Christoph Hellwig 06ec64b84c Kconfig: consolidate the "Kernel hacking" menu
Move the source of lib/Kconfig.debug and arch/$(ARCH)/Kconfig.debug to
the top-level Kconfig.  For two architectures that means moving their
arch-specific symbols in that menu into a new arch Kconfig.debug file,
and for a few more creating a dummy file so that we can include it
unconditionally.

Also move the actual 'Kernel hacking' menu to lib/Kconfig.debug, where
it belongs.

Ard Biesheuvel 757b435aaa efi: arm64: Add vmlinux debug link to the Image binary
When building with debugging symbols, take the absolute path to the
vmlinux binary and add it to the special PE/COFF debug table entry.
This allows a debug EFI build to find the vmlinux binary, which is
very helpful in debugging, given that the offset where the Image is
first loaded by EFI is highly unpredictable.

On implementations of UEFI that choose to implement it, this
information is exposed via the EFI debug support table, which is a UEFI
configuration table that is accessible both by the firmware at boot time
and by the OS at runtime, and lists all PE/COFF images loaded by the
system.

The format of the NB10 Codeview entry is based on the definition used
by EDK2, which is our primary reference when it comes to the use of
PE/COFF in the context of UEFI firmware.

Mark Rutland 40982fd6b9 arm64: always enable DEBUG_RODATA and remove the Kconfig option
Follow the example set by x86 in commit 9ccaf77cf0 ("x86/mm:
Always enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and remove the Kconfig option"), and
make these protections a fundamental security feature rather than an
opt-in. This also results in a minor code simplification.

For those rare cases when users wish to disable this protection (e.g.
for debugging), this can be done by passing 'rodata=off' on the command
line.

As DEBUG_RODATA_ALIGN is only intended to address a performance/memory
tradeoff, and does not affect correctness, this is left user-selectable.
DEBUG_MODULE_RONX is also left user-selectable until the core code
provides a boot-time option to disable the protection for debugging
use-cases.

Mark Rutland 604c8e676e arm64: enable CONFIG_SET_MODULE_RONX by default
The SET_MODULE_RONX protections are effectively the same as the
DEBUG_RODATA protections we enabled by default back in commit
57efac2f71 ("arm64: enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA by default"). It
seems unusual to have one but not the other.

As evidenced by the help text, the rationale appears to be that
SET_MODULE_RONX interacts poorly with tracing and patching, but both of
these make use of the insn framework, which takes SET_MODULE_RONX into
account. Any remaining issues are bugs which should be fixed regardless
of the default state of the option.

This patch enables DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX by default, and replaces the
help text with a new wording derived from the DEBUG_RODATA help text,
which better describes the functionality. Previously, the DEBUG_RODATA
entry was inconsistently indented with spaces, which are replaced with
tabs as with the other Kconfig entries.

Additionally, the wording of recommended defaults is made consistent for
all options. These are placed in a new paragraph, unquoted, as a full
sentence (with a period/full stop) as this appears to be the most common
form per $(git grep 'in doubt').

Ard Biesheuvel 97740051dd arm64: simplify kernel segment mapping granularity
The mapping of the kernel consist of four segments, each of which is mapped
with different permission attributes and/or lifetimes. To optimize the TLB
and translation table footprint, we define various opaque constants in the
linker script that resolve to different aligment values depending on the
page size and whether CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set.

Considering that
- a 4 KB granule kernel benefits from a 64 KB segment alignment (due to
  the fact that it allows the use of the contiguous bit),
- the minimum alignment of the .data segment is THREAD_SIZE already, not
  PAGE_SIZE (i.e., we already have padding between _data and the start of
  the .data payload in many cases),
- 2 MB is a suitable alignment value on all granule sizes, either for
  mapping directly (level 2 on 4 KB), or via the contiguous bit (level 3 on
  16 KB and 64 KB),
- anything beyond 2 MB exceeds the minimum alignment mandated by the boot
  protocol, and can only be mapped efficiently if the physical alignment
  happens to be the same,

we can simplify this by standardizing on 64 KB (or 2 MB) explicitly, i.e.,
regardless of granule size, all segments are aligned either to 64 KB, or to
2 MB if CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y. This also means we can drop the Kconfig
dependency of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA on CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES.

Ard Biesheuvel 57efac2f71 arm64: enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA by default
In spite of its name, CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is an important hardening feature
for production kernels, and distros all enable it by default in their
kernel configs. However, since enabling it used to result in more granular,
and thus less efficient kernel mappings, it is not enabled by default for
performance reasons.

However, since commit 2f39b5f91e ("arm64: mm: Mark .rodata as RO"), the
various kernel segments (.text, .rodata, .init and .data) are already
mapped individually, and the only effect of setting CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is
that the existing .text and .rodata mappings are updated late in the boot
sequence to have their read-only attributes set, which means that any
performance concerns related to enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA are no longer
valid.

So from now on, make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA default to 'y'

Laura Abbott da141706ae arm64: add better page protections to arm64
Add page protections for arm64 similar to those in arm.
This is for security reasons to prevent certain classes
of exploits. The current method:

- Map all memory as either RWX or RW. We round to the nearest
  section to avoid creating page tables before everything is mapped
- Once everything is mapped, if either end of the RWX section should
  not be X, we split the PMD and remap as necessary
- When initmem is to be freed, we change the permissions back to
  RW (using stop machine if necessary to flush the TLB)
- If CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, the read only sections are set
  read only.

Mark Rutland da57a369d3 arm64: Enable TEXT_OFFSET fuzzing
The arm64 Image header contains a text_offset field which bootloaders
are supposed to read to determine the offset (from a 2MB aligned "start
of memory" per booting.txt) at which to load the kernel. The offset is
not well respected by bootloaders at present, and due to the lack of
variation there is little incentive to support it. This is unfortunate
for the sake of future kernels where we may wish to vary the text offset
(even zeroing it).

This patch adds options to arm64 to enable fuzz-testing of text_offset.
CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET forces the text offset to a random
16-byte aligned value value in the range [0..2MB) upon a build of the
kernel. It is recommended that distribution kernels enable randomization
to test bootloaders such that any compliance issues can be fixed early.

Catalin Marinas 2475ff9d2c arm64: Add simple earlyprintk support
This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel
command line. The format is:

  earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>]

where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is
the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used.

The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel
boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A
special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from
the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the
kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is
pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot.

Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface
is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.
