[PATCH 3/6] Protectable Memory

From: Igor Stoppa
Date: Mon Mar 26 2018 - 21:56:57 EST


The MMU available in many systems running Linux can often provide R/O
protection to the memory pages it handles.

However, the MMU-based protection works efficiently only when said pages
contain exclusively data that will not need further modifications.

Statically allocated variables can be segregated into a dedicated
section, but this does not sit very well with dynamically allocated
ones.

Dynamic allocation does not provide, currently, any means for grouping
variables in memory pages that would contain exclusively data suitable
for conversion to read only access mode.

The allocator here provided (pmalloc - protectable memory allocator)
introduces the concept of pools of protectable memory.

A module can request a pool and then refer any allocation request to the
pool handler it has received.

A pool is organized in areas of virtually contiguous memory.
Whenever the protection functionality is invoked on a pool, all the
areas it contains are marked as read-only.

The process of growing and protecting the pool can be iterated at will.

The pool can only be destroyed (it is up to its user to avoid any further
references to the memory from the pool, after the destruction is invoked).

The latter case is mainly meant for releasing memory, when a module is
unloaded.

A module can have as many pools as needed, for example to support the
protection of data that is initialized in sufficiently distinct phases.

Since pmalloc memory is obtained from vmalloc, an attacker that has
gained access to the physical mapping, still has to identify where the
target of the attack is actually located.

At the same time, being also based on genalloc, pmalloc does not
generate as much trashing of the TLB as it would be caused by only using
directly vmalloc.

+ * Library for dynamic allocation of pools of protectable memory.
+ * A pool is a single linked list of vmap_area structures.
+ * Whenever a pool is protected, all the areas it contain at that point
+ * are write protected.
+ * More areas can be added and protected, in the same way.
+ * Memory in a pool cannot be individually unprotected, but the pool can
+ * be destroyed.
+ * Upon destruction of a certain pool, all the related memory is released,
+ * including its metadata.
+ *
+ * Pmalloc memory is intended to complement __read_only_after_init.
+ * It can be used, for example, where there is a write-once variable, for
+ * which it is not possible to know the initialization value before init
+ * is completed (which is what __read_only_after_init requires).
+ *
+ * It can be useful also where the amount of data to protect is not known
+ * at compile time and the memory can only be allocated dynamically.
+ *
+ * Finally, it can be useful also when it is desirable to control
+ * dynamically (for example throguh the command line) if something ought
+ * to be protected or not, without having to rebuild the kernel (like in
+ * the build used for a linux distro).
