Linus,

please pull the latest x86-mpx-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-mpx-for-linus

This enables support for x86 MPX:

  MPX is a new debug feature for bound checking in user space. It
  requires kernel support to handle the bound tables and decode the
  bound violating instruction in the trap handler.

Thanks,

	tglx

+1. Intel(R) MPX Overview
+========================
+
+Intel(R) Memory Protection Extensions (Intel(R) MPX) is a new capability
+introduced into Intel Architecture. Intel MPX provides hardware features
+that can be used in conjunction with compiler changes to check memory
+references, for those references whose compile-time normal intentions are
+usurped at runtime due to buffer overflow or underflow.
+
+For more information, please refer to Intel(R) Architecture Instruction
+Set Extensions Programming Reference, Chapter 9: Intel(R) Memory Protection
+Extensions.
+
+Note: Currently no hardware with MPX ISA is available but it is always
+possible to use SDE (Intel(R) Software Development Emulator) instead, which
+can be downloaded from
+http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-software-development-emulator
+
+
+2. How to get the advantage of MPX
+==================================
+
+For MPX to work, changes are required in the kernel, binutils and compiler.
+No source changes are required for applications, just a recompile.
+
+There are a lot of moving parts of this to all work right. The following
+is how we expect the compiler, application and kernel to work together.
+
+1) Application developer compiles with -fmpx. The compiler will add the
+   instrumentation as well as some setup code called early after the app
+   starts. New instruction prefixes are noops for old CPUs.
+2) That setup code allocates (virtual) space for the "bounds directory",
+   points the "bndcfgu" register to the directory and notifies the kernel
+   (via the new prctl(PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT)) that the app will be using
+   MPX.
+3) The kernel detects that the CPU has MPX, allows the new prctl() to
+   succeed, and notes the location of the bounds directory. Userspace is
+   expected to keep the bounds directory at that locationWe note it
+   instead of reading it each time because the 'xsave' operation needed
+   to access the bounds directory register is an expensive operation.
+4) If the application needs to spill bounds out of the 4 registers, it
+   issues a bndstx instruction. Since the bounds directory is empty at
+   this point, a bounds fault (#BR) is raised, the kernel allocates a
+   bounds table (in the user address space) and makes the relevant entry
+   in the bounds directory point to the new table.
+5) If the application violates the bounds specified in the bounds registers,
+   a separate kind of #BR is raised which will deliver a signal with
+   information about the violation in the 'struct siginfo'.
+6) Whenever memory is freed, we know that it can no longer contain valid
+   pointers, and we attempt to free the associated space in the bounds
+   tables. If an entire table becomes unused, we will attempt to free
+   the table and remove the entry in the directory.
+
+To summarize, there are essentially three things interacting here:
+
+GCC with -fmpx:
+ * enables annotation of code with MPX instructions and prefixes
+ * inserts code early in the application to call in to the "gcc runtime"
+GCC MPX Runtime:
+ * Checks for hardware MPX support in cpuid leaf
+ * allocates virtual space for the bounds directory (malloc() essentially)
+ * points the hardware BNDCFGU register at the directory
+ * calls a new prctl(PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT) to notify the kernel to
+   start managing the bounds directories
+Kernel MPX Code:
+ * Checks for hardware MPX support in cpuid leaf
+ * Handles #BR exceptions and sends SIGSEGV to the app when it violates
+   bounds, like during a buffer overflow.
+ * When bounds are spilled in to an unallocated bounds table, the kernel
+   notices in the #BR exception, allocates the virtual space, then
+   updates the bounds directory to point to the new table. It keeps
+   special track of the memory with a VM_MPX flag.
+ * Frees unused bounds tables at the time that the memory they described
+   is unmapped.
+
+
+3. How does MPX kernel code work
+================================
+
+Handling #BR faults caused by MPX
+---------------------------------
+
+When MPX is enabled, there are 2 new situations that can generate
+#BR faults.
+  * new bounds tables (BT) need to be allocated to save bounds.
+  * bounds violation caused by MPX instructions.
+
+We hook #BR handler to handle these two new situations.
+
+On-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables
+--------------------------------------------
+
+MPX only has 4 hardware registers for storing bounds information. If
+MPX-enabled code needs more than these 4 registers, it needs to spill
+them somewhere. It has two special instructions for this which allow
+the bounds to be moved between the bounds registers and some new "bounds
+tables".
+
+#BR exceptions are a new class of exceptions just for MPX. They are
+similar conceptually to a page fault and will be raised by the MPX
+hardware during both bounds violations or when the tables are not
+present. The kernel handles those #BR exceptions for not-present tables
+by carving the space out of the normal processes address space and then
+pointing the bounds-directory over to it.
+
+The tables need to be accessed and controlled by userspace because
+the instructions for moving bounds in and out of them are extremely
+frequent. They potentially happen every time a register points to
