commit 7fbf47c7 upstream. Add the "retbleed=<value>" boot parameter to select a mitigation for RETBleed. Possible values are "off", "auto" and "unret" (JMP2RET mitigation). The default value is "auto". Currently, "retbleed=auto" will select the unret mitigation on AMD and Hygon and no mitigation on Intel (JMP2RET is not effective on Intel).

commit 7df54884 upstream. Older Intel CPUs that are not in the affected processor list for MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities currently report "Not affected" in sysfs, which may not be correct. Vulnerability status for these older CPUs is unknown. Add known-not-affected CPUs to the whitelist. Report "unknown" mitigation status for CPUs that are not in blacklist, whitelist and also don't enumerate MSR ARCH_CAPABILITIES bits that reflect hardware immunity to MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities. Mitigation is not deployed when the status is unknown. [ bp: Massage, fixup. ] Fixes: 8d50cdf8 ("x86/speculation/mmio: Add sysfs reporting for Processor MMIO Stale Data") Suggested-by:

commit 2b129932 upstream. tl;dr: The Enhanced IBRS mitigation for Spectre v2 does not work as documented for RET instructions after VM exits. Mitigate it with a new one-entry RSB stuffing mechanism and a new LFENCE. == Background == Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (IBRS) was designed to help mitigate Branch Target Injection and Speculative Store Bypass, i.e. Spectre, attacks. IBRS prevents software run in less privileged modes from affecting branch prediction in more privileged modes. IBRS requires the MSR to be written on every privilege level change. To overcome some of the performance issues of IBRS, Enhanced IBRS was introduced. eIBRS is an "always on" IBRS, in other words, just turn it on once instead of writing the MSR on every privilege level change. When eIBRS is enabled, more privileged modes should be protected from less privileged modes, including protecting VMMs from guests. == Problem == Here's a simplification of how guests are run on Linux' KVM: void run_kvm_guest(void) { // Prepare to run guest VMRESUME(); // Clean up after guest runs } The execution flow for that would look something like this to the processor: 1. Host-side: call run_kvm_guest() 2. Host-side: VMRESUME 3. Guest runs, does "CALL guest_function" 4. VM exit, host runs again 5. Host might make some "cleanup" function calls 6. Host-side: RET from run_kvm_guest() Now, when back on the host, there are a couple of possible scenarios of post-guest activity the host needs to do before executing host code: * on pre-eIBRS hardware (legacy IBRS, or nothing at all), the RSB is not touched and Linux has to do a 32-entry stuffing. * on eIBRS hardware, VM exit with IBRS enabled, or restoring the host IBRS=1 shortly after VM exit, has a documented side effect of flushing the RSB except in this PBRSB situation where the software needs to stuff the last RSB entry "by hand". IOW, with eIBRS supported, host RET instructions should no longer be influenced by guest behavior after the host retires a single CALL instruction. However, if the RET instructions are "unbalanced" with CALLs after a VM exit as is the RET in #6, it might speculatively use the address for the instruction after the CALL in #3 as an RSB prediction. This is a problem since the (untrusted) guest controls this address. Balanced CALL/RET instruction pairs such as in step #5 are not affected. == Solution == The PBRSB issue affects a wide variety of Intel processors which support eIBRS. But not all of them need mitigation. Today, X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE triggers an RSB filling sequence that mitigates PBRSB. Systems setting RETPOLINE need no further mitigation - i.e., eIBRS systems which enable retpoline explicitly. However, such systems (X86_FEATURE_IBRS_ENHANCED) do not set RETPOLINE and most of them need a new mitigation. Therefore, introduce a new feature flag X86_FEATURE_RSB_VMEXIT_LITE which triggers a lighter-weight PBRSB mitigation versus RSB Filling at vmexit. The lighter-weight mitigation performs a CALL instruction which is immediately followed by a speculative execution barrier (INT3). This steers speculative execution to the barrier -- just like a retpoline -- which ensures that speculation can never reach an unbalanced RET. Then, ensure this CALL is retired before continuing execution with an LFENCE. In other words, the window of exposure is opened at VM exit where RET behavior is troublesome. While the window is open, force RSB predictions sampling for RET targets to a dead end at the INT3. Close the window with the LFENCE. There is a subset of eIBRS systems which are not vulnerable to PBRSB. Add these systems to the cpu_vuln_whitelist[] as NO_EIBRS_PBRSB. Future systems that aren't vulnerable will set ARCH_CAP_PBRSB_NO.

