From 07fa619f2a40c221ea27747a3323cabc59ab25eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2024 15:05:07 +0000 Subject: x86/kexec: Restore GDT on return from ::preserve_context kexec The restore_processor_state() function explicitly states that "the asm code that gets us here will have restored a usable GDT". That wasn't true in the case of returning from a ::preserve_context kexec. Make it so. Without this, the kernel was depending on the called function to reload a GDT which is appropriate for the kernel before returning. Test program: #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include int main (void) { struct kexec_segment segment = {}; unsigned char purgatory[] = { 0x66, 0xba, 0xf8, 0x03, // mov $0x3f8, %dx 0xb0, 0x42, // mov $0x42, %al 0xee, // outb %al, (%dx) 0xc3, // ret }; int ret; segment.buf = &purgatory; segment.bufsz = sizeof(purgatory); segment.mem = (void *)0x400000; segment.memsz = 0x1000; ret = syscall(__NR_kexec_load, 0x400000, 1, &segment, KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT); if (ret) { perror("kexec_load"); exit(1); } ret = syscall(__NR_reboot, LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC1, LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC2, LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_KEXEC); if (ret) { perror("kexec reboot"); exit(1); } printf("Success\n"); return 0; } Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241205153343.3275139-2-dwmw2@infradead.org --- arch/x86/kernel/relocate_kernel_64.S | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/relocate_kernel_64.S b/arch/x86/kernel/relocate_kernel_64.S index e9e88c342f75..1236f25fc8d1 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/relocate_kernel_64.S +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/relocate_kernel_64.S @@ -242,6 +242,13 @@ SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN(virtual_mapped) movq CR0(%r8), %r8 movq %rax, %cr3 movq %r8, %cr0 + +#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP + /* Saved in save_processor_state. */ + movq $saved_context, %rax + lgdt saved_context_gdt_desc(%rax) +#endif + movq %rbp, %rax popf -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
