Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Don't destroy user event fields when removal fails
User event fields are destroyed before the event is removed from
visibility. But that can fail leaving the still visible event with no
fields. Move the destroying of the fields to after the event is
successfully removed from visibility.
- Initialize function graph state is fork before calling
copy_exec_state()
For non-CLONE_VM forks, copy_exec_state() allocates a new
task_exec_state. If that allocation fails, ftrace_graph_exit_task()
will free the tasks ret_stack pointer. Since that pointer is still
using the parent's ret_stack, it mistakenly frees the parent's
pointer too.
Call ftrace_graph_init() on the task first which will NULL out the
new tasks's ret_stack and if the copy fails, it will not free
anything.
- Remove FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX
The macro FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX was added but never used. Remove it.
- Save ent_size in function graph printing of nested functions
The function graph tracer needs to look at the next event to see if
the next event is the return of the current function entry. If it is,
it prints a single line:
ktime_get();
Otherwise it prints it like a nested function:
tick_nohz_irq_exit() {
ktime_get();
kcpustat_irq_exit();
}
In order to look at the next event, it must save the current event so
that it has the information to print from it. It saves the event in
the iterator descriptor called "ent". What it doesn't save is the
ent_size of the event which is now used to know if the function graph
arguments are to be printed. The peek doesn't save the size so the
size used happens to be that of the size of the last event that was
seen.
Save the entry event size in the iterator descriptor so that the
correct size is used.
- Fix several errors with freeing data in the histogram code
The histogram code had a lot of leaked or or incorrect accounting
when failures happen. Correct them.
- Fix histogram regression of .percent and .graph modifiers
Up until 6.3 histogram values could have "percent" or "graph"
modifiers that changed how they were printed. But a change that added
restricting histograms values from being strings, stack traces and
other modifiers inadvertently prevented them from using the percent
and graph modifiers, which were legal use cases for values.
Put back the percent and graph modifiers.
- Fix various typos in the comments
- Set the trace_clock before initializing a histogram with clock
argument
The histogram API allows the user to specific which trace clock to
use via a "clock=" string. The histogram is set up first before the
clock is checked. If the passed in clock is not valid, it exits
without fully fixing up the histogram leaving it on the list and a
use-after-free can trigger.
Update the clock argument first and if it fails then exit gracefully
before the histogram trigger is placed on any lists.
- Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event
The function ftrace_set_clr_event() modifies the parse string and
needs to put it back to what was passed in. It searches for ":mod:"
via a strsep() but fails to put back the first ':' in the string.
Add back the ':' in the passed in string.
- Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file
The options files are dynamically created and some tracers add their
own options. When a tracer adds their own list of options, the
trace_array holding them has an array to hold the list of options for
each tracer. This array increases in size via a krealloc(), and the
new entry gets a newly allocated array to hold the options of the new
tracer being added.
The element in each entry of the tracer's option array holds a
pointer back to the trace_array, a pointer to the tracer it is
associated to, a pointer to the flags of the option.
The issue is that these arrays are freed when the trace_array is
freed when its instance it represents is removed from the instances
directory. There's a race that an open of one of these options files
can happen when the instance is being removed.
Add a new helper function to be called by the open function of the
options file to iterate all existing trace_arrays under a lock and
find the one that has the given option element in one of it's tracer
arrays. If found, then update the associated trace_array's reference
counter to keep it from being freed. If not found, have the open call
return -ENODEV.
- Disable interrupts when acquiring the lock in rb_wake_up_waiters()
The function rb_wake_up_waiters() assumes it will be called in
interrupt context and does not disable irqs when taking
cpu_buffer->reader_lock, which can be called in hard interrupt
context. The issue is in PREEMPT_RT, this function is called in
thread context leaving this lock open to a deadlock.
Take the lock with interrupts disabled.
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash
The tmp_ops used in update_ftrace_direct_mod() assigns its
filter_hash field directly, but that field is annotated as __rcu and
sparse complains. Assign it with rcu_assign_pointer()
- Fix use-after-free in enable_trigger_private_data_free()
The trace_event_call is accessed through the event_trigger_data's
trace_event_file pointer to put the trace_event_call on freeing. The
issue is that the trace_event_file data may have been freed already
causing a use-after-free. Add a field to the event_trigger_data that
points directly to the trace_event_call so that it can decrement its
reference directly without needing to go through the
trace_event_file.
- Fix accounting of buffer data remote headers
trace_buffer_desc_size() and trace_remote_alloc_buffer() undercount
the number of pages is needed for the asked for size as it doesn't
take into account the meta data on each page. Add a helper function
to do the calculation properly and use that in these functions.
- Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing
The number of pages per remote ring buffer is capped by
ring_buffer_desc::nr_page_va (32 bits). A buffer_size large enough to
overflow that field would silently allocate a descriptor smaller than
what was asked for.
