      others can be changed at runtime.  To provide a sane way to filter these, add a
      new kernel option "STATIC_USERMODEHELPER".  This option routes all
      call_usermodehelper() calls through this binary, no matter what the caller
      wishes to have called.
      
      The new binary (by default set to /sbin/usermode-helper, but can be changed
      through the STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH option) can properly filter the
      requested programs to be run by the kernel by looking at the first argument
      that is passed to it.  All other options should then be passed onto the proper
      program if so desired.
      
      To disable all call_usermodehelper() calls by the kernel, set
      STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to an empty string.

      Make the hardened user-copy code depend on having a hardened allocator · 6040e576
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      The kernel test robot reported a usercopy failure in the new hardened
      sanity checks, due to a page-crossing copy of the FPU state into the
      task structure.
      
      This happened because the kernel test robot was testing with SLOB, which
      doesn't actually do the required book-keeping for slab allocations, and
      as a result the hardening code didn't realize that the task struct
      allocation was one single allocation - and the sanity checks fail.
      
      Since SLOB doesn't even claim to support hardening (and you really
      shouldn't use it), the straightforward solution is to just make the
      usercopy hardening code depend on the allocator supporting it.

      mm: Hardened usercopy · f5509cc1
      Kees Cook authored
      
      This is the start of porting PAX_USERCOPY into the mainline kernel. This
      is the first set of features, controlled by CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY. The
      work is based on code by PaX Team and Brad Spengler, and an earlier port
      from Casey Schaufler. Additional non-slab page tests are from Rik van Riel.
      
      This patch contains the logic for validating several conditions when
      performing copy_to_user() and copy_from_user() on the kernel object
      being copied to/from:
      - address range doesn't wrap around
      - address range isn't NULL or zero-allocated (with a non-zero copy size)
      - if on the slab allocator:
        - object size must be less than or equal to copy size (when check is
          implemented in the allocator, which appear in subsequent patches)
      - otherwise, object must not span page allocations (excepting Reserved
        and CMA ranges)
      - if on the stack
        - object must not extend before/after the current process stack
        - object must be contained by a valid stack frame (when there is
          arch/build support for identifying stack frames)
      - object must not overlap with kernel text
