[PATCH 1/5] powerpc/64s: Guarded Userspace Access Prevention

Russell Currey ruscur at russell.cc
Fri Oct 26 17:35:09 AEDT 2018


Guarded Userspace Access Prevention (GUAP)  utilises a feature of
the Radix MMU which disallows read and write access to userspace
addresses.  By utilising this, the kernel is prevented from accessing
user data from outside of trusted paths that perform proper safety checks,
such as copy_{to/from}_user() and friends.

Userspace access is disabled from early boot and is only enabled when:

	- exiting the kernel and entering userspace
	- performing an operation like copy_{to/from}_user()
	- context switching to a process that has access enabled

and similarly, access is disabled again when exiting userspace and entering
the kernel.

This feature has a slight performance impact which I roughly measured to be
3% slower in the worst case (performing 1GB of 1 byte read()/write()
syscalls), and is gated behind the CONFIG_PPC_RADIX_GUAP option for
performance-critical builds.

This feature can be tested by using the lkdtm driver (CONFIG_LKDTM=y) and
performing the following:

	echo ACCESS_USERSPACE > [debugfs]/provoke-crash/DIRECT

if enabled, this should send SIGSEGV to the thread.

Since the previous version of this patchset (named KHRAP) there have been
several changes, some of which include:

        - macro naming, suggested by Nick
        - builds should be fixed outside of 64s
        - no longer unlock heading out to userspace
        - removal of unnecessary isyncs
        - more config option testing
        - removal of save/restore
        - use pr_crit() and reword message on fault
