Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/sgx: Resolve EAUG race where losing thread returns SIGBUS

Two enclave threads may try to access the same non-present enclave page
simultaneously (e.g., if the SGX runtime supports lazy allocation). The
threads will end up in sgx_encl_eaug_page(), racing to acquire the
enclave lock. The winning thread will perform EAUG, set up the page
table entry, and insert the page into encl->page_array. The losing
thread will then get -EBUSY on xa_insert(&encl->page_array) and proceed
to error handling path.

This race condition can be illustrated as follows:

/*                             /*
 * Fault on CPU1                * Fault on CPU2
 * on enclave page X            * on enclave page X
 */                             */
sgx_vma_fault() {              sgx_vma_fault() {

  xa_load(&encl->page_array)     xa_load(&encl->page_array)
      == NULL -->                    == NULL -->

  sgx_encl_eaug_page() {         sgx_encl_eaug_page() {

    ...                            ...

                                   mutex_lock(&encl->lock);
                                   /*

    epc_page = sgx_alloc_epc_page(...);
    /*
     * add page to enclave's xarray,
     * this fails with -EBUSY as this
     * page was already added by CPU2
     */
    xa_insert(&encl->page_array, ...);

  err_out_shrink:
    sgx_encl_free_epc_page(epc_page) {
      /*
       * remove page via EREMOVE
       *
       * *BUG*: page added by CPU2 is
       * yanked from enclave while it
       * remains accessible from OS
       * perspective (PTE installed)
       */
      /*
       * free EPC page
       */
      sgx_free_epc_page(epc_page);
    }

    mutex_unlock(&encl->lock);
    /*
     * *BUG*: SIGBUS is returned
     * for a valid enclave page
     */
    return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;
  }
}

The err_out_shrink error handling path contains two bugs: (1) function
sgx_encl_free_epc_page() is called that performs EREMOVE even though the
enclave page was never intended to be removed, and (2) SIGBUS is sent to
userspace even though the enclave page is correctly installed by another
thread.

The first bug renders the enclave page perpetually inaccessible (until
another SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_REMOVE_PAGES ioctl). This is because the page is
marked accessible in the PTE entry but is not EAUGed, and any subsequent
access to this page raises a fault: with the kernel believing there to
be a valid VMA, the unlikely error code X86_PF_SGX encountered by code
path do_user_addr_fault() -> access_error() causes the SGX driver's
sgx_vma_fault() to be skipped and user space receives a SIGSEGV instead.
The userspace SIGSEGV handler cannot perform EACCEPT because the page
was not EAUGed. Thus, the user space is stuck with the inaccessible
page. The second bug is less severe: a spurious SIGBUS signal is
unnecessarily sent to user space.

Fix these two bugs (1) by returning VM_FAULT_NOPAGE to the generic Linux
fault handler so that no signal is sent to userspace, and (2) by
replacing sgx_encl_free_epc_page() with sgx_free_epc_page() so that no
EREMOVE is performed.

Note that sgx_encl_free_epc_page() performs an additional WARN_ON_ONCE
check in comparison to sgx_free_epc_page(): whether the EPC page is
being reclaimer tracked. However, the EPC page is allocated in
sgx_encl_eaug_page() and has zeroed-out flags in all error handling
paths. In other words, the page is marked as reclaimable only in the
happy path of sgx_encl_eaug_page(). Therefore, in the particular code
path affected in this commit, the "page reclaimer tracked" condition is
always false and the warning is never printed. Thus, it is safe to
replace sgx_encl_free_epc_page() with sgx_free_epc_page().
