The fault happens because kern_addr_valid() dereferences existent but not present PMD in the high kernel mappings.

Such PMDs are created when free_kernel_image_pages() frees regions larger than 2Mb. In this case a part of the freed memory is mapped with PMDs and the set_memory_np_noalias() -> ... -> __change_page_attr() sequence will mark the PMD as not present rather than wipe it completely.

Make kern_addr_valid() to check whether higher level page table entries are present before trying to dereference them to fix this issue and to avoid similar issues in the future.

---

v2:
* drop pXd_none() checks and leave only pXd_present(), per David

The fault happens because kern_addr_valid() dereferences existent but not present PMD in the high kernel mappings.

Such PMDs are created when free_kernel_image_pages() frees regions larger than 2Mb. In this case a part of the freed memory is mapped with PMDs and the set_memory_np_noalias() -> ... -> __change_page_attr() sequence will mark the PMD as not present rather than wipe it completely.

Make kern_addr_valid() to check whether higher level page table entries are present before trying to dereference them to fix this issue and to avoid similar issues in the future.

Hopefully we won't have other similar BUGs in the code because we leave fake swap entries lying around in the direct map.

Yeah, that seems like the right fix. The one kern_addr_valid() user is going to touch the memory so it *better* be present. p*d_none() was definitely the wrong check.

So I did stare at this for a while, trying to make sense of it and David Hildenbrand asked for a Fixes: tag in v1 review and from doing a bit of git archeology I think it should be:

c40a56a7818c ("x86/mm/init: Remove freed kernel image areas from alias mapping")

because that thing added the clearing of the Present bit for the high kernel image mapping of those areas.

Yes, in a sense.
As the only user of kern_addr_valid() is kcore and it only uses this check for high kernel mappings, there should be no problem before 4.19.

But...

kern_addr_valid() wrongly uses pxy_none() rather than pxy_present() because according to 9a14aefc1d28 ("x86: cpa, fix lookup_address") there could be cases when page table entries exist but they are not valid.
So a call to kern_addr_valid() for an address in the direct map would oops.

I've stopped digging at 9a14aefc1d28 (which is in v2.6.26) and added the oldest stable we still support (4.4).

I agree that before 4.19 it's more of a theoretical bug, but you know, things happen...

Hmmkay, I guess I should add the gist of that to the commit message so that it is explained why 4.4.

I'm assuming the pxy_present() check is more strict than pxy_none() so that backporting to all stable kernels should not introduce any risks...

The fault happens because kern_addr_valid() dereferences existent but not present PMD in the high kernel mappings.

Such PMDs are created when free_kernel_image_pages() frees regions larger than 2Mb. In this case a part of the freed memory is mapped with PMDs and the set_memory_np_noalias() -> ... -> __change_page_attr() sequence will mark the PMD as not present rather than wipe it completely.

Make kern_addr_valid() to check whether higher level page table entries are present before trying to dereference them to fix this issue and to avoid similar issues in the future.

---

v2:
* drop pXd_none() checks and leave only pXd_present(), per David

The fault happens because kern_addr_valid() dereferences existent but not present PMD in the high kernel mappings.

Such PMDs are created when free_kernel_image_pages() frees regions larger than 2Mb. In this case a part of the freed memory is mapped with PMDs and the set_memory_np_noalias() -> ... -> __change_page_attr() sequence will mark the PMD as not present rather than wipe it completely.

Make kern_addr_valid() to check whether higher level page table entries are present before trying to dereference them to fix this issue and to avoid similar issues in the future.

v2:
* drop pXd_none() checks and leave only pXd_present(), per David

The fault happens because kern_addr_valid() dereferences existent but not present PMD in the high kernel mappings.

Such PMDs are created when free_kernel_image_pages() frees regions larger than 2Mb. In this case, a part of the freed memory is mapped with PMDs and the set_memory_np_noalias() -> ... -> __change_page_attr() sequence will mark the PMD as not present rather than wipe it completely.

Have kern_addr_valid() check whether higher level page table entries are present before trying to dereference them to fix this issue and to avoid similar issues in the future.

Stable backporting note:
------------------------

Note that the stable marking is for all active stable branches because there could be cases where pagetable entries exist but are not valid - see 9a14aefc1d28 ("x86: cpa, fix lookup_address"), for example. So make sure to be on the safe side here and use pXY_present() accessors rather than pXY_none() which could #GP when accessing pages in the direct map.

Also see:

c40a56a7818c ("x86/mm/init: Remove freed kernel image areas from alias mapping")

for more info.
