Hi Daniel,

Hi Christophe,

I've been attempting to port this to 64-bit Book3e nohash (e6500),
although I think I've ended up with an approach more similar to Aneesh's
much earlier (2015) series for book3s.

Part of this is just due to the changes between 32 and 64 bits - we need
to hack around the discontiguous mappings - but one thing that I'm
particularly puzzled by is what the kasan_early_init is supposed to do.

It should be a problem as my patch uses a 'for_each_memblock(memory, reg)' loop.


+void __init kasan_early_init(void)
+{
+ unsigned long addr = KASAN_SHADOW_START;
+ unsigned long end = KASAN_SHADOW_END;
+ unsigned long next;
+ pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud_offset(pgd_offset_k(addr), addr), addr);
+ int i;
+ phys_addr_t pa = __pa(kasan_early_shadow_page);
+
+ BUILD_BUG_ON(KASAN_SHADOW_START & ~PGDIR_MASK);
+
+ if (early_mmu_has_feature(MMU_FTR_HPTE_TABLE))
+ panic("KASAN not supported with Hash MMU\n");
+
+ for (i = 0; i < PTRS_PER_PTE; i++)
+ __set_pte_at(&init_mm, (unsigned long)kasan_early_shadow_page,
+ kasan_early_shadow_pte + i,
+ pfn_pte(PHYS_PFN(pa), PAGE_KERNEL_RO), 0);
+
+ do {
+ next = pgd_addr_end(addr, end);
+ pmd_populate_kernel(&init_mm, pmd, kasan_early_shadow_pte);
+ } while (pmd++, addr = next, addr != end);
+}

As far as I can tell it's mapping the early shadow page, read-only, over
the KASAN_SHADOW_START->KASAN_SHADOW_END range, and it's using the early
shadow PTE array from the generic code.

I haven't been able to find an answer to why this is in the docs, so I
was wondering if you or anyone else could explain the early part of
kasan init a bit better.

See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kasan.html for an explanation of the shadow.

When shadow is 0, it means the memory area is entirely accessible.

It is necessary to setup a shadow area as soon as possible because all data accesses check the shadow area, from the begining (except for a few files where sanitizing has been disabled in Makefiles).

Until the real shadow area is set, all access are granted thanks to the zero shadow area beeing for of zeros.

I mainly used ARM arch as an exemple when I implemented KASAN for ppc32.


At the moment, I don't do any early init, and like Aneesh's series for
book3s, I end up needing a special flag to disable kasan until after
kasan_init. Also, as with Balbir's seris for Radix, some tests didn't
fire, although my missing tests are a superset of his. I suspect the
early init has something to do with these...?

I think you should really focus on establishing a zero shadow area as early as possible instead of trying to ack the core parts of KASAN.


(I'm happy to collate answers into a patch to the docs, btw!)

We can also have the discussion going via https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/106


In the long term I hope to revive Aneesh's and Balbir's series for hash
and radix as well.

Great.

Christophe
