Instead of patching a single location potentially multiple times in case of
nested ALTERNATIVE()s, do the patching only after having evaluated all
alt_instr instances for that location.
This has multiple advantages:
- In case of replacing an indirect with a direct call using the
ALT_FLAG_DIRECT_CALL flag, there is no longer the need to have that
instance before any other instances at the same location (the
original instruction is needed for finding the target of the direct
call).
This issue has been hit when trying to do paravirt patching similar
to the following:
ALTERNATIVE_2(PARAVIRT_CALL, // indirect call
instr, feature, // native instruction
ALT_CALL_INSTR, X86_FEATURE_XENPV) // Xen function
In case "feature" was true, "instr" replaced the indirect call. Under
Xen PV the patching to have a direct call failed, as the original
indirect call was no longer there to find the call target.
- In case of nested ALTERNATIVE()s there is no intermediate replacement
visible. This avoids any problems in case e.g. an interrupt is
happening between the single instances and the patched location is
used during handling the interrupt.

Tidy up apply_alternatives() by moving the main patching action of a single
alternative instance into 3 helper functions:
- analyze_patch_site() for selection whether patching should occur or not and
to handle nested alternatives.
- prep_patch_site() for applying any needed relocations and issuing debug
prints for the site.
- patch_site() doing the real patching action, including optimization of any
padding NOPs.
In prep_patch_site() use __apply_relocation() instead of
text_poke_apply_relocation(), as the NOP optimization is now done in
patch_site() for all cases.

Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen:
"The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
(LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the
upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually
recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.
This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).
There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an
under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf
so more feature can be packed in there.
Summary:
- Enable Linear Address Space Separation (LASS)

For patching, the kernel initializes a temporary mm area in the lower
half of the address range. LASS blocks these accesses because its
enforcement relies on bit 63 of the virtual address as opposed to SMAP
which depends on the _PAGE_BIT_USER bit in the page table. Disable LASS
enforcement by toggling the RFLAGS.AC bit during patching to avoid
triggering a #GP fault.
Introduce LASS-specific STAC/CLAC helpers to set the AC bit only on
platforms that need it. Name the wrappers as lass_stac()/_clac() instead
of lass_disable()/_enable() because they only control the kernel data
access enforcement. The entire LASS mechanism (including instruction
fetch enforcement) is controlled by the CR4.LASS bit.
Describe the usage of the new helpers in comparison to the ones used for
SMAP. Also, add comments to explain when the existing stac()/clac()
should be used. While at it, move the duplicated "barrier" comment to
the same block.
The Text poking functions use standard memcpy()/memset() while patching
kernel code. However, objtool complains about calling such dynamic
functions within an AC=1 region. See warning #9, regarding function
calls with UACCESS enabled, in tools/objtool/Documentation/objtool.txt.
To pacify objtool, one option is to add memcpy() and memset() to the
list of allowed-functions. However, that would provide a blanket
exemption for all usages of memcpy() and memset(). Instead, replace the
standard calls in the text poking functions with their unoptimized,
always-inlined versions. Considering that patching is usually small,
there is no performance impact expected.

Both uprobes and alternatives have insn_is_nop() variants, unify them
and make sure insn_is_nop() works for both x86_64 and i386.
Specifically, uprobe must not compare userspace instructions to kernel
nops as that does not work right in the compat case.
For the uprobe case we therefore must recognise common 32bit and 64bit
nops. Because uprobe will consume the instruction as a nop, it must
not mistakenly claim a non-nop instruction to be a nop. Eg. 'REX.b3
NOP' is 'xchg %r8,%rax' - not a nop.
For the kernel case similar constraints apply, is it used to optimize
NOPs by replacing strings of short(er) nops with longer nops. Must not
claim an instruction is a nop if it really isn't. Not recognising a
nop is non-fatal.

The INT3 call emulation selftest is a bit fragile as it relies on the
compiler not inserting any extra instructions before the
int3_selftest_ip() definition.
Also, the int3_selftest_ip() symbol overlaps with the int3_selftest
symbol(), which can confuse objtool.
Fix those issues by slightly reworking the functionality and moving
int3_selftest_ip() to a separate asm function. While at it, improve the
naming.

The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).
Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

Currently the very common retpoline: "CS CALL __x86_indirect_thunk_r11"
is transformed into "CALL *R11; NOP3" for eIBRS/BHI_NO parts.
Similarly, paranoid fineibt has: "CALL *R11; NOP".
Recognise that CS stuffing can avoid the extra NOP. However, due to
prefix decode penalties, make sure to not emit too many CS prefixes.
Notably: "CS CALL __x86_indirect_thunk_rax" must not become "CS CS CS
CS CALL *RAX". Prefix decode penalties are typically many more cycles
than decoding an extra NOP.
Additionally, if the retpoline is a tail-call, the "JMP *%\reg" should
be followed by INT3 for straight-line-speculation mitigation, since
emit_indirect() now has a length argument, move this into
emit_indirect() such that other users (paranoid-fineibt) also do this.

