[PATCH 1/1] selftests/x86: add "ffff8" -- kernel memory scanner

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Fri Oct 28 2022 - 15:09:19 EST


During Meltdown drama Microsoft managed to screw up pagetables and give
full kernel memory access to userspace:

https://blog.frizk.net/2018/03/total-meltdown.html

We don't want _any_ of that.

This utility named ffff8 tries to read upper half of virtual address space
and report access that went through (excluding vsyscall page if present).

It works by doing access and rewriting RDI in the SIGSEGV handler
which will fault again upon exiting.

I've tested it with kernel patch which installs rogue page vsyscall style
and the test found it:

$ ./ffff8_64 -f -s 32
g_mask ffffffff00000000
vsyscall 1
N 2 threads
thread 0, cpu 0: min ffffffff00000000, max ffffffff80000000, seed 000000000180f050 0000000000000000
thread 1, cpu 1: min ffffffff80000000, max 0000000000000000, seed 000000000180f078 0000000000000000
thread 1, cpu 1: error: kernel memory read at ffffffffff602000

Usage:

$ ./ffff8_64 -h
usage: ./ffff8_64 [-f] [-r] [-n N] [-s S] [-t T]
-f: sequential scan
-r: random scan (default)
-n: use N threads (default: $(nproc))
-s: lowest address shift (default: 47)
-t: time to run (default: 4 seconds)

Intended usage is:

$ ./ffff8_64 -f # full scan on all cores
or
$ ./ffff8_64 -r -t ... # time limited random scan

Features include:
* multithreading
* auto spreads over CPUs allowed by taskset
* full address space scan (sequential)
* random scan (fully deterministic)
* auto split work in full scan mode
* smaller than 47/56-bit scanning (for benchmarking)
* time limit
* LA57 support

Note 1:
Both HT and many cores appear to make scanning slower due to ->mmap_lock
contention. If this is the case use taskset(1) to run on a few cores only.

Note 2:
Full 47-bit, let alone 56-bit, window scan takes a long time.
Benchmark with smaller shifts first before attempting full scan.

v3: default to 4 seconds for random scan
