* [PATCH] uml: skas0 - separate kernel address space on stock hostsJeff Dike2005-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UML has had two modes of operation - an insecure, slow mode (tt mode) in which the kernel is mapped into every process address space which requires no host kernel modifications, and a secure, faster mode (skas mode) in which the UML kernel is in a separate host address space, which requires a patch to the host kernel. This patch implements something very close to skas mode for hosts which don't support skas - I'm calling this skas0. It provides the security of the skas host patch, and some of the performance gains. The two main things that are provided by the skas patch, /proc/mm and PTRACE_FAULTINFO, are implemented in a way that require no host patch. For the remote address space changing stuff (mmap, munmap, and mprotect), we set aside two pages in the process above its stack, one of which contains a little bit of code which can call mmap et al. To update the address space, the system call information (system call number and arguments) are written to the stub page above the code. The %esp is set to the beginning of the data, the %eip is set the the start of the stub, and it repeatedly pops the information into its registers and makes the system call until it sees a system call number of zero. This is to amortize the cost of the context switch across multiple address space updates. When the updates are done, it SIGSTOPs itself, and the kernel process continues what it was doing. For a PTRACE_FAULTINFO replacement, we set up a SIGSEGV handler in the child, and let it handle segfaults rather than nullifying them. The handler is in the same page as the mmap stub. The second page is used as the stack. The handler reads cr2 and err from the sigcontext, sticks them at the base of the stack in a faultinfo struct, and SIGSTOPs itself. The kernel then reads the faultinfo and handles the fault. A complication on x86_64 is that this involves resetting the registers to the segfault values when the process is inside the kill system call. This breaks on x86_64 because %rcx will contain %rip because you tell SYSRET where to return to by putting the value in %rcx. So, this corrupts $rcx on return from the segfault. To work around this, I added an arch_finish_segv, which on x86 does nothing, but which on x86_64 ptraces the child back through the sigreturn. This causes %rcx to be restored by sigreturn and avoids the corruption. Ultimately, I think I will replace this with the trick of having it send itself a blocked signal which will be unblocked by the sigreturn. This will allow it to be stopped just after the sigreturn, and PTRACE_SYSCALLed without all the back-and-forth of PTRACE_SYSCALLing it through sigreturn. This runs on a stock host, so theoretically (and hopefully), tt mode isn't needed any more. We need to make sure that this is better in every way than tt mode, though. I'm concerned about the speed of address space updates and page fault handling, since they involve extra round-trips to the child. We can amortize the round-trip cost for large address space updates by writing all of the operations to the data page and having the child execute them all at the same time. This will help fork and exec, but not page faults, since they involve only one page. I can't think of any way to help page faults, except to add something like PTRACE_FAULTINFO to the host. There is PTRACE_SIGINFO, but UML doesn't use siginfo for SIGSEGV (or anything else) because there isn't enough information in the siginfo struct to handle page faults (the faulting operation type is missing). Adding that would make PTRACE_SIGINFO a usable equivalent to PTRACE_FAULTINFO. As for the code itself: - The system call stub is in arch/um/kernel/sys-$(SUBARCH)/stub.S. It is put in its own section of the binary along with stub_segv_handler in arch/um/kernel/skas/process.c. This is manipulated with run_syscall_stub in arch/um/kernel/skas/mem_user.c. syscall_stub will execute any system call at all, but it's only used for mmap, munmap, and mprotect. - The x86_64 stub calls sigreturn by hand rather than allowing the normal sigreturn to happen, because the normal sigreturn is a SA_RESTORER in UML's address space provided by libc. Needless to say, this is not available in the child's address space. Also, it does a couple of odd pops before that which restore the stack to the state it was in at the time the signal handler was called. - There is a new field in the arch mmu_context, which is now a union. This is the pid to be manipulated rather than the /proc/mm file descriptor. Code which deals with this now checks proc_mm to see whether it should use the usual skas code or the new code. - userspace_tramp is now used to create a new host process for every UML process, rather than one per UML processor. It checks proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo to decide whether to map in the pages above its stack. - start_userspace now makes CLONE_VM conditional on proc_mm since we need separate address spaces now. - switch_mm_skas now just sets userspace_pid[0] to the new pid rather than PTRACE_SWITCH_MM. There is an addition to userspace which updates its idea of the pid being manipulated each time around the loop. This is important on exec, when the pid will change underneath userspace(). - The stub page has a pte, but it can't be mapped in using tlb_flush because it is part of tlb_flush. This is why it's required for it to be mapped in by userspace_tramp. Other random things: - The stub section in uml.lds.S is page aligned. This page is written out to the backing vm file in setup_physmem because it is mapped from there into user processes. - There's some confusion with TASK_SIZE now that there are a couple of extra pages that the process can't use. TASK_SIZE is considered by the elf code to be the