Part of the memory (first 512kbytes) was # mapped with BATs instead of page table, but it was also entirely # mapped as executable. # # In commit 385e89d5b20f ("powerpc/mm: add exec protection on # powerpc 603"), we started adding exec protection to some 6xx, namely # the 603, for pages mapped via pagetables. # # Then, in commit 63b2bc619565 ("powerpc/mm/32s: Use BATs for # STRICT_KERNEL_RWX"), the exec protection was extended to BAT mapped # memory, so that really only the kernel text could be executed. # # The problem here is that kexec is based on copying some code into # upper part of memory then executing it from there in order to install # a fresh new kernel at its definitive location. # # However, the code is position independant and first part of it is # just there to deactivate the MMU and jump to the second part. So it # is possible to run this first part inplace instead of running the # copy. Once the MMU is off, there is no protection anymore and the # second part of the code will just run as before. # # Reported-by: Aaro Koskinen # Fixes: 63b2bc619565 ("powerpc/mm/32s: Use BATs for STRICT_KERNEL_RWX") # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy # Tested-by: Aaro Koskinen # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 c14cbef0319d21339a76247c3061230ae2950a7c # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_44x_sequoia_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- 44x/sequoia_defconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_44x_sequoia_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- INFO: Uncompressed kernel (size 0x48bb84) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000) INFO: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0x500000) Image Name: Linux-5.2.0-rc2-gc14cbef0319d Created: Fri Jun 7 02:14:57 2019 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 2330209 Bytes = 2275.59 KiB = 2.22 MiB Load Address: 00500000 Entry Point: 00501534 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_44x_sequoia_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:00:33.685340
