[PATCH v3] KVM: arm64: Use BTI for nvhe

From: Mostafa Saleh
Date: Tue May 30 2023 - 11:09:30 EST


CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL compiles the kernel to support ARMv8.5-BTI.
However, the nvhe code doesn't make use of it as it doesn't map any
pages with Guarded Page(GP) bit.

kvm pgtable code is modified to map executable pages with GP bit
if BTI is enabled for the kernel.

At hyp init, SCTLR_EL2.BT is set to 1 to match EL1 configuration
(SCTLR_EL1.BT1) set in bti_enable().

One difference between kernel and nvhe code, is that the kernel maps
.text with GP while nvhe maps all the executable pages, this makes
nvhe code need to deal with special initialization code coming from
other executable sections (.idmap.text).
For this we need to add bti instruction at the beginning of
__kvm_handle_stub_hvc as it can be called by __host_hvc through
branch instruction(br) and unlike SYM_FUNC_START, SYM_CODE_START
doesn’t add bti instruction at the beginning, and it can’t be modified
to add it as it is used with vector tables.
Another solution which is more intrusive is to convert
__kvm_handle_stub_hvc to a function and inject “bti jc” instead of
“bti c” in SYM_FUNC_START

v2 -> v3:
- Map all executable pages with GP bit instead of just .text, this
simplifies the code and avoids hacks in pgtable code.
v1 -> v2:
- Enable BTI for nvhe also.
- Only set GP bit for executable pages from pgtable code.
- Set SCTLR_EL2.BT when BTI is used.
- use system_supports_bti() for consistency.
- Add hyp_init_valid_leaf_pte.
