Thanks for your help, Ard, I did not consider of BTI and NOP instructions before. It took me some time to view the source code. Currently, I think there may be three problems here(please let me know if i miss something): 1)NOP instruction insertion 2)Position of BTI instruction 3)PAC verification 1)NOP instruction insertion As far as I know, the insertion of the kernel nop instruction is caused by CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, which sets -fpatchable-function-entry=2 to leave positions at the beginning of each function. SCS push should not be affected, because NOP instructions is generated during assembly code output stage(pass final => assemble_start_function),which occurs after the scs pass. So in the final binary, the nop instruction is always inserted before scs push, such as: ffff800010010260 <gic_handle_irq>: ffff800010010260: d503201f nop ffff800010010264: d503201f nop ffff800010010268: f800865e str x30, [x18], #8 ffff80001001026c: a9bb7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp, #-80]! I enabled CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS + SCS_plugin on the 5.14 kernel compiled by gcc 10.3, the kernel can startup normally. 2)Position of BTI instruction BTI instructions are mainly inserted in pass_insert_bti, and the pass sequence is: rtl-mach : OFF ...... rtl-bti : ON rtl-arm64_scs : ON rtl-shorten : ON ....... rtl-final Since arm64_scs is after rtl-bti, the scs push will inserted before bti insns. To solve this, I changed the insertion point of scs pass to before 'mach' (which is the insertion point I originally used), patch: --- a/scripts/gcc-plugins/arm64_scs_plugin.c +++ b/scripts/gcc-plugins/arm64_scs_plugin.c @@ -214,7 +214,7 @@ __visible int plugin_init(struct plugin_name_args *plugin_info, struct plugin_gc const struct plugin_argument * const argv = plugin_info->argv; bool enable = true; - PASS_INFO(arm64_scs, "shorten", 1, PASS_POS_INSERT_BEFORE); + PASS_INFO(arm64_scs, "mach", 1, PASS_POS_INSERT_AFTER); Then BTI will be inserted before scs push, as follows: ffff800010010290 <gic_handle_irq>: ffff800010010290: d503245f bti c ffff800010010294: d503201f nop ffff800010010298: d503201f nop ffff80001001029c: f800865e str x30, [x18], #8 ffff8000100102a0: d503233f paciasp ffff8000100102a4: a9bb7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp, #-80]! ffff8000100102a8: 910003fd mov x29, sp At present, the system startup normally with CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH_KERNEL + CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL (but my qemu does not seem to support BTI commands, and I'm still trying to build a test environment) 3)PAC verification PAC is processed in rtl-pro_and_epilogue, scs can't be put in front of it. In current patch, it will generate instructions like: ffff800010010290 <gic_handle_irq>: ...... ffff80001001029c: f800865e str x30, [x18], #8 ffff8000100102a0: d503233f paciasp ...... ffff800010010364: d50323bf autiasp ffff800010010368: f85f8e5e ldr x30, [x18, #-8]! which means pac is invalid, the attacker only needs to modify the x30 from shadow stack. Modifying the insertion point of scs push/pop should solve this problem(I will try it later). But what puzzles me is that PAC should be an enhanced implementation of SCS. Do we need to support PAC and SCS at the same time?
