2024-10-22x86/entry_32: Clear CPU buffers after register restore in NMI returnPawan Gupta1-1/+2
commit 48a2440d0f20c826b884e04377ccc1e4696c84e9 upstream. CPU buffers are currently cleared after call to exc_nmi, but before register state is restored. This may be okay for MDS mitigation but not for RDFS. Because RDFS mitigation requires CPU buffers to be cleared when registers don't have any sensitive data. Move CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS after RESTORE_ALL_NMI.

commit 2e2e5143d4868163d6756c8c6a4d28cbfa5245e5 upstream. Opportunistic SYSEXIT executes VERW to clear CPU buffers after user EFLAGS are restored. This can clobber user EFLAGS.ZF.

2024-10-22x86/entry: Have entry_ibpb() invalidate return predictionsJohannes Wikner1-0/+5
commit 50e4b3b94090babe8d4bb85c95f0d3e6b07ea86e upstream. entry_ibpb() should invalidate all indirect predictions, including return target predictions. Not all IBPB implementations do this, in which case the fallback is RSB filling. Prevent SRSO-style hijacks of return predictions following IBPB, as the return target predictor can be corrupted before the IBPB completes.

2024-08-02uretprobe: change syscall number, againArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
Despite multiple attempts to get the syscall number assignment right for the newly added uretprobe syscall, we ended up with a bit of a mess: - The number is defined as 467 based on the assumption that the xattrat family of syscalls would use 463 through 466, but those did not make it into 6.11. - The include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h file still lists the number 463, but the new scripts/syscall.tbl that was supposed to have the same data lists 467 instead as the number for arc, arm64, csky, hexagon, loongarch, nios2, openrisc and riscv. None of these architectures actually provide a uretprobe syscall. - All the other architectures (powerpc, arm, mips, ...) don't list this syscall at all. There are two ways to make it consistent again: either list it with the same syscall number on all architectures, or only list it on x86 but not in scripts/syscall.tbl and asm-generic/unistd.h. Based on the most recent discussion, it seems like we won't need it anywhere else, so just remove the inconsistent assignment and instead move the x86 number to the next available one in the architecture specific range, which is 335.

Hook up the generic vDSO implementation to the x86 vDSO data page. Since the existing vDSO infrastructure is heavily based on the timekeeping functionality, which works over arrays of bases, a new macro is introduced for vvars that are not arrays. The vDSO function requires a ChaCha20 implementation that does not write to the stack, yet can still do an entire ChaCha20 permutation, so provide this using SSE2, since this is userland code that must work on all x86-64 processors.

2024-07-15uprobe: Change uretprobe syscall scope and numberJiri Olsa1-1/+1
After discussing with Arnd [1] it's preferable to change uretprobe syscall number to 467 to omit the merge conflict with xattrat syscalls. Also changing the ABI to 'common' which will ease up the global scripts/syscall.tbl management. One consequence is we generate uretprobe syscall numbers for ABIs that do not support uretprobe syscall, but the syscall still returns -ENOSYS when called in that ABI.

2024-07-03x86/bhi: Avoid warning in #DB handler due to BHI mitigationAlexandre Chartre1-4/+10
When BHI mitigation is enabled, if SYSENTER is invoked with the TF flag set then entry_SYSENTER_compat() uses CLEAR_BRANCH_HISTORY and calls the clear_bhb_loop() before the TF flag is cleared. This causes the #DB handler (exc_debug_kernel()) to issue a warning because single-step is used outside the entry_SYSENTER_compat() function. To address this issue, entry_SYSENTER_compat() should use CLEAR_BRANCH_HISTORY after making sure the TF flag is cleared. The problem can be reproduced with the following sequence: $ cat sysenter_step.c int main() { asm("pushf; pop %ax; bts $8,%ax; push %ax; popf; sysenter"); } $ gcc -o sysenter_step sysenter_step.c $ ./sysenter_step Segmentation fault (core dumped) The program is expected to crash, and the #DB handler will issue a warning.

2024-06-25syscalls: fix compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64 usageArnd Bergmann1-1/+1
Using sys_io_pgetevents() as the entry point for compat mode tasks works almost correctly, but misses the sign extension for the min_nr and nr arguments. This was addressed on parisc by switching to compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64() in commit 6431e92fc827 ("parisc: io_pgetevents_time64() needs compat syscall in 32-bit compat mode"), as well as by using more sophisticated system call wrappers on x86 and s390. However, arm64, mips, powerpc, sparc and riscv still have the same bug. Change all of them over to use compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64() like parisc already does. This was clearly the intention when the function was originally added, but it got hooked up incorrectly in the tables.

