Subject: [PATCH v3 2/7] uaccess: Tell user_access_begin() if it's for a write or not

On 32 bits powerPC (book3s/32), only write accesses to user are
protected and there is no point spending time on unlocking for reads.

On 64 bits powerpc (book3s/64 at least), access can be granted
read only, write only or read/write.

Add an argument to user_access_begin() to tell when it's for write and
return an opaque key that will be used by user_access_end() to know
what was done by user_access_begin().

IMHO an opaque key is a prime example of a case where the use of an
opaque typedef is warranted. Nobody needs to know or care it's
specifically an unsigned long.

Honestly, I'm starting to think that 32-bit ppc just needs to look
more like everybody else, than make these changes.

We used to have a read/write argument to the old "verify_area()" and
"access_ok()" model, and it was a mistake. It was due to odd i386 user
access issues. We got rid of it. I'm not convinced this is any better
- it looks very similar and for odd ppc access issues.

But if we really do want to do this, then:

You should make it more opaque than "unsigned long".

Also, it shouldn't be a "is this a write". What if it's a read _and_ a
write? Only a write? Only a read?

Well, beside ppc32, I was also seen it as an opportunity for the modern
ppc64. On it, you can unlock either read or write or both. And this is
what is done for get_user() / put_user() and friends: unlock only reads
for get_user() and only writes for put_user().

Could also be a compromise between performance and security: keeping
reads allowed at all time and only protect against writes on modern
architectures which support it like ppc64.

I'm going to leave it aside, at least for the time being, and do it as a
second step later after evaluating the real performance impact. I'll
respin tomorrow in that way.

Indeed I took the idea from a discussion in last Octobre (Subject:

Indeed that was more: does it includes a write. It's either RO or RW

Ok, good.

From a "narrow the access window type" standpoint it does seem to be a
good idea to specify what kind of user accesses will be done, so I
don't hate the idea, it's more that I'm not convinced it matters
enough.

On x86, we have made the rule that user_access_begin/end() can contain
_very_ few operations, and objtool really does enforce that. With
objtool and KASAN, you really end up with very small ranges of
user_access_begin/end().

And since we actually verify it statically on x86-64, I would say that
the added benefit of narrowing by access type is fairly small. We're
not going to have complicated code in that user access region, at
least in generic code.

I would expect that most actual users would be RO or WO, so it's a bit
odd to have those choices.

Of course, often writing ends up requiring read permissions anyway if
the architecture has problems with alignment handling or similar, but
still... The real RW case does exist conceptually (we have
"copy_in_user()", after all), but still feels like it shouldn't be
seen as the only _interface_ choice.

IOW, an architecture may decide to turn WO into RW because of
architecture limitations (or, like x86 and arm, ignore the whole
RO/RW/WO _entirely_ because there's just a single "allow user space
accesses" flag), but on an interface layer if we add this flag, I
really think it should be an explicit "read or write or both".

So thus my "let's try to avoid doing it in the first place, but if we
_do_ do this, then do it right" plea.

I'm wondering if we should make it a static part of the API instead of a variable.

I have *deep* concern with carrying state in a "key" variable: it's a direct attack vector for a crowbar attack, especially since it is by definition live inside a user access region.

One major reason x86 restricts the regions like this is to minimize the amount of unconstrained state: we don't save and restore the state around, but enter and exit unconditionally, which means that a leaked state will end up having a limited lifespan. Nor is there any state inside the user access region which could be corrupted to leave the region open.

If the mode (read or write) were made visible to the trap handler, I'd
find that useful for machine check recovery. If I'm in the middle of a
copy_from_user() and I get a machine check reading poison from a
user address ... then I could try to recover in the same way as for the
user accessing the poison (offline the page, SIGBUS the task). But if
the poison is in kernel memory and we are doing a copy_to_user(), then
we are hosed (or would need some more complex recovery plan).

[Note that we only get recoverable machine checks on loads... writes
are posted, so if something goes wrong it isn't synchronous with the store
instruction that initiated it]
