Subject: [PATCH v15 00/11] mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas
From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@...ux.ibm.com>
Hi,
@Andrew, this is based on v5.11-rc4-mmots-2021-01-19-13-54 with secretmem
patches dropped from there, I can rebase whatever way you prefer.
This is an implementation of "secret" mappings backed by a file descriptor.
The file descriptor backing secret memory mappings is created using a
dedicated memfd_secret system call The desired protection mode for the
memory is configured using flags parameter of the system call. The mmap()
of the file descriptor created with memfd_secret() will create a "secret"
memory mapping. The pages in that mapping will be marked as not present in
the direct map and will be present only in the page table of the owning mm.
Although normally Linux userspace mappings are protected from other users,
such secret mappings are useful for environments where a hostile tenant is
trying to trick the kernel into giving them access to other tenants
mappings.
Additionally, in the future the secret mappings may be used as a mean to
protect guest memory in a virtual machine host.
For demonstration of secret memory usage we've created a userspace library
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/secret-memory-preloader.git
that does two things: the first is act as a preloader for openssl to
redirect all the OPENSSL_malloc calls to secret memory meaning any secret
keys get automatically protected this way and the other thing it does is
expose the API to the user who needs it. We anticipate that a lot of the
use cases would be like the openssl one: many toolkits that deal with
secret keys already have special handling for the memory to try to give
them greater protection, so this would simply be pluggable into the
toolkits without any need for user application modification.
Hiding secret memory mappings behind an anonymous file allows (ab)use of
the page cache for tracking pages allocated for the "secret" mappings as
well as using address_space_operations for e.g. page migration callbacks.
The anonymous file may be also used implicitly, like hugetlb files, to
implement mmap(MAP_SECRET) and use the secret memory areas with "native" mm
ABIs in the future.
To limit fragmentation of the direct map to splitting only PUD-size pages,
I've added an amortizing cache of PMD-size pages to each file descriptor
that is used as an allocation pool for the secret memory areas.
As the memory allocated by secretmem becomes unmovable, we use CMA to back
large page caches so that page allocator won't be surprised by failing attempt
to migrate these pages.
v15:
* Add riscv/Kconfig update to disable set_memory operations for nommu
builds (patch 3)
* Update the code around add_to_page_cache() per Matthew's comments
(patches 6,7)
* Add fixups for build/checkpatch errors discovered by CI systems
v14: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201203062949.5484-1-rppt@kernel.org
* Finally s/mod_node_page_state/mod_lruvec_page_state/
v13: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201201074559.27742-1-rppt@kernel.org
* Added Reviewed-by, thanks Catalin and David
* s/mod_node_page_state/mod_lruvec_page_state/ as Shakeel suggested
v12: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201125092208.12544-1-rppt@kernel.org
* Add detection of whether set_direct_map has actual effect on arm64 and bail
out of CMA allocation for secretmem and the memfd_secret() syscall if pages
would not be removed from the direct map
v11: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201124092556.12009-1-rppt@kernel.org
* Drop support for uncached mappings
