Imagine an mmap()'d file. Two threads touch the same address at the same time and fault. Both allocate a physical page and race to install a PTE for that page. Only one will win the race. The loser frees its page, but still continues handling the fault as a success and returns VM_FAULT_NOPAGE from the fault handler.
The same race can happen with SGX. But there's a bug: the loser in the SGX steers into a failure path. The loser EREMOVE's the winner's EPC page, then returns SIGBUS, likely killing the app.
Fix the SGX loser's behavior. Check whether another thread already allocated the page and if yes, return with VM_FAULT_NOPAGE.
The race can be illustrated as follows:
/* /* * Fault on CPU1 * Fault on CPU2 * on enclave page X * on enclave page X */ */ sgx_vma_fault() { sgx_vma_fault() {
xa_load(&encl->page_array) xa_load(&encl->page_array) == NULL --> == NULL -->
sgx_encl_eaug_page() { sgx_encl_eaug_page() {
... ...
/* /* * alloc encl_page * alloc encl_page */ */ mutex_lock(&encl->lock); /* * alloc EPC page */ epc_page = sgx_alloc_epc_page(...); /* * add page to enclave's xarray */ xa_insert(&encl->page_array, ...); /* * add page to enclave via EAUG * (page is in pending state) */ /* * add PTE entry */ vmf_insert_pfn(...);
mutex_unlock(&encl->lock); return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE; } } /* * All good up to here: enclave page * successfully added to enclave, * ready for EACCEPT from user space */ mutex_lock(&encl->lock); /* * alloc EPC page */ epc_page = sgx_alloc_epc_page(...); /* * add page to enclave's xarray, * this fails with -EBUSY as this * page was already added by CPU2 */ xa_insert(&encl->page_array, ...);
err_out_shrink: sgx_encl_free_epc_page(epc_page) { /* * remove page via EREMOVE * * *BUG*: page added by CPU2 is * yanked from enclave while it * remains accessible from OS * perspective (PTE installed) */ /* * free EPC page */ sgx_free_epc_page(epc_page); }
mutex_unlock(&encl->lock); /* * *BUG*: SIGBUS is returned * for a valid enclave page */ return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS; } }
