[PATCH 18/32] mm: add gup flag to indicate "foreign" mm access
From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Dec 14 2015 - 14:11:30 EST
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
We try to enforce protection keys in software the same way that we
do in hardware. (See long example below).
But, we only want to do this when accessing our *own* process's
memory. If GDB set PKRU[6].AD=1 (disable access to PKEY 6), then
tried to PTRACE_POKE a target process which just happened to have
some mprotect_pkey(pkey=6) memory, we do *not* want to deny the
debugger access to that memory. PKRU is fundamentally a
thread-local structure and we do not want to enforce it on access
to _another_ thread's data.
This gets especially tricky when we have workqueues or other
delayed-work mechanisms that might run in a random process's context.
We can check that we only enforce pkeys when operating on our *own* mm,
but delayed work gets performed when a random user context is active.
We might end up with a situation where a delayed-work gup fails when
running randomly under its "own" task but succeeds when running under
another process. We want to avoid that.
To avoid that, we add a GUP flag: FOLL_FOREIGN and a fault flag:
FAULT_FLAG_FOREIGN. They indicate that we are walking an mm
which is not guranteed to be the same as current->mm and should
not be subject to protection key enforcement.
Thanks to Jerome Glisse for pointing out this scenario.
*** Why do we enforce protection keys in software?? ***
Imagine that we disabled access to the memory pointer to by 'buf'.
The, we implemented sys_write() like this:
sys_read(fd, buf, len...)
{
struct page *page = follow_page(buf);
void *buf_mapped = kmap(page);
memcpy(buf_mapped, fd_data, len);
...
}
This writes to 'buf' via a *kernel* mapping, without a protection
key. While this implementation does the same thing:
sys_read(fd, buf, len...)
{
copy_to_user(buf, fd_data, len);
...
}
but would hit a protection key fault because the userspace 'buf'
mapping has a protection key set.
To provide consistency, and to make key-protected memory work
as much like mprotect()ed memory as possible, we try to enforce
the same protections as the hardware would when the *kernel* walks
the page tables (and other mm structures).
