Right now, trying to apply a livepatch on any system with CET shstk (AMD Zen3 or later, Intel Tiger Lake or Sapphire Rapids and later) fails as follows: (XEN) livepatch: lp: Verifying enabled expectations for all functions (XEN) common/livepatch.c:1591: livepatch: lp: timeout is 30000000ns (XEN) common/livepatch.c:1703: livepatch: lp: CPU28 - IPIing the other 127 CPUs (XEN) livepatch: lp: Applying 1 functions (XEN) hi_func: Hi! (called 1 times) (XEN) Hook executing. (XEN) Assertion 'local_irq_is_enabled() || cpumask_subset(mask, cpumask_of(cpu))' failed at arch/x86/smp.c:265 (XEN) *** DOUBLE FAULT *** <many double faults> The assertion failure is from a global (system wide) TLB flush initiated by modify_xen_mappings(). I'm not entirely sure when this broke, and I'm not sure exactly what causes the #DF's, but it doesn't really matter either because they highlight a latent bug that I'd overlooked with the CET-SS vs patching work the first place. While we're careful to arrange for the patching CPU to avoid encountering non-shstk memory with transient shstk perms, other CPUs can pick these mappings up too if they need to re-walk for uarch reasons. Another bug is that for livepatching, we only disable CET if shadow stacks are in use. Running on Intel CET systems when Xen is only using CET-IBT will crash in arch_livepatch_quiesce() when trying to clear CR0.WP with CR4.CET still active. Also, we never went and cleared the dirty bits on .rodata. This would matter (for the same reason it matters on .text - it becomes a valid target for WRSS), but we never actually patch .rodata anyway. Therefore rework how we do patching for both alternatives and livepatches. Introduce modify_xen_mappings_lite() with a purpose similar to modify_xen_mappings(), but stripped down to the bare minimum as it's used in weird contexts. Leave all complexity to the caller to handle. Instead of patching by clearing CR0.WP (and having to jump through some fragile hoops to disable CET in order to do this), just transiently relax the permissions on .text via l2_identmap[]. The perms are relaxed globally, but is safe enough. Alternatives run before we boot APs, and Livepatching runs in a quiesced state where the other CPUs are not doing anything interesting. This approach is far more robust. Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> --- CC: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx> CC: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Wei Liu <wl@xxxxxxx> CC: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx> Pulling put_pte_flags() out of the loops in modify_xen_mappings_lite() halves the size of the function. The code generation of the typesafe pagetable helpers is terrible, both because of flags needing a 32->64 expand, and because of _PAGE_NX using cpu_has_nx behind the scene. We really should improve how all of this works. --- xen/arch/x86/alternative.c | 45 ++++++++------------ xen/arch/x86/livepatch.c | 56 ++++++++++--------------- xen/arch/x86/mm.c | 71 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ xen/common/virtual_region.c | 22 +++++++--- xen/include/xen/mm.h | 1 + xen/include/xen/virtual_region.h | 4 +- 6 files changed, 132 insertions(+), 67 deletions(-) diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/alternative.c b/xen/arch/x86/alternative.c index 2383fa66294c..fc815bc7d627 100644 --- a/xen/arch/x86/alternative.c +++ b/xen/arch/x86/alternative.c @@ -382,24 +382,28 @@ static int __init cf_check nmi_apply_alternatives( */ if ( !(alt_done & alt_todo) ) { - unsigned long cr0, cr4; - - cr0 = read_cr0(); - cr4 = read_cr4(); - - if ( cr4 & X86_CR4_CET ) - write_cr4(cr4 & ~X86_CR4_CET); - - /* Disable WP to allow patching read-only pages. */ - write_cr0(cr0 & ~X86_CR0_WP); + /* + * Relax perms on .text to be RWX, so we can modify them. + * + * This relaxes perms globally, but we run ahead of bringing APs + * online, so only have our own TLB to worry about. + */ + modify_xen_mappings_lite(XEN_VIRT_START + MB(2), + (unsigned long)&__2M_text_end, + PAGE_HYPERVISOR_RWX); + flush_local(FLUSH_TLB_GLOBAL); _apply_alternatives(__alt_instructions, __alt_instructions_end, alt_done); - write_cr0(cr0); - - if ( cr4 & X86_CR4_CET ) - write_cr4(cr4); + /* + * Reinstate perms on .text to be RW.
