[PATCH v5 0/7] platform/chrome: Fix a possible UAF via revocable

by Tzung-Bi Shih

This is a follow-up series of [1]. It tries to fix a possible UAF in the fops of cros_ec_chardev after the underlying protocol device has gone by using revocable. The 1st patch introduces the revocable which is an implementation of ideas from the talk [2]. The 2nd and 3rd patches add test cases for revocable in Kunit and selftest. The 4th patch converts existing protocol devices to resource providers of cros_ec_device. The 5th - 7th are PoC patches for showing the use case of "Replace file operations" below. --- I came out with 2 possible usages of revocable. 1. Use primitive APIs Use the primitive APIs of revocable directly. The file operations make sure the resources are available when using them. This is what the series original proposed[3][4]. Even though it has the finest grain for accessing the resources, it makes the user code verbose. Per feedback from the community, I'm looking for some subsystem level helpers so that user code can be simlper. 2. Replace file operations Replace filp->f_op to revocable-aware warppers. The warppers make sure the resources are available in the file operations. The user code needs to provide a callback .try_access() to tell the wrappers where/how to *save* the pointers of resources. Known drawback: - The warppers reserve the resources for all file operations even if they might be unused. - The user code still needs to be revocable-aware. - The whole file operation becomes a SRCU read-side critical section. Are there any functions can't be called in the critical section? If there is, the file operations may not be awared of that. See 5th - 7th patches for an example usage.

[PATCH 0/7] KVM: x86: Improve the handling of debug exceptions during instruction emulation

by Hou Wenlong

During my testing, I found that guest debugging with 'DR6.BD' does not work in instruction emulation, as the current code only considers the guest's DR7. Upon reviewing the code, I also observed that the checks for the userspace guest debugging feature and the guest's own debugging feature are repeated in different places during instruction emulation, but the overall logic is the same. If guest debugging is enabled, it needs to exit to userspace; otherwise, a #DB exception needs to be injected into the guest. Therefore, as suggested by Jiangshan Lai, some cleanup has been done for #DB handling in instruction emulation in this patchset. A new function named 'kvm_inject_emulated_db()' is introduced to consolidate all the checking logic. Moreover, I hope we can make the #DB interception path use the same function as well. Additionally, when I looked into the single-step #DB handling in instruction emulation, I noticed that the interrupt shadow is toggled, but it is not considered in the single-step #DB injection. This oversight causes VM entry to fail on VMX (due to pending debug exceptions checking) or breaks the 'MOV SS' suppressed #DB. For the latter, I have kept the behavior for now in my patchset, as I need some suggestions.

[PATCH v4 0/3] VMM can handle guest SEA via KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA

by Jiaqi Yan

Problem ======= When host APEI is unable to claim a synchronous external abort (SEA) during guest abort, today KVM directly injects an asynchronous SError into the VCPU then resumes it. The injected SError usually results in unpleasant guest kernel panic. One of the major situation of guest SEA is when VCPU consumes recoverable uncorrected memory error (UER), which is not uncommon at all in modern datacenter servers with large amounts of physical memory. Although SError and guest panic is sufficient to stop the propagation of corrupted memory, there is room to recover from an UER in a more graceful manner. Proposed Solution ================= The idea is, we can replay the SEA to the faulting VCPU. If the memory error consumption or the fault that cause SEA is not from guest kernel, the blast radius can be limited to the poison-consuming guest process, while the VM can keep running. In addition, instead of doing under the hood without involving userspace, there are benefits to redirect the SEA to VMM: - VM customers care about the disruptions caused by memory errors, and VMM usually has the responsibility to start the process of notifying the customers of memory error events in their VMs. For example some cloud provider emits a critical log in their observability UI [1], and provides a playbook for customers on how to mitigate disruptions to their workloads. - VMM can protect future memory error consumption by unmapping the poisoned pages from stage-2 page table with KVM userfault [2], or by splitting the memslot that contains the poisoned pages. - VMM can keep track of SEA events in the VM. When VMM thinks the status on the host or the VM is bad enough, e.g. number of distinct SEAs exceeds a threshold, it can restart the VM on another healthy host. - Behavior parity with x86 architecture. When machine check exception (MCE) is caused by VCPU, kernel or KVM signals userspace SIGBUS to let VMM either recover from the MCE, or terminate itself with VM. The prior RFC proposes to implement SIGBUS on arm64 as well, but Marc preferred KVM exit over signal [3]. However, implementation aside, returning SEA to VMM is on par with returning MCE to VMM. Once SEA is redirected to VMM, among other actions, VMM is encouraged to inject external aborts into the faulting VCPU. New UAPIs ========= This patchset introduces following userspace-visible changes to empower VMM to control what happens for SEA on guest memory: - KVM_CAP_ARM_SEA_TO_USER. While taking SEA, if userspace has enabled this new capability at VM creation, and the SEA is not owned by kernel allocated memory, instead of injecting SError, return KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA to userspace. - KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA. This is the VM exit reason VMM gets. The details about the SEA is provided in arm_sea as much as possible, including sanitized ESR value at EL2, faulting guest virtual and physical addresses if available. * From v3 [4] - Rebased on commit 3a8660878839 ("Linux 6.18-rc1"). - In selftest, print a message if GVA or GPA expects to be valid. * From v2 [5]: - Rebased on "[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Handle SEAs due to VNCR redirection" [6] and kvmarm/next commit 7b8346bd9fce6 ("KVM: arm64: Don't attempt vLPI mappings when vPE allocation is disabled") - Took the host_owns_sea implementation from Oliver [7, 8]. - Excluded the guest SEA injection patches. - Updated selftest. * From v1 [9]: - Rebased on commit 4d62121ce9b5 ("KVM: arm64: vgic-debug: Avoid dereferencing NULL ITE pointer"). - Sanitize ESR_EL2 before reporting it to userspace. - Do not do KVM_EXIT_ARM_SEA when SEA is caused by memory allocated to stage-2 translation table.

