v7 cover powerpc: Memory Protection Keys

Memory protection keys enable applications to protect its address space from inadvertent access from or corruption by itself.

The overall idea:
-----------------
A process allocates a key and associates it with
an address range within its address space.
The process then can dynamically set read/write
permissions on the key without involving the
kernel. Any code that violates the permissions
of the address space; as defined by its associated key, will receive a segmentation fault.

This patch series enables the feature on PPC64 HPTE platform.

ISA3.0 section 5.7.13 describes the detailed
specifications.

Highlevel view of the design:
---------------------------
When an application associates a key with a address
address range, program the key in the Linux PTE.
When the MMU detects a page fault, allocate a hash
page and program the key into HPTE. And finally
when the MMU detects a key violation; due to
invalid application access, invoke the registered
signal handler and provide the violated key number
as well as the state of the key register (AMR), at
the time it faulted.

Testing:
-------
This patch series has passed all the protection key
tests available in the selftests directory.The
tests are updated to work on both x86 and powerpc.
NOTE: All the selftest related patches will be part
of a separate patch series.

Outstanding issues:
-------------------
How will the application know if pkey is enabled, if
so how many pkeys are available? Is
PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE supported? - Ben.

History:
-------
version v7:
(1) refers to device tree property to enable protection keys.
(2) adds 4K PTE support.
(3) fixes a couple of bugs noticed by Thiago
(4) decouples this patch series from arch-
independent code. This patch series can now stand by itself, with one kludge patch(2).

version v6:
(1) selftest changes are broken down into 20 incremental patches.
(2) A separate key allocation mask that
includes PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE is
added for powerpc
(3) pkey feature is enabled for 64K HPT case only. RPT and 4k HPT is disabled.
(4) Documentation is updated to better
capture the semantics.
(5) introduced arch_pkeys_enabled() to find
if an arch enables pkeys. Correspond-
ing change the logic that displays
key value in smaps.
(6) code rearranged in many places based on
comments from Dave Hansen, Balbir,
Anshuman.
(7) fixed one bug where a bogus key could be
associated successfully in
pkey_mprotect().

version v5:
(1) reverted back to the old design -- store the key in the pte, instead of bypassing it. The v4 design slowed down the hash page path.
(2) detects key violation when kernel is told to access user pages.
(3) further refined the patches into smaller consumable units
(4) page faults handlers captures the fault-
ing key
from the pte instead of the vma. This
closes a race between where the key update in the vma and a key fault caused by the key programmed in the pte.
(5) a key created with access-denied should
also set it up to deny write. Fixed it.
(6) protection-key number is displayed in
smaps the x86 way.

version v4:
(1) patches no more depend on the pte bits to program the hpte
-- comment by Balbir
(2) documentation updates
(3) fixed a bug in the selftest.
(4) unlike x86, powerpc lets signal handler
change key permission bits; the
change will persist across signal
handler boundaries. Earlier we
allowed the signal handler to
modify a field in the siginfo
structure which would than be used
by the kernel to program the key protection register (AMR)
-- resolves a issue raised by Ben.
"Calls to sys_swapcontext with a
made-up context will end up with a crap AMR if done by code who didn't know about that register".
(5) these changes enable protection keys on 4k-page kernel aswell.

version v3:
(1) split the patches into smaller consumable patches.
(2) added the ability to disable execute
permission on a key at creation.
(3) rename calc_pte_to_hpte_pkey_bits() to
pte_to_hpte_pkey_bits()
-- suggested by Anshuman
(4) some code optimization and clarity in
do_page_fault()
(5) A bug fix while invalidating a hpte slot in __hash_page_4K()
-- noticed by Aneesh

version v2:
(1) documentation and selftest added.
(2) fixed a bug in 4k hpte backed 64k pte
where page invalidation was not
done correctly, and initialization
of second-part-of-the-pte was not
done correctly if the pte was not
yet Hashed with a hpte.
-- Reported by Aneesh.
(3) Fixed ABI breakage caused in siginfo structure.
-- Reported by Anshuman.

RFC v7 1/25 powerpc: define an additional vma bit for protection keys.

powerpc needs an additional vma bit to support 32 keys. Till the additional vma bit lands in include/linux/mm.h we have to define it in powerpc specific header file. This is needed to get pkeys working on power.

RFC v7 2/25 powerpc: track allocation status of all pkeys

In reply to Ram Pai

Total 32 keys are available on power7 and above. However pkey 0,1 are reserved. So effectively we have 30 pkeys.

On 4K kernels, we do not have 5 bits in the PTE to represent all the keys; we only have 3bits.Two of those keys are reserved; pkey 0 and pkey 1. So effectively we have 6 pkeys.

This patch keeps track of reserved keys, allocated keys and keys that are currently free.

Also it adds skeletal functions and macros, that the architecture-independent code expects to be available.

In v6, key 31 was also reserved, but it's not in this version. Is this intentional?

Isn't it better for this function to be in pkeys.c? Ideally, functions should be in .c files not in headers unless they're very small or performance sensitive IMHO.

That whole thing could be replaced with two constants.

Except it can't, because we can't just hard code the number of keys. It needs to come either from the device tree or be based on the CPU we're running on.

Yes. No reason for that to be in a header AFAICS.

On powernv platform, there is no hypervisor and hence the hypervisor will not reserve key 31 for its own use. Wherease on PAPR guest the hypervisor takes away key 31.

Its not possible to determine at compile time which keys are used or not. Hence the above code. pkeys_total is 32 in this patch, but will be set to whatever value the device tree tells us. That will be done in a subsequent patch.

You're right. At the time I made that comment I didn't realize that the hypervisor would subtract its reserved key from the device property.

This patch keeps track of reserved keys, allocated keys and keys that are currently free.

Also it adds skeletal functions and macros, that the architecture-independent code expects to be available.

many factors .... led to this organization. It could have been done differently, i suppose. but it organically grew to this state.

Running down the memory lane, i recall, I had to introduce many skeletal functions as soon as the PROTECTION_KEY configuration option got enabled. The arch neutral code called into them, and since these skeletal function did nothing, bad thing could happen. So had to disable everything till everything was in place.

Re: [RFC v7 02/25] powerpc: track allocation status of all pkeys

In reply to Ram Pai

Hi Ram,

Quoted 7 lines · Ram Pai

Total 32 keys are available on power7 and above. However pkey 0,1 are reserved. So effectively we have 30 pkeys.

On 4K kernels, we do not have 5 bits in the PTE to represent all the keys; we only have 3bits.Two of those keys are reserved; pkey 0 and pkey 1. So effectively we have 6 pkeys.

IIUC, the pkey 0 and 1 are reserved by the hardware, and the kernel PTE has only 5 bits to keep track of the pkey. Why hw pkey 0 and 1 has to be represented in the kernel PTE ?

Re: [RFC v7 02/25] powerpc: track allocation status of all pkeys

Quoted 6 lines · Laurent Dufour

Hi Ram,

Quoted 3 lines · Ram Pai

Total 32 keys are available on power7 and above. However pkey 0,1 are reserved. So effectively we have 30 pkeys.

Quoted 8 lines
Quoted 4 lines

On 4K kernels, we do not have 5 bits in the PTE to represent all the keys; we only have 3bits.Two of those keys are reserved; pkey 0 and pkey 1. So effectively we have 6 pkeys.

IIUC, the pkey 0 and 1 are reserved by the hardware, and the kernel PTE has only 5 bits to keep track of the pkey. Why hw pkey 0 and 1 has to be represented in the kernel PTE ?

Key 0 is the default key. It is reserved in the sense, it cannot be allocated or freed. but its there and will be used as the default. So when no key is associated with a pte, it is infact using key 0.

Good question for the hardware designers. :)

key 1 is suggested not be used because it can be used by hypervisor (powervm) or something else. Since linux kernel does not use it, we dont program the key in the pte.

Quoted 99 lines
Quoted 77 lines

This patch keeps track of reserved keys, allocated keys and keys that are currently free.

Also it adds skeletal functions and macros, that the architecture-independent code expects to be available.

cleanup the bits corresponding to a key in the AMR, and IAMR register, when the key is newly allocated/activated or is freed. We dont want some residual bits cause the hardware enforce unintended behavior when the key is activated or freed.

It provides the plumbing, but it cannot be used till the system call is implemented. The next patch will do so.

Is it worth having a flag in thread_struct saying whether it has every called pkey_alloc and only do the mfsprs if it did?

Yes, in fact there's a programming note in the UAMOR section of the arch that says exactly that.

On the write side you have to be a bit more careful. You have to make sure you set the UAMOR to 0 when you're switching from a process that has used keys to one that isn't.

Yes. This will further optimize the code; a great thing!

On the write side you have to be a bit more careful. You have to make sure you set the UAMOR to 0 when you're switching from a process that has used keys to one that isn't.

Currently we save and restore AMR/IAMR/UAMOR if the OS has enabled pkeys. This means the UAMOR will get restored to 0 if the application has not used any keys.

But if we do optimize the code further; as suggested by Thiago, we will have to be careful with initializing UAMOR while switching back task that has not used the keys yet.

RFC v7 13/25 powerpc: map vma key-protection bits to pte key bits.

In reply to Ram Pai

map the key protection bits of the vma to the pkey bits in the PTE.

The Pte bits used for pkey are 3,4,5,6 and 57. The first four bits are the same four bits that were freed up initially in this patch series. remember? :-) Without those four bits this patch would'nt be possible.

BUT, On 4k kernel, bit 3, and 4 could not be freed up. remember? Hence we have to be satisfied with 5,6 and 7.

Why making such a check here, is it to avoid the following check during the boot process only ?
IIUC, there is no way to get H_PAGE_PKEY_BIT* set when pkey_inited is false.

I know its a little paronia. Trying to avoid a case where the uninitialized pkey bits in the pte are erroneously interpreted as valid by this function. Remember that the caller of this function will use the return value to program the hpte. Nothing really bad should happen since none of the keys are enabled. But ... just playing it safe.

I think that's probably over-paranoid. It's not like it adds much overhead, but it is a hot path, so no need to make it slower than it needs to be.

RFC v7 20/25 powerpc: Handle exceptions caused by pkey violation

In reply to Ram Pai

Handle Data and Instruction exceptions caused by memory protection-key.

The CPU will detect the key fault if the HPTE is already programmed with the key.

However if the HPTE is not hashed, a key fault will not
be detected by the hardware. The software will detect
pkey violation in such a case.

Should the IAMR also be made available?

Isn't a corresponding change needed in restore_sigcontext? And in the corresponding TM versions setup_tm_sigcontexts and restore_tm_sigcontexts?

Ok. Ben debunked my above reason. So at this point I dont have a solid reason to defend my statement --
"The value of AMR register at the time of the key-exception may not be the same when the signal handler is invoked."

Coming back to the your main question, "why we need to provide the
contents of AMR register to the signal handler?" -- the only reason
i can see is, probably tools like gdb and ptrace may find it useful.

And since it was suggested that content of IAMR is also useful to the application, the value of which cannot be accessed from userspace, it may make sense to provide both the contents.

Please suggest.

I'd rather you added ptrace calls to obtain & set it. I don't think we need to touch the signal frame, it's too much of an ABI compatibility burden.

RFC v7 25/25 powerpc: Enable pkey subsystem

In reply to Ram Pai

PAPR defines 'ibm,processor-storage-keys' property. It exports two values.The first value indicates the number of data-access keys and the second indicates the number of instruction-access keys. Though this alludes that keys can be either data access or instructon access only, that is not the case in reality.Any key can be of any kind. This patch adds all the keys and uses that as the total number of keys available to us.

Non PAPR platforms do not define this property in the device
tree yet. Here, we hardcode CPUs that support pkey by
consulting PowerISA3.0

P7 supports protection keys for data access (AMR) but not for instruction access (IAMR), right? There's nothing in the code making this distinction, so either CPU_FTR_PKEY shouldn't be enabled in P7 or separate feature bits for AMR and IAMR should be used and checked before trying to access the IAMR.

Right now this works because the firmware reports 0 execute keys in the device tree, but if (when?) it is fixed to report 32 execute keys as well as 32 data keys (which are the same keys), any place using pkeys_total expecting it to mean the number of keys that are available will be broken. This includes pkey_initialize and mm_pkey_is_allocated.

