Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/kmsan: Fix CPU entry area metadata lookup
Date: Tue, 06 Oct 2026 21:10:22 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006-kmsan-serie-v1-1-07fa860ef3de@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006-kmsan-serie-v1-0-07fa860ef3de@gmail.com>

From: Viorel Cernateanu <vrilutza@gmail.com>

arch_kmsan_get_meta_or_null() works out which CPU owns an address in the
CPU entry area as (addr - CPU_ENTRY_AREA_BASE) / CPU_ENTRY_AREA_SIZE.
That is wrong in two ways:

 - With KASLR, init_cea_offsets() puts each CPU's area in a random slot,
   so the result is a slot number, usually far above NR_CPUS, and
   get_cpu_entry_area() reads past the end of __per_cpu_offset[].

 - The per-CPU areas start one page higher, at CPU_ENTRY_AREA_PER_CPU.
   Even without KASLR, the last page of each area is attributed to the
   next CPU, so KMSAN loses that page, and for the last CPU the lookup
   uses a CPU that does not exist.

On an Ivy Bridge laptop, a KMSAN kernel with KASLR oopses at boot when
the hard lockup detector sets up its perf event. In QEMU, a module that
reads one byte of the current CPU's GDT alias hits the same bug:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/mm/cpu_entry_area.c:25:9
  index 2100006 is out of range for type 'unsigned long[64]'
  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
  RIP: 0010:get_cpu_entry_area+0x14/0x50
  Call Trace:
   kmsan_get_metadata+0xb2/0x150
   kmsan_get_shadow_origin_ptr+0x31/0xa0
   __msan_metadata_ptr_for_load_1+0x22/0x40
   init_module+0x139/0xff0 [cea_repro]

Find the CPU whose entry area contains the address instead.

Fixes: 97e3d26b5e5f ("x86/mm: Randomize per-cpu entry area")
