In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Atomize IRQ register read/modify/write ops
[Why]
The OTG_GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register controls various HW IRQ sources for
the output timing generator (OTG). VUPDATE_NO_LOCK is one of them.
To enable the IRQ, driver sets the VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN bit in the
GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register.
To ack the IRQ after it fires, the driver sets the VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_CLEAR
bit in the same GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register.
The bit sets are done through read/modify/write operations, which are
not atomic. Thus, the following race is possible:
Thread A: IRQ handler:
*HW IRQ fires*
# IRQ disable
val = read(GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS)
unset(val, VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN)
write(val, GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS)
# ACK reads VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN unset
val1 = read(GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS)
set(val1, VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_CLEAR)
# IRQ enable
val = read(GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS)
set(val, VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN)
write(val, GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS)
# BAD! clears VUPDATE_NO_LOCK_EN
write(val1, GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS)
Regarding the tagged Fixes: change, it appears the change made this race
more likely to occur. Since VUPDATE_NO_LOCK is now the sole IRQ source
for vblank handling, a single race on high refresh panels can lead to a
time out.
[How]
The GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS register is only one example, other IRQ control
registers also share the same scheme. On top of GLOBAL_SYNC_STATUS,
let's clean up those as well.
To keep things simple, Let's atomize the IRQ rmw ops via a single
driver-wide spinlock. Due to the small scope of this lock, it is
unlikely to cause noticeable overhead on top of all the existing locking
within the IRQ set/handle paths.
Since DM is responsible for locking, wrap dc_interrupt_set/ack with the
spinlock in the new amdgpu_dm_irq_set/ack functions. Migrate/drop all
references in DM to dc_interrupt_set/ack to use amdgpu_dm_irq_set/ack
instead.
