[RFC PATCH v2 0/5] physmem: Have flaview API check bus permission from M


From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé
Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/5] physmem: Have flaview API check bus permission from MemTxAttrs argument
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:41:52 +0200

This series aim to kill a recent class of bug, the infamous
"DMA reentrancy" issues found by Alexander while fuzzing.

Introduce the 'bus_perm' field in MemTxAttrs, defining 3 bits:

- MEMTXPERM_UNSPECIFIED (current default, unchanged behavior)
- MEMTXPERM_UNRESTRICTED (allow list approach)
- MEMTXPERM_RAM_DEVICE (example of deny list approach)

If a transaction permission is not allowed (for example access
to non-RAM device), we return the specific MEMTX_BUS_ERROR.

Permissions are checked in after the flatview is resolved, and
before the access is done, in a new function: flatview_access_allowed().

I'll post another series on top as example, fixing the SD card
bugs.

Since v1 ("hw: Forbid DMA write accesses to MMIO regions") [1]:
- rewrite based on Peter / Stefan feedbacks

Based on "hw: Let the DMA API take a MemTxAttrs argument" [2].
