2026-09-14microblaze: reset: Provide a power off handler through an unaligned PCThomas Weißschuh
microblaze is missing a generic architecture-wide power off mechanism. To enable KUnit for microblaze it is necessary for KUnit to shut down the machine in a way that QEMU will recognize. The machines emulated by QEMU do not provide machine-specific power off functionality which could be used. However at least the petalogix-s3adsp1800 machine will abort if an unaligned instruction is executed. An ugly message will be printed but that is not an issue for KUnit. Make use of this to provide a power off handler.

2026-09-01microblaze: prevent ptrace writes to MSR and pt_modeJérémy Jean
arch_ptrace() accepts PTRACE_POKEUSR for every aligned offset below PT_SIZE. This includes the saved machine status register and pt_mode, which are kernel-owned execution state rather than general registers. On return from an exception, rtbd copies MSR_UMS to the live MSR_UM bit. An unprivileged same-UID tracer can therefore clear MSR_UMS in its tracee's saved register frame and make the tracee resume in supervisor mode. pt_mode also controls whether later entry paths classify the frame as kernel or user state. Reject PTRACE_POKEUSR writes to both fields while retaining read access.

2026-09-01microblaze: preserve the MSR carry flags across signalsSam Price
setup_sigcontext() and restore_sigcontext() copy r0-r31, pc, ear, esr and fsr to and from the signal frame but never touch MSR. The interrupted MSR is therefore dropped from the signal context entirely: the handler's ucontext does not expose it, a handler cannot adjust the resumed arithmetic flags through uc_mcontext.regs.msr, and -- because restore_sigcontext() leaves regs->msr as whatever the rt_sigreturn trap left in it -- the interrupted context resumes with the carry produced by the syscall entry path (_user_exception does "addi r14, r14, 4", which writes carry), not with its own. Other architectures round-trip the user-visible flags through the signal frame (arm's cpsr, csky's carry, x86's eflags), so a handler can both read and adjust the resumed flags; purely privileged status registers such as riscv's sstatus are left out. MicroBlaze should do the same for the user-writable bits. Concretely, MSR[C] (carry) is lost across signal delivery. Code that keeps a live carry across a point where a signal can be delivered -- for example an lwx/swx compare-and-swap retry loop, between the swx and the carry test -- resumes with the handler's carry and mis-evaluates the result; the same failure class as the rt_sigreturn r3/r4 clobber, reached through a different register. Demonstrated under qemu-system-microblazeel (machine petalogix-s3adsp1800): a handler that sets MSR_C in uc_mcontext.regs.msr has no effect before this change (0 of 132 in-window signals propagated) and takes effect after (130 of 132). Save MSR in setup_sigcontext() so the handler's ucontext exposes it. The signal frame is user-writable, so restore_sigcontext() must not restore it verbatim: MicroBlaze packs the user-writable carry (MSR_C, MSR_CC) and the privileged control bits (MSR_UM, MSR_VM, MSR_IE, MSR_EE, ...) into the one register, and a verbatim restore would let userspace alter privileged return state -- rtbd derives the resumed mode from MSR_UMS/MSR_VMS. Restore only MSR_C | MSR_CC from the frame and keep the rest from the current regs->msr. This mirrors x86's restore_sigcontext(), which masks the restored EFLAGS to FIX_EFLAGS for the same reason; arches whose status register is purely privileged (e.g. riscv sstatus) simply do not restore it at all. Comment on the exposed MSR reworded: it is not read-only, restore_sigcontext() applies MSR_C|MSR_CC from the frame. Author's Signed-off-by kept; he agreed to comment and changelog cleanups.

