We can use PCID to retain the TLBs across CR3 switches; including those now part of the user/kernel switch. This increases performance of kernel entry/exit at the cost of more expensive/complicated TLB flushing. Now that we have two address spaces, one for kernel and one for user space, we need two PCIDs per mm. We use the top PCID bit to indicate a user PCID (just like we use the PFN LSB for the PGD). Since we do TLB invalidation from kernel space, the existing code will only invalidate the kernel PCID, we augment that by marking the corresponding user PCID invalid, and upon switching back to userspace, use a flushing CR3 write for the switch. In order to access the user_pcid_flush_mask we use PER_CPU storage, which means the previously established SWAPGS vs CR3 ordering is now mandatory and required. Having to do this memory access does require additional registers, most sites have a functioning stack and we can spill one (RAX), sites without functional stack need to otherwise provide the second scratch register. Note: PCID is generally available on Intel Sandybridge and later CPUs. Note: Up until this point TLB flushing was broken in this series.

If changing the page tables in such a way that an invalidation of all contexts (aka. PCIDs / ASIDs) is required, they can be actively invalidated by: 1. INVPCID for each PCID (works for single pages too). 2. Load CR3 with each PCID without the NOFLUSH bit set 3. Load CR3 with the NOFLUSH bit set for each and do INVLPG for each address. But, none of these are really feasible since there are ~6 ASIDs (12 with PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION) at the time that invalidation is required. Instead of actively invalidating them, invalidate the *current* context and also mark the cpu_tlbstate _quickly_ to indicate future invalidation to be required. At the next context-switch, look for this indicator ('invalidate_other' being set) invalidate all of the cpu_tlbstate.ctxs[] entries. This ensures that any future context switches will do a full flush of the TLB, picking up the previous changes. [ tglx: Folded more fixups from Peter ] Signed-off-by: -

With PTI enabled, the LDT must be mapped in the usermode tables somewhere. The LDT is per process, i.e. per mm. An earlier approach mapped the LDT on context switch into a fixmap area, but that's a big overhead and exhausted the fixmap space when NR_CPUS got big. Take advantage of the fact that there is an address space hole which provides a completely unused pgd. Use this pgd to manage per-mm LDT mappings. This has a down side: the LDT isn't (currently) randomized, and an attack that can write the LDT is instant root due to call gates (thanks, AMD, for leaving call gates in AMD64 but designing them wrong so they're only useful for exploits). This can be mitigated by making the LDT read-only or randomizing the mapping, either of which is strightforward on top of this patch. This will significantly slow down LDT users, but that shouldn't matter for important workloads -- the LDT is only used by DOSEMU(2), Wine, and very old libc implementations.

The BTS and PEBS buffers both have their virtual addresses programmed into the hardware. This means that any access to them is performed via the page tables. The times that the hardware accesses these are entirely dependent on how the performance monitoring hardware events are set up. In other words, there is no way for the kernel to tell when the hardware might access these buffers. To avoid perf crashes, place 'debug_store' allocate pages and map them into the cpu_entry_area. The PEBS fixup buffer does not need this treatment. [ tglx: Got rid of the kaiser_add_mapping() complication ] Signed-off-by:

The Intel PEBS/BTS debug store is a design trainwreck as it expects virtual addresses which must be visible in any execution context. So it is required to make these mappings visible to user space when kernel page table isolation is active. Provide enough room for the buffer mappings in the cpu_entry_area so the buffers are available in the user space visible page tables. At the point where the kernel side entry area is populated there is no buffer available yet, but the kernel PMD must be populated. To achieve this set the entries for these buffers to non present.

Share the entry text PMD of the kernel mapping with the user space mapping. If large pages are enabled this is a single PMD entry and at the point where it is copied into the user page table the RW bit has not been cleared yet.

Provide infrastructure to: - find a kernel PMD for a mapping which must be visible to user space for the entry/exit code to work. - walk an address range and share the kernel PMD with it.

Kernel page table isolation requires to have two PGDs. One for the kernel, which contains the full kernel mapping plus the user space mapping and one for user space which contains the user space mappings and the minimal set of kernel mappings which are required by the architecture to be able to transition from and to user space.

With PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION the user portion of the kernel page tables is poisoned with the NX bit so if the entry code exits with the kernel page tables selected in CR3, userspace crashes. But doing so trips the p4d/pgd_bad() checks. Make sure it does not do that. Signed-off-by:

PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION needs to switch to a different CR3 value when it enters the kernel and switch back when it exits. This essentially needs to be done before leaving assembly code. This is extra challenging because the switching context is tricky: the registers that can be clobbered can vary. It is also hard to store things on the stack because there is an established ABI (ptregs) or the stack is entirely unsafe to use. Establish a set of macros that allow changing to the user and kernel CR3 values. Interactions with SWAPGS: Previous versions of the PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION code relied on having per-CPU scratch space to save/restore a register that can be used for the CR3 MOV. The %GS register is used to index into our per-CPU space, so SWAPGS *had* to be done before the CR3 switch. That scratch space is gone now, but the semantic that SWAPGS must be done before the CR3 MOV is retained. This is good to keep because it is not that hard to do and it allows to do things like add per-CPU debugging information. What this does in the NMI code is worth pointing out. NMIs can interrupt *any* context and they can also be nested with NMIs interrupting other NMIs. The comments below ".Lnmi_from_kernel" explain the format of the stack during this situation. Changing the format of this stack is hard. Instead of storing the old CR3 value on the stack, this depends on the *regular* register save/restore mechanism and then uses %r14 to keep CR3 during the NMI. It is callee-saved and will not be clobbered by the C NMI handlers that get called. [ PeterZ: ESPFIX optimization ] Based-on-code-from: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Global pages stay in the TLB across context switches. Since all contexts share the same kernel mapping, these mappings are marked as global pages so kernel entries in the TLB are not flushed out on a context switch. But, even having these entries in the TLB opens up something that an attacker can use, such as the double-page-fault attack: http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2013/papers/4977a191.pdf That means that even when PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION switches page tables on return to user space the global pages would stay in the TLB cache. Disable global pages so that kernel TLB entries can be flushed before returning to user space. This way, all accesses to kernel addresses from userspace result in a TLB miss independent of the existence of a kernel mapping. Suppress global pages via the __supported_pte_mask. The user space mappings set PAGE_GLOBAL for the minimal kernel mappings which are required for entry/exit. These mappings are set up manually so the filtering does not take place. [ The __supported_pte_mask simplification was written by Thomas Gleixner. ] Signed-off-by:

Many x86 CPUs leak information to user space due to missing isolation of user space and kernel space page tables. There are many well documented ways to exploit that. The upcoming software migitation of isolating the user and kernel space page tables needs a misfeature flag so code can be made runtime conditional. Add the BUG bits which indicates that the CPU is affected and add a feature bit which indicates that the software migitation is enabled. Assume for now that _ALL_ x86 CPUs are affected by this. Exceptions can be made later. Signed-off-by:

There are effectively two ASID types: 1. The one stored in the mmu_context that goes from 0..5 2. The one programmed into the hardware that goes from 1..6 This consolidates the locations where converting between the two (by doing a +1) to a single place which gives us a nice place to comment. PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION will also need to, given an ASID, know which hardware ASID to flush for the userspace mapping. Signed-off-by:

First, it's nice to remove the magic numbers. Second, PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION is going to consume half of the available ASID space. The space is currently unused, but add a comment to spell out this new restriction. Signed-off-by:

For flushing the TLB, the ASID which has been programmed into the hardware must be known. That differs from what is in 'cpu_tlbstate'. Add functions to transform the 'cpu_tlbstate' values into to the one programmed into the hardware (CR3). It's not easy to include mmu_context.h into tlbflush.h, so just move the CR3 building over to tlbflush.h. Signed-off-by:

If the kernel oopses while on the trampoline stack, it will print "<SYSENTER>" even if SYSENTER is not involved. That is rather confusing. The "SYSENTER" stack is used for a lot more than SYSENTER now. Give it a better string to display in stack dumps, and rename the kernel code to match. Also move the 32-bit code over to the new naming even though it still uses the entry stack only for SYSENTER. Signed-off-by:

The LDT is inherited across fork() or exec(), but that makes no sense at all because exec() is supposed to start the process clean. The reason why this happens is that init_new_context_ldt() is called from init_new_context() which obviously needs to be called for both fork() and exec(). It would be surprising if anything relies on that behaviour, so it seems to be safe to remove that misfeature. Split the context initialization into two parts. Clear the LDT pointer and initialize the mutex from the general context init and move the LDT duplication to arch_dup_mmap() which is only called on fork(). Signed-off-by:
