[PATCH v5 2/2] arm64: mm: code and data allocation partitioning

Maxwell Bland mbland at motorola.com
Thu May 9 11:27:17 PDT 2024


Introduce a new Kconfig ARM64_FORCE_CODE_PARTITIONING which uses new
vmalloc infrastructure to prevent interleaving code and data pages,
working to both maintain compatible management assumptions made by
non-arch-specific code and make management of these regions more
precise.

For now, it restricts the additional BPF allocations to +SZ_2G beyond
the modules region. This is assumed to be more than enough for cases
where enabling this config are acceptable.

This will allow, for example, the maintenance of PXNTable bits on
dynamically allocated memory or the immutability of certain page middle
directory and higher level descriptors.

For this purpose, move module_init_limits to setup.c, a more appropriate
place since it is an initialization routine, and as a result, move
module_plt_base and module_direct_base to module.h and provide
appropriate "getter" methods.

The two existing code allocation calls for BPF and kprobes now check
the CONFIG option on whether to allocate from the modules memory region,
ensuring they no longer pollute data memory. This ensures regression
compatibility with the decision to loosen allocation restrictions for
VM support from 1636131046-5982-2-git-send-email-alan.maguire at oracle.com

This will make code ensuring the self-patching interface cannot be used
to modify data and data interfaces cannot be used to modify code more
performant.

Add in a mm/vmalloc.c file to perform the appropriate vmalloc_init
callbacks required to ensure segmentation of the virtual memory space.