2026-09-01microblaze: restore the ABI argument home area below pt_regs (PTO)Ramin Moussavi
The MicroBlaze ABI has the caller reserve stack space for the arguments it passes in registers: REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE is 24 and OUTGOING_REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE is 1 in the gcc backend, so a callee may write to [caller_sp + 4, caller_sp + 28). The kernel calls C functions from entry.S with r1 pointing at pt_regs, handing the callee license to spill its incoming arguments over the saved registers -- the syscall dispatch is the worst case, where the first argument slot is PT_R1, the saved user stack pointer. This was latent until GCC 15: since 3b9b8d6cfdf5 ("ira: Scale save/restore costs of callee save registers with block frequency") the allocator prefers spilling incoming arguments over copying them into callee-saved registers, and a kernel built with gcc >= 15 (without the TARGET_CALLEE_SAVE_COST workaround some distributions carry) corrupts PT_R1 on the first syscall: init takes SIGSEGV and the kernel panics. The kernel had exactly this reservation until 2011: commit 6e83557c38b4 ("microblaze: Remove r0_ram pointer and PTO alignment") removed STATE_SAVE_ARG_SPACE and with it the PTO offset, as part of cleaning up what was thought to be copied-from-v850 leftovers. Restore it: the frame is STATE_SAVE_SIZE = PT_SIZE + PTO, r1 stays at the frame base through every asm-to-C call, and the saved registers are reached at r1 + PTO + PT_*. PTO is 28 rather than the historic 24, which was one word short: FIRST_PARM_OFFSET is 4 and REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE is 24, so the area spans [sp+4, sp+28) and needs 28 bytes. With 24 the last argument slot overlapped pt_regs' r0 -- harmless only because r0 is the constant-zero register. STACK_BOUNDARY is 32 bits, so 28 needs no further rounding. Two places deliberately keep their mainline addressing. hw_exception_handler.S needs no offset change: its real-mode handler saves into the standalone pt_pool_space buffer rather than a stack frame, and _unaligned_data_exception works through a pointer to pt_regs in r7, where plain PT_* offsets are already right. And the user-SP reload after popping the frame keeps PT_R1 - PT_SIZE because PTO cancels there: (PTO + PT_R1) - (PT_SIZE + PTO) = PT_R1 - PT_SIZE. Both are exactly as the pre-2011 code had them. The instruction count is unchanged -- the same instructions with different immediates, no per-call reservation and no trampolines. The cost is 28 bytes more kernel stack per saved frame.

2026-09-01microblaze: don't clobber r3/r4 restored by rt_sigreturnRamin Moussavi
ret_from_trap begins by storing the system call return values r3 and r4 back into the saved user pt_regs. That is right for an ordinary system call, but sys_rt_sigreturn() returns through the same path and has to be transparent: restore_sigcontext() has just filled pt_regs from the signal frame, and every register must reach userspace exactly as saved. The two stores overwrite the restored r3/r4 with whatever the C function left in those registers. Only r4 is actually lost, and that follows from how sigreturn is written everywhere rather than from chance. Architectures have sys_rt_sigreturn() return the restored return-value register precisely so that this writeback stores the restored value -- arm returns regs->ARM_r0, riscv and csky regs->a0, arc regs->r0 -- and microblaze does the same through *rval_p = regs->r3 in restore_sigcontext(). But the entry macros treat r3 and r4 as a pair, so ret_from_trap writes back two registers while a C function has only one return value; nothing carries the restored r4. Commit 791d0a169b91 ("microblaze: Fix sys_rt_sigreturn_wrapper") introduced this in v2.6.37. The old wrapper saved r3/r4 before the call and reloaded them from pt_regs afterwards; switching brlid to brid removed the only point where they were reloaded, and the stores have been overwriting them ever since. Fix it the way the sibling paths already behave: ret_from_irq and ret_from_exc restore the full register set and do not perform these stores at all. Label the instruction after the stores ret_from_trap_no_rval and enter there, biasing r15 by -8 so that the ABI return "rtsd r15, 8" lands on it; naming the entry rather than computing ret_from_trap + 8 keeps it correct if the number of stores ever changes. Restoring the old save/reload would work too, but costs four memory accesses and a branch to undo damage that is better not done. Any value the compiler keeps in r4 across a signal is lost. The tightest windows are the lwx/swx compare-and-swap retry loops gcc emits for atomics: in uClibc-ng's libc.so alone, 50 of 364 such loops hold the address in r4. This is not specific to one libc -- musl passes the address as "r"(p), and glibc has no microblaze atomic-machine.h and so uses gcc's __atomic builtins, which expand the same way. Triggering it needs threads plus a signal storm, which is why it survived 15 years. Reproduced on qemu-system-microblazeel (petalogix-s3adsp1800) by running the uClibc-ng NPTL test tst-eintr1 40 times against an unchanged userspace: on v7.2 built with gcc 16.2.0, 23 of 40 iterations died with SIGSEGV without this patch and 0 of 40 with it; on v7.0 built with gcc 12.5.0 the same comparison gave 6 of 40 against 0 of 40. The register dump of a failing iteration shows the signature: a zero r4 and a fault at address 0, while r3 came back intact.