+memory. Any direct kernel involvement (like a syscall) to access the
+tables would obviously destroy performance.
+
+Why not do this in userspace? MPX does not strictly require anything in
+the kernel. It can theoretically be done completely from userspace. Here
+are a few ways this could be done. We don't think any of them are practical
+in the real-world, but here they are.
+
+Q: Can virtual space simply be reserved for the bounds tables so that we
+   never have to allocate them?
+A: MPX-enabled application will possibly create a lot of bounds tables in
+   process address space to save bounds information. These tables can take
+   up huge swaths of memory (as much as 80% of the memory on the system)
+   even if we clean them up aggressively. In the worst-case scenario, the
+   tables can be 4x the size of the data structure being tracked. IOW, a
+   1-page structure can require 4 bounds-table pages. An X-GB virtual
+   area needs 4*X GB of virtual space, plus 2GB for the bounds directory.
+   If we were to preallocate them for the 128TB of user virtual address
+   space, we would need to reserve 512TB+2GB, which is larger than the
+   entire virtual address space today. This means they can not be reserved
+   ahead of time. Also, a single process's pre-popualated bounds directory
+   consumes 2GB of virtual *AND* physical memory. IOW, it's completely
+   infeasible to prepopulate bounds directories.
+
+Q: Can we preallocate bounds table space at the same time memory is
+   allocated which might contain pointers that might eventually need
+   bounds tables?
+A: This would work if we could hook the site of each and every memory
+   allocation syscall. This can be done for small, constrained applications.
+   But, it isn't practical at a larger scale since a given app has no
+   way of controlling how all the parts of the app might allocate memory
+   (think libraries). The kernel is really the only place to intercept
+   these calls.
+
+Q: Could a bounds fault be handed to userspace and the tables allocated
+   there in a signal handler intead of in the kernel?
+A: mmap() is not on the list of safe async handler functions and even
+   if mmap() would work it still requires locking or nasty tricks to
+   keep track of the allocation state there.
+
+Having ruled out all of the userspace-only approaches for managing
+bounds tables that we could think of, we create them on demand in
+the kernel.
+
+Decoding MPX instructions
+-------------------------
+
+If a #BR is generated due to a bounds violation caused by MPX.
+We need to decode MPX instructions to get violation address and
+set this address into extended struct siginfo.
+
+The _sigfault feild of struct siginfo is extended as follow:
+
+87		/* SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS */
+88		struct {
+89			void __user *_addr; /* faulting insn/memory ref. */
+90 #ifdef __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO
+91			int _trapno;	/* TRAP # which caused the signal */
+92 #endif
+93			short _addr_lsb; /* LSB of the reported address */
+94			struct {
+95				void __user *_lower;
+96				void __user *_upper;
+97			} _addr_bnd;
+98		} _sigfault;
+
+The '_addr' field refers to violation address, and new '_addr_and'
+field refers to the upper/lower bounds when a #BR is caused.
+
+Glibc will be also updated to support this new siginfo. So user
+can get violation address and bounds when bounds violations occur.
+
+Cleanup unused bounds tables
+----------------------------
+
+When a BNDSTX instruction attempts to save bounds to a bounds directory
+entry marked as invalid, a #BR is generated. This is an indication that
+no bounds table exists for this entry. In this case the fault handler
+will allocate a new bounds table on demand.
+
+Since the kernel allocated those tables on-demand without userspace
+knowledge, it is also responsible for freeing them when the associated
+mappings go away.
+
+Here, the solution for this issue is to hook do_munmap() to check
+whether one process is MPX enabled. If yes, those bounds tables covered
+in the virtual address region which is being unmapped will be freed also.
+
+Adding new prctl commands
+-------------------------
+
+Two new prctl commands are added to enable and disable MPX bounds tables
+management in kernel.
+
+155	#define PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT	43
+156	#define PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT	44
+
+Runtime library in userspace is responsible for allocation of bounds
+directory. So kernel have to use XSAVE instruction to get the base
+of bounds directory from BNDCFG register.
+
+But XSAVE is expected to be very expensive. In order to do performance
+optimization, we have to get the base of bounds directory and save it
+into struct mm_struct to be used in future during PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT
+command execution.
+
+
+4. Special rules
+================
+
+1) If userspace is requesting help from the kernel to do the management
+of bounds tables, it may not create or modify entries in the bounds directory.
+
+Certainly users can allocate bounds tables and forcibly point the bounds
+directory at them through XSAVE instruction, and then set valid bit
+of bounds entry to have this entry valid.  But, the kernel will decline
+to assist in managing these tables.
+
+2) Userspace may not take multiple bounds directory entries and point
+them at the same bounds table.
+
+This is allowed architecturally.  See more information "Intel(R) Architecture
+Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference" (9.3.4).
+
+However, if users did this, the kernel might be fooled in to unmaping an
+in-use bounds table since it does not recognize sharing.