2024-05-23mseal: wire up mseal syscallJeff Xu2-0/+2
Patch series "Introduce mseal", v10. This patchset proposes a new mseal() syscall for the Linux kernel. In a nutshell, mseal() protects the VMAs of a given virtual memory range against modifications, such as changes to their permission bits. Modern CPUs support memory permissions, such as the read/write (RW) and no-execute (NX) bits. Linux has supported NX since the release of kernel version 2.6.8 in August 2004 [1]. The memory permission feature improves the security stance on memory corruption bugs, as an attacker cannot simply write to arbitrary memory and point the code to it. The memory must be marked with the X bit, or else an exception will occur. Internally, the kernel maintains the memory permissions in a data structure called VMA (vm_area_struct). mseal() additionally protects the VMA itself against modifications of the selected seal type. Memory sealing is useful to mitigate memory corruption issues where a corrupted pointer is passed to a memory management system. For example, such an attacker primitive can break control-flow integrity guarantees since read-only memory that is supposed to be trusted can become writable or .text pages can get remapped. Memory sealing can automatically be applied by the runtime loader to seal .text and .rodata pages and applications can additionally seal security critical data at runtime. A similar feature already exists in the XNU kernel with the VM_FLAGS_PERMANENT [3] flag and on OpenBSD with the mimmutable syscall [4]. Also, Chrome wants to adopt this feature for their CFI work [2] and this patchset has been designed to be compatible with the Chrome use case. Two system calls are involved in sealing the map: mmap() and mseal(). The new mseal() is an syscall on 64 bit CPU, and with following signature: int mseal(void addr, size_t len, unsigned long flags) addr/len: memory range. flags: reserved. mseal() blocks following operations for the given memory range. 1> Unmapping, moving to another location, and shrinking the size, via munmap() and mremap(), can leave an empty space, therefore can be replaced with a VMA with a new set of attributes. 2> Moving or expanding a different VMA into the current location, via mremap(). 3> Modifying a VMA via mmap(MAP_FIXED). 4> Size expansion, via mremap(), does not appear to pose any specific risks to sealed VMAs. It is included anyway because the use case is unclear. In any case, users can rely on merging to expand a sealed VMA. 5> mprotect() and pkey_mprotect(). 6> Some destructive madvice() behaviors (e.g. MADV_DONTNEED) for anonymous memory, when users don't have write permission to the memory. Those behaviors can alter region contents by discarding pages, effectively a memset(0) for anonymous memory. The idea that inspired this patch comes from Stephen Röttger’s work in V8 CFI [5]. Chrome browser in ChromeOS will be the first user of this API. Indeed, the Chrome browser has very specific requirements for sealing, which are distinct from those of most applications. For example, in the case of libc, sealing is only applied to read-only (RO) or read-execute (RX) memory segments (such as .text and .RELRO) to prevent them from becoming writable, the lifetime of those mappings are tied to the lifetime of the process. Chrome wants to seal two large address space reservations that are managed by different allocators. The memory is mapped RW- and RWX respectively but write access to it is restricted using pkeys (or in the future ARM permission overlay extensions). The lifetime of those mappings are not tied to the lifetime of the process, therefore, while the memory is sealed, the allocators still need to free or discard the unused memory. For example, with madvise(DONTNEED). However, always allowing madvise(DONTNEED) on this range poses a security risk. For example if a jump instruction crosses a page boundary and the second page gets discarded, it will overwrite the target bytes with zeros and change the control flow. Checking write-permission before the discard operation allows us to control when the operation is valid. In this case, the madvise will only succeed if the executing thread has PKEY write permissions and PKRU changes are protected in software by control-flow integrity. Although the initial version of this patch series is targeting the Chrome browser as its first user, it became evident during upstream discussions that we would also want to ensure that the patch set eventually is a complete solution for memory sealing and compatible with other use cases. The specific scenario currently in mind is glibc's use case of loading and sealing ELF executables. To this end, Stephen is working on a change to glibc to add sealing support to the dynamic linker, which will seal all non-writable segments at startup. Once this work is completed, all applications will be able to automatically benefit from these new protections. In closing, I would like to formally acknowledge the valuable contributions received during the RFC process, which were instrumental in shaping this patch: Jann Horn: raising awareness and providing valuable insights on the destructive madvise operations. Liam R. Howlett: perf optimization. Linus Torvalds: assisting in defining system call signature and scope. Theo de Raadt: sharing the experiences and insight gained from implementing mimmutable() in OpenBSD. MM perf benchmarks ================== This patch adds a loop in the mprotect/munmap/madvise(DONTNEED) to check the VMAs’ sealing flag, so that no partial update can be made, when any segment within the given memory range is sealed. To measure the performance impact of this loop, two tests are developed. [8] The first is measuring the time taken for a particular system call, by using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC). The second is using PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES (exclude user space). Both tests have similar results.

