[PATCH v12 0/2] arm64: Enable BTI for the executable as well as the interpreter

[PATCH v12 0/2] arm64: Enable BTI for the executable as well as the interpreter

[Mark Brown]

Deployments of BTI on arm64 have run into issues interacting with
systemd's MemoryDenyWriteExecute feature.  Currently for dynamically
linked executables the kernel will only handle architecture specific
properties like BTI for the interpreter, the expectation is that the
interpreter will then handle any properties on the main executable.
For BTI this means remapping the executable segments PROT_EXEC |
PROT_BTI.

This interacts poorly with MemoryDenyWriteExecute since that is
implemented using a seccomp filter which prevents setting PROT_EXEC on
already mapped memory and lacks the context to be able to detect that
memory is already mapped with PROT_EXEC.  This series resolves this by
providing a sysctl which when enabled will cause the kernel to handle
the BTI property for both the interpreter and the main executable.

v12:
 - Rebase onto v5.18-rc1.
v11:
 - Ignore extra PT_INTERPs.
v10:
 - Add a sysctl abi.bti_main controlling the new behaviour.
v9:
 - Rebase onto v5.17-rc3.
v8:
 - Rebase onto v5.17-rc1.
v7:
 - Rebase onto v5.16-rc1.
v6:
 - Rebase onto v5.15-rc1.
v5:
 - Rebase onto v5.14-rc2.
 - Tweak changelog on patch 1.
 - Use the helper for interpreter/executable flag in elf.h as well.
v4:
 - Rebase onto v5.14-rc1.
v3:
 - Fix passing of properties for parsing by the main executable.
 - Drop has_interp from arch_parse_elf_property().
 - Coding style tweaks.
v2:
 - Add a patch dropping has_interp from arch_adjust_elf_prot()
 - Fix bisection issue with static executables on arm64 in the first
   patch.

[PATCH v12 1/2] elf: Allow architectures to parse properties on the main executable

[Mark Brown]

Currently the ELF code only attempts to parse properties on the image
that will start execution, either the interpreter or for statically linked
executables the main executable. The expectation is that any property
handling for the main executable will be done by the interpreter. This is
a bit inconsistent since we do map the executable and is causing problems
for the arm64 BTI support when used in conjunction with systemd's use of
seccomp to implement MemoryDenyWriteExecute which stops the dynamic linker
adjusting the permissions of executable segments.

Allow architectures to handle properties for both the dynamic linker and
main executable, adjusting arch_parse_elf_properties() to have a new
flag is_interp flag as with arch_elf_adjust_prot() and calling it for
both the main executable and any intepreter.

The user of this code, arm64, is adapted to ensure that there is no
functional change.

[PATCH v12 2/2] arm64: Enable BTI for main executable as well as the interpreter

[Mark Brown]

Currently for dynamically linked ELF executables we only enable BTI for
the interpreter, expecting the interpreter to do this for the main
executable. This is a bit inconsistent since we do map main executable and
is causing issues with systemd's MemoryDenyWriteExecute feature which is
implemented using a seccomp filter which prevents setting PROT_EXEC on
already mapped memory and lacks the context to be able to detect that
memory is already mapped with PROT_EXEC.

Resolve this by adding a sysctl abi.bti_main which causes the kernel to
checking the BTI property for the main executable and enable BTI if it
is present when doing the initial mapping. This sysctl is disabled by
default.

[PATCH v12 2/2] arm64: Enable BTI for main executable as well as the interpreter

[Mark Brown]

Currently for dynamically linked ELF executables we only enable BTI for
the interpreter, expecting the interpreter to do this for the main
executable. This is a bit inconsistent since we do map main executable and
is causing issues with systemd's MemoryDenyWriteExecute feature which is
implemented using a seccomp filter which prevents setting PROT_EXEC on
already mapped memory and lacks the context to be able to detect that
memory is already mapped with PROT_EXEC.

Resolve this by adding a sysctl abi.bti_main which causes the kernel to
checking the BTI property for the main executable and enable BTI if it
is present when doing the initial mapping. This sysctl is disabled by
default.
