x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules
This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by
splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts
each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each
individual section:
1. Code: RO+X
2. RO data: RO+NX
3. RW data: RW+NX
In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have
been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above
onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access
permissions are set right before successful exit from
load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have
been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right
before calling module_free().
By default, the original section layout and access flags are
preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y,
the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that
each page contains only one type of content and will enforce
RO/NX for each group of pages.
-v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch.
-v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs
and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also
been corrected.
-v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section
page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y.
-v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style.
-v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation
-v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only
-v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added
calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro()
in ftrace
-v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5
-v9: coding style fixes
-v10: more coding style fixes
-v11: minor adjustments for -tip
-v12: minor adjustments for v2.6.35-rc2-tip
-v13: minor adjustments for v2.6.37-rc1-tip
