Hi x86 maintainers,

This set is basically unchanged from the last post.  There was
some previous discussion about other ways to fix this with the ppc
folks (Ram Pai), but we've concluded that this x86-specific fix is
fine.  I think Ram had a different fix for ppc.

Changes from v2:
 * Clarified commit message in patch 1/9 taking some feedback from
   Shuah.

Changes from v1:
 * Added Fixes: and cc'd stable.  No code changes.

--

This fixes two bugs, and adds selftests to make sure they stay fixed:

1. pkey 0 was not usable via mprotect_pkey() because it had never
   been explicitly allocated.
2. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) memory could sometimes be left with the
   implicit exec-only protection key assigned.

I already posted #1 previously.  I'm including them both here because
I don't think it's been picked up in case folks want to pull these
all in a single bundle.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

mm_pkey_is_allocated() treats pkey 0 as unallocated.  That is
inconsistent with the manpages, and also inconsistent with
mm->context.pkey_allocation_map.  Stop special casing it and only
disallow values that are actually bad (< 0).

The end-user visible effect of this is that you can now use
mprotect_pkey() to set pkey=0.

This is a bit nicer than what Ram proposed because it is simpler
and removes special-casing for pkey 0.  On the other hand, it does
allow applciations to pkey_free() pkey-0, but that's just a silly
thing to do, so we are not going to protect against it.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

This makes it possible to to tell what 'prot' a given allocation
is supposed to have.  That way, if we want to change just the
pkey, we know what 'prot' to pass to mprotect_pkey().

Also, keep a record of the most recent allocation so the tests
can easily find it.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Protection key 0 is the default key for all memory and will
not normally come back from pkey_alloc().  But, you might
still want pass it to mprotect_pkey().

This check ensures that you can use pkey 0.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

I got a bug report that the following code (roughly) was
causing a SIGSEGV:

	mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_EXEC);
	mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_NONE);
	mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_READ);
	*ptr = 100;

The problem is hit when the mprotect(PROT_EXEC)
is implicitly assigned a protection key to the VMA, and made
that key ACCESS_DENY|WRITE_DENY.  The PROT_NONE mprotect()
failed to remove the protection key, and the PROT_NONE->
PROT_READ left the PTE usable, but the pkey still in place
and left the memory inaccessible.

To fix this, we ensure that we always "override" the pkee
at mprotect() if the VMA does not have execute-only
permissions, but the VMA has the execute-only pkey.

We had a check for PROT_READ/WRITE, but it did not work
for PROT_NONE.  This entirely removes the PROT_* checks,
which ensures that PROT_NONE now works.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

We dump out the entire area of the siginfo where the si_pkey_ptr is
supposed to be.  But, we do some math on the poitner, which is a u32.
We intended to do byte math, not u32 math on the pointer.

Cast it over to a u8* so it works.

Also, move this block of code to below th si_code check.  It doesn't
hurt anything, but the si_pkey field is gibberish for other signal
types.

In our "exhaust all pkeys" test, we make sure that there
is the expected number available.  Turns out that the
test did not cover the execute-only key, but discussed
it anyway.  It did *not* discuss the test-allocated
key.

Now that we have a test for the mprotect(PROT_EXEC) case,
this off-by-one issue showed itself.  Correct the off-by-
one and add the explanation for the case we missed.

We currently have an execute-only test, but it is for
the explicit mprotect_pkey() interface.  We will soon
add a test for the implicit mprotect(PROT_EXEC)
enterface.  We need this code in both tests.

The exec-only pkey is allocated inside the kernel and userspace
is not told what it is.  So, allow PK faults to occur that have
an unknown key.

Under the covers, implement executable-only memory with
protection keys when userspace calls mprotect(PROT_EXEC).

But, we did not have a selftest for that.  Now we do.

A couple of observations:

1)

Minor patch series organization requests:

 - please include the shortlog and diffstat in the cover letter in the future, as 
   it makes it easier to see the overall structure and makes it easier to reply to 
   certain commits as a group.

 - please capitalize commit titles as is usually done in arch/x86/ and change the 
   change the subsystem tags to the usual ones:

d76eeb1914c8: x86/pkeys: Override pkey when moving away from PROT_EXEC
f30f10248200: x86/pkeys/selftests: Add PROT_EXEC test
0530ebfefcdc: x86/pkeys/selftests: Add allow faults on unknown keys
e81c40e33818: x86/pkeys/selftests: Factor out "instruction page"
57042882631c: x86/pkeys/selftests: Fix pkey exhaustion test off-by-one
6b833e9d3171: x86/pkeys/selftests: Fix pointer math
d16f12e3c4ca: x86/pkeys: Do not special case protection key 0
1cb7691d0ee4: x86/pkeys/selftests: Add a test for pkey 0
273ae5cde423: x86/pkeys/selftests: Save off 'prot' for allocations

 - please re-order the series to first introduce a unit test which specifically 
   tests for the failure, ascertain that it indeed fails, and then apply the 
   kernel fix. I.e. please use the order I used above for future versions of this 
   patch-set.