commit e5925fb8 upstream MDS, TAA and Processor MMIO Stale Data mitigations rely on clearing CPU buffers. Moreover, status of these mitigations affects each other. During boot, it is important to maintain the order in which these mitigations are selected. This is especially true for md_clear_update_mitigation() that needs to be called after MDS, TAA and Processor MMIO Stale Data mitigation selection is done. Introduce md_clear_select_mitigation(), and select all these mitigations from there. This reflects relationships between these mitigations and ensures proper ordering. Signed-off-by:

commit 8cb861e9 upstream Processor MMIO Stale Data is a class of vulnerabilities that may expose data after an MMIO operation. For details please refer to Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/processor_mmio_stale_data.rst. These vulnerabilities are broadly categorized as: Device Register Partial Write (DRPW): Some endpoint MMIO registers incorrectly handle writes that are smaller than the register size. Instead of aborting the write or only copying the correct subset of bytes (for example, 2 bytes for a 2-byte write), more bytes than specified by the write transaction may be written to the register. On some processors, this may expose stale data from the fill buffers of the core that created the write transaction. Shared Buffers Data Sampling (SBDS): After propagators may have moved data around the uncore and copied stale data into client core fill buffers, processors affected by MFBDS can leak data from the fill buffer. Shared Buffers Data Read (SBDR): It is similar to Shared Buffer Data Sampling (SBDS) except that the data is directly read into the architectural software-visible state. An attacker can use these vulnerabilities to extract data from CPU fill buffers using MDS and TAA methods. Mitigate it by clearing the CPU fill buffers using the VERW instruction before returning to a user or a guest. On CPUs not affected by MDS and TAA, user application cannot sample data from CPU fill buffers using MDS or TAA. A guest with MMIO access can still use DRPW or SBDR to extract data architecturally. Mitigate it with VERW instruction to clear fill buffers before VMENTER for MMIO capable guests. Add a kernel parameter mmio_stale_data={off|full|full,nosmt} to control the mitigation. Signed-off-by:

commit 0de05d05 upstream. The commit 44a3918c ("x86/speculation: Include unprivileged eBPF status in Spectre v2 mitigation reporting") added a warning for the "eIBRS + unprivileged eBPF" combination, which has been shown to be vulnerable against Spectre v2 BHB-based attacks. However, there's no warning about the "eIBRS + LFENCE retpoline + unprivileged eBPF" combo. The LFENCE adds more protection by shortening the speculation window after a mispredicted branch. That makes an attack significantly more difficult, even with unprivileged eBPF. So at least for now the logic doesn't warn about that combination. But if you then add SMT into the mix, the SMT attack angle weakens the effectiveness of the LFENCE considerably. So extend the "eIBRS + unprivileged eBPF" warning to also include the "eIBRS + LFENCE + unprivileged eBPF + SMT" case. [ bp: Massage commit message. ] Suggested-by:

commit eafd987d upstream. With: f8a66d60 ("x86,bugs: Unconditionally allow spectre_v2=retpoline,amd") it became possible to enable the LFENCE "retpoline" on Intel. However, Intel doesn't recommend it, as it has some weaknesses compared to retpoline. Now AMD doesn't recommend it either. It can still be left available as a cmdline option. It's faster than retpoline but is weaker in certain scenarios -- particularly SMT, but even non-SMT may be vulnerable in some cases. So just unconditionally warn if the user requests it on the cmdline. [ bp: Massage commit message. ] Signed-off-by:

