Hi,

here is a small patch-set to sync unmappings in the
vmalloc/ioremap areas between page-tables in the system.

This is only needed x86-32 with !SHARED_KERNEL_PMD, which is
the case on a PAE kernel with PTI enabled.

On affected systems the missing sync causes old mappings to
persist in some page-tables, causing data corruption and
other undefined behavior.

Please review.

Thanks,

	Joerg

Changes v2 -> v3:

	- Moved the vmalloc_sync_all() call to the lazy vmap
	  purge function as requested by Andy Lutomirski

	- Made sure that the code in vmalloc_sync_all()
	  really iterates over all pgds (pointed out by
	  Thomas Gleixner)

	- Added a couple of comments

Changes v1 -> v2:
 
	- Added correct Fixes-tags to all patches

Joerg Roedel (3):
  x86/mm: Check for pfn instead of page in vmalloc_sync_one()
  x86/mm: Sync also unmappings in vmalloc_sync_all()
  mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in vunmap_page_range()

Do not require a struct page for the mapped memory location
because it might not exist. This can happen when an
ioremapped region is mapped with 2MB pages.

With huge-page ioremap areas the unmappings also need to be
synced between all page-tables. Otherwise it can cause data
corruption when a region is unmapped and later re-used.

Make the vmalloc_sync_one() function ready to sync
unmappings and make sure vmalloc_sync_all() iterates over
all page-tables even when an unmapped PMD is found.

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables
are not shared between processes. This can cause mappings in
the vmalloc/ioremap area to persist in some page-tables
after the region is unmapped and released.

When the region is re-used the processes with the old
mappings do not fault in the new mappings but still access
the old ones.

This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data
corruption, kernel oopses and panics and even spontaneous
reboots.

Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the
vmalloc/ioremap area to all page-tables in the system before
the regions can be re-used.

Srewed up the subject :(, it needs to be

	"mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in __purge_vmap_area_lazy()"

of course.

Okay, I move it to __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). That looks like the right
place.

Could you move the vmalloc_sync_all() call to the lazy purge path,
though?  If nothing else, it will cause it to be called fewer times
under any given workload, and it looks like it could be rather slow on
x86_32.

Ugh, fair enough.

Yeah, I found that too, there is no real design around
vmalloc_sync_all(). It looks like it was just added to fit the purpose
on x86-32. That also makes it hard to find all necessary call-sites.

Close, the underlying issue is not about PGD, but PMD entry
addition/removal on x86-32 pae systems.

> architectures handle this?

The problem on x86-PAE arises from the !SHARED_KERNEL_PMD case, which was
introduced by the  Xen-PV patches and then re-used for the PTI-x32
enablement to be able to map the LDT into user-space at a fixed address.

Other architectures probably don't have the !SHARED_KERNEL_PMD case (or
do unsharing of kernel page-tables on any level where a huge-page could
be mapped).

Okay, as it stands, it promises to sync mappings for the vmalloc area
between all PGDs in the system. I will add that as a comment.

> But maybe a better fix is to add code to flush_tlb_kernel_range()

That would also cause needless overhead on x86-64 because the vmalloc
area doesn't need syncing there. I can make it x86-32 only, but that is
not a clean solution imo.

There is not enough address space on x86-32 to partition it like on
x86-64. In the default PAE configuration there are _four_ PGD entries,
usually one for the kernel, and then 512 PMD entries. Partitioning
happens on the PMD level, for example there is one entry (2MB of address
space) reserved for the user-space LDT mapping.

I find it problematic that there is no meaningful documentation as to
what vmalloc_sync_all() is supposed to do.  The closest I can find is
this comment by following the x86_64 code, which calls
sync_global_pgds(), which says:

/*
 * When memory was added make sure all the processes MM have
 * suitable PGD entries in the local PGD level page.
 */
void sync_global_pgds(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{

Which is obviously entirely inapplicable.  If I'm understanding
correctly, the underlying issue here is that the vmalloc fault
mechanism can propagate PGD entry *addition*, but nothing (not even
flush_tlb_kernel_range()) propagates PGD entry *removal*.

I find it suspicious that only x86 has this.  How do other
architectures handle this?

At the very least, I think this series needs a comment in
vmalloc_sync_all() explaining exactly what the function promises to
do.  But maybe a better fix is to add code to flush_tlb_kernel_range()
to sync the vmalloc area if the flushed range overlaps the vmalloc
area.  Or, even better, improve x86_32 the way we did x86_64: adjust
the memory mapping code such that top-level paging entries are never
deleted in the first place.

Imo this is the logical place to handle this. The code first unmaps the
area from the init_mm page-table and then syncs that page-table to all
other page-tables in the system, so one place to update the page-tables.

Performance-wise it makes no difference if we put that into
_vm_unmap_aliases(), as that is called in the vmunmap path too. But it
is right that vmunmap/iounmap performance on x86-64 will decrease to
some degree. If that is a problem for some workloads I can also
implement a complete separate code-path which just syncs unmappings and
is only implemented for x86-32 with !SHARED_KERNEL_PMD.

Regards,

	Joerg

I'm confused.  Shouldn't the code in _vm_unmap_aliases handle this?
As it stands, won't your patch hurt performance on x86_64?  If x86_32
is a special snowflake here, maybe flush_tlb_kernel_range() should
handle this?

Even if your patch is correct, a comment would be nice

On x86-32 with PTI enabled, parts of the kernel page-tables
are not shared between processes. This can cause mappings in
the vmalloc/ioremap area to persist in some page-tables
after the regions is unmapped and released.

When the region is re-used the processes with the old
mappings do not fault in the new mappings but still access
the old ones.

This causes undefined behavior, in reality often data
corruption, kernel oopses and panics and even spontaneous
reboots.

Fix this problem by activly syncing unmaps in the
vmalloc/ioremap area to all page-tables in the system.
