The mmap2() syscall has never been used on 64-bit s390x and should
have been removed as part of 5a79859ae0f3 ("s390: remove 31 bit
support").
Remove it now.

Using sys_io_pgetevents() as the entry point for compat mode tasks
works almost correctly, but misses the sign extension for the min_nr
and nr arguments.
This was addressed on parisc by switching to
compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64() in commit 6431e92fc827 ("parisc:
io_pgetevents_time64() needs compat syscall in 32-bit compat mode"),
as well as by using more sophisticated system call wrappers on x86 and
s390. However, arm64, mips, powerpc, sparc and riscv still have the
same bug.
Change all of them over to use compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64()
like parisc already does. This was clearly the intention when the
function was originally added, but it got hooked up incorrectly in
the tables.

The virtual memory information stored in os_info area is
required for creation of the kernel image PT_LOAD program
header for kernels since commit a2ec5bec56dd ("s390/mm:
uncouple physical vs virtual address spaces").
By contrast, if such information in os_info is absent the
PT_LOAD program header should not be created.
Currently the proper PT_LOAD program header is created for
kernels that contain the virtual memory information, but
for kernels without one an invalid header of zero size is
created. That in turn leads to stand-alone dump failures.
Use OS_INFO_KASLR_OFFSET variable to check whether os_info
is present or not (same as crash and makedumpfile tools do)
and based on that create or do not create the kernel image
PT_LOAD program header.

Patch series "Introduce mseal", v10.
This patchset proposes a new mseal() syscall for the Linux kernel.
In a nutshell, mseal() protects the VMAs of a given virtual memory range
against modifications, such as changes to their permission bits.
Modern CPUs support memory permissions, such as the read/write (RW) and
no-execute (NX) bits. Linux has supported NX since the release of kernel
version 2.6.8 in August 2004 [1]. The memory permission feature improves
the security stance on memory corruption bugs, as an attacker cannot
simply write to arbitrary memory and point the code to it. The memory
must be marked with the X bit, or else an exception will occur.
Internally, the kernel maintains the memory permissions in a data
structure called VMA (vm_area_struct). mseal() additionally protects the
VMA itself against modifications of the selected seal type.
Memory sealing is useful to mitigate memory corruption issues where a
corrupted pointer is passed to a memory management system. For example,
such an attacker primitive can break control-flow integrity guarantees
since read-only memory that is supposed to be trusted can become writable
or .text pages can get remapped. Memory sealing can automatically be
applied by the runtime loader to seal .text and .rodata pages and
applications can additionally seal security critical data at runtime. A
similar feature already exists in the XNU kernel with the
VM_FLAGS_PERMANENT [3] flag and on OpenBSD with the mimmutable syscall
[4]. Also, Chrome wants to adopt this feature for their CFI work [2] and
this patchset has been designed to be compatible with the Chrome use case.
Two system calls are involved in sealing the map: mmap() and mseal().
The new mseal() is an syscall on 64 bit CPU, and with following signature:
int mseal(void addr, size_t len, unsigned long flags)
addr/len: memory range.
flags: reserved.
mseal() blocks following operations for the given memory range.
1> Unmapping, moving to another location, and shrinking the size,
via munmap() and mremap(), can leave an empty space, therefore can
be replaced with a VMA with a new set of attributes.
2> Moving or expanding a different VMA into the current location,
via mremap().
3> Modifying a VMA via mmap(MAP_FIXED).
4> Size expansion, via mremap(), does not appear to pose any specific
risks to sealed VMAs. It is included anyway because the use case is
unclear. In any case, users can rely on merging to expand a sealed VMA.
5> mprotect() and pkey_mprotect().
6> Some destructive madvice() behaviors (e.g. MADV_DONTNEED) for anonymous
memory, when users don't have write permission to the memory. Those
behaviors can alter region contents by discarding pages, effectively a
memset(0) for anonymous memory.
The idea that inspired this patch comes from Stephen Röttger’s work in
V8 CFI [5]. Chrome browser in ChromeOS will be the first user of this
API.
Indeed, the Chrome browser has very specific requirements for sealing,
which are distinct from those of most applications. For example, in the
case of libc, sealing is only applied to read-only (RO) or read-execute
(RX) memory segments (such as .text and .RELRO) to prevent them from
becoming writable, the lifetime of those mappings are tied to the lifetime
of the process.
Chrome wants to seal two large address space reservations that are managed
by different allocators. The memory is mapped RW- and RWX respectively
but write access to it is restricted using pkeys (or in the future ARM
permission overlay extensions). The lifetime of those mappings are not
tied to the lifetime of the process, therefore, while the memory is
sealed, the allocators still need to free or discard the unused memory.
For example, with madvise(DONTNEED).
However, always allowing madvise(DONTNEED) on this range poses a security
risk. For example if a jump instruction crosses a page boundary and the
second page gets discarded, it will overwrite the target bytes with zeros
and change the control flow. Checking write-permission before the discard
operation allows us to control when the operation is valid. In this case,
the madvise will only succeed if the executing thread has PKEY write
permissions and PKRU changes are protected in software by control-flow
integrity.
Although the initial version of this patch series is targeting the Chrome
browser as its first user, it became evident during upstream discussions
that we would also want to ensure that the patch set eventually is a
complete solution for memory sealing and compatible with other use cases.
The specific scenario currently in mind is glibc's use case of loading and
sealing ELF executables. To this end, Stephen is working on a change to
glibc to add sealing support to the dynamic linker, which will seal all
non-writable segments at startup. Once this work is completed, all
applications will be able to automatically benefit from these new
protections.
In closing, I would like to formally acknowledge the valuable
contributions received during the RFC process, which were instrumental in
shaping this patch:
Jann Horn: raising awareness and providing valuable insights on the
destructive madvise operations.
Liam R. Howlett: perf optimization.
Linus Torvalds: assisting in defining system call signature and scope.
Theo de Raadt: sharing the experiences and insight gained from
implementing mimmutable() in OpenBSD.
MM perf benchmarks
==================
This patch adds a loop in the mprotect/munmap/madvise(DONTNEED) to
check the VMAs’ sealing flag, so that no partial update can be made,
when any segment within the given memory range is sealed.
To measure the performance impact of this loop, two tests are developed.
[8]
The first is measuring the time taken for a particular system call,
by using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC). The second is using
PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES (exclude user space). Both tests have
similar results.
The tests have roughly below sequence:
for (i = 0; i < 1000, i++)
create 1000 mappings (1 page per VMA)
start the sampling
for (j = 0; j < 1000, j++)
mprotect one mapping
stop and save the sample
delete 1000 mappings
calculates all samples.
Below tests are performed on Intel(R) Pentium(R) Gold 7505 @ 2.00GHz,
4G memory, Chromebook.

