[PATCH 4.4 18/21] x86/speculation: Prepare entry code for Spectre v1 swapgs mitigations

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Aug 09 2019 - 09:49:15 EST


From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 18ec54fdd6d18d92025af097cd042a75cf0ea24c upstream.

Spectre v1 isn't only about array bounds checks. It can affect any
conditional checks. The kernel entry code interrupt, exception, and NMI
handlers all have conditional swapgs checks. Those may be problematic in
the context of Spectre v1, as kernel code can speculatively run with a user
GS.

For example:

if (coming from user space)
swapgs
mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg
mov (%reg), %reg1

When coming from user space, the CPU can speculatively skip the swapgs, and
then do a speculative percpu load using the user GS value. So the user can
speculatively force a read of any kernel value. If a gadget exists which
uses the percpu value as an address in another load/store, then the
contents of the kernel value may become visible via an L1 side channel
attack.

A similar attack exists when coming from kernel space. The CPU can
speculatively do the swapgs, causing the user GS to get used for the rest
of the speculative window.

The mitigation is similar to a traditional Spectre v1 mitigation, except:

a) index masking isn't possible; because the index (percpu offset)
isn't user-controlled; and

b) an lfence is needed in both the "from user" swapgs path and the
"from kernel" non-swapgs path (because of the two attacks described
above).

The user entry swapgs paths already have SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3, which has a
CR3 write when PTI is enabled. Since CR3 writes are serializing, the
lfences can be skipped in those cases.

On the other hand, the kernel entry swapgs paths don't depend on PTI.

To avoid unnecessary lfences for the user entry case, create two separate
features for alternative patching:

X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_USER
X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL

Use these features in entry code to patch in lfences where needed.

The features aren't enabled yet, so there's no functional change.

[bwh: Backported to 4.4:
- Assign the CPU feature bits from word 7
- Add FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL_ENTRY to NMI entry, since it does not
use paranoid_entry
- Include <asm/cpufeatures.h> in calling.h
- Adjust context]
