[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [RFC PATCH v2 18/19] heki: x86: Protect guest kernel memory using the KVM hypervisor
From: Madhavan T. Venkataraman <madvenka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Implement a hypervisor function, kvm_protect_memory() that calls the
KVM_HC_PROTECT_MEMORY hypercall to request the KVM hypervisor to
set specified permissions on a list of guest pages.
Using the protect_memory() function, set proper EPT permissions for all
guest pages.
Use the MEM_ATTR_IMMUTABLE property to protect the kernel static
sections and the boot-time read-only sections. This enables to make sure
a compromised guest will not be able to change its main physical memory
page permissions. However, this also disable any feature that may change
the kernel's text section (e.g., ftrace, Kprobes), but they can still be
used on kernel modules.
Module loading/unloading, and eBPF JIT is allowed without restrictions
for now, but we'll need a way to authenticate these code changes to
really improve the guests' security. We plan to use module signatures,
but there is no solution yet to authenticate eBPF programs.
Being able to use ftrace and Kprobes in a secure way is a challenge not
solved yet. We're looking for ideas to make this work.
Likewise, the JUMP_LABEL feature cannot work because the kernel's text
section is read-only.
