v5 cover KVM: arm64: permit MAP_SHARED mappings with MTE enabled

Hi,

This patch series allows VMMs to use shared mappings in MTE enabled guests. The first five patches were taken from Catalin's tree [1] which addressed some review feedback from when they were previously sent out as v3 of this series. The first patch from Catalin's tree makes room for an additional PG_arch_3 flag by making the newer PG_arch_* flags arch-dependent. The next four patches are based on a series that Catalin sent out prior to v3, whose cover letter [2] I quote from below:

Quoted 14 lines

This series aims to fix the races between initialising the tags on a page and setting the PG_mte_tagged flag. Currently the flag is set either before or after that tag initialisation and this can lead to CoW copying stale tags. The first patch moves the flag setting after the tags have been initialised, solving the CoW issue. However, concurrent mprotect() on a shared mapping may (very rarely) lead to valid tags being zeroed.

The second skips the sanitise_mte_tags() call in kvm_set_spte_gfn(), deferring it to user_mem_abort(). The outcome is that no sanitise_mte_tags() can be simplified to skip the pfn_to_online_page() check and only rely on VM_MTE_ALLOWED vma flag that can be checked in user_mem_abort().

Quoted 7 lines

The third and fourth patches use PG_arch_3 as a lock for page tagging, based on Peter Collingbourne's idea of a two-bit lock.

I think the first patch can be queued but the rest needs some in depth review and test. With this series (if correct) we could allos MAP_SHARED on KVM guest memory but this is to be discussed separately as there are some KVM ABI implications.

In this v5 I rebased Catalin's tree onto -next again. Please double check my rebase, which resolved the conflict with commit a8e5e5146ad0 ("arm64:
mte: Avoid setting PG_mte_tagged if no tags cleared or restored").

I now have Reviewed-by for all patches except for the last one, which adds the documentation. Thanks for the reviews so far, and please take a look!

I've tested it on QEMU as well as on MTE-capable hardware by booting a Linux kernel and userspace under a crosvm with MTE support [3].

PATCH v5 1/8 mm: Do not enable PG_arch_2 for all 64-bit architectures

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>

Commit 4beba9486abd ("mm: Add PG_arch_2 page flag") introduced a new page flag for all 64-bit architectures. However, even if an architecture is 64-bit, it may still have limited spare bits in the 'flags' member of 'struct page'. This may happen if an architecture enables SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP as is the case with the newly added loongarch. This architecture port needs 19 more bits for the sparsemem section information and, while it is currently fine with PG_arch_2, adding any more PG_arch_* flags will trigger build-time warnings.

Add a new CONFIG_ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_X option which can be selected by architectures that need more PG_arch_* flags beyond PG_arch_1. Select it on arm64.

PATCH v5 2/8 arm64: mte: Fix/clarify the PG_mte_tagged semantics

In reply to Peter Collingbourne

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>

Currently the PG_mte_tagged page flag mostly means the page contains valid tags and it should be set after the tags have been cleared or restored. However, in mte_sync_tags() it is set before setting the tags to avoid, in theory, a race with concurrent mprotect(PROT_MTE) for shared pages. However, a concurrent mprotect(PROT_MTE) with a copy on write in another thread can cause the new page to have stale tags. Similarly, tag reading via ptrace() can read stale tags if the PG_mte_tagged flag is set before actually clearing/restoring the tags.

Fix the PG_mte_tagged semantics so that it is only set after the tags have been cleared or restored. This is safe for swap restoring into a MAP_SHARED or CoW page since the core code takes the page lock. Add two functions to test and set the PG_mte_tagged flag with acquire and release semantics. The downside is that concurrent mprotect(PROT_MTE) on a MAP_SHARED page may cause tag loss. This is already the case for KVM guests if a VMM changes the page protection while the guest triggers a user_mem_abort().

PATCH v5 3/8 KVM: arm64: Simplify the sanitise_mte_tags() logic

In reply to Peter Collingbourne

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>

Currently sanitise_mte_tags() checks if it's an online page before attempting to sanitise the tags. Such detection should be done in the caller via the VM_MTE_ALLOWED vma flag. Since kvm_set_spte_gfn() does not have the vma, leave the page unmapped if not already tagged. Tag initialisation will be done on a subsequent access fault in user_mem_abort().

Re: [PATCH v5 3/8] KVM: arm64: Simplify the sanitise_mte_tags() logic

Quoted 16 lines · Peter Collingbourne

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>

Currently sanitise_mte_tags() checks if it's an online page before attempting to sanitise the tags. Such detection should be done in the caller via the VM_MTE_ALLOWED vma flag. Since kvm_set_spte_gfn() does not have the vma, leave the page unmapped if not already tagged. Tag initialisation will be done on a subsequent access fault in user_mem_abort().

PATCH v5 4/8 mm: Add PG_arch_3 page flag

In reply to Peter Collingbourne

As with PG_arch_2, this flag is only allowed on 64-bit architectures due to the shortage of bits available. It will be used by the arm64 MTE code in subsequent patches.

