      x86/speculation/l1tf: Increase 32bit PAE __PHYSICAL_PAGE_SHIFT · 50896e18
      Andi Kleen authored
      L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) is a speculation related vulnerability. The CPU
      speculates on PTE entries which do not have the PRESENT bit set, if the
      content of the resulting physical address is available in the L1D cache.
      
      The OS side mitigation makes sure that a !PRESENT PTE entry points to a
      physical address outside the actually existing and cachable memory
      space. This is achieved by inverting the upper bits of the PTE. Due to the
      address space limitations this only works for 64bit and 32bit PAE kernels,
      but not for 32bit non PAE.
      
      This mitigation applies to both host and guest kernels, but in case of a
      64bit host (hypervisor) and a 32bit PAE guest, inverting the upper bits of
      the PAE address space (44bit) is not enough if the host has more than 43
      bits of populated memory address space, because the speculation treats the
      PTE content as a physical host address bypassing EPT.
      
      The host (hypervisor) protects itself against the guest by flushing L1D as
      needed, but pages inside the guest are not protected against attacks from
      other processes inside the same guest.
      
      For the guest the inverted PTE mask has to match the host to provide the
      full protection for all pages the host could possibly map into the
      guest. The hosts populated address space is not known to the guest, so the
      mask must cover the possible maximal host address space, i.e. 52 bit.
      
      On 32bit PAE the maximum PTE mask is currently set to 44 bit because that
      is the limit imposed by 32bit unsigned long PFNs in the VMs. This limits
      the mask to be below what the host could possible use for physical pages.
      
      The L1TF PROT_NONE protection code uses the PTE masks to determine which
      bits to invert to make sure the higher bits are set for unmapped entries to
      prevent L1TF speculation attacks against EPT inside guests.
      
      In order to invert all bits that could be used by the host, increase
      __PHYSICAL_PAGE_SHIFT to 52 to match 64bit.
      
      The real limit for a 32bit PAE kernel is still 44 bits because all Linux
      PTEs are created from unsigned long PFNs, so they cannot be higher than 44
      bits on a 32bit kernel. So these extra PFN bits should be never set. The
      only users of this macro are using it to look at PTEs, so it's safe.