2026-09-01microblaze: reserve the ABI argument-home area in the signal frameRamin Moussavi
The MicroBlaze procedure call standard reserves [r1+0] for the return address and lets a callee store its incoming register arguments r5..r10 into the caller-provided home slots at [r1+4]..[r1+24]. When the kernel enters a signal handler it sets r1 to point at struct rt_sigframe, whose leading member is the siginfo prepared for the handler. A handler that homes its arguments - which an unoptimised (-O0) build always does - therefore overwrites the first 24 bytes of that siginfo, so an SA_SIGINFO handler reads corrupted values. The stores stay within siginfo (128 bytes) and do not reach the ucontext behind it. Reserve the home area by making a seven-word gap -- the return-address slot plus the six argument slots, 28 bytes -- the first member of struct rt_sigframe, so the handler's argument stores land in scratch space instead of clobbering siginfo. Tested on qemu-system-microblazeel (petalogix-s3adsp1800) with the uClibc-ng NPTL test suite: tst-timer4, tst-timer5, tst-mqueue5 and tst-signal6 pass; before this change they failed because the handler clobbered the signal frame.

2026-09-01microblaze: wire up sigaltstackRamin Moussavi
sigaltstack is wired to sys_ni_syscall - microblaze is the only architecture without it - although the microblaze signal delivery code fully supports the alternate signal stack: get_sigframe() picks the stack via sigsp(), setup_rt_frame() saves it with __save_altstack() and sys_rt_sigreturn() calls restore_altstack(). Wire it up to sys_sigaltstack. Tested on qemu petalogix-s3adsp1800 (microblazeel) with the uClibc-ng test suite: the five sigaltstack-dependent NPTL tests (tst-cancel20/21, tst-cancelx20/21, tst-signal6) pass; before this change sigaltstack() returned ENOSYS.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Make syscall user dispatching configurable Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow them to disable the feature completely. - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the architectures using it. Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by separating the storage model in the affected architectures. * tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) entry, treewide: Make syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() indicate syscall execution entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool entry: Rework trace_syscall_enter() entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter() syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC x86/entry: Simplify the syscall number logic x86/entry: Get rid of the sys_ni_syscall() indirection x86/entry: Make syscall functions static ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry() seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean entry: Use syscall number instead of rereading it entry: Remove syscall_enter_from_user_mode() x86/syscall: Use [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() s390/syscall: Use enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() powerpc/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() loongarch/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() randomize_kstack: Provide add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff() ...

