[PATCH] x86/cpufeatures: Force disable X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD and remove update_pasid()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sat May 29 2021 - 05:17:36 EST


While digesting the XSAVE related horrors, which got introduced with the
supervisor/user split, the recent addition of ENQCMD related functionality
got on the radar and turned out to be similarly broken.

update_pasid(), which is only required when X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD is
available, is invoked from two places:

1) From switch_to() for the incoming task

2) Via a SMP function call from the IOMMU/SMV code

#1 is half-ways correct as it hacks around the brokenness of get_xsave_addr()
by enforcing the state to be 'present', but all the conditionals in that
code are completely pointless for that.

Also the invocation is just useless overhead because at that point
it's guaranteed that TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD is set on the incoming task
and all of this can be handled at return to user space.

#2 is broken beyond repair. The comment in the code claims that it is safe
to invoke this in an IPI, but that's just wishful thinking.

FPU state of a running task is protected by fregs_lock() which is
nothing else than a local_bh_disable(). As BH disabled regions run
usually with interrupts enabled the IPI can hit a code section which
modifies FPU state and there is absolutely no guarantee that any of the
assumptions which are made for the IPI case is true.

Also the IPI is sent to all CPUs in mm_cpumask(mm), but the IPI is
invoked with a NULL pointer argument, so it can hit a completely
unrelated task and unconditionally force an update for nothing.
Worse it can hit a kernel thread which operates on a user space
address space and set a random PASID for it.

The offending commit does not cleanly revert, but it's sufficient to
force disable X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD and to remove the broken update_pasid()
code to make this dysfunctional all over the place. Anything more
complex would require more surgery and none of the related functions
outside of the x86 core code are blatantly wrong, so removing those
would be overkill.

As nothing enables the PASID bit in the IA32_XSS MSR yet, which is
required to make this actually work, this cannot result in a regression
except for related out of tree train-wrecks, but they are broken already
today.