usable process memory, which is reasonable, so it is decreased by two pages. This confuses the definition of USER_PGDS_IN_LAST_PML4, making it too small because of the rounding down of the uneven division. So we round it to the nearest PGDIR_SIZE rather than the lower one. - I added a missing PT_SYSCALL_ARG6_OFFSET macro. - um_mmu.h was made into a userspace-usable file. - proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo are globals which say whether the host supports these features. - There is a bad interaction between the mm.nr_ptes check at the end of exit_mmap, stack randomization, and skas0. exit_mmap will stop freeing pages at the PGDIR_SIZE boundary after the last vma. If the stack isn't on the last page table page, the last pte page won't be freed, as it should be since the stub ptes are there, and exit_mmap will BUG because there is an unfreed page. To get around this, TASK_SIZE is set to the next lowest PGDIR_SIZE boundary and mm->nr_ptes is decremented after the calls to init_stub_pte. This ensures that we know the process stack (and all other process mappings) will be below the top page table page, and thus we know that mm->nr_ptes will be one too many, and can be decremented. Things that need fixing: - We may need better assurrences that the stub code is PIC. - The stub pte is set up in init_new_context_skas. - alloc_pgdir is probably the right place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I reworked how nodes with only CPUs are treated. The patch below seems simpler to me and has eliminated the complicated routine reassign_cpu_only_nodes. There isn't any longer the requirement to modify ACPI NUMA information which was in large part the complexity introduced in reassign_cpu_only_nodes. This patch will produce a different number of nodes. For example, reassign_cpu_only_nodes would reduce two CPUonly nodes and one memory node configuration to one memory+CPUs node configuration. This patch doesn't change the number of nodes which means the user will see three. Two nodes without memory and one node with all the memory. While doing this patch, I noticed that early_nr_phys_cpus_node isn't serving any useful purpose. It is called once in find_pernode_space but the value isn't used to computer pernode space.

| * | | [CRYPTO] Add x86_64 asm AESAndreas Steinmetz2005-07-06
| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implementation: =============== The encrypt/decrypt code is based on an x86 implementation I did a while ago which I never published. This unpublished implementation does include an assembler based key schedule and precomputed tables. For simplicity and best acceptance, however, I took Gladman's in-kernel code for table generation and key schedule for the kernel port of my assembler code and modified this code to produce the key schedule as required by my assembler implementation. File locations and Kconfig are kept similar to the i586 AES assembler implementation. It may seem a little bit strange to use 32 bit I/O and registers in the assembler implementation but this gives the best code size. My implementation takes one instruction more per round compared to Gladman's x86 assembler but it doesn't require any stack for local variables or saved registers and it is less serialized than Gladman's code. Note that all comparisons to Gladman's code were done after my code was implemented. I did only use FIPS PUB 197 for the implementation so my implementation is independent work. If anybody has a better assembler solution for x86_64 I'll be pleased to have my code replaced with the better solution. Testing: ======== The implementation passes the in-kernel crypto testing module and I'm running it without any problems on my laptop where it is mainly used for dm-crypt. Microbenchmark: =============== The microbenchmark was done in userspace with similar compile flags as used during kernel compile. Encrypt/decrypt is about 35% faster than the generic C implementation. As the generic C as well as my assembler implementation are both table I don't really expect that there is much room for further improvements though I'll be glad to be corrected here. The key schedule is about 5% slower than the generic C implementation. This is due to the fact that some more work has to be done in the key schedule routine to fit the schedule to the assembler implementation. Code Size: ========== Encrypt and decrypt are together about 2.1 Kbytes smaller than the generic C implementation which is important with regard to L1 cache usage. The key schedule routine is about 100 bytes larger than the generic C implementation. Data Size: ========== There's no difference in data size requirements between the assembler implementation and the generic C implementation. License: ======== Gladmans's code is dual BSD/GPL whereas my assembler code is GPLv2 only (I'm not going to change the license for my code). So I had to change the module license for the x86_64 aes module from 'Dual BSD/GPL' to 'GPL' to reflect the most restrictive license within the module.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Deepak Saxena This patch implements the iomap API for Intel IXP4xx NPU systems. We need to implement our own version of the API functions b/c of the PCI hostbridge does not provide the capability to map PCI I/O space into the CPU's physical memory space. In addition, if a system has more than 64M of PCI memory mapped BARs, PCI memory must also be accessed indirectly. This patch changes the assignment of PCI I/O resources to fall into to 0x0000:0xffff range so that we can trap I/O areas in our ioread/iowrite macros.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This converts the usage of struct of_match to struct of_device_id, similar to pci_device_id. This allows a device table to be generated, which can be parsed by depmod(8) to generate a map file for module loading.