Based on the result, for 6.8 kernel, sealing check adds
20-40 nano seconds, or around 50-100 CPU cycles, per VMA.

From 5.10 to 6.8
munmap: added 250-550 ns in time, or 500-1100 in cpu cycle, per vma.
mprotect: added 200-750 ns in time, or 500-1200 in cpu cycle, per vma.
madvise: added 33-50 ns in time, or 70-110 in cpu cycle, per vma.
In comparison to mseal, which adds 20-40 ns or 50-100 CPU cycles, the
increase from 5.10 to 6.8 is significantly larger, approximately ten times
greater for munmap and mprotect.
When I discuss the mm performance with Brian Makin, an engineer who worked
on performance, it was brought to my attention that such performance
benchmarks, which measuring millions of mm syscall in a tight loop, may
not accurately reflect real-world scenarios, such as that of a database
service. Also this is tested using a single HW and ChromeOS, the data
from another HW or distribution might be different. It might be best to
take this data with a grain of salt.
This patch (of 5):
Wire up mseal syscall for all architectures.

Since commit c98d2ecae08f ("s390/mm: Uncouple physical vs virtual address
spaces") the kernel image and module area are within the same 4GB area.
This eliminates the need of a custom insn slot allocator for kprobes within
the kernel image, since standard module_alloc() allocated pages are
sufficient for PC relative instructions with a signed 32 bit offset.

If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.
This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:
[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer
sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
# In another terminal
make
sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
# Back to perf terminal
# ctrl-c
sudo perf probe --del commit_creds
After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.

The old implementation of vmcmd sysfs string attributes truncated passed
z/VM CP diagnose X'008' commands which were longer than the max allowed
number of characters but the reported number of written characters was
still equal to the entire length of a given string. This can result in
silent failures of some s390-tools (e.g. dumpconf) which can be very hard
to detect. Therefore, this commit makes a write attempt to a vmcmd sysfs
attribute
* fail with E2BIG error if a given string is longer than the maximum
allowed one
* never destroy the old data in the vmcmd sysfs attribute if the new data
doesn't fit into it entirely
* return the actual number of written characters if it succeeds

By default user space is compiled with standard stack frame layout and not

sure the vdso is compiled with standard stack frame layout.
This makes sure that the stack frame backchain location for vdso generated
stack frames is the same like for calling code (if compiled with default
options). This allows to manually walk stack frames without DWARF
information, like the kernel is doing it e.g. with arch_stack_walk_user().

module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code.
Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems
that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and
puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code.
Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various
constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes
additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation.
Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc()
and execmem_free() APIs.
Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and
execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all
call sites to use the new APIs.
Since architectures define different restrictions on placement,
permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by
different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes
a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to
allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that
subsystem.

