Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kernel: restrict /dev/mem read() calls to linear region
Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2017 09:26:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170412082606.17151-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
When running lscpu on an AArch64 system that has SMBIOS version 2.0
tables, it will segfault in the following way:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff8000bfff0000
pgd = ffff8000f9615000
[ffff8000bfff0000] *pgd=0000000000000000
Internal error: Oops: 96000007 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 1284 Comm: lscpu Not tainted 4.11.0-rc3+ #103
Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015
task: ffff8000fa78e800 task.stack: ffff8000f9780000
PC is at __arch_copy_to_user+0x90/0x220
LR is at read_mem+0xcc/0x140
This is caused by the fact that lspci issues a read() on /dev/mem at the
offset where it expects to find the SMBIOS structure array. However, this
region is classified as EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICE_DATA (as per the UEFI spec),
and so it is omitted from the linear mapping.
So let's restrict /dev/mem read/write access to those areas that are
covered by the linear region.

Fixes: 4dffbfc48d65 ("arm64/efi: mark UEFI reserved regions as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP")
