CVE-2021-46997

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: entry: always set GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET during entry Zenghui reports that booting a kernel with "irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi=1" on the command line hits a warning during kernel entry, due to the way we manipulate the PMR. Early in the entry sequence, we call lockdep_hardirqs_off() to inform lockdep that interrupts have been masked (as the HW sets DAIF wqhen entering an exception). Architecturally PMR_EL1 is not affected by exception entry, and we don't set GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET in the PMR early in the exception entry sequence, so early in exception entry the PMR can indicate that interrupts are unmasked even though they are masked by DAIF. If DEBUG_LOCKDEP is selected, lockdep_hardirqs_off() will check that interrupts are masked, before we set GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET in any of the exception entry paths, and hence lockdep_hardirqs_off() will WARN() that something is amiss. We can avoid this by consistently setting GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET during exception entry so that kernel code sees a consistent environment. We must also update local_daif_inherit() to undo this, as currently only touches DAIF. For other paths, local_daif_restore() will update both DAIF and the PMR. With this done, we can remove the existing special cases which set this later in the entry code. We always use (GIC_PRIO_IRQON | GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET) for consistency with local_daif_save(), as this will warn if it ever encounters (GIC_PRIO_IRQOFF | GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET), and never sets this itself. This matches the gic_prio_kentry_setup that we have to retain for ret_to_user. The original splat from Zenghui's report was: | DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled()) | WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 125 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4258 lockdep_hardirqs_off+0xd4/0xe8 | Modules linked in: | CPU: 3 PID: 125 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 5.12.0-rc8+ #463 | Hardware name: QEMU KVM Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 | pstate: 604003c5 (nZCv DAIF +PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--) | pc : lockdep_hardirqs_off+0xd4/0xe8 | lr : lockdep_hardirqs_off+0xd4/0xe8 | sp : ffff80002a39bad0 | pmr_save: 000000e0 | x29: ffff80002a39bad0 x28: ffff0000de214bc0 | x27: ffff0000de1c0400 x26: 000000000049b328 | x25: 0000000000406f30 x24: ffff0000de1c00a0 | x23: 0000000020400005 x22: ffff8000105f747c | x21: 0000000096000044 x20: 0000000000498ef9 | x19: ffff80002a39bc88 x18: ffffffffffffffff | x17: 0000000000000000 x16: ffff800011c61eb0 | x15: ffff800011700a88 x14: 0720072007200720 | x13: 0720072007200720 x12: 0720072007200720 | x11: 0720072007200720 x10: 0720072007200720 | x9 : ffff80002a39bad0 x8 : ffff80002a39bad0 | x7 : ffff8000119f0800 x6 : c0000000ffff7fff | x5 : ffff8000119f07a8 x4 : 0000000000000001 | x3 : 9bcdab23f2432800 x2 : ffff800011730538 | x1 : 9bcdab23f2432800 x0 : 0000000000000000 | Call trace: | lockdep_hardirqs_off+0xd4/0xe8 | enter_from_kernel_mode.isra.5+0x7c/0xa8 | el1_abort+0x24/0x100 | el1_sync_handler+0x80/0xd0 | el1_sync+0x6c/0x100 | __arch_clear_user+0xc/0x90 | load_elf_binary+0x9fc/0x1450 | bprm_execve+0x404/0x880 | kernel_execve+0x180/0x188 | call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0xdc/0x158 | ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: arm64: entrada: configure siempre GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET durante la entrada Zenghui informa que al iniciar un kernel con "irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi=1" en la línea de comando aparece una advertencia durante la entrada del kernel, debido a la forma manipulamos el PMR. Al principio de la secuencia de entrada, llamamos a lockdep_hardirqs_off() para informar a lockdep que las interrupciones han sido enmascaradas (ya que el HW configura DAIF cuando ingresa una excepción). Desde el punto de vista arquitectónico, PMR_EL1 no se ve afectado por la entrada de excepción y no configuramos GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET en el PMR al principio de la secuencia de entrada de excepción, por lo que al principio de la entrada de excepción el PMR puede indicar que las interrupciones están desenmascaradas aunque estén enmascaradas por DAIF. Si se selecciona DEBUG_LOCKDEP, lockdep_hardirqs_off() verificará que las interrupciones estén enmascaradas, antes de configurar GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET en cualquiera de las rutas de entrada de excepción y, por lo tanto, lockdep_hardirqs_off() ADVERTENCIA() que algo anda mal. Podemos evitar esto configurando consistentemente GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET durante la entrada de excepciones para que el código del kernel vea un entorno consistente. También debemos actualizar local_daif_inherit() para deshacer esto, ya que actualmente solo toca DAIF. Para otras rutas, local_daif_restore() actualizará tanto DAIF como PMR. Una vez hecho esto, podemos eliminar los casos especiales existentes que configuran esto más adelante en el código de entrada. Siempre usamos (GIC_PRIO_IRQON | GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET) para mantener la coherencia con local_daif_save(), ya que esto avisará si alguna vez encuentra (GIC_PRIO_IRQOFF | GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET), y nunca lo configura por sí mismo. Esto coincide con gic_prio_kentry_setup que debemos conservar para ret_to_user.
