For details, see: dfb09f9b7ab0 ("x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15h") This special case reduces the mmapped file's entropy by 3 bits. The following output is the run on an AMD Opteron 62xx class CPU processor under x86_64 Linux 4.0.0: $ for i in `seq 1 10`; do cat /proc/self/maps | grep "r-xp.*libc" ; done b7588000-b7736000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 b7570000-b771e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 b75d0000-b777e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 b75b0000-b775e000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 b7578000-b7726000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 4924 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 ... Bits [12:14] are always 0, i.e. the address always ends in 0x8000 or 0x0000. 32-bit systems, as in the example above, are especially sensitive to this issue because 32-bit randomness for VA space is 8 bits (see mmap_rnd()). With the Bulldozer special case, this diminishes to only 32 different slots of mmap virtual addresses. This patch randomizes per boot the three affected bits rather than setting them to zero. Since all the shared pages have the same value at bits [12..14], there is no cache aliasing problems. This value gets generated during system boot and it is thus not known to a potential remote attacker. Therefore, the impact from the Bulldozer workaround gets diminished and ASLR randomness increased.

* | x86/asm/entry: Clear EXTRA_REGS for all executable formatsDenys Vlasenko2015-04-061-3/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On failure, sys_execve() does not clobber EXTRA_REGS, so we can just return to userpsace without saving/restoring them. On success, ELF_PLAT_INIT() in sys_execve() clears all these registers. On other executable formats: - binfmt_flat.c has similar FLAT_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and everyone else except sh) doesn't define it. - binfmt_elf_fdpic.c has ELF_FDPIC_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and most others) doesn't define it. - There are no such hooks in binfmt_aout.c et al. We inherit EXTRA_REGS from the prior executable. This inconsistency was not intended. This change removes SAVE/RESTORE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_execve, removes register clearing in ELF_PLAT_INIT(), and instead simply clears them on success in stub_execve. Run-tested.

* x86: Reject x32 executables if x32 ABI not supportedBen Hutchings2014-10-081-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is currently possible to execve() an x32 executable on an x86_64 kernel that has only ia32 compat enabled. However all its syscalls will fail, even _exit().

* x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time CAndy Lutomirski2014-05-051-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, vdso.so files are prepared and analyzed by a combination of objcopy, nm, some linker script tricks, and some simple ELF parsers in the kernel. Replace all of that with plain C code that runs at build time. All five vdso images now generate .c files that are compiled and linked in to the kernel image. This should cause only one userspace-visible change: the loaded vDSO images are stripped more heavily than they used to be. Everything outside the loadable segment is dropped. In particular, this causes the section table and section name strings to be missing. This should be fine: real dynamic loaders don't load or inspect these tables anyway. The result is roughly equivalent to eu-strip's --strip-sections option. The purpose of this change is to enable the vvar and hpet mappings to be moved to the page following the vDSO load segment. Currently, it is possible for the section table to extend into the page after the load segment, so, if we map it, it risks overlapping the vvar or hpet page. This happens whenever the load segment is just under a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. The only real subtlety here is that the old code had a C file with inline assembler that did 'call VDSO32_vsyscall' and a linker script that defined 'VDSO32_vsyscall = __kernel_vsyscall'. This most likely worked by accident: the linker script entry defines a symbol associated with an address as opposed to an alias for the real dynamic symbol __kernel_vsyscall. That caused ld to relocate the reference at link time instead of leaving an interposable dynamic relocation. Since the VDSO32_vsyscall hack is no longer needed, I now use 'call __kernel_vsyscall', and I added -Bsymbolic to make it work. vdso2c will generate an error and abort the build if the resulting image contains any dynamic relocations, so we won't silently generate bad vdso images. (Dynamic relocations are a problem because nothing will even attempt to relocate the vdso.)

* x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15hBorislav Petkov2011-08-051-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the cores of a compute module. This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation. This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12] slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases. It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86 individually, or both, or be completely disabled. This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families and/or vendors unaffected.

Move compat_start_thread() to process_64.c, remove gratuitious differences, and fix a few items which mostly look like bit rot. In particular, compat_start_thread() didn't do free_thread_xstate(), which means it was hanging on to the xstate store area even when it was not needed. It was also not setting old_rsp, but it looks like that generally shouldn't matter for a 32-bit process.

* x86: Increase MIN_GAP to include randomized stackMichal Hocko2009-09-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we are not including randomized stack size when calculating mmap_base address in arch_pick_mmap_layout for topdown case. This might cause that mmap_base starts in the stack reserved area because stack is randomized by 1GB for 64b (8MB for 32b) and the minimum gap is 128MB. If the stack really grows down to mmap_base then we can get silent mmap region overwrite by the stack values. Let's include maximum stack randomization size into MIN_GAP which is used as the low bound for the gap in mmap.

* x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32Tejun Heo2009-02-101-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary. In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs handling optional by doing the followings. * Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs. * Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path and simplifies entry path with error code. * Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily. * Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly. xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

* x86: add %gs accessors for x86_32Tejun Heo2009-02-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup On x86_32, %gs is handled lazily. It's not saved and restored on kernel entry/exit but only when necessary which usually is during task switch but there are few other places. Currently, it's done by calling savesegment() and loadsegment() explicitly. Define get_user_gs(), set_user_gs() and task_user_gs() and use them instead. While at it, clean up register access macros in signal.c. This cleans up code a bit and will help future changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* [S390] arch_setup_additional_pages argumentsMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could be removed without replacement. What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not to map the vdso.
