Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/mm/KASLR: Fix the wrong calculation of memory region initial size
Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2019 10:03:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190404020314.8162-2-bhe@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190404020314.8162-1-bhe@redhat.com>
In memory region KASLR, __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT is taken to calculate
the initial size of the direct mapping region. This is correct in
the old code where __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT was equal to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS,
46 bits, and only 4-level mode was supported.
Later, in commit:
b83ce5ee91471d ("x86/mm/64: Make __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT always 52"),
__PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT was changed to be always 52 bits, no matter it's
5-level or 4-level.
This is wrong for 4-level paging since it may cause randomness of KASLR
being greatly weakened in 4-level. For KASLR, we compare the sum of RAM
size and CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING with the size of the
max RAM which can be supported by system, then choose the bigger one as
the value to reserve space for the direct mapping region. The max RAM
supported in 4-level is 64 TB according to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. However,
here it's 4 PB in code to be compared with when __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT is
mistakenly used. E.g in a system owning 64 TB RAM, it will reserve 74 TB
(which is 64 TB plus CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING). In fact
it should reserve 64 TB according to the algorithm which is supposed to
do. Obviously the extra 10 TB space should be saved to join randomization.
So, here MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS should be used instead. Fix it by replacing
__PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
