lkdtm: Add CFI_BACKWARD to test ROP mitigations
In order to test various backward-edge control flow integrity methods, add a test that manipulates the return address on the stack. Currently only arm64 Pointer Authentication and Shadow Call Stack is supported. $ echo CFI_BACKWARD | cat >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT Under SCS, successful test of the mitigation is reported as: lkdtm: Performing direct entry CFI_BACKWARD lkdtm: Attempting unchecked stack return address redirection ... lkdtm: ok: redirected stack return address. lkdtm: Attempting checked stack return address redirection ... lkdtm: ok: control flow unchanged. Under PAC, successful test of the mitigation is reported by the PAC exception handler: lkdtm: Performing direct entry CFI_BACKWARD lkdtm: Attempting unchecked stack return address redirection ... lkdtm: ok: redirected stack return address. lkdtm: Attempting checked stack return address redirection ... Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bfffffc0088d0514 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x86000004 EC = 0x21: IABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault [bfffffc0088d0514] address between user and kernel address ranges ... If the CONFIGs are missing (or the mitigation isn't working), failure is reported as: lkdtm: Performing direct entry CFI_BACKWARD lkdtm: Attempting unchecked stack return address redirection ... lkdtm: ok: redirected stack return address. lkdtm: Attempting checked stack return address redirection ... lkdtm: FAIL: stack return address was redirected! lkdtm: This is probably expected, since this kernel was built *without* CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH_KERNEL=y nor CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK=y Co-developed-by: Dan Li <ashimida@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Li <ashimida@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220416001103.1524653-1-keescook@chromium.org