2026-08-04microblaze: restore the page alignment of swapper_pg_dirRamin Moussavi
microblaze handles TLB misses in software, and the handler builds the address of the L1 entry by ORing the index into the page directory base instead of adding it (hw_exception_handler.S): bsrli r5, r3, PGDIR_SHIFT - 2 andi r5, r5, PAGE_SIZE - 4 /* Assume pgdir aligned on 4K boundary, no need for "andi r4,r4,0xfffff003" */ or r4, r4, r5 lwi r4, r4, 0 /* Get L1 entry */ The index is masked to the low 12 bits, so the OR only works if those bits of the base are zero -- which is exactly the assumption the comment states and the reason the masking of the base can be skipped. swapper_pg_dir had no alignment directive of its own. It was aligned because it followed empty_zero_page in head.S, and that one carried the .align 12: .section .data .global empty_zero_page .align 12 empty_zero_page: .space PAGE_SIZE .global swapper_pg_dir swapper_pg_dir: .space PAGE_SIZE Commit 6215d9f4470f ("arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page") removed empty_zero_page from head.S, and with it the .align 12 that -- despite sitting next to empty_zero_page -- was what page aligned swapper_pg_dir. Since then swapper_pg_dir lands wherever .data happens to put it, its low bits are no longer zero, and every kernel TLB miss ORs the index into a base with a nonzero offset. The resulting L1 lookups read the wrong words, no valid translation is ever installed, and the kernel spins in exceptions long before it can print anything. On qemu-system-microblazeel (petalogix-s3adsp1800) the console stays completely silent at 100% CPU; there is no oops and no guest error reported by qemu, which makes this awkward to diagnose. Give swapper_pg_dir the alignment it requires, rather than relying on a neighbour to provide it. microblaze has no noMMU variant left in mainline -- CONFIG_MMU is def_bool y and mmu_defconfig is the only defconfig -- so this is not a corner case: every mainline microblaze kernel since v7.1-rc1 fails to boot, including the v7.1 release. v7.0: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc05fd000 (aligned) v7.1-rc1: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc0603140 (offset 320) v7.1-rc1 + this fix: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc0604000 (aligned) next-20260726: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc0615140 (offset 320) next-20260726 + this fix: swapper_pg_dir = 0xc0616000 (aligned) Verified on qemu-system-microblazeel (petalogix-s3adsp1800) with mmu_defconfig and microblazeel gcc 12.5.0: v7.1-rc1 and next-20260726 both print nothing at all without the fix, and both boot to userspace with it.

2026-04-05arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_pageMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of ZERO_PAGE() to 4. Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement colored zero page (MIPS and s390). ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static inline causes severe pain in header dependencies. For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy: * alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only * arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact. * m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock, although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS will work fine. * sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it can't use virt_to_page() for BSS.

2026-01-22rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()Thomas Gleixner
Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the kernel granted a time slice extension. sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

2025-09-25arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.cMenglong Dong
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
2025-09-01arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64Simon Schuster
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

2025-07-02fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscallsAndrey Albershteyn
Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat() semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended attributes. This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd. This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory and a path - *at() like syscall.

This lie had been hidden by the fact that container_of() "casts away" a const attribute of a pointer without any compiler warning happening at all.

2024-06-25syscalls: mmap(): use unsigned offset type consistentlyArnd Bergmann
Most architectures that implement the old-style mmap() with byte offset use 'unsigned long' as the type for that offset, but microblaze and riscv have the off_t type that is shared with userspace, matching the prototype in include/asm-generic/syscalls.h. Make this consistent by using an unsigned argument everywhere. This changes the behavior slightly, as the argument is shifted to a page number, and an user input with the top bit set would result in a negative page offset rather than a large one as we use elsewhere. For riscv, the 32-bit sys_mmap2() definition actually used a custom type that is different from the global declaration, but this was missed due to an incorrect type check.

