[PATCH v3 0/2] arm64/acpi: restrict AML opregion memory access

[Ard Biesheuvel]

v2:
- do a more elaborate check on the region, against the EFI memory map

v3:
- split into two patches
- fallback to __ioremap() for ACPI reclaim memory, in case it is not covered
  by the linear mapping (e.g., when booting a kdump kernel)

[PATCH v3 1/2] arm64/acpi: disallow AML memory opregions to access kernel memory

[Ard Biesheuvel]

AML uses SystemMemory opregions to allow AML handlers to access MMIO
registers of, e.g., GPIO controllers, or access reserved regions of
memory that are owned by the firmware.

Currently, we also allow AML access to memory that is owned by the
kernel and mapped via the linear region, which does not seem to be
supported by a valid use case, and exposes the kernel's internal
state to AML methods that may be buggy and exploitable.

On arm64, ACPI support requires booting in EFI mode, and so we can cross
reference the requested region against the EFI memory map, rather than
just do a minimal check on the first page. So let's only permit regions
to be remapped by the ACPI core if
- they don't appear in the EFI memory map at all (which is the case for
  most MMIO), or
- they are covered by a single region in the EFI memory map, which is not
  of a type that describes memory that is given to the kernel at boot.

[PATCH v3 2/2] arm64/acpi: disallow writeable AML opregion mapping for EFI code regions

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Given that the contents of EFI runtime code and data regions are
provided by the firmware, as well as the DSDT, it is not unimaginable
that AML code exists today that accesses EFI runtime code regions using
a SystemMemory OpRegion. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that,
but since we take great care to ensure that executable code is never
mapped writeable and executable at the same time, we should not permit
AML to create writable mapping.

With some adult supervision from James (thanks!), I have given this a
spin myself with kexec under QEMU/kvm, to boot a crashkernel, and
everything works as expected.

Unfortunately this seems to have broken overriding of ACPI tables from an initrd.
My particular test environment is qemu + EDK2.

It only has obvious visible affect on tables that are used late in the boot such as PPTT
as they get dropped before they are used.

These are read after ACPICA is initialized and acpi_reallocate_root_table()
has been called.  The back trace is:

acpi_os_ioremap+0xfc/0x288
acpi_os_map_iomem+0xc4/0x188
acpi_os_map_memory+0x18/0x28
acpi_tb_acquire_table+0x54/0x8c
acpi_tb_validate_table+0x34/0x5c
acpi_tb_validate_temp_table+0x34/0x40
acpi_tb_verify_temp_table+0x48/0x250
acpi_reallocate_root_table+0x12c/0x160

Seems that the table is in a region of type EFI_LOADER_DATA.

I don't really know enough about this area to be sure what the right fix is or
even whether this is a kernel issue, or one that should be fixed elsewhere in
the stack.

For now I'm just carry a hack that treats EFI_LOADER_DATA in the same fashion as
EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY below.

What's the right way to fix this?

Hi Jonathan,

That is an excellent question.

The purpose of this change is to ensure that firmware cannot
manipulate the internal state of the kernel. So as long as we can
ensure that this memory is not claimed by the kernel's memory
subsystem, we should be fine.

Since this is an obvious debug feature, what we could do is reserve
this memory permanently in some way, and make the test take this into
account.

Do you have a full stack trace? How early does this run?

Whilst it is a debug feature, I wonder if it gets shipped in production
hardware.  If not, could be we cynical and just drop the check if the
relevant config option is enabled?

Perhaps just don't release the EFI_LOADER_DATA for other use? (if
this option is enabled only)

For the place where it first occurs, ie the trace above, the acpi_reallocate_root_table() is
the call from acpi_early_init() from start_kernel().

We hit the table a lot during later calls though and hence would run into the
same problem.

Could you try the patch below? Since the memory holding the tables is
already memblock_reserve()d, we can just mark it NOMAP, and permit r/o
remapping of NOMAP regions.

Looks good.  Thanks.

Could you please try the updated patch that Ard posted. There are a few
minor differences:

I'm booting Lenovo Flex 5G laptop with ACPI, and seeing this change
causes a memory abort[1] when upgrading ACPI tables via initrd[2].
Dropping this change seems to fix the issue for me.  But does that
looks like a correct fix to you?

Can you check whether reverting

32cf1a12cad43358e47dac8014379c2f33dfbed4

fixes the issue too?

If it does, please report this as a regression. The OS should not
modify firmware provided tables in-place, regardless of how they were
delivered.

BTW I recently started using my Yoga C630 with Debian, and I am quite
happy with it! Thanks a lot for spending the time on the installer
etc.

I have observed some issues while using mine - I'm happy to share
them, on a mailing list or anywhere else.

That patch modifies firmware provided tables in-place, which
invalidates checksums and TPM measurements, so it needs to be reverted
in any case, and I have already sent out  the patch for doing so.
