[edk2] [PATCH v2 0/4] Enable page table write protection
Posted by Jian J Wang 7 years ago

Write Protect feature (CR0.WP) is always enabled in driver UefiCpuPkg/CpuDxe.
But the memory pages used for page table are not set as read-only in the driver
DxeIplPeim, after the paging is setup. This might jeopardize the page table
integrity if there's buffer overflow occured in other part of system.

This patch series will change this situation by clearing R/W bit in page attribute
of the pages used as page table.

Validation works include booting Windows (10/server 2016) and Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu)
on OVMF and Intel real platform.

Recommend to not introduce the new header file and PCDs as new interfaces, but handle the page table pool separately in DxeIpl and CpuDxe.

That means we can't share page table pool between DxeIpl and CpuDxe. If this is
acceptable, I can remove them.

Posted by Yao, Jiewen 7 years ago
I do not suggest we define PAGE_TABLE_POOL_HEADER.
If we can figure out other way, that will be better.

Thank you

Re: [edk2] [PATCH v2 0/4] Enable page table write protection
Posted by Wang, Jian J 7 years ago
It's for sharing the pool between the DxeIpl and CpuDxe. If we don't care about 
wasting a little bit memory, it's ok to drop this definition. CpuDxe can reserve
a block of memory for page table for its own uses.

Re: [edk2] [PATCH v2 0/4] Enable page table write protection
Posted by Yao, Jiewen 7 years ago
Hi Jian
In V1 review, I suggest to test in UEFI shell env to make sure all page table is read only, with PageTable split in CPU driver.

May I know if that is done?

Thank you
Yao Jiewen

Re: [edk2] [PATCH v2 0/4] Enable page table write protection
Posted by Wang, Jian J 7 years ago
I haven't got time to do it in automatic way. V1 may need a shell app to
check it, but current implementation might not need it because we now
have 2 or 3 continuous 2MB pages to hold all page tables. We just
need to verify the page attribute of those 2 or 3 page tables. It's easy
to do it in a JTAG debugger manually.