[PATCH kvm-next V11 0/7] Add NUMA mempolicy support for KVM guest-memfd

by Shivank Garg

This series introduces NUMA-aware memory placement support for KVM guests with guest_memfd memory backends. It builds upon Fuad Tabba's work (V17) that enabled host-mapping for guest_memfd memory [1] and can be applied directly applied on KVM tree [2] (branch kvm-next, base commit: a6ad5413, Merge branch 'guest-memfd-mmap' into HEAD) == Background == KVM's guest-memfd memory backend currently lacks support for NUMA policy enforcement, causing guest memory allocations to be distributed across host nodes according to kernel's default behavior, irrespective of any policy specified by the VMM. This limitation arises because conventional userspace NUMA control mechanisms like mbind(2) don't work since the memory isn't directly mapped to userspace when allocations occur. Fuad's work [1] provides the necessary mmap capability, and this series leverages it to enable mbind(2). == Implementation == This series implements proper NUMA policy support for guest-memfd by: 1. Adding mempolicy-aware allocation APIs to the filemap layer. 2. Introducing custom inodes (via a dedicated slab-allocated inode cache, kvm_gmem_inode_info) to store NUMA policy and metadata for guest memory. 3. Implementing get/set_policy vm_ops in guest_memfd to support NUMA policy. With these changes, VMMs can now control guest memory placement by mapping guest_memfd file descriptor and using mbind(2) to specify: - Policy modes: default, bind, interleave, or preferred - Host NUMA nodes: List of target nodes for memory allocation These Policies affect only future allocations and do not migrate existing memory. This matches mbind(2)'s default behavior which affects only new allocations unless overridden with MPOL_MF_MOVE/MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL flags (Not supported for guest_memfd as it is unmovable by design). == Upstream Plan == Phased approach as per David's guest_memfd extension overview [3] and community calls [4]: Phase 1 (this series): 1. Focuses on shared guest_memfd support (non-CoCo VMs). 2. Builds on Fuad's host-mapping work [1]. Phase2 (future work): 1. NUMA support for private guest_memfd (CoCo VMs). 2. Depends on SNP in-place conversion support [5]. This series provides a clean integration path for NUMA-aware memory management for guest_memfd and lays the groundwork for future confidential computing NUMA capabilities. Thanks, Shivank == Changelog == - v1,v2: Extended the KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD IOCTL to pass mempolicy. - v3: Introduced fbind() syscall for VMM memory-placement configuration. - v4-v6: Current approach using shared_policy support and vm_ops (based on suggestions from David [6] and guest_memfd bi-weekly upstream call discussion [7]). - v7: Use inodes to store NUMA policy instead of file [8]. - v8: Rebase on top of Fuad's V12: Host mmaping for guest_memfd memory. - v9: Rebase on top of Fuad's V13 and incorporate review comments - V10: Rebase on top of Fuad's V17. Use latest guest_memfd inode patch from Ackerley (with David's review comments). Use newer kmem_cache_create() API variant with arg parameter (Vlastimil) - V11: Rebase on kvm-next, remove RFC tag, use Ackerley's latest patch and fix a rcu race bug during kvm module unload.

