SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Cross-Thread Return Address Predictions +======================================= + +Certain AMD and Hygon processors are subject to a cross-thread return address +predictions vulnerability. When running in SMT mode and one sibling thread +transitions out of C0 state, the other sibling thread could use return target +predictions from the sibling thread that transitioned out of C0. + +The Spectre v2 mitigations protect the Linux kernel, as it fills the return +address prediction entries with safe targets when context switching to the idle +thread. However, KVM does allow a VMM to prevent exiting guest mode when +transitioning out of C0. This could result in a guest-controlled return target +being consumed by the sibling thread. + +Affected processors +------------------- + +The following CPUs are vulnerable: + + - AMD Family 17h processors + - Hygon Family 18h processors + +Related CVEs +------------ + +The following CVE entry is related to this issue: + + ============== ======================================= + CVE-2022-27672 Cross-Thread Return Address Predictions + ============== ======================================= + +Problem +------- + +Affected SMT-capable processors support 1T and 2T modes of execution when SMT +is enabled. In 2T mode, both threads in a core are executing code. For the +processor core to enter 1T mode, it is required that one of the threads +requests to transition out of the C0 state. This can be communicated with the +HLT instruction or with an MWAIT instruction that requests non-C0. +When the thread re-enters the C0 state, the processor transitions back +to 2T mode, assuming the other thread is also still in C0 state. + +In affected processors, the return address predictor (RAP) is partitioned +depending on the SMT mode. For instance, in 2T mode each thread uses a private +16-entry RAP, but in 1T mode, the active thread uses a 32-entry RAP. Upon +transition between 1T/2T mode, the RAP contents are not modified but the RAP +pointers (which control the next return target to use for predictions) may +change. This behavior may result in return targets from one SMT thread being +used by RET predictions in the sibling thread following a 1T/2T switch. In +particular, a RET instruction executed immediately after a transition to 1T may +use a return target from the thread that just became idle. In theory, this +could lead to information disclosure if the return targets used do not come +from trustworthy code. + +Attack scenarios +---------------- + +An attack can be mounted on affected processors by performing a series of CALL +instructions with targeted return locations and then transitioning out of C0 +state. + +Mitigation mechanism +-------------------- + +Before entering idle state, the kernel context switches to the idle thread. The +context switch fills the RAP entries (referred to as the RSB in Linux) with safe +targets by performing a sequence of CALL instructions. + +Prevent a guest VM from directly putting the processor into an idle state by +intercepting HLT and MWAIT instructions. + +Both mitigations are required to fully address this issue. + +Mitigation control on the kernel command line +--------------------------------------------- + +Use existing Spectre v2 mitigations that will fill the RSB on context switch. + +Mitigation control for KVM - module parameter +--------------------------------------------- + +By default, the KVM hypervisor mitigates this issue by intercepting guest +attempts to transition out of C0. A VMM can use the KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS +capability to override those interceptions, but since this is not common, the +mitigation that covers this path is not enabled by default. + +The mitigation for the KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS capability can be turned on +using the boolean module parameter mitigate_smt_rsb, e.g.: + kvm.mitigate_smt_rsb=1 diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/index.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/index.rst index 4df436e7c417..e0614760a99e 100644 --- a/Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/index.rst @@ -18,3 +18,4 @@ are configurable at compile, boot or run time. core-scheduling.rst l1d_flush.rst processor_mmio_stale_data.rst + cross-thread-rsb.rst diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h index 61012476d66e..8f39c46197b8 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h @@ -466,5 +466,6 @@ #define X86_BUG_MMIO_UNKNOWN X86_BUG(26) /* CPU is too old and its MMIO Stale Data status is unknown */ #define X86_BUG_RETBLEED X86_BUG(27) /* CPU is affected by RETBleed */ #define X86_BUG_EIBRS_PBRSB X86_BUG(28) /* EIBRS is vulnerable to Post Barrier RSB Predictions */ +#define X86_BUG_SMT_RSB X86_BUG(29) /* CPU is vulnerable to Cross-Thread Return Address Predictions */ #endif /* _ASM_X86_CPUFEATURES_H */ diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c index 9cfca3d7d0e2..f3cc7699e1e1 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c @@ -1256,6 +1256,8 @@ static const __initconst struct x86_cpu_id cpu_vuln_whitelist[] = { #define MMIO_SBDS BIT(2) /* CPU is affected by RETbleed, speculating where you would not expect it */ #define RETBLEED BIT(3) +/* CPU is affected by SMT (cross-thread) return predictions */ +#define SMT_RSB BIT(4) static const struct x86_cpu_id cpu_vuln_blacklist[] __initconst = { VULNBL_INTEL_STEPPINGS(IVYBRIDGE, X86_STEPPING_ANY, SRBDS), @@ -1287,8 +1289,8 @@ static const struct x86_cpu_id cpu_vuln_blacklist[] __initconst = { VULNBL_AMD(0x15, RETBLEED), VULNBL_AMD(0x16, RETBLEED), - VULNBL_AMD(0x17, RETBLEED), - VULNBL_HYGON(0x18, RETBLEED), + VULNBL_AMD(0x17, RETBLEED | SMT_RSB), + VULNBL_HYGON(0x18, RETBLEED | SMT_RSB), {} }; @@ -1406,6 +1408,9 @@ static void __init cpu_set_bug_bits(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) !(ia32_cap & ARCH_CAP_PBRSB_NO)) setup_force_cpu_bug(X86_BUG_EIBRS_PBRSB); + if (cpu_matches(cpu_vuln_blacklist, SMT_RSB)) + setup_force_cpu_bug(X86_BUG_SMT_RSB); + if (cpu_matches(cpu_vuln_whitelist, NO_MELTDOWN)) return; diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c index da4bbd043a7b..f0fa3de2ceb8 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c @@ -191,6 +191,10 @@ module_param(enable_pmu, bool, 0444); bool __read_mostly eager_page_split = true; module_param(eager_page_split, bool, 0644); +/* Enable/disable SMT_RSB bug mitigation */ +bool __read_mostly mitigate_smt_rsb; +module_param(mitigate_smt_rsb, bool, 0444); + /* * Restoring the host value for MSRs that are only consumed when running in * usermode, e.g. SYSCALL MSRs and TSC_AUX, can be deferred until the CPU @@ -4448,10 +4452,15 @@ int kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension(struct kvm *kvm, long ext) r = KVM_CLOCK_VALID_FLAGS; break; case KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS: - r |= KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT | KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_PAUSE | - KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_CSTATE; - if(kvm_can_mwait_in_guest()) - r |= KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_MWAIT; + r = KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_PAUSE; + + if (!mitigate_smt_rsb) { + r |= KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT | + KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_CSTATE; + + if (kvm_can_mwait_in_guest()) + r |= KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_MWAIT; + } break; case KVM_CAP_X86_SMM: if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM_SMM)) @@ -6227,15 +6236,26 @@ split_irqchip_unlock: if (cap->args[0] & ~KVM_X86_DISABLE_VALID_EXITS) break; - if ((cap->args[0] & KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_MWAIT) && - kvm_can_mwait_in_guest()) - kvm->arch.mwait_in_guest = true; - if (cap->args[0] & KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_HLT) - kvm->arch.hlt_in_guest = true; if (cap->args[0] & KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_PAUSE) kvm->arch.pause_in_guest = true; - if (cap->args[0] & KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_CSTATE) - kvm->arch.cstate_in_guest = true; + +#define SMT_RSB_MSG "This processor is affected by the Cross-Thread Return Predictions vulnerability.