In comparison to mseal, which adds 20-40 ns or 50-100 CPU cycles, the increase from 5.10 to 6.8 is significantly larger, approximately ten times greater for munmap and mprotect. When I discuss the mm performance with Brian Makin, an engineer who worked on performance, it was brought to my attention that such performance benchmarks, which measuring millions of mm syscall in a tight loop, may not accurately reflect real-world scenarios, such as that of a database service. Also this is tested using a single HW and ChromeOS, the data from another HW or distribution might be different. It might be best to take this data with a grain of salt.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 interrupt handling updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Add support for posted interrupts on bare metal. Posted interrupts is a virtualization feature which allows to inject interrupts directly into a guest without host interaction. The VT-d interrupt remapping hardware sets the bit which corresponds to the interrupt vector in a vector bitmap which is either used to inject the interrupt directly into the guest via a virtualized APIC or in case that the guest is scheduled out provides a host side notification interrupt which informs the host that an interrupt has been marked pending in the bitmap. This can be utilized on bare metal for scenarios where multiple devices, e.g. NVME storage, raise interrupts with a high frequency. In the default mode these interrupts are handles independently and therefore require a full roundtrip of interrupt entry/exit. Utilizing posted interrupts this roundtrip overhead can be avoided by coalescing these interrupt entries to a single entry for the posted interrupt notification. The notification interrupt then demultiplexes the pending bits in a memory based bitmap and invokes the corresponding device specific handlers. Depending on the usage scenario and device utilization throughput improvements between 10% and 130% have been measured. As this is only relevant for high end servers with multiple device queues per CPU attached and counterproductive for situations where interrupts are arriving at distinct times, the functionality is opt-in via a kernel command line parameter" * tag 'x86-irq-2024-05-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/irq: Use existing helper for pending vector check iommu/vt-d: Enable posted mode for device MSIs iommu/vt-d: Make posted MSI an opt-in command line option x86/irq: Extend checks for pending vectors to posted interrupts x86/irq: Factor out common code for checking pending interrupts x86/irq: Install posted MSI notification handler x86/irq: Factor out handler invocation from common_interrupt() x86/irq: Set up per host CPU posted interrupt descriptors x86/irq: Reserve a per CPU IDT vector for posted MSIs x86/irq: Add a Kconfig option for posted MSI x86/irq: Remove bitfields in posted interrupt descriptor x86/irq: Unionize PID.PIR for 64bit access w/o casting KVM: VMX: Move posted interrupt descriptor out of VMX code

2024-05-10kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directoryMasahiro Yamada1-1/+1
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined in scripts/Makefile.build: src := $(obj) When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically passed to the compiler. This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter. To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of $(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree. Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following meanings: $(obj) - directory in the object tree $(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit) $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced with $(src).

2024-05-01x86/mm: Remove broken vsyscall emulation code from the page fault codeLinus Torvalds1-26/+2
The syzbot-reported stack trace from hell in this discussion thread actually has three nested page faults: https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000d5f4fc0616e816d4@google.com ... and I think that's actually the important thing here: - the first page fault is from user space, and triggers the vsyscall emulation. - the second page fault is from __do_sys_gettimeofday(), and that should just have caused the exception that then sets the return value to -EFAULT - the third nested page fault is due to _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() -> preempt_schedule() -> trace_sched_switch(), which then causes a BPF trace program to run, which does that bpf_probe_read_compat(), which causes that page fault under pagefault_disable(). It's quite the nasty backtrace, and there's a lot going on. The problem is literally the vsyscall emulation, which sets current->thread.sig_on_uaccess_err = 1; and that causes the fixup_exception() code to send the signal *despite* the exception being caught. And I think that is in fact completely bogus. It's completely bogus exactly because it sends that signal even when it *shouldn't* be sent - like for the BPF user mode trace gathering. In other words, I think the whole "sig_on_uaccess_err" thing is entirely broken, because it makes any nested page-faults do all the wrong things. Now, arguably, I don't think anybody should enable vsyscall emulation any more, but this test case clearly does. I think we should just make the "send SIGSEGV" be something that the vsyscall emulation does on its own, not this broken per-thread state for something that isn't actually per thread. The x86 page fault code actually tried to deal with the "incorrect nesting" by having that: if (in_interrupt()) return; which ignores the sig_on_uaccess_err case when it happens in interrupts, but as shown by this example, these nested page faults do not need to be about interrupts at all. IOW, I think the only right thing is to remove that horrendously broken code. The attached patch looks like the ObviouslyCorrect(tm) thing to do. NOTE! This broken code goes back to this commit in 2011: 4fc3490114bb ("x86-64: Set siginfo and context on vsyscall emulation faults") ... and back then the reason was to get all the siginfo details right. Honestly, I do not for a moment believe that it's worth getting the siginfo details right here, but part of the commit says: This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate. ... and so my patch to remove this garbage will probably break UML in this situation. I do not believe that anybody should be running with vsyscall=emulate in 2024 in the first place, much less if you are doing things like UML. But let's see if somebody screams.

