For certain use cases it is desired to enforce mitigations so they cannot be undone afterwards. That's important for loader stubs which want to prevent a child from disabling the mitigation again. Will also be used for seccomp(). The extra state preserving of the prctl state for SSB is a preparatory step for EBPF dymanic speculation control. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Add prctl based control for Speculative Store Bypass mitigation and make it the default mitigation for Intel and AMD. Andi Kleen provided the following rationale (slightly redacted): There are multiple levels of impact of Speculative Store Bypass: 1) JITed sandbox. It cannot invoke system calls, but can do PRIME+PROBE and may have call interfaces to other code 2) Native code process. No protection inside the process at this level. 3) Kernel. 4) Between processes. The prctl tries to protect against case (1) doing attacks. If the untrusted code can do random system calls then control is already lost in a much worse way. So there needs to be system call protection in some way (using a JIT not allowing them or seccomp). Or rather if the process can subvert its environment somehow to do the prctl it can already execute arbitrary code, which is much worse than SSB. To put it differently, the point of the prctl is to not allow JITed code to read data it shouldn't read from its JITed sandbox. If it already has escaped its sandbox then it can already read everything it wants in its address space, and do much worse. The ability to control Speculative Store Bypass allows to enable the protection selectively without affecting overall system performance. Based on an initial patch from Tim Chen.

The Speculative Store Bypass vulnerability can be mitigated with the Reduced Data Speculation (RDS) feature. To allow finer grained control of this eventually expensive mitigation a per task mitigation control is required. Add a new TIF_RDS flag and put it into the group of TIF flags which are evaluated for mismatch in switch_to(). If these bits differ in the previous and the next task, then the slow path function __switch_to_xtra() is invoked. Implement the TIF_RDS dependent mitigation control in the slow path. If the prctl for controlling Speculative Store Bypass is disabled or no task uses the prctl then there is no overhead in the switch_to() fast path. Update the KVM related speculation control functions to take TID_RDS into account as well. Based on a patch from Tim Chen. Completely rewritten.

Add two new prctls to control aspects of speculation related vulnerabilites and their mitigations to provide finer grained control over performance impacting mitigations. PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL returns the state of the speculation misfeature which is selected with arg2 of prctl(2). The return value uses bit 0-2 with the following meaning: Bit Define Description 0 PR_SPEC_PRCTL Mitigation can be controlled per task by PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL 1 PR_SPEC_ENABLE The speculation feature is enabled, mitigation is disabled 2 PR_SPEC_DISABLE The speculation feature is disabled, mitigation is enabled If all bits are 0 the CPU is not affected by the speculation misfeature. If PR_SPEC_PRCTL is set, then the per task control of the mitigation is available. If not set, prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) for the speculation misfeature will fail. PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL allows to control the speculation misfeature, which is selected by arg2 of prctl(2) per task. arg3 is used to hand in the control value, i.e. either PR_SPEC_ENABLE or PR_SPEC_DISABLE. The common return values are: EINVAL prctl is not implemented by the architecture or the unused prctl() arguments are not 0 ENODEV arg2 is selecting a not supported speculation misfeature PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL has these additional return values: ERANGE arg3 is incorrect, i.e. it's not either PR_SPEC_ENABLE or PR_SPEC_DISABLE ENXIO prctl control of the selected speculation misfeature is disabled The first supported controlable speculation misfeature is PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS. Add the define so this can be shared between architectures. Based on an initial patch from Tim Chen and mostly rewritten.

Contemporary high performance processors use a common industry-wide optimization known as "Speculative Store Bypass" in which loads from addresses to which a recent store has occurred may (speculatively) see an older value. Intel refers to this feature as "Memory Disambiguation" which is part of their "Smart Memory Access" capability. Memory Disambiguation can expose a cache side-channel attack against such speculatively read values. An attacker can create exploit code that allows them to read memory outside of a sandbox environment (for example, malicious JavaScript in a web page), or to perform more complex attacks against code running within the same privilege level, e.g. via the stack. As a first step to mitigate against such attacks, provide two boot command line control knobs: nospec_store_bypass_disable spec_store_bypass_disable=[off,auto,on] By default affected x86 processors will power on with Speculative Store Bypass enabled. Hence the provided kernel parameters are written from the point of view of whether to enable a mitigation or not. The parameters are as follows: - auto - Kernel detects whether your CPU model contains an implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and picks the most appropriate mitigation. - on - disable Speculative Store Bypass - off - enable Speculative Store Bypass [ tglx: Reordered the checks so that the whole evaluation is not done when the CPU does not support RDS ] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

A guest may modify the SPEC_CTRL MSR from the value used by the kernel. Since the kernel doesn't use IBRS, this means a value of zero is what is needed in the host. But the 336996-Speculative-Execution-Side-Channel-Mitigations.pdf refers to the other bits as reserved so the kernel should respect the boot time SPEC_CTRL value and use that. This allows to deal with future extensions to the SPEC_CTRL interface if any at all. Note: This uses wrmsrl() instead of native_wrmsl(). I does not make any difference as paravirt will over-write the callq *0xfff.. with the wrmsrl assembler code.