Perhaps pkeys_total should use total_data as the number of keys supported in the system, and total_execute just as a flag to say whether there's a IAMR? Or, since P8 and later have IAMR and P7 is unlikely to have the firmware fixed, maybe the kernel should just ignore total_execute altogether?

Good point. we should just ignore total_execute. It should be the same value as total_data on the latest platforms. On older platforms it will continue to be zero.

He said that P7 was the first processor to support 32 keys, but if you look at the Virtual Page Class Key Protection section in ISA 2.06, there's no IAMR.

There was a bug in the code where init_iamr was calling write_amr instead of write_iamr, perhaps that's why it worked when you tested on P7?

Good point. we should just ignore total_execute. It should be the same value as total_data on the latest platforms. On older platforms it will continue to be zero.

Perhaps pkeys_total should use total_data as the number of keys supported in the system, and total_execute just as a flag to say whether there's a IAMR? Or, since P8 and later have IAMR and P7 is unlikely to have the firmware fixed, maybe the kernel should just ignore total_execute altogether?

P7 supports protection keys for data access (AMR) but not for instruction access (IAMR), right? There's nothing in the code making this distinction, so either CPU_FTR_PKEY shouldn't be enabled in P7 or separate feature bits for AMR and IAMR should be used and checked before trying to access the IAMR.

You should do what the device tree says you can do.

If it says there are no execute keys then you shouldn't touch the IAMR.

If you don't want to handle the case where there are 0 execute keys but some data keys then you should do:

  total_keys = min(data_keys, exec_keys);

The downside of that approach is that the device tree in P8 LPARs currently says there are no execute keys even though there are. We'd have to require customers to upgrade their firmware to a fixed version if they want to use execute keys.

Correct. the device tree for this property currently does not correctly capture the number of execute keys.

On skiboot based systems, there is not device tree property to refer to aswell. Thiago has a patch to fix it, but existing systems without the skiboot fix, will not expose that property.

So unfortunately we will have to rely on multiple peices of information to enable the pkey system in the kernel.

[RFC v7 26/25] mm/mprotect, powerpc/mm/pkeys, x86/mm/pkeys: Add sysfs interface

In reply to Ram Pai

Expose useful information for programs using memory protection keys. Provide implementation for powerpc and x86.

On a powerpc system with pkeys support, here is what is shown:

$ head /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/*
==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/disable_execute_supported <==
true

==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/total_keys <==
32

==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/usable_keys <== 30

And on an x86 without pkeys support:

$ head /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/*
==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/disable_execute_supported <==
false

==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/total_keys <==
1

==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/usable_keys <== 0

---

Ram asked me to add a sysfs interface for the memory protection keys feature. Here it is.

If you have suggestions on what should be exposed, please let me know.

Expose useful information for programs using memory protection keys. Provide implementation for powerpc and x86.

On a powerpc system with pkeys support, here is what is shown:

$ head /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/*
==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/disable_execute_supported <==
true

We should not just call out disable_execute_supported. disable_access_supported and disable_write_supported should also be called out.

Quoted 7 lines

==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/total_keys <==
32

==> /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/usable_keys <== 30

This is little nebulous. It depends on how we define usable as. Is it the number of keys that are available to the app? If that is the case that value is dynamic. Sometime the OS steals one key for execute-only key. And anything that is dynamic can be inherently racy. So I think we should define 'usable' as guaranteed number of keys available to the app and display a value that is one less than what is available.

in the above example the value should be 29.

Expose useful information for programs using memory protection keys. Provide implementation for powerpc and x86.

On a powerpc system with pkeys support, here is what is shown:

$ head /sys/kernel/mm/protection_keys/*

true

We should not just call out disable_execute_supported. disable_access_supported and disable_write_supported should also be called out.

Ok, will do in the next version.

This is little nebulous. It depends on how we define usable as. Is it the number of keys that are available to the app? If that is the case that value is dynamic.

Yes, that is how I defined it: the difference between the number of keys provided by the platform and the keys reserved by the OS. I do need to spell it out somewhere inside Documentation/ though.

Good point, I didn't account for the execute-only key. I will make that change in the next version.