commit 33fc379d upstream. When spectre_v2_user={seccomp,prctl},ibpb is specified on the command line, IBPB is force-enabled and STIPB is conditionally-enabled (or not available). However, since 21998a35 ("x86/speculation: Avoid force-disabling IBPB based on STIBP and enhanced IBRS.") the spectre_v2_user_ibpb variable is set to SPECTRE_V2_USER_{PRCTL,SECCOMP} instead of SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT, which is the actual behaviour. Because the issuing of IBPB relies on the switch_mm_*_ibpb static branches, the mitigations behave as expected. Since 1978b3a5 ("x86/speculation: Allow IBPB to be conditionally enabled on CPUs with always-on STIBP") this discrepency caused the misreporting of IB speculation via prctl(). On CPUs with STIBP always-on and spectre_v2_user=seccomp,ibpb, prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) would return PR_SPEC_PRCTL | PR_SPEC_ENABLE instead of PR_SPEC_DISABLE since both IBPB and STIPB are always on. It also allowed prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) to set the IB speculation mode, even though the flag is ignored. Similarly, for CPUs without SMT, prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) should also return PR_SPEC_DISABLE since IBPB is always on and STIBP is not available.

commit 1978b3a5 upstream. On AMD CPUs which have the feature X86_FEATURE_AMD_STIBP_ALWAYS_ON, STIBP is set to on and spectre_v2_user_stibp == SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT_PREFERRED At the same time, IBPB can be set to conditional. However, this leads to the case where it's impossible to turn on IBPB for a process because in the PR_SPEC_DISABLE case in ib_prctl_set() the spectre_v2_user_stibp == SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT_PREFERRED condition leads to a return before the task flag is set. Similarly, ib_prctl_get() will return PR_SPEC_DISABLE even though IBPB is set to conditional. More generally, the following cases are possible: 1. STIBP = conditional && IBPB = on for spectre_v2_user=seccomp,ibpb 2. STIBP = on && IBPB = conditional for AMD CPUs with X86_FEATURE_AMD_STIBP_ALWAYS_ON The first case functions correctly today, but only because spectre_v2_user_ibpb isn't updated to reflect the IBPB mode. At a high level, this change does one thing. If either STIBP or IBPB is set to conditional, allow the prctl to change the task flag. Also, reflect that capability when querying the state. This isn't perfect since it doesn't take into account if only STIBP or IBPB is unconditionally on. But it allows the conditional feature to work as expected, without affecting the unconditional one.

commit 4d8df8cb upstream. Currently, it is possible to enable indirect branch speculation even after it was force-disabled using the PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE option. Moreover, the PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL command gives afterwards an incorrect result (force-disabled when it is in fact enabled). This also is inconsistent vs. STIBP and the documention which cleary states that PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE cannot be undone. Fix this by actually enforcing force-disabled indirect branch speculation.

commit 21998a35 upstream. When STIBP is unavailable or enhanced IBRS is available, Linux force-disables the IBPB mitigation of Spectre-BTB even when simultaneous multithreading is disabled. While attempts to enable IBPB using prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, ...) fail with EPERM, the seccomp syscall (or its prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, ...) equivalent) which are used e.g. by Chromium or OpenSSH succeed with no errors but the application remains silently vulnerable to cross-process Spectre v2 attacks (classical BTB poisoning). At the same time the SYSFS reporting (/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2) displays that IBPB is conditionally enabled when in fact it is unconditionally disabled. STIBP is useful only when SMT is enabled. When SMT is disabled and STIBP is unavailable, it makes no sense to force-disable also IBPB, because IBPB protects against cross-process Spectre-BTB attacks regardless of the SMT state. At the same time since missing STIBP was only observed on AMD CPUs, AMD does not recommend using STIBP, but recommends using IBPB, so disabling IBPB because of missing STIBP goes directly against AMD's advice: https://developer.amd.com/wp-content/resources/Architecture_Guidelines_Update_Indirect_Branch_Control.pdf Similarly, enhanced IBRS is designed to protect cross-core BTB poisoning and BTB-poisoning attacks from user space against kernel (and BTB-poisoning attacks from guest against hypervisor), it is not designed to prevent cross-process (or cross-VM) BTB poisoning between processes (or VMs) running on the same core. Therefore, even with enhanced IBRS it is necessary to flush the BTB during context-switches, so there is no reason to force disable IBPB when enhanced IBRS is available. Enable the prctl control of IBPB even when STIBP is unavailable or enhanced IBRS is available. Fixes: 7cc765a6 ("x86/speculation: Enable prctl mode for spectre_v2_user") Signed-off-by:

