This patch introduces our implementation of KAISER (Kernel Address Isolation to have Side-channels Efficiently Removed), a kernel isolation technique to close hardware side channels on kernel address information. More information about the patch can be found on: https://github.com/IAIK/KAISER From: Richard Fellner <richard.fellner@student.tugraz.at> From: Daniel Gruss <daniel.gruss@iaik.tugraz.at> X-Subject: [RFC, PATCH] x86_64: KAISER - do not map kernel in user mode Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 14:26:50 +0200 Link: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=149390087310405&w=2 Kaiser-4.10-SHA1: c4b1831d44c6144d3762ccc72f0c4e71a0c713e5 To: <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org> To: <kernel-hardening@lists.openwall.com> Cc: <clementine.maurice@iaik.tugraz.at> Cc: <moritz.lipp@iaik.tugraz.at> Cc: Michael Schwarz <michael.schwarz@iaik.tugraz.at> Cc: Richard Fellner <richard.fellner@student.tugraz.at> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> Cc: <anders.fogh@gdata-adan.de> After several recent works [1,2,3] KASLR on x86_64 was basically considered dead by many researchers. We have been working on an efficient but effective fix for this problem and found that not mapping the kernel space when running in user mode is the solution to this problem [4] (the corresponding paper [5] will be presented at ESSoS17). With this RFC patch we allow anybody to configure their kernel with the flag CONFIG_KAISER to add our defense mechanism. If there are any questions we would love to answer them. We also appreciate any comments!

config INTEL_TXT

bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
|
|
depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
|
|
help
|
|
This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
|
|
Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
|
|
Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
|
|
of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
|
|
will have no effect.
|
|
|
|
Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
|
|
initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
|
|
create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
|
|
helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
|
|
correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
|
|
of the kernel itself.
|
|
|
|
Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
|
|
confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
|
|
it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
|
|
providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
|
|
|
|
See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
|
|
about Intel(R) TXT.
|
|
See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
|
|
See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
|
|
Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.

config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR

depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX

default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT)
|
|
default 65536
|
|
help
|
|
This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
|
|
from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
|
|
can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
|
|
|
|
For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
|
|
a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
|
|
On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
|
|
Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
|
|
this low address space will need the permission specific to the
|
|
systems running LSM.