So I've pulled this (not pushed out yet, I've done all the
allmodconfig builds, but I want to reboot into this all too), but I'm
not entirely sure I'm happy about how it enabled MPX support by
default.

Why would I want to enable this in my kernel when there are no actual
CPU's out yet that support it? And even when there are, why would I do
it if the CPU I have doesn't support it?

So I think it needs to be a real config option with a real question,
not a "def_bool" that just depends on "do you want to support Intel
CPU's"

For folks that build their own kernels and know what CPU they have,
you'd never want to enable it other than compile testing (or maybe some
basic runtime testing to make sure we didn't mess up the #BR code on
CPUs without the feature).

But, this is the kind of option that we want to be *sure* is enabled
unless folks know exactly what they are doing, so we should probably
hide it behind CONFIG_EXPERT as well, just as SMEP is.

We might be getting to the point where we need to bury all these
Intel-specific options somewhere, but that's a patch for another day.

Patch is attached to convert it over to this:

config X86_INTEL_MPX
        prompt "Intel MPX (Memory Protection Extensions)" if EXPERT
        def_bool y
        depends on CPU_SUP_INTEL
        ---help---
          MPX provides hardware features that can be used in
          conjunction with compiler-instrumented code to check
          memory references.  It is designed to detect buffer
          overflow or underflow bugs.

          Enabling this option will make the kernel larger and
          slightly increase the size of some data structures.

          If unsure, say Y.

There's no good reason to enable it except for testing (compile, or
making sure we didn't screw up the #BR code for CPUs without MPX).

I disagree.

SMEP doesn't have any performance overhead, and SMEP is available in
processors available today. So SMEP doesn't even have a config option,
because there is no downside with having it on and enabled.

MPX, in contrast, you don't even normally want to run at all as a
normal user because of the overheads. That's going to be true even
when it's available.

So I would claim the exact reverse: right now, enabling MPX should be
something only experts should do.

I misspoke there.  I meant SMAP (I placed MPX below its config option).

The overhead of turning the MPX config option on really is tiny.  We
have a few code touch points like around munmap(), but it should not be
noticeable.

