x86: alternatives : fix LOCK_PREFIX race with preemptible kernel and CPU hotplug
If a kernel thread is preempted in single-cpu mode right after the NOP (nop
about to be turned into a lock prefix), then we CPU hotplug a CPU, and then the
thread is scheduled back again, a SMP-unsafe atomic operation will be used on
shared SMP variables, leading to corruption. No corruption would happen in the
reverse case : going from SMP to UP is ok because we split a bit instruction
into tiny pieces, which does not present this condition.
Changing the 0x90 (single-byte nop) currently used into a 0x3E DS segment
override prefix should fix this issue. Since the default of the atomic
instructions is to use the DS segment anyway, it should not affect the
behavior.
The exception to this are references that use ESP/RSP and EBP/RBP as
the base register (they will use the SS segment), however, in Linux

x86: alternatives : fix LOCK_PREFIX race with preemptible kernel and CPU hotplug
If a kernel thread is preempted in single-cpu mode right after the NOP (nop
about to be turned into a lock prefix), then we CPU hotplug a CPU, and then the
thread is scheduled back again, a SMP-unsafe atomic operation will be used on
shared SMP variables, leading to corruption. No corruption would happen in the
reverse case : going from SMP to UP is ok because we split a bit instruction
into tiny pieces, which does not present this condition.
Changing the 0x90 (single-byte nop) currently used into a 0x3E DS segment
override prefix should fix this issue. Since the default of the atomic
instructions is to use the DS segment anyway, it should not affect the
behavior.
The exception to this are references that use ESP/RSP and EBP/RBP as
the base register (they will use the SS segment), however, in Linux
(a) DS == SS at all times, and (b) we do not distinguish between
segment violations reported as #SS as opposed to #GP, so there is no
need to disassemble the instruction to figure out the suitable segment.
This patch assumes that the 0x3E prefix will leave atomic operations as-is (thus
assuming they normally touch data in the DS segment). Since there seem to be no
obvious ill-use of other segment override prefixes for atomic operations, it
should be safe. It can be verified with a quick
grep -r LOCK_PREFIX include/asm-x86/
grep -A 1 -r LOCK_PREFIX arch/x86/

Yes, but in the meantime, the x86 tree would need this patch to make
kprobes work correctly on modules.
I suspect that without this fix, with the enhanced hotplug and kprobes
patch, kprobes will use text_poke to insert breakpoints in modules
(vmalloced pages used), which will map the wrong pages and corrupt
random kernel locations instead of updating the correct page.
Work that would write protect the module pages should clearly be done,
but it can come in a later time. We have to make sure we interact
correctly with the page allocation debugging, as an example.
Here is the patch against x86.git 2.6.25-rc5 :
The shadow vmap for DEBUG_RODATA kernel text modification uses virt_to_page to
get the pages from the pointer address.
However, I think vmalloc_to_page would be required in case the page is used for
modules.
Since only the core kernel text is marked read-only, use kernel_text_address()
to make sure we only shadow map the core kernel text, not modules.
