[PATCH v4 1/8] powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines

[Russell Currey]

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>

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.

[PATCH v4 2/8] powerpc/kprobes: Mark newly allocated probes as RO

[Russell Currey]

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>

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.

[PATCH v4 3/8] 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.

[PATCH v4 4/8] 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 v4 6/8] powerpc/mm: implement set_memory_attr()

[Russell Currey]

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>

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.

[PATCH v4 7/8] powerpc/32: use set_memory_attr()

[Russell Currey]

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>

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

change_page_attr() was checking that the address was not mapped by
blocks and was handling highmem, but that's unneeded because the
affected pages can't be in highmem and block mapping verification
is already done by the callers.

[PATCH v4 8/8] powerpc/mm: Disable set_memory() routines when strict RWX isn't enabled

[Russell Currey]

There are a couple of reasons that the set_memory() functions are
problematic when STRICT_KERNEL_RWX isn't enabled:

 - The linear mapping is a different size and apply_to_page_range()
	may modify a giant section, breaking everything
 - patch_instruction() doesn't know to work around a page being marked
 	RO, and will subsequently crash

The latter can be replicated by building a kernel with the set_memory()
patches but with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX off and running ftracetest.

I don't understand.

Is patch_instruction() involved at all ?

Isn't it change_memory_attr() that is a problem for you ?

Doing this you break patch 7:
mark_initmem_nx() is called regardless of CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
__kernel_map_pages() depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC which doesn't 
depend on CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX

You don't need to move start and size calculation and change the above.
