Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
6cb6982f42
This test is specific for arm64. When in-kernel Pointer Authentication config is enabled, the return address stored in the stack is signed. This feature helps in ROP kind of attack. If any parameters used to generate the pac (<key, sp, lr>) is modified then this will fail in the authentication stage and will lead to abort. This test changes the input parameter APIA kernel keys to cause abort. The pac computed from the new key can be same as last due to hash collision so this is retried for few times as there is no reliable way to compare the pacs. Even though this test may fail even after retries but this may cause authentication failure at a later stage in earlier function returns. This test can be invoked as, echo CORRUPT_PAC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT or as below if inserted as a module, insmod lkdtm.ko cpoint_name=DIRECT cpoint_type=CORRUPT_PAC cpoint_count=1 [ 13.118166] lkdtm: Performing direct entry CORRUPT_PAC [ 13.118298] lkdtm: Clearing PAC from the return address [ 13.118466] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bfff8000108648ec [ 13.118626] Mem abort info: [ 13.118666] ESR = 0x86000004 [ 13.118866] EC = 0x21: IABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 13.118966] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 13.119117] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Signed-off-by: Amit Daniel Kachhap <amit.kachhap@arm.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