[PATCH v12] exec: Fix dead-lock in de_thread with ptrace_attach

by Bernd Edlinger

This introduces signal->exec_bprm, which is used to fix the case when at least one of the sibling threads is traced, and therefore the trace process may dead-lock in ptrace_attach, but de_thread will need to wait for the tracer to continue execution. The solution is to detect this situation and allow ptrace_attach to continue by temporarily releasing the cred_guard_mutex, while de_thread() is still waiting for traced zombies to be eventually released by the tracer. In the case of the thread group leader we only have to wait for the thread to become a zombie, which may also need co-operation from the tracer due to PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT. When a tracer wants to ptrace_attach a task that already is in execve, we simply retry the ptrace_may_access check while temporarily installing the new credentials and dumpability which are about to be used after execve completes. If the ptrace_attach happens on a thread that is a sibling-thread of the thread doing execve, it is sufficient to check against the old credentials, as this thread will be waited for, before the new credentials are installed. Other threads die quickly since the cred_guard_mutex is released, but a deadly signal is already pending. In case the mutex_lock_killable misses the signal, the non-zero current->signal->exec_bprm makes sure they release the mutex immediately and return with -ERESTARTNOINTR. This means there is no API change, unlike the previous version of this patch which was discussed here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/b6537ae6-31b1-5c50-f32b-8b8332ace882@hotmail.d… See tools/testing/selftests/ptrace/vmaccess.c for a test case that gets fixed by this change. Note that since the test case was originally designed to test the ptrace_attach returning an error in this situation, the test expectation needed to be adjusted, to allow the API to succeed at the first attempt.

[PATCH v7 00/12] Direct Map Removal Support for guest_memfd

by Patrick Roy

From: Patrick Roy <roypat(a)amazon.co.uk> [ based on kvm/next ] Unmapping virtual machine guest memory from the host kernel's direct map is a successful mitigation against Spectre-style transient execution issues: If the kernel page tables do not contain entries pointing to guest memory, then any attempted speculative read through the direct map will necessarily be blocked by the MMU before any observable microarchitectural side-effects happen. This means that Spectre-gadgets and similar cannot be used to target virtual machine memory. Roughly 60% of speculative execution issues fall into this category [1, Table 1]. This patch series extends guest_memfd with the ability to remove its memory from the host kernel's direct map, to be able to attain the above protection for KVM guests running inside guest_memfd. Additionally, a Firecracker branch with support for these VMs can be found on GitHub [2]. For more details, please refer to the v5 cover letter [v5]. No substantial changes in design have taken place since. === Changes Since v6 === - Drop patch for passing struct address_space to ->free_folio(), due to possible races with freeing of the address_space. (Hugh) - Stop using PG_uptodate / gmem preparedness tracking to keep track of direct map state. Instead, use the lowest bit of folio->private. (Mike, David) - Do direct map removal when establishing mapping of gmem folio instead of at allocation time, due to impossibility of handling direct map removal errors in kvm_gmem_populate(). (Patrick) - Do TLB flushes after direct map removal, and provide a module parameter to opt out from them, and a new patch to export flush_tlb_kernel_range() to KVM.

[PATCH] selftests/seccomp: fix pointer type mismatch in UPROBE test

Fix compilation error in UPROBE_setup caused by pointer type mismatch in ternary expression. The probed_uretprobe and probed_uprobe function pointers have different type attributes (__attribute__((nocf_check))), which causes the conditional operator to fail with: seccomp_bpf.c:5175:74: error: pointer type mismatch in conditional expression [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] Cast both function pointers to 'const void *' to match the expected parameter type of get_uprobe_offset(), resolving the type mismatch while preserving the function selection logic.