One thing we are *not* doing under this config option is actually
instrumenting kernel code or doing any protection of the kernel itself.
 This is only about supporting user applications that are doing MPX.
This set contains no support for doing MPX _inside_ the kernel.

We probably need to mention this explicitly in the config option.  I've
added:

Ok, I agree on SMAP, we might want to have that be configurable too,
especially for smaller systems (I *think* SMAP is big-core only,
right?). I'm not sure how much of a possible performance downside it
has, but it does add instructions to potentially critical areas.

I some really dumb questions.

Given that mpx is both architecture and cpu specific why use prctl?
I would think arch_prctl would be a much more appropriate place to
expose this logic.

Why don't you have a call to let an application query to see if mpx
management is enabled?  I am trying to imagine how checkpoint/restart is
going to be supported for mpx applications.  If I can't even query if
mpx is enabled I don't have a clue how we could save this state and
duplicate it in another process on another machine.

I actually never considered arch_prctl().  It doesn't seem a bad fit for
any reason, just that I never thought of it and no one suggested it up
to this point.

Is there any *real* advantage to arch_prctl()?  We have some gcc code
that's going to be using these prctls and if we need to change the
interface, we've got to get that code changed too... fast.

You probably need to actually save off the contents of mm->bd_addr
itself.  I guess you can do it along with all the other internals of the
mm that get saved off currently.

I think the 'if EXPERT' needs to be dropped.

> +	depends on CPU_SUP_INTEL

On the one hand, the 'def_bool y' might be acceptable, if we 
think of MPX as X32 or SECCOMP: ABI extensions that are only 
really useful if all distros enable it.

On the other hand, unlike x32 and seccomp, MPX increases data 
structure size and adds a few instructions to common, non-MPX 
code paths, so the cost isn't just kernel image size.

Linus, what's your preference?

And will add a few branches to critical code paths, right?

It would be nice to give some numeric data in such cases, by what 
percentage does MPX support increase the x86_64 defconfig kernel 
for example? By how much does it increase data structure size? 
Make costs and benefits transparent and most people will chose 
wisely, or at least well informed.

Thanks,

Fine with me.

It's a _bit_ different than X32 or SECCOMP, though.  An x32 app is a
doorstop if the kernel's config option is off.  An MPX-instrumented app
ends up looking like a dumb app running a bunch of noops (for the MPX
instructions and prefixes) and being mean to the icache, but it's not a
doorstop.

That said, we *really* want distros enabling it.  (Putting my Intel hat
on firmly now...)  MPX already requires recompiling binaries, which is a
fairly large burden.  If an application writer goes to that trouble, we
really want to make sure that the kernel support is there.

It'd be a real shame to have an app compiled with MPX support (and all
those noops and their overhead), running on a CPU with silicon that
supports MPX, and a kernel that *can* support MPX... and then not use it.

That description looks pretty good to me.

Linus, what's your take on the default-y? To me it seems there's 
arguments both ways: usually we allow unprivileged ABIs to be 
disabled only under EXPERT and make them default-y (to help 
adaption and to define what the default ABI of 'Linux' is - we 
did a default-y for SECCOMP for example) - OTOH this is a new 
ABI, the processors aren't even out yet, and there's costs to the 
MM code even in the non-MPX case, so it's not as clear-cut as in 
the SECCOMP case which had essentially zero runtime cost.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Should you explain what kind of CPUs support it? Basically "the kind
you don't have, yet"?

Disagreed here. Right now, N is right response to anyone but Intel.

On a practical level, you can look for mpx in cpuinfo a la:

	cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep ' mpx '

to see if your CPU supports it.  I will mention that in the the
Documentation/ and also point folks there from the Kconfig text.

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

Give MPX a real config option.  The CPUs that support it
(referenced here):

	https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/402393

are not available publicly, so we need to make it somewhat
easy to disable.

SMAP is already configurable, although the overhead on non-SMAP-enabled
hardware is minimal (the CLAC/STAC instructions get patched out.)

Hi!

"If you bought your cpu in 2014 or earlier, say N here".
