From 30d3389d80eb0c6d2a49ffa07c8fd1eec5a49873 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philip Derrin Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2017 00:55:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 8721/1: mm: dump: check hardware RO bit for LPAE commit 3b0c0c922ff4be275a8beb87ce5657d16f355b54 upstream. When CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set, the PMD dump relies on the software read-only bit to determine whether a page is writable. This concealed a bug which left the kernel text section writable (AP2=0) while marked read-only in the software bit. In a kernel with the AP2 bug, the dump looks like this: ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0xc0000000-0xc0200000 2M RW NX SHD 0xc0200000-0xc0600000 4M ro x SHD 0xc0600000-0xc0800000 2M ro NX SHD 0xc0800000-0xc4800000 64M RW NX SHD The fix is to check that the software and hardware bits are both set before displaying "ro". The dump then shows the true perms: ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0xc0000000-0xc0200000 2M RW NX SHD 0xc0200000-0xc0600000 4M RW x SHD 0xc0600000-0xc0800000 2M RW NX SHD 0xc0800000-0xc4800000 64M RW NX SHD Fixes: ded947798469 ("ARM: 8109/1: mm: Modify pte_write and pmd_write logic for LPAE") Signed-off-by: Philip Derrin Tested-by: Neil Dick Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- arch/arm/mm/dump.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/mm/dump.c b/arch/arm/mm/dump.c index 35ff45470dbf..fc3b44028cfb 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mm/dump.c +++ b/arch/arm/mm/dump.c @@ -129,8 +129,8 @@ static const struct prot_bits section_bits[] = { .val = PMD_SECT_USER, .set = "USR", }, { - .mask = L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY, - .val = L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY, + .mask = L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY | PMD_SECT_AP2, + .val = L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY | PMD_SECT_AP2, .set = "ro", .clear = "RW", #elif __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6 -- 2.20.1