2)

The new self-test you added does not fail overly nicely, it does the following on 
older kernels:

  deimos:~/tip/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./protection_keys_64 
  has pku: 1
  startup pkru: 55555554
  WARNING: not run as root, can not do hugetlb test
  test  0 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  1 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  2 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  3 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  4 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  5 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  6 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  7 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  8 PASSED (iteration 1)
  assert() at protection_keys.c::668 test_nr: 9 iteration: 1
  errno at assert: 22running abort_hooks()...
  protection_keys_64: protection_keys.c:668: mprotect_pkey: Assertion `!ret' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

It would be nice to catch the crash or the error in a more obvious way and turn it 
into a proper test failure - and maybe print an indication that this is probably 
an older kernel or so?

This, beyond being less scary to users, would also allow the other tests to be run 
on older kernels. (It would also be helpful to us should we (accidentally) 
reintroduce a similar bug in the future.)

I.e. x86 unit tests should never 'crash' in a way that suggests that the testing 
itself might be buggy - the crashes/failures should always be well controlled.

3)

When the first kernel bug fix is applied but not the second, then I don't see the 
new PROT_EXEC test catching the bug:

  deimos:~/tip/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./protection_keys_64 
  has pku: 1
  startup pkru: 55555554
  WARNING: not run as root, can not do hugetlb test
  test  0 PASSED (iteration 1)
  test  1 PASSED (iteration 1)
  ...
  done (all tests OK)

I.e. in the booted kernel I didn't have this kernel fix applied:

  x86/pkeys: Override pkey when moving away from PROT_EXEC

But I had these applied:

  f30f10248200 x86/pkeys/selftests: Add PROT_EXEC test
  0530ebfefcdc x86/pkeys/selftests: Add allow faults on unknown keys
  e81c40e33818 x86/pkeys/selftests: Factor out "instruction page"
  57042882631c x86/pkeys/selftests: Fix pkey exhaustion test off-by-one
  6b833e9d3171 x86/pkeys/selftests: Fix pointer math
  d16f12e3c4ca x86/pkeys: Do not special case protection key 0
  1cb7691d0ee4 x86/pkeys/selftests: Add a test for pkey 0
  273ae5cde423 x86/pkeys/selftests: Save off 'prot' for allocations

(Note that the key-0 kernel fix is applied, so that test passes.)

4)

In the above kernel that was missing the PROT_EXEC fix I was repeatedly running 
the 64-bit and 32-bit testcases as non-root and as root as well, until I got a 
hang in the middle of a 32-bit test running as root:

  test  7 PASSED (iteration 19)
  test  8 PASSED (iteration 19)
  test  9 PASSED (iteration 19)

  < test just hangs here >

this is what it looked like in ps:

 3954 pts/0    S      0:00 bash
 3987 pts/0    S+     0:00 ./protection_keys_32
 4006 pts/0    t+     0:00 ./protection_keys_32

And when attaching to it via gdb the main process was hanging here:

the child task could not be attached to, because it was already a ptrace child of 
the main task. Then I killed the main task (while it was still being ptraced by 
gdb), which allowed me to attach gdb to the child task:

After I got the GDB backtraces I tried to clean up leftover tasks, but the main 
thread would not go away:

 4006 pts/0    00:00:00 protection_keys <defunct>

neither SIGCONT nor SIGKILL appears to help:

 root@deimos:/home/mingo/tip/tools/testing/selftests/x86# kill -CONT 4006
 root@deimos:/home/mingo/tip/tools/testing/selftests/x86# kill -9 4006

  4006 pts/0    00:00:00 protection_keys <defunct>
  4307 pts/0    00:00:00 ps

This task stayed zombie until the next reboot. There were no suspicious kernel 
messages in the log during or after the test.

I ran the tests based on tip:x86/urgent (which is v4.17-rc2 based), on top of a 
pretty vanilla installation of Ubuntu:

  # cat /etc/os-release 
  NAME="Ubuntu"
  VERSION="17.10 (Artful Aardvark)"

Just seconds after I sent this I found out that this was user error: I forgot 
about a gdb session I still had running, which understandably blocked the task 
from being cleaned up. Once I exited GDB it all got cleaned up properly.

The hang problem is still there, if I run a script like this:

 while :; do date; echo -n "32-bit: "; ./protection_keys_32 >/dev/null; date; echo -n "64-bit: "; ./protection_keys_64 >/dev/null; done

then within a minute one of the testcases hangs reliably.

Out of 4 attempts so far one hang was in the 32-bit testcase, 3 hangs were in the 
64-bit testcase - so 64-bit appears to trigger it more frequently.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Note that even with all fixes in this series applied the self-test hang still 
triggers.

For the hang, there is a known issue with the use of printf() in the
signal handler and a resulting deadlock.  I *thought* there was a patch
merged to fix this from Ram Pai or one of the other IBM folks.

Yes. there is a patch. unfortunately that patch assumes the selftest has
been moved into selftests/vm directory.  One option is --  I merge your
changes in my selftest patchset, and send the entire series for upstream
merge.

Or you can manually massage-in the specific fix.
The patch is "selftests/vm: Fix deadlock in protection_keys.c"
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/864394/

Let me know,

I can't _quite_ use this order, but I get your point and I'll do as you
suggest, conceptually.

I've tried to make this nicer.  I never abort() any more, for instance.

Thanks for catching this.  I forgot to add the test function to the
pkey_tests[] array.  It's fixed up now.

I believe this is all my stupidity from not being careful about using
signal-safe functions in the signal handlers.  There's no pretty
solution for this, but I've at least made it stop hanging.  The fixes
for that will be in the beginning of the next series.
