Subject: [PATCH v6 4/4] powerpc/64s: Initialize and use a temporary mm for patching on Radix
When code patching a STRICT_KERNEL_RWX kernel the page containing the
address to be patched is temporarily mapped as writeable. Currently, a
per-cpu vmalloc patch area is used for this purpose. While the patch
area is per-cpu, the temporary page mapping is inserted into the kernel
page tables for the duration of patching. The mapping is exposed to CPUs
other than the patching CPU - this is undesirable from a hardening
perspective. Use a temporary mm instead which keeps the mapping local to
the CPU doing the patching.
Use the `poking_init` init hook to prepare a temporary mm and patching
address. Initialize the temporary mm by copying the init mm. Choose a
randomized patching address inside the temporary mm userspace address
space. The patching address is randomized between PAGE_SIZE and
DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW-PAGE_SIZE.
Bits of entropy with 64K page size on BOOK3S_64:
bits of entropy = log2(DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW_USER64 / PAGE_SIZE)
PAGE_SIZE=64K, DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW_USER64=128TB
bits of entropy = log2(128TB / 64K)
bits of entropy = 31
The upper limit is DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW due to how the Book3s64 Hash MMU
operates - by default the space above DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW is not
available. Currently the Hash MMU does not use a temporary mm so
technically this upper limit isn't necessary; however, a larger
randomization range does not further "harden" this overall approach and
future work may introduce patching with a temporary mm on Hash as well.
Randomization occurs only once during initialization at boot for each
possible CPU in the system.
Introduce two new functions, map_patch_mm() and unmap_patch_mm(), to
respectively create and remove the temporary mapping with write
permissions at patching_addr. Map the page with PAGE_KERNEL to set
EAA[0] for the PTE which ignores the AMR (so no need to unlock/lock
KUAP) according to PowerISA v3.0b Figure 35 on Radix.
Based on x86 implementation:
commit 4fc19708b165
("x86/alternatives: Initialize temporary mm for patching")
and:
commit b3fd8e83ada0
("x86/alternatives: Use temporary mm for text poking")

v6: * Small clean-ups (naming, formatting, style, etc).
* Call stop_using_temporary_mm() before pte_unmap_unlock() after
patching.
* Replace BUG_ON()s in poking_init() w/ WARN_ON()s.
v5: * Only support Book3s64 Radix MMU for now.
* Use a per-cpu datastructure to hold the patching_addr and
patching_mm to avoid the need for a synchronization lock/mutex.
v4: * In the previous series this was two separate patches: one to init
the temporary mm in poking_init() (unused in powerpc at the time)
and the other to use it for patching (which removed all the
per-cpu vmalloc code). Now that we use poking_init() in the
existing per-cpu vmalloc approach, that separation doesn't work
as nicely anymore so I just merged the two patches into one.
* Preload the SLB entry and hash the page for the patching_addr
when using Hash on book3s64 to avoid taking an SLB and Hash fault
during patching. The previous implementation was a hack which
changed current->mm to allow the SLB and Hash fault handlers to
work with the temporary mm since both of those code-paths always
assume mm == current->mm.
* Also (hmm - seeing a trend here) with the book3s64 Hash MMU we
have to manage the mm->context.active_cpus counter and mm cpumask
since they determine (via mm_is_thread_local()) if the TLB flush
in pte_clear() is local or not - it should always be local when
we're using the temporary mm. On book3s64's Radix MMU we can
just call local_flush_tlb_mm().
* Use HPTE_USE_KERNEL_KEY on Hash to avoid costly lock/unlock of
KUAP.
