Add CPU feature detection for Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Secure Nested Paging. This feature adds a strong memory integrity protection to help prevent malicious hypervisor-based attacks like data replay, memory re-mapping, and more. Since enabling the SNP CPU feature imposes a number of additional requirements on host initialization and handling legacy firmware APIs for SEV/SEV-ES guests, only introduce the CPU feature bit so that the relevant handling can be added, but leave it disabled via a disabled-features mask. Once all the necessary changes needed to maintain legacy SEV/SEV-ES support are introduced in subsequent patches, the SNP feature bit will be unmasked/enabled.

2023-08-02x86/shstk: Add user control-protection fault handlerRick Edgecombe1-1/+7
A control-protection fault is triggered when a control-flow transfer attempt violates Shadow Stack or Indirect Branch Tracking constraints. For example, the return address for a RET instruction differs from the copy on the shadow stack. There already exists a control-protection fault handler for handling kernel IBT faults. Refactor this fault handler into separate user and kernel handlers, like the page fault handler. Add a control-protection handler for usermode. To avoid ifdeffery, put them both in a new file cet.c, which is compiled in the case of either of the two CET features supported in the kernel: kernel IBT or user mode shadow stack. Move some static inline functions from traps.c into a header so they can be used in cet.c. Opportunistically fix a comment in the kernel IBT part of the fault handler that is on the end of the line instead of preceding it. Keep the same behavior for the kernel side of the fault handler, except for converting a BUG to a WARN in the case of a #CP happening when the feature is missing. This unifies the behavior with the new shadow stack code, and also prevents the kernel from crashing under this situation which is potentially recoverable. The control-protection fault handler works in a similar way as the general protection fault handler. It provides the si_code SEGV_CPERR to the signal handler.

2023-07-11x86/cpufeatures: Add CPU feature flags for shadow stacksRick Edgecombe1-1/+7
The Control-Flow Enforcement Technology contains two related features, one of which is Shadow Stacks. Future patches will utilize this feature for shadow stack support in KVM, so add a CPU feature flags for Shadow Stacks (CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 7]). To protect shadow stack state from malicious modification, the registers are only accessible in supervisor mode. This implementation context-switches the registers with XSAVES. Make X86_FEATURE_SHSTK depend on XSAVES. The shadow stack feature, enumerated by the CPUID bit described above, encompasses both supervisor and userspace support for shadow stack. In near future patches, only userspace shadow stack will be enabled. In expectation of future supervisor shadow stack support, create a software CPU capability to enumerate kernel utilization of userspace shadow stack support. This user shadow stack bit should depend on the HW "shstk" capability and that logic will be implemented in future patches.

It is a lighterweight software-only fix for Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a significant performance impact. What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track the call depth of the stack at any time. When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant of Retbleed.

ORC unwinding for zen_untrain_ret() and __x86_return_thunk() is a little tricky but works due to the fact that zen_untrain_ret() doesn't have any stack ops and as such will emit a single ORC entry at the start (+0x3f). Meanwhile, unwinding an IP, including the __x86_return_thunk() one (+0x40) will search for the largest ORC entry smaller or equal to the IP, these will find the one ORC entry (+0x3f) and all works.

2021-06-03x86/cpufeatures: Force disable X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD and remove update_pasid()Thomas Gleixner1-5/+2
While digesting the XSAVE-related horrors which got introduced with the supervisor/user split, the recent addition of ENQCMD-related functionality got on the radar and turned out to be similarly broken. update_pasid(), which is only required when X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD is available, is invoked from two places: 1) From switch_to() for the incoming task 2) Via a SMP function call from the IOMMU/SMV code #1 is half-ways correct as it hacks around the brokenness of get_xsave_addr() by enforcing the state to be 'present', but all the conditionals in that code are completely pointless for that. Also the invocation is just useless overhead because at that point it's guaranteed that TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD is set on the incoming task and all of this can be handled at return to user space. #2 is broken beyond repair. The comment in the code claims that it is safe to invoke this in an IPI, but that's just wishful thinking. FPU state of a running task is protected by fregs_lock() which is nothing else than a local_bh_disable(). As BH-disabled regions run usually with interrupts enabled the IPI can hit a code section which modifies FPU state and there is absolutely no guarantee that any of the assumptions which are made for the IPI case is true. Also the IPI is sent to all CPUs in mm_cpumask(mm), but the IPI is invoked with a NULL pointer argument, so it can hit a completely unrelated task and unconditionally force an update for nothing. Worse, it can hit a kernel thread which operates on a user space address space and set a random PASID for it. The offending commit does not cleanly revert, but it's sufficient to force disable X86_FEATURE_ENQCMD and to remove the broken update_pasid() code to make this dysfunctional all over the place. Anything more complex would require more surgery and none of the related functions outside of the x86 core code are blatantly wrong, so removing those would be overkill. As nothing enables the PASID bit in the IA32_XSS MSR yet, which is required to make this actually work, this cannot result in a regression except for related out of tree train-wrecks, but they are broken already today.