The macro is not type safe and I did look for why that "g" constraint for the asm doesn't work: it's because the asm is more fundamentally wrong. It does movl %[val], %%eax but "val" isn't a 32-bit value, so then gcc will pass it in a register, and generate code like movl %rsi, %eax and gas will complain about a nonsensical 'mov' instruction (it's moving a 64-bit register to a 32-bit one). Passing it through memory will just hide the real bug - gcc still thinks the memory location is 64-bit, but the "movl" will only load the first 32 bits and it all happens to work because x86 is little-endian. Convert it to a type safe inline function with a little trick which hands the feature into the ALTERNATIVE macro.

The recent commt which addresses the x86_phys_bits corruption with encrypted memory on CPUID reload after a microcode update lost the reload of CPUID_8000_0008_EBX as well. As a consequence IBRS and IBRS_FW are not longer detected Restore the behaviour by bringing the reload of CPUID_8000_0008_EBX back. This restore has a twist due to the convoluted way the cpuid analysis works: CPUID_8000_0008_EBX is used by AMD to enumerate IBRB, IBRS, STIBP. On Intel EBX is not used. But the speculation control code sets the AMD bits when running on Intel depending on the Intel specific speculation control bits. This was done to use the same bits for alternatives. The change which moved the 8000_0008 evaluation out of get_cpu_cap() broke this nasty scheme due to ordering. So that on Intel the store to CPUID_8000_0008_EBX clears the IBRB, IBRS, STIBP bits which had been set before by software. So the actual CPUID_8000_0008_EBX needs to go back to the place where it was and the phys/virt address space calculation cannot touch it. In hindsight this should have used completely synthetic bits for IBRB, IBRS, STIBP instead of reusing the AMD bits, but that's for 4.18. /me needs to find time to cleanup that steaming pile of ...

The comment claims that this helper will try not to loose bits, but for 64bit long it looses the high bits before hashing 64bit long into 32bit int. Use the helper hash_long() to do the right thing for 64bit long. For 32bit long, there is no change. All the callers of end_name_hash() either assign the result to qstr->hash, which is u32 or return the result as an int value (e.g. full_name_hash()). Change the helper return type to int to conform to its users. [ It took me a while to apply this, because my initial reaction to it was - incorrectly - that it could make for slower code. After having looked more at it, I take back all my complaints about the patch, Amir was right and I was mis-reading things or just being stupid. I also don't worry too much about the possible performance impact of this on 64-bit, since most architectures that actually care about performance end up not using this very much (the dcache code is the most performance-critical, but the word-at-a-time case uses its own hashing anyway). So this ends up being mostly used for filesystems that do their own degraded hashing (usually because they want a case-insensitive comparison function). A _tiny_ worry remains, in that not everybody uses DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS, and then this potentially makes things more expensive on 64-bit architectures with slow or lacking multipliers even for the normal case. That said, realistically the only such architecture I can think of is PA-RISC. Nobody really cares about performance on that, it's more of a "look ma, I've got warts^W an odd machine" platform. So the patch is fine, and all my initial worries were just misplaced from not looking at this properly. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "Nothing too bad, but the spectre updates to smatch identified a few places that may need sanitising so we've got those covered. Details: - Close some potential spectre-v1 vulnerabilities found by smatch - Add missing list sentinel for CPUs that don't require KPTI - Removal of unused 'addr' parameter for I/D cache coherency - Removal of redundant set_fs(KERNEL_DS) calls in ptrace - Fix single-stepping state machine handling in response to kernel traps - Clang support for 128-bit integers - Avoid instrumenting our out-of-line atomics in preparation for enabling LSE atomics by default in 4.18" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: avoid instrumenting atomic_ll_sc.o KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: fix possible spectre-v1 in vgic_mmio_read_apr() KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: fix possible spectre-v1 in vgic_get_irq() arm64: fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_hbp_get_event() arm64: support __int128 with clang arm64: only advance singlestep for user instruction traps arm64/kernel: rename module_emit_adrp_veneer->module_emit_veneer_for_adrp arm64: ptrace: remove addr_limit manipulation arm64: mm: drop addr parameter from sync icache and dcache arm64: add sentinel to kpti_safe_list

Pull char/misc driver fixes from Greg KH: "Here are some small char and misc driver fixes for 4.17-rc3 A variety of small things that have fallen out after 4.17-rc1 was out. Some vboxguest fixes for systems with lots of memory, amba bus fixes, some MAINTAINERS updates, uio_hv_generic driver fixes, and a few other minor things that resolve problems that people reported. The amba bus fixes took twice to get right, the first time I messed up applying the patches in the wrong order, hence the revert and later addition again with the correct fix, sorry about that. All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues" * tag 'char-misc-4.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc: ARM: amba: Fix race condition with driver_override ARM: amba: Make driver_override output consistent with other buses Revert "ARM: amba: Fix race condition with driver_override" ARM: amba: Don't read past the end of sysfs "driver_override" buffer ARM: amba: Fix race condition with driver_override virt: vbox: Log an error when we fail to get the host version virt: vbox: Use __get_free_pages instead of kmalloc for DMA32 memory virt: vbox: Add vbg_req_free() helper function virt: vbox: Move declarations of vboxguest private functions to private header slimbus: Fix out-of-bounds access in slim_slicesize() MAINTAINERS: add dri-devel&linaro-mm for Android ION fpga-manager: altera-ps-spi: preserve nCONFIG state MAINTAINERS: update my email address uio_hv_generic: fix subchannel ring mmap uio_hv_generic: use correct channel in isr uio_hv_generic: make ring buffer attribute for primary channel uio_hv_generic: set size of ring buffer attribute ANDROID: binder: prevent transactions into own process.
