[PATCH v3 0/3] Handle memmap and mem kernel options in boot stage kaslr

[PATCH v3 0/3] Handle memmap and mem kernel options in boot stage kaslr

[Baoquan He]

People reported kernel panic occurs during system boots up with mem boot option.
After checking code, several problems are found about memmap= and mem= in boot stage
kaslr.

*) In commit f28442497b5c ("x86/boot: Fix KASLR and memmap= collision"), only one memmap
   entry is considered and only the last one if multiple memmap entries are specified.

*) mem= and memmap=nn[KMG] are not considered yet. They are used to limit max address
   of system. Kernel can't be randomized to be above the limit.

*) kernel-parameters.txt doesn't tell the updated behaviour of memmap=.

This patchset tries to solve above issues, and it sits on top of
tip:x86/boot branch.

Changelog

v2->v3:
No functionality change in this round.
a)Use local static variable insted of global variable
  mem_avoid_memmap_index in patch 1/3.
b)Fix a typo in patch 3/3.

v1->v2:
a)The original patch 1/4 has been put in tip:x86/boot and no update,
  so it's not included in this post.
b)Use patch log Ingo reorganized.
c)lib/ctype.c and lib/cmdline.c are needed for kaslr.c, while those
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(x) contained caused failure of build on 32-bit allmodconfig:
  ......
  ld: -r and -shared may not be used together
  scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target 'arch/x86/boot/compressed/kaslr.o' failed
  ......
  Disabling the symbol exporting removes the build failure.
d)Use dynamic allocation to allocate memory to contain copied kernel cmdline
  buffer, it's implemented in include/linux/decompress/mm.h.

[PATCH v3 1/3] KASLR: Parse all memmap entries in cmdline

[Baoquan He]

In commit:

  f28442497b5c ("x86/boot: Fix KASLR and memmap= collision")

... the memmap= option is parsed so that KASLR can avoid those reserved
regions. It uses cmdline_find_option() to get the value if memmap=
is specified, however the problem is that cmdline_find_option() can only
find the last entry if multiple memmap entries are provided. This
is not correct.

In this patch, the whole cmdline will be scanned to search each
memmap, all of them will be parsed and handled.

Can we avoid an extern in .c? Seems like this should be defined in

Can this be moved to the top of the file? (Also, I wonder if maybe it

Here to optimize for the common case, please do something like:

if (!strstr("memmap=", args))
    return 0;

> +       tmp_cmdline = malloc(COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);

Instead of COMMAND_LINE_SIZE hard-limit, please attempt a malloc of
len + 1. Then you don't have to play games with len adjustments,
truncation, etc.

The first "mem" in this name seems redundant.

Thanks for your reviewing, Kees!

misc.h includes it.

Function isdigit is implemented in boot/ctype.h. And with <linux/ctype.h>,
they will conflict. While next_args() need isspace() in linux/ctype.h to
filter out "space/lf/tab".

If I want isspace() in linux/ctype.h, _ctype[] in lib/ctype.c is needed.
Meanwhile since next_args() is moved to lib/cmdline.c, including
lib/cmdline.c will bring EXPORT_SYMBOL. And including lib/cmdline.c can
provide a ready-made memparse() which makes us remove the redundent one
in kaslr.c.

misc.h's ctype doesn't provide a isspace which next_args() need. There's
a myisspace in boot/cmdline.c, I think it's insufficient, it only check
space.

static inline int myisspace(u8 c)
{
        return c <= ' ';        /* Close enough approximation */
}

Yes, it shoud be put in msic.h. I thought putting it here can avoid
polluting the name space. Now I think you are right though now it's only
used by kaslr.c and compressed/cmdline.c where it's defined.

Yes, it can be moved to the top of kaslr.c

In misc.c those lib/decompress_xxx.c include linux/decompress/mm.h
already, and define STATIC as static. But I think it's fine to put it in
misc.h. Let me try.

Hmm, handle_mem_memmap will be a common handler for memmap= and mem=
options. If here we use strstr to check it, do we need to check "mem="
too?

Hmm, in this patch handle_mem_memmap only handles memmap= option, in
patch 2/3 it will handle mem= too. Do you think I should name it
handle_memmap() here, and rename it to handle_mem_memmap() in patch 2/3?

[PATCH v3 2/3] KASLR: Handle memory limit specified by memmap and mem option

[Baoquan He]

Option mem= will limit the max address a system can use and any memory
region above the limit will be removed.

Furthermore, memmap=nn[KMG] which has no offset specified has the same
behaviour as mem=.

KASLR needs to consider this when choosing the random position for
decompressing the kernel.

This patch implements that.

[PATCH v3 3/3] Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: Update 'memmap=' option description

[Baoquan He]

In commit:

  9710f581bb4c ("x86, mm: Let "memmap=" take more entries one time")

... 'memmap=' was changed to adopt multiple, comma delimited values in a
single entry, so update the related description.

In the special case of only specifying size value without an offset,
like memmap=nn[KMG], memmap behaves similarly to mem=nn[KMG], so update
it too here.

Furthermore, for memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG], an escape character needs be added
before '$' for some bootloaders. E.g in grub2, if we specify memmap=100M$5G
as suggested by the documentation, "memmap=100MG" gets passed to the kernel.

Clarify all this.

I confirmed that mem= works correctly.
