x86/kprobes: Fix crash when probing CS CALL instructionsgrafted
When using eBPF to probe CS CALL instructions within a function,
a crash can be triggered.
The eBPF tool probes offset 257 of the __hrtimer_run_queues()
function:
<__hrtimer_run_queues+249>: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
<__hrtimer_run_queues+254>: mov %r14,%rdi
<__hrtimer_run_queues+257>: cs call <__x86_indirect_thunk_r12>
<__hrtimer_run_queues+263>: mov %eax,%r12d
<__hrtimer_run_queues+266>: xchg %ax,%ax
<__hrtimer_run_queues+268>: mov %r13,%rdi
Which triggers this crash:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000000f41c9
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Kdump: loaded Tainted: P
RIP: 0010:__hrtimer_run_queues+0x106/0x230
Note that __hrtimer_run_queues+0x106 is __hrtimer_run_queues+262, which is
at the 6th byte of the above CS CALL instruction. Since the CS CALL
instruction occupies 6 bytes, the exception occurred in the middle of that
call instruction.
The root cause is that when using eBPF tools to probe in the middle of a
function, a kprobe with INT3 is used as the underlying implementation.
During single-step emulation of the original CALL instruction,
int3_emulate_call() assumes that the probed CALL instruction is 5 bytes
long. However, the actual CS-prefixed CALL instruction occupies 6 bytes,
so it constructs an incorrect exception return address. When the CPU
returns from the kprobe handler, the next instruction to be executed is at
the address of the last byte of that CS CALL instruction. Coincidentally,
starting from that address, the CPU fetches and decodes a completely
different instruction, which ultimately triggers a kernel crash.
Fix the issue by using the actual instruction length obtained from
the instruction decoder when constructing the exception return
address, rather than relying on the hardcoded CALL_INSN_SIZE macro.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================================= +TS-TEE (Trusted Services project) +================================= + +This driver provides access to secure services implemented by Trusted Services. + +Trusted Services [1] is a TrustedFirmware.org project that provides a framework +for developing and deploying device Root of Trust services in FF-A [2] S-EL0 +Secure Partitions. The project hosts the reference implementation of the Arm +Platform Security Architecture [3] for Arm A-profile devices. + +The FF-A Secure Partitions (SP) are accessible through the FF-A driver [4] which +provides the low level communication for this driver. On top of that the Trusted +Services RPC protocol is used [5]. To use the driver from user space a reference +implementation is provided at [6], which is part of the Trusted Services client +library called libts [7]. + +All Trusted Services (TS) SPs have the same FF-A UUID; it identifies the TS RPC +protocol. A TS SP can host one or more services (e.g. PSA Crypto, PSA ITS, etc). +A service is identified by its service UUID; the same type of service cannot be +present twice in the same SP. During SP boot each service in the SP is assigned +an "interface ID". This is just a short ID to simplify message addressing. + +The generic TEE design is to share memory at once with the Trusted OS, which can +then be reused to communicate with multiple applications running on the Trusted +OS. However, in case of FF-A, memory sharing works on an endpoint level, i.e. +memory is shared with a specific SP. User space has to be able to separately +share memory with each SP based on its endpoint ID; therefore a separate TEE +device is registered for each discovered TS SP. Opening the SP corresponds to +opening the TEE device and creating a TEE context. A TS SP hosts one or more +services. Opening a service corresponds to opening a session in the given +tee_context. + +Overview of a system with Trusted Services components:: + + User space Kernel space Secure world + ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +--------+ +-------------+ + | Client | | Trusted | + +--------+ | Services SP | + /\ +-------------+ + || /\ + || || + || || + \/ \/ + +-------+ +----------+--------+ +-------------+ + | libts | | TEE | TS-TEE | | FF-A SPMC | + | | | subsys | driver | | + SPMD | + +-------+----------------+----+-----+--------+-----------+-------------+ + | Generic TEE API | | FF-A | TS RPC protocol | + | IOCTL (TEE_IOC_*) | | driver | over FF-A | + +-----------------------------+ +--------+-------------------------+ + +References +========== + +[1] https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/trusted-services/ + +[2] https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0077/ + +[3] https://www.arm.com/architecture/security-features/platform-security + +[4] drivers/firmware/arm_ffa/ + +[5] https://trusted-services.readthedocs.io/en/v1.0.0/developer/service-access-protocols.html#abi + +[6] https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TS/trusted-services.git/tree/components/rpc/ts_rpc/caller/linux/ts_rpc_caller_linux.c?h=v1.0.0 + +[7] https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TS/trusted-services.git/tree/deployments/libts/arm-linux/CMakeLists.txt?h=v1.0.0 |
