From 07fa619f2a40c221ea27747a3323cabc59ab25eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2024 15:05:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x86/kexec: Restore GDT on return from ::preserve_context kexec

The restore_processor_state() function explicitly states that "the asm code that gets us here will have restored a usable GDT". That wasn't true in the case of returning from a ::preserve_context kexec. Make it so.

Without this, the kernel was depending on the called function to reload a GDT which is appropriate for the kernel before returning.

Test program:

#include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <linux/kexec.h> #include <linux/reboot.h> #include <sys/reboot.h> #include <sys/syscall.h>

int main (void) { struct kexec_segment segment = {}; unsigned char purgatory[] = { 0x66, 0xba, 0xf8, 0x03, // mov $0x3f8, %dx 0xb0, 0x42, // mov $0x42, %al 0xee, // outb %al, (%dx) 0xc3, // ret }; int ret;

segment.buf = &purgatory; segment.bufsz = sizeof(purgatory); segment.mem = (void *)0x400000; segment.memsz = 0x1000; ret = syscall(__NR_kexec_load, 0x400000, 1, &segment, KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT); if (ret) { perror("kexec_load"); exit(1); }

ret = syscall(__NR_reboot, LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC1, LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC2, LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_KEXEC); if (ret) { perror("kexec reboot"); exit(1); } printf("Success\n"); return 0; }
