[PATCH v2 1/7] powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines

[Christophe Leroy]

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.

v2:
- use integers instead of pointers for action
- drop action check, nobody should call change_memory_attr() directly.
Should it happen, the function will just do nothing.
- Renamed confusing 'pte_val' var to 'pte' as pte_val() is already a function.

[PATCH v2 2/7] powerpc/kprobes: Mark newly allocated probes as RO

[Christophe Leroy]

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.

Very rudimentary, just

	echo 1 > [debugfs]/check_wx_pages

[PATCH v2 4/7] powerpc: Set ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX

[Christophe Leroy]

From: Russell Currey <ruscur@russell.cc>

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 v2 5/7] powerpc/configs: Enable STRICT_MODULE_RWX in skiroot_defconfig

[Christophe Leroy]

From: Russell Currey <ruscur@russell.cc>

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.

[PATCH v2 6/7] powerpc/mm: implement set_memory_attr()

[Christophe Leroy]

In addition to the set_memory_xx() functions which allows to change
the memory attributes of not (yet) used memory regions, implement a
set_memory_attr() function to:
- set the final memory protection after init on currently used
kernel regions.
- enable/disable kernel memory regions in the scope of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

Unlike the set_memory_xx() which can act in three step as the regions
are unused, this function must modify 'on the fly' as the kernel is
executing from them. At the moment only PPC32 will use it and changing
page attributes on the fly is not an issue.

Use set_memory_attr() instead of the PPC32 specific change_page_attr()

change_page_attr() was checking that the address was not mapped by

is already done by the callers.

Since this can be called multiple times on the same page, can avoid by
implementing:

void *alloc_insn_page(void)
{
	void *page;

	page = vmalloc_exec(PAGE_SIZE);
	if (page)
		set_memory_ro((unsigned long)page, 1);

	return page;
}

Which is pretty much the same as what's in arm64.  Works for me and
passes ftracetest, I was originally doing this but cut it because it
broke with the memcpy, but works with patch_instruction().