commit 7e5b3c26 upstream SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse. While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL. The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom. * Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using either mitigations=off or srbds=off. * Export vulnerability status via sysfs * Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

For new IBRS_ALL CPUs, the Enhanced IBRS check at the beginning of cpu_bugs_smt_update() causes the function to return early, unintentionally skipping the MDS and TAA logic. This is not a problem for MDS, because there appears to be no overlap between IBRS_ALL and MDS-affected CPUs. So the MDS mitigation would be disabled and nothing would need to be done in this function anyway. But for TAA, the TAA_MSG_SMT string will never get printed on Cascade Lake and newer. The check is superfluous anyway: when 'spectre_v2_enabled' is SPECTRE_V2_IBRS_ENHANCED, 'spectre_v2_user' is always SPECTRE_V2_USER_NONE, and so the 'spectre_v2_user' switch statement handles it appropriately by doing nothing.

With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup. Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a malicious guest to cause this situation. Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable. This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow and direct EPT is treated in the same way. [ tglx: Fixup default to auto and massage wording a bit ] Originally-by:

Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant erratum can be found here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195 There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully disclose the impact. This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT. It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page tables. Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which are mitigated against this issue. Signed-off-by:

TSX Async Abort (TAA) is a side channel vulnerability to the internal buffers in some Intel processors similar to Microachitectural Data Sampling (MDS). In this case, certain loads may speculatively pass invalid data to dependent operations when an asynchronous abort condition is pending in a TSX transaction. This includes loads with no fault or assist condition. Such loads may speculatively expose stale data from the uarch data structures as in MDS. Scope of exposure is within the same-thread and cross-thread. This issue affects all current processors that support TSX, but do not have ARCH_CAP_TAA_NO (bit 8) set in MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES. On CPUs which have their IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR bit MDS_NO=0, CPUID.MD_CLEAR=1 and the MDS mitigation is clearing the CPU buffers using VERW or L1D_FLUSH, there is no additional mitigation needed for TAA. On affected CPUs with MDS_NO=1 this issue can be mitigated by disabling the Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) feature. A new MSR IA32_TSX_CTRL in future and current processors after a microcode update can be used to control the TSX feature. There are two bits in that MSR: * TSX_CTRL_RTM_DISABLE disables the TSX sub-feature Restricted Transactional Memory (RTM). * TSX_CTRL_CPUID_CLEAR clears the RTM enumeration in CPUID. The other TSX sub-feature, Hardware Lock Elision (HLE), is unconditionally disabled with updated microcode but still enumerated as present by CPUID(EAX=7).EBX{bit4}. The second mitigation approach is similar to MDS which is clearing the affected CPU buffers on return to user space and when entering a guest. Relevant microcode update is required for the mitigation to work. More details on this approach can be found here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/hw-vuln/mds.html The TSX feature can be controlled by the "tsx" command line parameter. If it is force-enabled then "Clear CPU buffers" (MDS mitigation) is deployed. The effective mitigation state can be read from sysfs.

