[RFC v3 7/9] Trampoline emulation

From: Salvatore Mesoraca
Date: Mon Sep 11 2017 - 15:52:36 EST


Some programs need to generate part of their code at runtime. Luckily
enough, in some cases they only generate well-known code sequences (the
"trampolines") that can be easily recognized and emulated by the kernel.
This way WX Protection can still be active, so a potential attacker won't
be able to generate arbitrary sequences of code, but just those that are
explicitly allowed. This is not ideal, but it's still better than having WX
Protection completely disabled.
In particular S.A.R.A. is able to recognize trampolines used by GCC for
nested C functions and libffi's trampolines.
This feature is implemented only on x86_32 and x86_64.
Trampoline emulation is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the
last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code.
Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the
original grsecurity/PaX code.

+ Some programs and libraries need to execute special small code
+ snippets from non-executable memory pages.
+ Most notable examples are the GCC and libffi trampolines.
+ This features make it possible to execute those trampolines even
+ if they reside in non-executable memory pages.
+ This features need to be enabled on a per-executable basis
+ via user-space utilities.
+ See Documentation/admin-guide/LSM/SARA.rst. for further information.

+ If unsure, answer y.
