Linode Xen 下 grsecurity >= 4.3 崩溃问题
(编辑：jimmy 日期: 2024/11/14 浏览：3 次 )
自从 Linux 4.3 开始，在 Linode 上使用 PaX/grsecurity 时，内核会在被 pv-grub 执行后不久立即崩溃。由于崩溃是在启动后极早期立刻发生的，没有任何可以用来调试的日志，同时公司也不是盖子开的，也没有办法得到母机上有意义的调试信息。这导致了盖子的 VPS 内核从去年 12 月开始被锁定在 4.2.7。由于不知什么时候产生了 Linode 东京机房会在 2016 年 6 月从 Xen 迁移到 KVM 的错觉，也没有花精力去尝试调试这个问题。
然而今年 Linode 周年庆时硬件全部翻倍，惟独东京机房除外。而根据官方最新的说法，新机房乐观估计要第四季度上线。解决内核问题就不得不提上了盖子的日程，首先是手工修复了不少 CVE 高危漏洞，随后又祭出 diff 折腾半天，内核始终会在启动后立刻死亡。而由于 grsecurity 并不提供 git 源，所以 git bisect 也是不可能的，唯一可用的工具只有 Linux 4.2.7 / 补丁文件，与 Linux 4.3.3 / 补丁文件。
在阅读代码差异时，一个很大的挑战是如何区分上游内核的修改与下游 PaX/grsecurity 补丁的修改。直接比较补丁文件会导致代码上下文丢失，让代码的意图不可理解。最后盖子打算编写一个名为 metadiff 的工具，自动比较并去除在上游中出现的代码段，以便仅仅对 PaX/grsecurity 的代码进行比较，就连名字都想好了就叫 metadiff ，但一直没有动手。
直到上个月和 Shawn 聊天时，提到了自己装个 Xen 也不是不可行；于是周六终于动手在 VirutalBox 虚拟机里撞了个 Debian + Xen，又在 Xen 里启动了一个虚拟机，果然很快就得到了内核崩溃的 traceback。

哦？可见内核在 xen_start_kernel 不久就崩溃了，这是 /* First C function to be called on Xen boot */，在如此早期就崩溃，什么错误日志到看不到也就不奇怪了。来看看 xen_read_msr 和 pmu_msr_read 在 4.2 和 4.3 之间有什么改变：

可见 pmu_msr_read 完全是个新东西，使用 git blame 继续追查。

发现 PMU 是 Xen 在 4.3 进入主线内核的新特性，于是解决方法就很简单了，把 bf6dfb 和 6b08cd 都撤销就好，接下来的事情就让 PaX Team 和 spender 去追查吧。最后的补丁是：