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:
src := $(obj)
When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.
This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.
To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.
Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:
$(obj) - directory in the object tree
$(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit)
$(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
$(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree
Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

When the kernel is built with CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option enabled it
uses dynamic symbols, for which the linker does not allow more
than 64K number of entries. This can break features like kpatch.
Hence, whenever possible the kernel is built with CONFIG_PIE_BUILD
option disabled. For that support of unaligned symbols generated by
linker scripts in the compiler is necessary.
However, older compilers might lack such support. In that case the
build process resorts to CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option-enabled build.
Compile object files with -fPIC option and then link the kernel
binary with -no-pie linker option.
As result, the dynamic symbols are not generated and not only kpatch
feature succeeds, but also the whole CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option-enabled
code could be dropped.

Using __builtin_return_address(n) might return undefined values
when used with values of n outside of the stack. This was noticed
when __builtin_return_address() was called in ftrace on top level
functions like the interrupt handlers.
As this behaviour cannot be fixed, use the s390 stack unwinder and
remove the ftrace compilation flags for unwind_bc.c and stacktrace.c
to prevent the unwinding function polluting function traces.
Another advantage is that this also works with clang.

introduced use of the old os_info into standalone dump kernel.
Before this change os_info_old_init() expected to be called only from
a regular kdump kernel although the function itself is able to work
in standalone dump kernels as well (because copy_oldmem_kernel() is able
to handle both use cases). Therefore, fix the expectation of os_info_old_init()
and enable it to be called from a standalone dump kernel.

Usage:
kconfig options:
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT
- CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG
adds warnings for allocations that weren't accounted because of a
missing annotation
sysctl:
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling
Runtime info:

Notes:
[1]: Overhead
To measure the overhead we are comparing the following configurations:
(1) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n
(2) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n)
(3) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y)
(4) Enabled at runtime (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n && /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling=1)
(5) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y && allocating with __GFP_ACCOUNT
(6) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n) && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
(7) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y) && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
Performance overhead:
To evaluate performance we implemented an in-kernel test executing
multiple get_free_page/free_page and kmalloc/kfree calls with allocation
sizes growing from 8 to 240 bytes with CPU frequency set to max and CPU
affinity set to a specific CPU to minimize the noise. Below are results
from running the test on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS with 6.8.0-rc1 kernel on
56 core Intel Xeon:
kmalloc pgalloc

The recently added check to figure out if a fault happened on gmap ASCE
dereferences the gmap pointer in lowcore without checking that it is not
NULL. For all non-KVM processes the pointer is NULL, so that some value
from lowcore will be read. With the current layouts of struct gmap and
struct lowcore the read value (aka ASCE) is zero, so that this doesn't lead
to any observable bug; at least currently.
Fix this by adding the missing NULL pointer check.

Rework deployment of kernel image for both compressed and
uncompressed variants as defined by CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
kernel configuration variable.
In case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is disabled avoid uncompressing
the kernel to a temporary buffer and copying it to the target
address. Instead, uncompress it directly to the target destination.
In case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is enabled avoid moving the
kernel to default 0x100000 location when KASLR is disabled or
failed. Instead, use the uncompressed kernel image directly.
In case KASLR is disabled or failed .amode31 section location in
memory is not randomized and precedes the kernel image. In case
CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is disabled that location overlaps the
area used by the decompression algorithm. That is fine, since that
area is not used after the decompression finished and the size of
.amode31 section is not expected to exceed BOOT_HEAP_SIZE ever.
There is no decompression in case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is
enabled. Therefore, rename decompress_kernel() to deploy_kernel(),
which better describes both uncompressed and compressed cases.
Introduce AMODE31_SIZE macro to avoid immediate value of 0x3000
(the size of .amode31 section) in the decompressor linker script.
Modify the vmlinux linker script to force the size of .amode31
section to AMODE31_SIZE (the value of (_eamode31 - _samode31)
could otherwise differ as result of compiler options used).
Introduce __START_KERNEL macro that defines the kernel ELF image
entry point and set it to the currrent value of 0x100000.

This is a preparatory rework to allow uncoupling virtual
and physical addresses spaces.
The vmcore ELF program headers describe virtual memory
regions of a crashed kernel. User level tools use that
information for the kernel text and data analysis (e.g
vmcore-dmesg extracts the kernel log).
Currently the kernel image is covered by program headers
describing the identity mapping regions. But in the future
the kernel image will be mapped into separate region outside
of the identity mapping. Create the additional ELF program
header that covers kernel image only, so that vmcore tools
could locate kernel text and data.
Further, the identity mapping in crashed and capture kernels
will have different base address. Due to that __va() macro
can not be used in the capture kernel. Instead, read crashed
kernel identity mapping base address from os_info and use
it for PT_LOAD type program headers creation.
