[PATCH 18/31] mm: do not enforce PKEY permissions on "foreign" mm access
From: Dave Hansen
Date: Fri Jan 29 2016 - 13:23:15 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 use the new GUP flag: FOLL_FOREIGN and add 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).