2024-04-30x86/irq: Install posted MSI notification handlerJacob Pan1-0/+2
All MSI vectors are multiplexed into a single notification vector when posted MSI is enabled. It is the responsibility of the notification vector handler to demultiplex MSI vectors. In the handler the MSI vector handlers are dispatched without IDT delivery for each pending MSI interrupt. For example, the interrupt flow will change as follows: (3 MSIs of different vectors arrive in a a high frequency burst) BEFORE: interrupt(MSI) irq_enter() handler() /* EOI */ irq_exit() process_softirq() interrupt(MSI) irq_enter() handler() /* EOI */ irq_exit() process_softirq() interrupt(MSI) irq_enter() handler() /* EOI */ irq_exit() process_softirq() AFTER: interrupt /* Posted MSI notification vector */ irq_enter() atomic_xchg(PIR) handler() handler() handler() pi_clear_on() apic_eoi() irq_exit() process_softirq() Except for the leading MSI, CPU notifications are skipped/coalesced. For MSIs which arrive at a low frequency, the demultiplexing loop does not wait for more interrupts to coalesce. Therefore, there's no additional latency other than the processing time.

Eventually, the common bits will be unified once FRED hw is available and it turns out that no further changes are needed but for now, keep the handlers separate for everyone's sanity's sake.

2024-04-09x86/entry: Merge thunk_64.S and thunk_32.S into thunk.SLai Jiangshan3-19/+1
The code in thunk_64.S and thunk_32.S are exactly the same except for the comments. Merge them in to thunk.S. And since thunk_32.S was originated from thunk_64.S, the new merged thunk.S is actually renamed from thunk_64.S.

2024-04-08x86/bhi: Add support for clearing branch history at syscall entryPawan Gupta3-2/+79
Branch History Injection (BHI) attacks may allow a malicious application to influence indirect branch prediction in kernel by poisoning the branch history. eIBRS isolates indirect branch targets in ring0. The BHB can still influence the choice of indirect branch predictor entry, and although branch predictor entries are isolated between modes when eIBRS is enabled, the BHB itself is not isolated between modes. Alder Lake and new processors supports a hardware control BHI_DIS_S to mitigate BHI. For older processors Intel has released a software sequence to clear the branch history on parts that don't support BHI_DIS_S. Add support to execute the software sequence at syscall entry and VMexit to overwrite the branch history. For now, branch history is not cleared at interrupt entry, as malicious applications are not believed to have sufficient control over the registers, since previous register state is cleared at interrupt entry. Researchers continue to poke at this area and it may become necessary to clear at interrupt entry as well in the future. This mitigation is only defined here. It is enabled later.

2024-04-08x86/syscall: Don't force use of indirect calls for system callsLinus Torvalds4-10/+46
Make <asm/syscall.h> build a switch statement instead, and the compiler can either decide to generate an indirect jump, or - more likely these days due to mitigations - just a series of conditional branches. Yes, the conditional branches also have branch prediction, but the branch prediction is much more controlled, in that it just causes speculatively running the wrong system call (harmless), rather than speculatively running possibly wrong random less controlled code gadgets. This doesn't mitigate other indirect calls, but the system call indirection is the first and most easily triggered case.

In a similar fashion to b388e57d4628 ("x86/vdso: Fix rethunk patching for vdso-image-{32,64}.o") annotate vdso-image-x32.o too for objtool so that it gets annotated properly and the unused return thunk warning doesn't fire.
