21 * User-Mode Instruction Prevention is a security feature present in recent
22 * x86 processors that, when enabled, prevents a group of instructions (SGDT,
23 * SIDT, SLDT, SMSW and STR) from being run in user mode by issuing a general
24 * protection fault if the instruction is executed with CPL > 0.
26 * Rather than relaying to the user space the general protection fault caused by
27 * the UMIP-protected instructions (in the form of a SIGSEGV signal), it can be
28 * trapped and emulate the result of such instructions to provide dummy values.
29 * This allows to both conserve the current kernel behavior and not reveal the
30 * system resources that UMIP intends to protect (i.e., the locations of the
31 * global descriptor and interrupt descriptor tables, the segment selectors of
32 * the local descriptor table, the value of the task state register and the
33 * contents of the CR0 register).
35 * This emulation is needed because certain applications (e.g., WineHQ and
36 * DOSEMU2) rely on this subset of instructions to function.
38 * The instructions protected by UMIP can be split in two groups. Those which
39 * return a kernel memory address (SGDT and SIDT) and those which return a
40 * value (SLDT, STR and SMSW).
42 * For the instructions that return a kernel memory address, applications
43 * such as WineHQ rely on the result being located in the kernel memory space,
44 * not the actual location of the table. The result is emulated as a hard-coded
45 * value that, lies close to the top of the kernel memory. The limit for the GDT
46 * and the IDT are set to zero.
48 * Given that SLDT and STR are not commonly used in programs that run on WineHQ
49 * or DOSEMU2, they are not emulated.
51 * The instruction smsw is emulated to return the value that the register CR0
52 * has at boot time as set in the head_32.
54 * Emulation is provided for both 32-bit and 64-bit processes.
56 * Care is taken to appropriately emulate the results when segmentation is
57 * used. That is, rather than relying on USER_DS and USER_CS, the function
58 * insn_get_addr_ref() inspects the segment descriptor pointed by the
59 * registers in pt_regs. This ensures that we correctly obtain the segment
60 * base address and the address and operand sizes even if the user space
61 * application uses a local descriptor table.
64 #define UMIP_DUMMY_GDT_BASE 0xfffffffffffe0000ULL
65 #define UMIP_DUMMY_IDT_BASE 0xffffffffffff0000ULL
68 * The SGDT and SIDT instructions store the contents of the global descriptor
69 * table and interrupt table registers, respectively. The destination is a
70 * memory operand of X+2 bytes. X bytes are used to store the base address of
71 * the table and 2 bytes are used to store the limit. In 32-bit processes X
72 * has a value of 4, in 64-bit processes X has a value of 8.