A while ago [0] FineIBT started using the 0xEA instruction to raise #UD.
All existing parts will generate #UD in 64bit mode on that instruction.
However; Intel/AMD have not blessed using this instruction, it is on
their 'reserved' opcode list for future use.
Peter Anvin worked the committees and got use of 0xD6 blessed, it
shall be called UDB (per the next SDM or so), and it being a single
byte instruction is easy to slip into a single byte immediate -- as
is done by this very patch.
Reworking the FineIBT code to use UDB wasn't entirely trivial. Notably
the FineIBT-BHI1 case ran out of bytes. In order to condense the
encoding some it was required to move the hash register from R10D to
EAX (thanks hpa!).
Per the x86_64 ABI, RAX is used to pass the number of vector registers
for vararg function calls -- something that should not happen in the
kernel. More so, the kernel is built with -mskip-rax-setup, which
should leave RAX completely unused, allowing its re-use.
[ For BPF; while the bpf2bpf tail-call uses RAX in its calling
convention, that does not use CFI and is unaffected. Only the
'regular' C->BPF transition is covered by CFI. ]
The ENDBR poison value is changed from 'OSP NOP3' to 'NOPL -42(%RAX)',
this is basically NOP4 but with UDB as its immediate. As such it is
still a non-standard NOP value unique to prior ENDBR sites, but now
also provides UDB.
Per Agner Fog's optimization guide, Jcc is assumed not-taken. That is,
the expected path should be the fallthrough case for improved
throughput.
Since the preamble now relies on the ENDBR poison to provide UDB, the
code is changed to write the poison right along with the initial
preamble -- this is possible because the ITS mitigation already
disabled IBT over rewriting the CFI scheme.
The scheme in detail:
Preamble:
FineIBT FineIBT-BHI1 FineIBT-BHI
__cfi_\func: __cfi_\func: __cfi_\func:
endbr endbr endbr
subl $0x12345678, %eax subl $0x12345678, %eax subl $0x12345678, %eax
jne.d32,np \func+3 cmovne %rax, %rdi cs cs call __bhi_args_N
jne.d8,np \func+3
\func: \func: \func:
nopl -42(%rax) nopl -42(%rax) nopl -42(%rax)
Notably there are 7 bytes available after the SUBL; this enables the
BHI1 case to fit without the nasty overlapping case it had previously.
The !BHI case uses Jcc.d32,np to consume all 7 bytes without the need
for an additional NOP, while the BHI case uses CS padding to align the
CALL with the end of the preamble such that it returns to \func+0.
Caller:
FineIBT Paranoid-FineIBT
fineibt_caller: fineibt_caller:
mov $0x12345678, %eax mov $0x12345678, %eax
lea -10(%r11), %r11 cmp -0x11(%r11), %eax
nop5 cs lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
retpoline: retpoline:
cs call __x86_indirect_thunk_r11 jne fineibt_caller+0xd
call *%r11
nop
Notably this is before apply_retpolines() which will fix up the
retpoline call -- since all parts with IBT also have eIBRS (lets
ignore ITS). Typically the retpoline site is rewritten (when still
intact) into:
call *%r11
nop3

execmem_alloc() sets permissions differently depending on the kernel
configuration, CPU support for PSE and whether a page is allocated
before or after mark_rodata_ro().
Add tracking for pages allocated for ITS when patching the core kernel
and make sure the permissions for ITS pages are explicitly managed for
both kernel and module allocations.

FineIBT-paranoid was using the retpoline bytes for the paranoid check,
disabling retpolines, because all parts that have IBT also have eIBRS
and thus don't need no stinking retpolines.
Except... ITS needs the retpolines for indirect calls must not be in
the first half of a cacheline :-/
So what was the paranoid call sequence:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b <f0> lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 75 fd jne d <fineibt_paranoid_start+0xd>
10: 41 ff d3 call *%r11
13: 90 nop
Now becomes:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b f0 lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 2e e8 XX XX XX XX cs call __x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11
Where the paranoid_thunk looks like:
1d: <ea> (bad)
__x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11:
1e: 75 fd jne 1d
__x86_indirect_its_thunk_r11:
20: 41 ff eb jmp *%r11

ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This
could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect
branches becomes same for different execution paths.
To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate
thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure
to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.
As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the
address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses
32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction
accuracy over fixed thunks.
Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that
they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs,
just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

cfi_rewrite_callers() updates the fineIBT hash matching at the caller side,
but except for paranoid-mode it relies on apply_retpoline() and friends for
any ENDBR relocation. This could temporarily cause an indirect branch to
land on a poisoned ENDBR.
For instance, with para-virtualization enabled, a simple wrmsrl() could
have an indirect branch pointing to native_write_msr() who's ENDBR has been
relocated due to fineIBT:
<wrmsrl>:
push %rbp
mov %rsp,%rbp
mov %esi,%eax
mov %rsi,%rdx
shr $0x20,%rdx
mov %edi,%edi
mov %rax,%rsi
call *0x21e65d0(%rip) # <pv_ops+0xb8>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Such an indirect call during the alternative patching could #CP if the
caller is not *yet* adjusted for the new target ENDBR. To prevent a false
#CP, keep CET-IBT disabled until all callers are patched.
Patching during the module load does not need to be guarded by IBT-disable
because the module code is not executed until the patching is complete.

RETs in the lower half of cacheline may be affected by ITS bug,
specifically when the RSB-underflows. Use ITS-safe return thunk for such
RETs.
RETs that are not patched:
- RET in retpoline sequence does not need to be patched, because the
sequence itself fills an RSB before RET.
- RET in Call Depth Tracking (CDT) thunks __x86_indirect_{call|jump}_thunk
and call_depth_return_thunk are not patched because CDT by design
prevents RSB-underflow.
- RETs in .init section are not reachable after init.
- RETs that are explicitly marked safe with ANNOTATE_UNRET_SAFE.

Due to ITS, indirect branches in the lower half of a cacheline may be
vulnerable to branch target injection attack.
Introduce ITS-safe thunks to patch indirect branches in the lower half of
cacheline with the thunk. Also thunk any eBPF generated indirect branches
in emit_indirect_jump().
Below category of indirect branches are not mitigated:
- Indirect branches in the .init section are not mitigated because they are
discarded after boot.
- Indirect branches that are explicitly marked retpoline-safe.
Note that retpoline also mitigates the indirect branches against ITS. This
is because the retpoline sequence fills an RSB entry before RET, and it
does not suffer from RSB-underflow part of the ITS.
