From 59bee45b9712c759ea4d3dcc4eff1752f3a66558 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman mpe@ellerman.id.au Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2020 23:28:47 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Fix missing KUAP disable in flush_coherent_icache()
Stefan reported a strange kernel fault which turned out to be due to a missing KUAP disable in flush_coherent_icache() called from flush_icache_range().
The fault looks like:

This path through handle_rt_signal64() to setup_trampoline() and flush_icache_range() is only triggered by 64-bit processes that have unmapped their VDSO, which is rare.
flush_icache_range() takes a range of addresses to flush. In flush_coherent_icache() we implement an optimisation for CPUs where we know we don't actually have to flush the whole range, we just need to do a single icbi.
However we still execute the icbi on the user address of the start of the range we're flushing. On CPUs that also implement KUAP (Power9) that leads to the spurious fault above.
We should be able to pass any address, including a kernel address, to the icbi on these CPUs, which would avoid any interaction with KUAP. But I don't want to make that change in a bug fix, just in case it surfaces some strange behaviour on some CPU.
So for now just disable KUAP around the icbi. Note the icbi is treated as a load, so we allow read access, not write as you'd expect.

I think I've resolved this by also taking:
23eb7f560a2a ("powerpc: Convert flush_icache_range & friends to C") 7a0745c5e03f ("powerpc: define helpers to get L1 icache sizes")
Let's see what the bots say.
