Commit Message

Mark Brown Aug. 1, 2024, 12:06 p.m. UTC
When a new thread is created by a thread with GCS enabled the GCS needs
to be specified along with the regular stack.  clone3() has been
extended to support this case, allowing userspace to explicitly specify
the size and location of the GCS.  The specified GCS must have a valid
GCS token at the top of the stack, as though userspace were pivoting to
the new GCS.  This will be consumed on use.  At present we do not
atomically consume the token, this will be addressed in a future
revision.

Unfortunately plain clone() is not extensible and existing clone3()
users will not specify a stack so all existing code would be broken if
we mandated specifying the stack explicitly.  For compatibility with
these cases and also x86 (which did not initially implement clone3()
support for shadow stacks) if no GCS is specified we will allocate one
so when a thread is created which has GCS enabled allocate one for it.
We follow the extensively discussed x86 implementation and allocate
min(RLIMIT_STACK, 2G).  Since the GCS only stores the call stack and not
any variables this should be more than sufficient for most applications.

GCSs allocated via this mechanism will be freed when the thread exits,
those explicitly configured by the user will not.

Is 0 an ok value here? I can see further down that
gcs_alloc_thread_stack() may return 0.

I don't get this barrier. What does it have to do with CoW, which memory
effects is it trying to order?

So we still have RLIMIT_STACK/2. I thought we got rid of that and just
went with RLIMIT_STACK (or I misremember).

As per the clone3() thread, I think we should try to use
get_user_page_vma_remote() and do a cmpxchg() directly.

How does the user write the initial token? Do we need any barriers
before/after consuming the token?

Yes, it's fine for a thread not to have a GCS.

Yeah, I can't remember what that's supposed to be protecting.

I honestly can't remember either way, it's quite possible it's changed
multiple times.  I don't have super strong feelings on the particular
value here.

I've left this as is for now, mainly because it keeps the code in line
with x86 and I can't directly test the x86 code.  IIRC we can't just do
a standard userspace cmpxchg since that will access as though we were at
EL0 but EL0 doesn't have standard write permission for the page.

The token is created by map_shadow_stack() or as part of a GCS pivot.  A
sync beforehand is probably safer, with the current code we'll have one
when we switch to the task.

OK, so we only get a 0 here if the gcs_{base,size} has not be
initialised. Looks fine.

The GCS memory writes in the parent must indeed be visible in the child
that could start on a different CPU. So, in principle, we need some form
of ordering similar to the context switch. However, in case of classic
fork(), the child won't be started until the PTEs have been made
read-only and a TLBI issued. This would ensure the completion of any GCS
memory accesses in the parent (at least that's my reading of the Arm
ARM).

If we have normal thread creation without CoW, is the parent writing
anything to the stack that the new thread needs to observe? The
map_shadow_stack() call will cause a GCSSTTR and this wouldn't be
ordered with subsequent memory writes. But we already have a GCSB DSYNC
in map_shadow_stack() after put_user_gcs().

My conclusion is that we don't need this barrier.

The half size looks a lot more arbitrary to me than picking the same
size as the stack. So I'd go with RLIMIT_STACK.

I thought for the clone3() x86 code we'll need the remote vma, so we
have to use the get_user_page_vma_remote() API anyway.

Correct but GUP goes through the kernel mapping, not the user one. So
get_user_page_vma_remote() returns a page and you just do a classic
cmpxchg() at page_address() (plus some offset).
