[PATCH v2 12/15] powerpc/mm/32s: Use BATs for STRICT_KERNEL_RWX

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Thu Jan 10 2019 - 10:12:11 EST


Today, STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is based on the use of regular pages
to map kernel pages.

On Book3s 32, it has three consequences:
- Using pages instead of BAT for mapping kernel linear memory severely
impacts performance.
- Exec protection is not effective because no-execute cannot be set at
page level (except on 603 which doesn't have hash tables)
- Write protection is not effective because PP bits do not provide RO
mode for kernel-only pages (except on 603 which handles it in software
via PAGE_DIRTY)

On the 603+, we have:
- Independent IBAT and DBAT allowing limitation of exec parts.
- NX bit can be set in segment registers to forbit execution on memory
mapped by pages.
- RO mode on DBATs even for kernel-only blocks.

On the 601, there is nothing much we can do other than warn the user
about it, because:
- BATs are common to instructions and data.
- BAT do not provide RO mode for kernel-only blocks.
- segment registers don't have the NX bit.

In order to use IBAT for exec protection, this patch:
- Aligns _etext to BAT block sizes (128kb)
- Set NX bit in kernel segment register (Except on vmalloc area when
CONFIG_MODULES is selected)
- Maps kernel text with IBATs.

In order to use DBAT for exec protection, this patch:
- Aligns RW DATA to BAT block sizes (4M)
- Maps kernel RO area with write prohibited DBATs
- Maps remaining memory with remaining DBATs

Here is what we get with this patch on a 832x when activating
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX:

c0680000 R __start_rodata

Aligning _etext to 128kb allows to map up to 32Mb text with 8 IBATs:
16Mb + 8Mb + 4Mb + 2Mb + 1Mb + 512kb + 256kb + 128kb (+ 128kb) = 32Mb
(A 9th IBAT is unneeded as 32Mb would need only a single 32Mb block)

Aligning data to 4M allows to map up to 512Mb data with 8 DBATs:
16Mb + 8Mb + 4Mb + 4Mb + 32Mb + 64Mb + 128Mb + 256Mb = 512Mb

Because some processors only have 4 BATs and because some targets need
DBATs for mapping other areas, the following patch will allow to
modify _etext and data alignment.