2024-05-23mseal: wire up mseal syscallJeff Xu
Patch series "Introduce mseal", v10. This patchset proposes a new mseal() syscall for the Linux kernel. In a nutshell, mseal() protects the VMAs of a given virtual memory range against modifications, such as changes to their permission bits. Modern CPUs support memory permissions, such as the read/write (RW) and no-execute (NX) bits. Linux has supported NX since the release of kernel version 2.6.8 in August 2004 [1]. The memory permission feature improves the security stance on memory corruption bugs, as an attacker cannot simply write to arbitrary memory and point the code to it. The memory must be marked with the X bit, or else an exception will occur. Internally, the kernel maintains the memory permissions in a data structure called VMA (vm_area_struct). mseal() additionally protects the VMA itself against modifications of the selected seal type. Memory sealing is useful to mitigate memory corruption issues where a corrupted pointer is passed to a memory management system. For example, such an attacker primitive can break control-flow integrity guarantees since read-only memory that is supposed to be trusted can become writable or .text pages can get remapped. Memory sealing can automatically be applied by the runtime loader to seal .text and .rodata pages and applications can additionally seal security critical data at runtime. A similar feature already exists in the XNU kernel with the VM_FLAGS_PERMANENT [3] flag and on OpenBSD with the mimmutable syscall [4]. Also, Chrome wants to adopt this feature for their CFI work [2] and this patchset has been designed to be compatible with the Chrome use case. Two system calls are involved in sealing the map: mmap() and mseal(). The new mseal() is an syscall on 64 bit CPU, and with following signature: int mseal(void addr, size_t len, unsigned long flags) addr/len: memory range. flags: reserved. mseal() blocks following operations for the given memory range. 1> Unmapping, moving to another location, and shrinking the size, via munmap() and mremap(), can leave an empty space, therefore can be replaced with a VMA with a new set of attributes. 2> Moving or expanding a different VMA into the current location, via mremap(). 3> Modifying a VMA via mmap(MAP_FIXED). 4> Size expansion, via mremap(), does not appear to pose any specific risks to sealed VMAs. It is included anyway because the use case is unclear. In any case, users can rely on merging to expand a sealed VMA. 5> mprotect() and pkey_mprotect(). 6> Some destructive madvice() behaviors (e.g. MADV_DONTNEED) for anonymous memory, when users don't have write permission to the memory. Those behaviors can alter region contents by discarding pages, effectively a memset(0) for anonymous memory. The idea that inspired this patch comes from Stephen Röttger’s work in V8 CFI [5]. Chrome browser in ChromeOS will be the first user of this API. Indeed, the Chrome browser has very specific requirements for sealing, which are distinct from those of most applications. For example, in the case of libc, sealing is only applied to read-only (RO) or read-execute (RX) memory segments (such as .text and .RELRO) to prevent them from becoming writable, the lifetime of those mappings are tied to the lifetime of the process. Chrome wants to seal two large address space reservations that are managed by different allocators. The memory is mapped RW- and RWX respectively but write access to it is restricted using pkeys (or in the future ARM permission overlay extensions). The lifetime of those mappings are not tied to the lifetime of the process, therefore, while the memory is sealed, the allocators still need to free or discard the unused memory. For example, with madvise(DONTNEED). However, always allowing madvise(DONTNEED) on this range poses a security risk. For example if a jump instruction crosses a page boundary and the second page gets discarded, it will overwrite the target bytes with zeros and change the control flow. Checking write-permission before the discard operation allows us to control when the operation is valid. In this case, the madvise will only succeed if the executing thread has PKEY write permissions and PKRU changes are protected in software by control-flow integrity. Although the initial version of this patch series is targeting the Chrome browser as its first user, it became evident during upstream discussions that we would also want to ensure that the patch set eventually is a complete solution for memory sealing and compatible with other use cases. The specific scenario currently in mind is glibc's use case of loading and sealing ELF executables. To this end, Stephen is working on a change to glibc to add sealing support to the dynamic linker, which will seal all non-writable segments at startup. Once this work is completed, all applications will be able to automatically benefit from these new protections. In closing, I would like to formally acknowledge the valuable contributions received during the RFC process, which were instrumental in shaping this patch: Jann Horn: raising awareness and providing valuable insights on the destructive madvise operations. Liam R. Howlett: perf optimization. Linus Torvalds: assisting in defining system call signature and scope. Theo de Raadt: sharing the experiences and insight gained from implementing mimmutable() in OpenBSD. MM perf benchmarks ================== This patch adds a loop in the mprotect/munmap/madvise(DONTNEED) to check the VMAs’ sealing flag, so that no partial update can be made, when any segment within the given memory range is sealed. To measure the performance impact of this loop, two tests are developed. [8] The first is measuring the time taken for a particular system call, by using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC). The second is using PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES (exclude user space). Both tests have similar results. The tests have roughly below sequence: for (i = 0; i < 1000, i++) create 1000 mappings (1 page per VMA) start the sampling for (j = 0; j < 1000, j++) mprotect one mapping stop and save the sample delete 1000 mappings calculates all samples. Below tests are performed on Intel(R) Pentium(R) Gold 7505 @ 2.00GHz, 4G memory, Chromebook.

