Thanks for the feedback, hopefully this is the final iteration.  I have a patch
to remove the STRICT_KERNEL_RWX incompatibility with RELOCATABLE for book3s64
coming soon, so with that we should have a great basis for powerpc RWX going
forward.

[PATCH v6 1/5] powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines

[Russell Currey]

The set_memory_{ro/rw/nx/x}() functions are required for STRICT_MODULE_RWX,
and are generally useful primitives to have.  This implementation is
designed to be completely generic across powerpc's many MMUs.

It's possible that this could be optimised to be faster for specific
MMUs, but the focus is on having a generic and safe implementation for
now.

This implementation does not handle cases where the caller is attempting
to change the mapping of the page it is executing from, or if another
CPU is concurrently using the page being altered.  These cases likely
shouldn't happen, but a more complex implementation with MMU-specific code
could safely handle them, so that is left as a TODO for now.

Maybe going from 0 to 3 would be better than 1 to 4

CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY is set inconditionnally, I think you should 
add pageattr.o to obj-y instead. CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_XXX are almost never 
used in Makefiles

Don't use pointers for so simple things, pointers forces the compiler to 
setup a stack frame and save the data into stack. Instead do:

	int action = (int)data;

Why flush a range for a single page ? On most targets this will do a 
tlbia which is heavy, while a tlbie would suffice.

I think flush_tlb_kernel_range() should be replaced by something 
flushing only a single page.

Is it worth checking that the action is valid for each page ? I think 
validity of action should be checked in change_memory_attr(). All other 
functions are static so you know they won't be called from outside.

Once done, you can squash __change_page_attr() into change_page_attr(), 
remove the ret var and return 0 all the time.

Use (void*)action instead of &action (see upper comment)

Maybe going from 0 to 3 would be better than 1 to 4

CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY is set inconditionnally, I think you should 
add pageattr.o to obj-y instead. CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_XXX are almost never 
used in Makefiles

Don't use pointers for so simple things, pointers forces the compiler to 
setup a stack frame and save the data into stack. Instead do:

	int action = (int)data;

Why flush a range for a single page ? On most targets this will do a 
tlbia which is heavy, while a tlbie would suffice.

I think flush_tlb_kernel_range() should be replaced by something 
flushing only a single page.

You might be able to help me out here, I wanted to do that but the only
functions I could find that flushed single pages needed a
vm_area_struct, which I can't get.

Makes sense to fold things into a single function, but in terms of
performance it shouldn't make a difference, right?  I still have to
check the action to determine what to change (unless I replace passing
SET_MEMORY_RO into apply_to_page_range() with a function pointer to
pte_wrprotect() for example).

To get this to work I had to use (void *)(size_t)action to stop the
compiler from complaining about casting an int to a void*, is there a
better way to go about it?  Works fine, just looks gross.

You might be able to help me out here, I wanted to do that but the only
functions I could find that flushed single pages needed a
vm_area_struct, which I can't get.

Makes sense to fold things into a single function, but in terms of
performance it shouldn't make a difference, right?  I still have to
check the action to determine what to change (unless I replace passing
SET_MEMORY_RO into apply_to_page_range() with a function pointer to
pte_wrprotect() for example).

To get this to work I had to use (void *)(size_t)action to stop the
compiler from complaining about casting an int to a void*, is there a
better way to go about it?  Works fine, just looks gross.

I sent out two patches for that, one for book3s/32 and one for nohash:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1231983/
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1232223/

Maybe one for book3s/64 would be needed as well ? Can you do it if needed ?

pte_val is really not a good naming, because pte_val() is already a 
function which returns the value of a pte_t var.

Here you should name it 'pte' as usual.

[PATCH v6 2/5] powerpc/kprobes: Mark newly allocated probes as RO

[Russell Currey]

With CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y and CONFIG_KPROBES=y, there will be one
W+X page at boot by default.  This can be tested with
CONFIG_PPC_PTDUMP=y and CONFIG_PPC_DEBUG_WX=y set, and checking the
kernel log during boot.

powerpc doesn't implement its own alloc() for kprobes like other
architectures do, but we couldn't immediately mark RO anyway since we do
a memcpy to the page we allocate later.  After that, nothing should be
allowed to modify the page, and write permissions are removed well
before the kprobe is armed.

The memcpy() would fail if >1 probes were allocated, so use
patch_instruction() instead which is safe for RO.

I don't really understand, why do you need to set this ro ? Or why do 
you need to change the memcpy() to patch_instruction() if the area is 
not already ro ?

If I understand correctly, p->ainsn.insn is within a special executable 
page allocated via module_alloc(). Wouldn't it be more correct to modify 
kprobe get_insn_slot() logic so that allocated page is ROX instead of RWX ?

[PATCH v6 3/5] powerpc/mm/ptdump: debugfs handler for W+X checks at runtime

[Russell Currey]

Very rudimentary, just

	echo 1 > [debugfs]/check_wx_pages

and check the kernel log.  Useful for testing strict module RWX.

Updated the Kconfig entry to reflect this.

Also fixed a typo.

For testing strict module RWX you could instead implement  
module_arch_freeing_init() and call  ptdump_check_wx() from there.

That could get expensive on large systems, not sure if we want it
enabled by default?

That could get expensive on large systems, not sure if we want it
enabled by default?

cheers

[PATCH v6 4/5] powerpc: Set ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX

[Russell Currey]

To enable strict module RWX on powerpc, set:

    CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y

You should also have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y set to have any real
security benefit.

ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set to require ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
This is due to a quirk in arch/Kconfig and arch/powerpc/Kconfig that
makes STRICT_MODULE_RWX *on by default* in configurations where
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is *unavailable*.

Since this doesn't make much sense, and module RWX without kernel RWX
doesn't make much sense, having the same dependencies as kernel RWX
works around this problem.

[PATCH v6 5/5] powerpc/configs: Enable STRICT_MODULE_RWX in skiroot_defconfig

[Russell Currey]

skiroot_defconfig is the only powerpc defconfig with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
enabled, and if you want memory protection for kernel text you'd want it
for modules too, so enable STRICT_MODULE_RWX there.
