[edk2-devel] [RFC PATCH 07/10] MdeModulePkg/PeiCore: Apply restricted permissions in image loader

Ard Biesheuvel ardb at kernel.org
Thu May 25 14:30:38 UTC 2023


Add a notification callback to the PEI core to grab a reference to the
memory attributes PPI as soon as it is registered, and use it in the
image loader to set restricted memory permissions after loading the
image if the image was loaded into memory.

There are two use cases for this:
- when the DXE IPL loads the DXE core using the PEI image services, its
  mappings will be set according to the PE section permission attributes
  if the image was built with 4k section alignment; this means DXE core
  will never run with mappings that are both writable and executable.
- when PEIMs are shadowed to memory, they will not only be mapped
  read-only, but any non-exec permissions will also be removed. (Note
  that this requires the component that installs PEI permanent memory to
  depex on the memory attributes PPI, to ensure that it is available to
  manage permissions on permanent memory before it is used to load
  images)

With this logic in place *, there is no longer a need for system memory
to be mapped with both write and execute permissions out of reset.
Instead, all memory can be mapped with non-executable permissions by
default, which means that the stack and other allocations used in PEI or
early in DXE will no longer need to be mapped non-exec explicitly.

* the DXE core will also need its own method for clearing non-exec
  permissions on memory ranges, but this is being addressed in a
  separate series.