- Do not resize the subbuf order if any per_cpu buffer is disabled
The mmapping of ring buffers disables resizing the subbuffers, but it
is done per-cpu whereas the subbuf size change is done for all the
per_cpu buffers under the buffer->mutex. It could change the size of
some while the mapping is happening on others. Have the resize of the
subbuf order check all the per_cpu buffers under the lock to see if
any of them is disabled before starting and causing an inconsistency
between buffers that are being mapped.

An RPC is identified by a special range of SMCCC return +values from OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG. RPC messages which are intended for the +kernel are handled by the kernel driver. Other RPC messages will be forwarded to +tee-supplicant without further involvement of the driver, except switching +shared memory buffer representation. + +OP-TEE device enumeration +------------------------- + +OP-TEE provides a pseudo Trusted Application: drivers/tee/optee/device.c in +order to support device enumeration. In other words, OP-TEE driver invokes this +application to retrieve a list of Trusted Applications which can be registered +as devices on the TEE bus. + +OP-TEE notifications +-------------------- + +There are two kinds of notifications that secure world can use to make +normal world aware of some event. + +1. Synchronous notifications delivered with ``OPTEE_RPC_CMD_NOTIFICATION`` + using the ``OPTEE_RPC_NOTIFICATION_SEND`` parameter. +2. Asynchronous notifications delivered with a combination of a non-secure + edge-triggered interrupt and a fast call from the non-secure interrupt + handler. + +Synchronous notifications are limited by depending on RPC for delivery, +this is only usable when secure world is entered with a yielding call via +``OPTEE_SMC_CALL_WITH_ARG``. This excludes such notifications from secure +world interrupt handlers. + +An asynchronous notification is delivered via a non-secure edge-triggered +interrupt to an interrupt handler registered in the OP-TEE driver. The +actual notification value are retrieved with the fast call +``OPTEE_SMC_GET_ASYNC_NOTIF_VALUE``. Note that one interrupt can represent +multiple notifications. + +One notification value ``OPTEE_SMC_ASYNC_NOTIF_VALUE_DO_BOTTOM_HALF`` has a +special meaning. When this value is received it means that normal world is +supposed to make a yielding call ``OPTEE_MSG_CMD_DO_BOTTOM_HALF``. This +call is done from the thread assisting the interrupt handler. This is a +building block for OP-TEE OS in secure world to implement the top half and +bottom half style of device drivers. + +OPTEE_INSECURE_LOAD_IMAGE Kconfig option +---------------------------------------- + +The OPTEE_INSECURE_LOAD_IMAGE Kconfig option enables the ability to load the +BL32 OP-TEE image from the kernel after the kernel boots, rather than loading +it from the firmware before the kernel boots. This also requires enabling the +corresponding option in Trusted Firmware for Arm. The Trusted Firmware for Arm +documentation [6] explains the security threat associated with enabling this as +well as mitigations at the firmware and platform level. + +There are additional attack vectors/mitigations for the kernel that should be +addressed when using this option. + +1. Boot chain security. + + * Attack vector: Replace the OP-TEE OS image in the rootfs to gain control of + the system. + + * Mitigation: There must be boot chain security that verifies the kernel and + rootfs, otherwise an attacker can modify the loaded OP-TEE binary by + modifying it in the rootfs. + +2. Alternate boot modes. + + * Attack vector: Using an alternate boot mode (i.e. recovery mode), the + OP-TEE driver isn't loaded, leaving the SMC hole open. + + * Mitigation: If there are alternate methods of booting the device, such as a + recovery mode, it should be ensured that the same mitigations are applied + in that mode. + +3. Attacks prior to SMC invocation. + + * Attack vector: Code that is executed prior to issuing the SMC call to load + OP-TEE can be exploited to then load an alternate OS image. + + * Mitigation: The OP-TEE driver must be loaded before any potential attack + vectors are opened up. This should include mounting of any modifiable + filesystems, opening of network ports or communicating with external + devices (e.g. USB). + +4. Blocking SMC call to load OP-TEE. + + * Attack vector: Prevent the driver from being probed, so the SMC call to + load OP-TEE isn't executed when desired, leaving it open to being executed + later and loading a modified OS. + + * Mitigation: It is recommended to build the OP-TEE driver as builtin driver + rather than as a module to prevent exploits that may cause the module to + not be loaded. + +References +========== + +[1] https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os + +[2] http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.den0028a/index.html + +[3] drivers/tee/optee/optee_smc.h + +[4] drivers/tee/optee/optee_msg.h + +[5] http://www.globalplatform.org/specificationsdevice.asp look for + "TEE Client API Specification v1.0" and click download. + +[6] https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/threat_model/threat_model.html diff --git a/Documentation/tee/qtee.rst b/Documentation/tee/qtee.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..2fa2c1bf6 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/tee/qtee.rst @@ -0,0 +1,96 @@ +..
