The new Properties Table feature introduced in UEFIv2.5 may split
memory regions that cover PE/COFF memory images into separate code
and data regions. Since these regions only differ in the type (runtime
code vs runtime data) and the permission bits, but not in the memory
type attributes (UC/WC/WT/WB), the spec does not require them to be
aligned to 64 KB.

As the relative offset of PE/COFF .text and .data segments cannot be
changed on the fly, this means that we can no longer pad out those
regions to be mappable using 64 KB pages.
Unfortunately, there is no annotation in the UEFI memory map that
identifies data regions that were split off from a code region, so we
must apply this logic to all adjacent runtime regions whose attributes
only differ in the permission bits.

So instead of rounding each memory region to 64 KB alignment at both
ends, only round down regions that are not directly preceded by another
runtime region with the same type attributes. Since the UEFI spec does
not mandate that the memory map be sorted, this means we also need to
sort it first.

As discussed off list, this is the arm64 side of what we should backport
to stable to prevent firmware that adheres to the current version of the
UEFI v2.5 spec with the memprotect feature enabled from blowing up the system
upon the first OS call into the runtime services.

For arm64, we already map things in order, but since the spec does not mandate
a sorted memory map, we need to sort it to be sure. This also allows us to
easily find adjacent regions with < 64 KB granularity, which the current version
of the spec allows if they only differ in permission bits (which the spec says
are 'unused' on AArch64, which could be interpreted as 'allowed but ignored').

Changes since v1:
- Ensure that we don't inadvertently set the XN bit on the preceding region at
  mapping time if we the OS is running with >4 KB pages.

Thanks Ard. I've picked this up in my 'urgent' queue and tagged it for
stable, but it would be really good if folks on the Cc list could
provdide ACKs and Tested-by tags because this is the kind of kernel
code where dragons lurk.

Hi,

FWIW I gave this a spin on Seattle and Juno and saw no regressions (both
are pre-2.5 EFI though).

I have some concerns below.

We should require those to be 64k-aligned for permissions too. I can
imagine vendors getting permissions wrong but things happening to work
for a 64k kernel (where I assume we have to use the superset of all
permissions within a 64k page).

This looks coarser than necessary. For memory organised like:

0x00000000 - 0x0000F000 (60KiB) : EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE 
0x0000F000 - 0x00020000 (68KiB) : EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA

We should be able to make the last 64K non-executable, but with this all
128K is executable, unless I've missed something?

Maybe we could do a two-step pass, first mapping the data as
not-executable, then mapping any code pages executable (overriding any
overlapping portions, but only for the overlapping parts).

Sort isn't an inline in this header. I thought it wasn't safe to call
arbitary kernel functions from the stub?

Nit: please chose names to make the relationship between these clearer.
e.g. s/left/mem_a/, s/right/mem_b/.

This looks correct, though slightly painful to read. It might be nicer
with helpers helpers like descs_have_same_attrs and
descs_are_contiguous.

Thanks,

Indeed. But note that this patch is /only/ about interoperability with
the current version of the spec. This is not the venue for discussing
improvements in upcoming versions.

In theory, yes. But considering that

a) this only affects 64 KB pages kernels, and
b) this patch is intended for -stable

I chose to keep it simple and ignore this, and just relax the
permissions for any region that is not aligned to 64 KB.

Since these regions are only mapped during Runtime Services calls, the
window for abuse is not that large.

Let me have a go at that.

We call string functions, cache maintenance functions, libfdt
functions etc etc so it seems not everyone got the memo :-)

I agree that treating vmlinux both as a static library and as a
payload from the stub's pov is a bit sloppy, and I do remember
discussing this, but for the life of me, I can't remember the exact
issue, other than the use of adrp/add and adrp/ldr pairs, which we
fixed by setting the PE/COFF section alignment to 4 KB.

I can do that too. I agree it reads a bit more difficult than necessary.

Thanks,

Ok, that does sound reasonable.

I only had a vague recollection that there was a problem, which I
thought was more to do with potential use of absolute kernel virtual
addresses, which would be incorrect in the context of an EFI
application.

Digging a bit, the stub code itself is safe due to commit
f4f75ad5741fe033 ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library"), but that
isn't necessarily true of anything it calls (libfdt uses callbacks in
several places). I think the cache functions we call are all raw asm
which is position-oblivious.

We do seem to be ok so far, however. Maybe we just need to keep an eye
out.

Thanks,
Mark.