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.

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.

2016-06-30x86/cpufeature: Make sure DISABLED/REQUIRED macros are updatedDave Hansen1-0/+1
x86 has two macros which allow us to evaluate some CPUID-based features at compile time: REQUIRED_MASK_BIT_SET() DISABLED_MASK_BIT_SET() They're both defined by having the compiler check the bit argument against some constant masks of features. But, when adding new CPUID leaves, we need to check new words for these macros. So make sure that those macros and the REQUIRED_MASK* and DISABLED_MASK* get updated when necessary. This looks kinda silly to have an open-coded value ("18" in this case) open-coded in 5 places in the code. But, we really do need 5 places updated when NCAPINTS gets bumped, so now we just force the issue.

2016-05-16x86/cpufeature, x86/mm/pkeys: Fix broken compile-time disabling of pkeysDave Hansen1-3/+3
When I added support for the Memory Protection Keys processor feature, I had to reindent the REQUIRED/DISABLED_MASK macros, and also consult the later cpufeature words. I'm not quite sure how I bungled it, but I consulted the wrong word at the end. This only affected required or disabled cpu features in cpufeature words 14, 15 and 16. So, only Protection Keys itself was screwed over here. The result was that if you disabled pkeys in your .config, you might still see some code show up that should have been compiled out. There should be no functional problems, though. In verifying this patch I also realized that the DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE macros were defined backwards and that the cpu_has() check in setup_pku() was not doing the compile-time disabled checks. So also fix the macro for DISABLE_PKU/OSPKE and add a compile-time check for pkeys being enabled in setup_pku().

2016-02-16x86/cpufeature, x86/mm/pkeys: Add protection keys related CPUID definitionsDave Hansen1-0/+15
There are two CPUID bits for protection keys. One is for whether the CPU contains the feature, and the other will appear set once the OS enables protection keys. Specifically: Bit 04: OSPKE. If 1, OS has set CR4.PKE to enable Protection keys (and the RDPKRU/WRPKRU instructions) This is because userspace can not see CR4 contents, but it can see CPUID contents. X86_FEATURE_PKU is referred to as "PKU" in the hardware documentation: CPUID.(EAX=07H,ECX=0H):ECX.PKU [bit 3] X86_FEATURE_OSPKE is "OSPKU": CPUID.(EAX=07H,ECX=0H):ECX.OSPKE [bit 4] These are the first CPU features which need to look at the ECX word in CPUID leaf 0x7, so this patch also includes fetching that word in to the cpuinfo->x86_capability[] array. Add it to the disabled-features mask when its config option is off. Even though we are not using it here, we also extend the REQUIRED_MASK_BIT_SET() macro to keep it mirroring the DISABLED_MASK_BIT_SET() version. This means that in almost all code, you should use: cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_PKU) and *not* the CONFIG option.

But, in the meantime, there are a few other features than MPX that we can make assumptions about at compile-time based on compile options.

2014-09-11x86: Introduce disabled-featuresDave Hansen1-0/+27
I believe the REQUIRED_MASK aproach was taken so that it was easier to consult in assembly (arch/x86/kernel/verify_cpu.S). DISABLED_MASK does not have the same restriction, but I implemented it the same way for consistency. We have a REQUIRED_MASK... which does two things: 1. Keeps a list of cpuid bits to check in very early boot and refuse to boot if those are not present. 2. Consulted during cpu_has() checks, which allows us to optimize out things at compile-time. In other words, if we *KNOW* we will not boot with the feature off, then we can safely assume that it will be present forever. But, we don't have a similar mechanism for CPU features which may be present but that we know we will not use. We simply use our existing mechanisms to repeatedly check the status of the bit at runtime (well, the alternatives patching helps here but it does not provide compile-time optimization). Adding a feature to disabled-features.h allows the bit to be checked via a new macro: cpu_feature_enabled(). Note that for features in DISABLED_MASK, checks with this macro have all of the benefits of an #ifdef. Before, we would have done this in a header: #ifdef CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MPX #define cpu_has_mpx cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_MPX) #else #define cpu_has_mpx 0 #endif and this in the code: if (cpu_has_mpx) do_some_mpx_thing(); Now, just add your feature to DISABLED_MASK and you can do this everywhere, and get the same benefits you would have from #ifdefs: if (cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_MPX)) do_some_mpx_thing(); We need a new function and *not* a modification to cpu_has() because there are cases where we actually need to check the CPU itself, despite what features the kernel supports. The best example of this is a hypervisor which has no control over what features its guests are using and where the guest does not depend on the host for support.