In comparison to mseal, which adds 20-40 ns or 50-100 CPU cycles, the increase from 5.10 to 6.8 is significantly larger, approximately ten times greater for munmap and mprotect. When I discuss the mm performance with Brian Makin, an engineer who worked on performance, it was brought to my attention that such performance benchmarks, which measuring millions of mm syscall in a tight loop, may not accurately reflect real-world scenarios, such as that of a database service. Also this is tested using a single HW and ChromeOS, the data from another HW or distribution might be different. It might be best to take this data with a grain of salt.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm Pull security module updates from Paul Moore: - Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and lsm_set_self_attr(). The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under /proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple, simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current /proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM was allowed to be active at a given time. We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls. Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g. syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain. My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of their concerns. - Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit ioctls on 64-bit systems problem. This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes. - Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled at boot. While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense. Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like the best fit. - Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc. I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role; hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to look after it. - Add a handful of mailmap entries for Serge Hallyn and myself. * tag 'lsm-pr-20240105' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm: (27 commits) lsm: new security_file_ioctl_compat() hook lsm: Add a __counted_by() annotation to lsm_ctx.ctx calipso: fix memory leak in netlbl_calipso_add_pass() selftests: remove the LSM_ID_IMA check in lsm/lsm_list_modules_test MAINTAINERS: add an entry for the lockdown LSM MAINTAINERS: update the LSM entry mailmap: add entries for Serge Hallyn's dead accounts mailmap: update/replace my old email addresses lsm: mark the lsm_id variables are marked as static lsm: convert security_setselfattr() to use memdup_user() lsm: align based on pointer length in lsm_fill_user_ctx() lsm: consolidate buffer size handling into lsm_fill_user_ctx() lsm: correct error codes in security_getselfattr() lsm: cleanup the size counters in security_getselfattr() lsm: don't yet account for IMA in LSM_CONFIG_COUNT calculation lsm: drop LSM_ID_IMA LSM: selftests for Linux Security Module syscalls SELinux: Add selfattr hooks AppArmor: Add selfattr hooks Smack: implement setselfattr and getselfattr hooks ...

2023-10-06arch: Reserve map_shadow_stack() syscall number for all architecturesSohil Mehta
commit c35559f94ebc ("x86/shstk: Introduce map_shadow_stack syscall") recently added support for map_shadow_stack() but it is limited to x86 only for now. There is a possibility that other architectures (namely, arm64 and RISC-V), that are implementing equivalent support for shadow stacks, might need to add support for it. Independent of that, reserving arch-specific syscall numbers in the syscall tables of all architectures is good practice and would help avoid future conflicts. map_shadow_stack() is marked as a conditional syscall in sys_ni.c. Adding it to the syscall tables of other architectures is harmless and would return ENOSYS when exercised. Note, map_shadow_stack() was assigned #453 during the merge process since #452 was taken by fchmodat2(). For Powerpc, map it to sys_ni_syscall() as is the norm for Powerpc syscall tables. For Alpha, map_shadow_stack() takes up #563 as Alpha still diverges from the common syscall numbering system in the other architectures.

2023-09-21futex: Add sys_futex_requeue()peterz@infradead.org
Finish off the 'simple' futex2 syscall group by adding sys_futex_requeue(). Unlike sys_futex_{wait,wake}() its arguments are too numerous to fit into a regular syscall. As such, use struct futex_waitv to pass the 'source' and 'destination' futexes to the syscall. This syscall implements what was previously known as FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE and uses {val, uaddr, flags} for source and {uaddr, flags} for destination. This design explicitly allows requeueing between different types of futex by having a different flags word per uaddr.

To complement sys_futex_waitv()/wake(), add sys_futex_wait(). This syscall implements what was previously known as FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET except it uses 'unsigned long' for the value and bitmask arguments, takes timespec and clockid_t arguments for the absolute timeout and uses FUTEX2 flags. The 'unsigned long' allows FUTEX2_SIZE_U64 on 64bit platforms.
