From a8aed3e0752b4beb2e37cbed6df69faae88268da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:11:51 -0800 Subject: x86/mm/pageattr: Prevent PSE and GLOABL leftovers to confuse pmd/pte_present and pmd_huge Without this patch any kernel code that reads kernel memory in non present kernel pte/pmds (as set by pageattr.c) will crash. With this kernel code: static struct page *crash_page; static unsigned long *crash_address; [..] crash_page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 9); crash_address = page_address(crash_page); if (set_memory_np((unsigned long)crash_address, 1)) printk("set_memory_np failure\n"); [..] The kernel will crash if inside the "crash tool" one would try to read the memory at the not present address. crash> p crash_address crash_address = $8 = (long unsigned int *) 0xffff88023c000000 crash> rd 0xffff88023c000000 [ *lockup* ] The lockup happens because _PAGE_GLOBAL and _PAGE_PROTNONE shares the same bit, and pageattr leaves _PAGE_GLOBAL set on a kernel pte which is then mistaken as _PAGE_PROTNONE (so pte_present returns true by mistake and the kernel fault then gets confused and loops). With THP the same can happen after we taught pmd_present to check _PAGE_PROTNONE and _PAGE_PSE in commit 027ef6c87853b0a9df5317 ("mm: thp: fix pmd_present for split_huge_page and PROT_NONE with THP"). THP has the same problem with _PAGE_GLOBAL as the 4k pages, but it also has a problem with _PAGE_PSE, which must be cleared too. After the patch is applied copy_user correctly returns -EFAULT and doesn't lockup anymore. crash> p crash_address crash_address = $9 = (long unsigned int *) 0xffff88023c000000 crash> rd 0xffff88023c000000 rd: read error: kernel virtual address: ffff88023c000000 type: "64-bit KVADDR" Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Shaohua Li Cc: "H.