I've removed the RFC tag from this version of the series, but the items that I'm looking for feedback on remains the same: - The userspace ABI, in particular: - The vector length used for the SVE registers, access to the SVE registers and access to ZA and (if available) ZT0 depending on the current state of PSTATE.{SM,ZA}. - The use of a single finalisation for both SVE and SME. - The addition of control for enabling fine grained traps in a similar manner to FGU but without the UNDEF, I'm not clear if this is desired at all and at present this requires symmetric read and write traps like FGU. That seemed like it might be desired from an implementation point of view but we already have one case where we enable an asymmetric trap (for ARM64_WORKAROUND_AMPERE_AC03_CPU_38) and it seems generally useful to enable asymmetrically. This series implements support for SME use in non-protected KVM guests. Much of this is very similar to SVE, the main additional challenge that SME presents is that it introduces a new vector length similar to the SVE vector length and two new controls which change the registers seen by guests: - PSTATE.ZA enables the ZA matrix register and, if SME2 is supported, the ZT0 LUT register. - PSTATE.SM enables streaming mode, a new floating point mode which uses the SVE register set with the separately configured SME vector length. In streaming mode implementation of the FFR register is optional. It is also permitted to build systems which support SME without SVE, in this case when not in streaming mode no SVE registers or instructions are available. Further, there is no requirement that there be any overlap in the set of vector lengths supported by SVE and SME in a system, this is expected to be a common situation in practical systems. Since there is a new vector length to configure we introduce a new feature parallel to the existing SVE one with a new pseudo register for the streaming mode vector length. Due to the overlap with SVE caused by streaming mode rather than finalising SME as a separate feature we use the existing SVE finalisation to also finalise SME, a new define KVM_ARM_VCPU_VEC is provided to help make user code clearer. Finalising SVE and SME separately would introduce complication with register access since finalising SVE makes the SVE registers writeable by userspace and doing multiple finalisations results in an error being reported. Dealing with a state where the SVE registers are writeable due to one of SVE or SME being finalised but may have their VL changed by the other being finalised seems like needless complexity with minimal practical utility, it seems clearer to just express directly that only one finalisation can be done in the ABI. Access to the floating point registers follows the architecture: - When both SVE and SME are present: - If PSTATE.SM == 0 the vector length used for the Z and P registers is the SVE vector length. - If PSTATE.SM == 1 the vector length used for the Z and P registers is the SME vector length. - If only SME is present: - If PSTATE.SM == 0 the Z and P registers are inaccessible and the floating point state accessed via the encodings for the V registers. - If PSTATE.SM == 1 the vector length used for the Z and P registers - The SME specific ZA and ZT0 registers are only accessible if SVCR.ZA is 1. The VMM must understand this, in particular when loading state SVCR should be configured before other state. It should be noted that while the architecture refers to PSTATE.SM and PSTATE.ZA these PSTATE bits are not preserved in SPSR_ELx, they are only accessible via SVCR. There are a large number of subfeatures for SME, most of which only offer additional instructions but some of which (SME2 and FA64) add architectural state. These are configured via the ID registers as per usual. Protected KVM supported, with the implementation maintaining the existing restriction that the hypervisor will refuse to run if streaming mode or ZA is enabled. This both simplfies the code and avoids the need to allocate storage for host ZA and ZT0 state, there seems to be little practical use case for supporting this and the memory usage would be non-trivial. The new KVM_ARM_VCPU_VEC feature and ZA and ZT0 registers have not been added to the get-reg-list selftest, the idea of supporting additional features there without restructuring the program to generate all possible feature combinations has been rejected. I will post a separate series which does that restructuring.

[RFC PATCH v2 0/3] Add testable code specifications

by Gabriele Paoloni

[1] was an initial proposal defining testable code specifications for some functions in /drivers/char/mem.c. However a Guideline to write such specifications was missing and test cases tracing to such specifications were missing. This patchset represents a next step and is organised as follows: - patch 1/3 contains the Guideline for writing code specifications - patch 2/3 contains examples of code specfications defined for some functions of drivers/char/mem.c - patch 3/3 contains examples of selftests that map to some code specifications of patch 2/3 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250821170419.70668-1-gpaoloni@redhat.com/ --- Changes from v1: 1) Added a Guideline to write code specifications in the Linux Kernel Documentation 2) Addressed Greg KH comments in /drivers/char/mem.c 3) Added example of test cases mapping to the code specifications in /drivers/char/mem.c --- Alessandro Carminati (1): selftests/devmem: initial testset Gabriele Paoloni (2): Documentation: add guidelines for writing testable code specifications /dev/mem: Add initial documentation of memory_open() and mem_fops .../doc-guide/code-specifications.rst | 208 +++++++ Documentation/doc-guide/index.rst | 1 + drivers/char/mem.c | 231 ++++++- tools/testing/selftests/Makefile | 1 + tools/testing/selftests/devmem/Makefile | 13 + tools/testing/selftests/devmem/debug.c | 25 + tools/testing/selftests/devmem/debug.h | 14 + tools/testing/selftests/devmem/devmem.c | 200 ++++++ tools/testing/selftests/devmem/ram_map.c | 250 ++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/devmem/ram_map.h | 38 ++ tools/testing/selftests/devmem/secret.c | 46 ++ tools/testing/selftests/devmem/secret.h | 13 + tools/testing/selftests/devmem/tests.c | 569 ++++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/devmem/tests.h | 45 ++ tools/testing/selftests/devmem/utils.c | 379 ++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/devmem/utils.h | 119 ++++ 16 files changed, 2146 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/doc-guide/code-specifications.rst create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/debug.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/debug.h create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/devmem.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/ram_map.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/ram_map.h create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/secret.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/secret.h create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/tests.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/tests.h create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/utils.c create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/devmem/utils.h -- 2.48.1
