The motivation behind these changes is: 1. The system protection offered by Security Enhancements(SE) for Android relies on the assumption of kernel integrity. If the kernel itself is compromised (by a perhaps as yet unknown future vulnerability), SE for Android security mechanisms could potentially be disabled and rendered ineffective. 2. Qualcomm Snapdragon devices use Secure Boot, which adds cryptographic checks to each stage of the boot-up process, to assert the authenticity of all secure software images that the device executes. However, due to various vulnerabilities in SW modules, the integrity of the system can be compromised at any time after device boot-up, leading to un-authorized SW executing. The feature's idea is to move some sensitive kernel structures to a separate page and monitor further any unauthorized changes to these, from higher Exception Levels using stage 2 MMU. Moving these to a different page will help avoid getting page faults from un-related data. The mechanism we have been working on removes the write permissions for HLOS in the stage 2 page tables for the regions to be monitored, such that any modification attempts to these will lead to faults being generated and handled by handlers. If the protected assets are moved to a separate page, faults will be generated corresponding to change attempts to these assets only. If not moved to a separate page, write attempts to un-related data present on the monitored pages will also be generated. Using this feature, some sensitive variables of the kernel which are initialized after init or are updated rarely can also be protected from simple overwrites and attacks trying to modify these. Currently, the change moves selinux_state structure to a separate page. The page is 2MB aligned not 4K to avoid TLB related performance impact as, for some CPU core designs, the TLB does not cache 4K stage 2 (IPA to PA) mappings if the IPA comes from a stage 1 mapping. In future, we plan to move more security-related kernel assets to this page to enhance protection.
