On 5-level paging LDT remap area is placed in the middle of
KASLR randomization region and it can overlap with direct mapping,
vmalloc or vmap area.

Let's move LDT just before direct mapping which makes it safe for KASLR.
This also allows us to unify layout between 4- and 5-level paging.

We don't touch 4 pgd slot gap just before the direct mapping reserved
for a hypervisor, but move direct mapping by one slot instead.

The LDT mapping is per-mm, so we cannot move it into P4D page table next
to CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for 5-level
paging.

(assuming it passes tests with 4-level and 5-level.  my test setup is
current busted, and i'm bisecting it.)

Hi Kirill,

Thanks for this fix. One small concern is whether we can put LDT
remap in other place, e.g shrink KASAN area and save one pgd size for
it, Just from Redhat's enterprise relase point of view, we don't
enable CONFIG_KASAN, and LDT is rarely used for server, now cutting one
block from the direct mapping area and moving it up one pgd slot seems a
little too abrupt. Does KASAN really cost 16 TB in 4-level and 8 PB in
5-level? After all the direct mapping is the core mapping and has been
there always, LDT remap is kind of not so core and important mapping.
Just a very perceptual feeling.

Other than this, this patch looks good to me.

Thanks
Baoquan

Sorry for late reply.

KASAN requires one byte of shadow memory per 8 bytes of target memory, so,
yeah, we need 16 TiB of virtual address space with 4-level paging.

With 5-level, we might save some address space as the limit for physical
address space if 52-bit, not 55. I dedicated 55-bit address space because
it was easier: just scale 4-level layout by factor of 9 and you'll get all
nicely aligned without much thought (PGD translates to PGD, etc).

There is also complication with KASAN layout. We have to have the same
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET between 4- and 5-level paging to make boot time
switching between paging modes work. The offset cannot be changed at
runtime: it used as parameter to compiler. That's the reason KASAN area
alignment looks strange.

A possibly better solution would be to actually include LDT in KASLR:
randomize the area along with direct mapping, vmalloc and vmemmap.
But it's more complexity than I found reasonable for a fix.

Do you want to try this? :)

Thanks for explanation. KASAN area can't be touched as you said.

Seems the unused hole between vmemmap and KASAN can be used. e.g put LDT
remap in -20.5 TB place like below. And meanwhile

__________________|____________|__________________|_________|____________________________________________________________

In non-KASLR case, only 0.5 TB left as hole between vmemmap and LDT.
Meanwhile since LDT remap only costs 128 KB at most at the beginning,
the left area can be seen as guard hole between it and KASAN.

And yes, in KASLR case, we have to take it with the old three regions
together to randomize.

It looks do-able, not sure if the test case is complicated or not, if
not hard, I can have a try. And I have some internal bugs, can focus on
this later. I saw you posted another patchset to fix xen issue, it may
not be needed any more if we take this way?

And not sure if other people have different idea.

Thanks
Baoquan

Well, it depends on what is the first in the KALSR group. The fix will not
be needed if direct mapping comes the first.

But I would rather go with the patch anyway. The hypervisor hole is part
of ABI and we should not calculate it based on other movable entity
(direct mapping, LDT remap, whatever). It's too fragile.