PATCH v5 5/8 arm64: mte: Lock a page for MTE tag initialisation

In reply to Peter Collingbourne

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>

Initialising the tags and setting PG_mte_tagged flag for a page can race between multiple set_pte_at() on shared pages or setting the stage 2 pte via user_mem_abort(). Introduce a new PG_mte_lock flag as PG_arch_3 and set it before attempting page initialisation. Given that PG_mte_tagged is never cleared for a page, consider setting this flag to mean page unlocked and wait on this bit with acquire semantics if the page is locked:

- try_page_mte_tagging() - lock the page for tagging, return true if it can be tagged, false if already tagged. No acquire semantics if it returns true (PG_mte_tagged not set) as there is no serialisation with a previous set_page_mte_tagged().

- set_page_mte_tagged() - set PG_mte_tagged with release semantics.

The two-bit locking is based on Peter Collingbourne's idea.

PATCH v5 6/8 KVM: arm64: unify the tests for VMAs in memslots when MTE is enabled

In reply to Peter Collingbourne

Previously we allowed creating a memslot containing a private mapping that was not VM_MTE_ALLOWED, but would later reject KVM_RUN with -EFAULT. Now we reject the memory region at memslot creation time.

Since this is a minor tweak to the ABI (a VMM that created one of these memslots would fail later anyway), no VMM to my knowledge has MTE support yet, and the hardware with the necessary features is not generally available, we can probably make this ABI change at this point.

PATCH v5 7/8 KVM: arm64: permit all VM_MTE_ALLOWED mappings with MTE enabled

In reply to Peter Collingbourne

Certain VMMs such as crosvm have features (e.g. sandboxing) that depend on being able to map guest memory as MAP_SHARED. The current restriction on sharing MAP_SHARED pages with the guest is preventing the use of those features with MTE. Now that the races between tasks concurrently clearing tags on the same page have been fixed, remove this restriction.

Note that this is a relaxation of the ABI.

Re: [PATCH v5 7/8] KVM: arm64: permit all VM_MTE_ALLOWED mappings with MTE enabled

Quoted 6 lines · Peter Collingbourne

Certain VMMs such as crosvm have features (e.g. sandboxing) that depend on being able to map guest memory as MAP_SHARED. The current restriction on sharing MAP_SHARED pages with the guest is preventing the use of those features with MTE. Now that the races between tasks concurrently clearing tags on the same page have been fixed, remove this restriction.

Quoted 8 lines

Note that this is a relaxation of the ABI.

Hi,

This patch series allows VMMs to use shared mappings in MTE enabled guests. The first five patches were taken from Catalin's tree [1] which addressed some review feedback from when they were previously sent out as v3 of this series. The first patch from Catalin's tree makes room for an additional PG_arch_3 flag by making the newer PG_arch_* flags arch-dependent. The next four patches are based on a series that Catalin sent out prior to v3, whose cover letter [2] I quote from below:

Quoted 17 lines

This series aims to fix the races between initialising the tags on a page and setting the PG_mte_tagged flag. Currently the flag is set either before or after that tag initialisation and this can lead to CoW copying stale tags. The first patch moves the flag setting after the tags have been initialised, solving the CoW issue. However, concurrent mprotect() on a shared mapping may (very rarely) lead to valid tags being zeroed.

The second skips the sanitise_mte_tags() call in kvm_set_spte_gfn(), deferring it to user_mem_abort(). The outcome is that no sanitise_mte_tags() can be simplified to skip the pfn_to_online_page() check and only rely on VM_MTE_ALLOWED vma flag that can be checked in user_mem_abort().

The third and fourth patches use PG_arch_3 as a lock for page tagging, based on Peter Collingbourne's idea of a two-bit lock.

Quoted 6 lines
Quoted 4 lines

I think the first patch can be queued but the rest needs some in depth review and test. With this series (if correct) we could allos MAP_SHARED on KVM guest memory but this is to be discussed separately as there are some KVM ABI implications.

In this v5 I rebased Catalin's tree onto -next again. Please double check

Please don't do use -next as a base. In-flight series should be based on a *stable* tag, either 6.0 or one of the early -RCs. If there is a known conflict with -next, do mention it in the cover letter and provide a resolution.

Quoted 2 lines

my rebase, which resolved the conflict with commit a8e5e5146ad0 ("arm64:
mte: Avoid setting PG_mte_tagged if no tags cleared or restored").

This commit seems part of -rc1, so I guess the patches directly apply on top of that tag?

Quoted 2 lines

I now have Reviewed-by for all patches except for the last one, which adds the documentation. Thanks for the reviews so far, and please take a look!

I'd really like the MM folks (list now cc'd) to look at the relevant patches (1 and 5) and ack them before I take this.

Thanks,

No feedback has been received, so this code is obviously perfect.