Intel provided the following information: On all current Atom processors, instructions that use a segment register value (e.g. a load or store) will not speculatively execute before the last writer of that segment retires. Thus they will not use a speculatively written segment value. That means on ATOMs there is no speculation through SWAPGS, so the SWAPGS entry paths can be excluded from the extra LFENCE if PTI is disabled. Create a separate bug flag for the through SWAPGS speculation and mark all out-of-order ATOMs and AMD/HYGON CPUs as not affected. The in-order ATOMs are excluded from the whole mitigation mess anyway. Reported-by:

arch_smt_update() will be used to control IPI/NMI broadcasting via the shorthand mechanism. Keeping it in the bugs file and calling the apic function from there is possible, but not really intuitive. Move it to a neutral place and invoke the bugs function from there. No functional change. Signed-off-by:

X86_HYPER_NATIVE isn't accurate for checking if running on native platform, e.g. CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST isn't set or "nopv" is enabled. Checking the CPU feature bit X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR to determine if it's running on native platform is more accurate. This still doesn't cover the platforms on which X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR is unsupported, e.g. VMware, but there is nothing which can be done about this scenario.

The previous commit added macro calls in the entry code which mitigate the Spectre v1 swapgs issue if the X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_* features are enabled. Enable those features where applicable. The mitigations may be disabled with "nospectre_v1" or "mitigations=off". There are different features which can affect the risk of attack: - When FSGSBASE is enabled, unprivileged users are able to place any value in GS, using the wrgsbase instruction. This means they can write a GS value which points to any value in kernel space, which can be useful with the following gadget in an interrupt/exception/NMI handler: if (coming from user space) swapgs mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg1 // dependent load or store based on the value of %reg // for example: mov %(reg1), %reg2 If an interrupt is coming from user space, and the entry code speculatively skips the swapgs (due to user branch mistraining), it may speculatively execute the GS-based load and a subsequent dependent load or store, exposing the kernel data to an L1 side channel leak. Note that, on Intel, a similar attack exists in the above gadget when coming from kernel space, if the swapgs gets speculatively executed to switch back to the user GS. On AMD, this variant isn't possible because swapgs is serializing with respect to future GS-based accesses. NOTE: The FSGSBASE patch set hasn't been merged yet, so the above case doesn't exist quite yet. - When FSGSBASE is disabled, the issue is mitigated somewhat because unprivileged users must use prctl(ARCH_SET_GS) to set GS, which restricts GS values to user space addresses only. That means the gadget would need an additional step, since the target kernel address needs to be read from user space first. Something like: if (coming from user space) swapgs mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg1 mov (%reg1), %reg2 // dependent load or store based on the value of %reg2 // for example: mov %(reg2), %reg3 It's difficult to audit for this gadget in all the handlers, so while there are no known instances of it, it's entirely possible that it exists somewhere (or could be introduced in the future). Without tooling to analyze all such code paths, consider it vulnerable. Effects of SMAP on the !FSGSBASE case: - If SMAP is enabled, and the CPU reports RDCL_NO (i.e., not susceptible to Meltdown), the kernel is prevented from speculatively reading user space memory, even L1 cached values. This effectively disables the !FSGSBASE attack vector. - If SMAP is enabled, but the CPU *is* susceptible to Meltdown, SMAP still prevents the kernel from speculatively reading user space memory. But it does *not* prevent the kernel from reading the user value from L1, if it has already been cached. This is probably only a small hurdle for an attacker to overcome. Thanks to Dave Hansen for contributing the speculative_smap() function. Thanks to Andrew Cooper for providing the inside scoop on whether swapgs is serializing on AMD.

The bits set in x86_spec_ctrl_mask are used to calculate the guest's value of SPEC_CTRL that is written to the MSR before VMENTRY, and control which mitigations the guest can enable. In the case of SSBD, unless the host has enabled SSBD always on mode (by passing "spec_store_bypass_disable=on" in the kernel parameters), the SSBD bit is not set in the mask and the guest can not properly enable the SSBD always on mitigation mode. This has been confirmed by running the SSBD PoC on a guest using the SSBD always on mitigation mode (booted with kernel parameter "spec_store_bypass_disable=on"), and verifying that the guest is vulnerable unless the host is also using SSBD always on mode. In addition, the guest OS incorrectly reports the SSB vulnerability as mitigated. Always set the SSBD bit in x86_spec_ctrl_mask when the host CPU supports it, allowing the guest to use SSBD whether or not the host has chosen to enable the mitigation in any of its modes.
