x86/speculation: PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE enforcement for indirect branches.

2020-06-17T14:40:25+00:00

commit 4d8df8cbb9156b0a0ab3f802b80cb5db57acc0bf 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. PR_SPEC_ENABLE called after PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE now fails with -EPERM as described in the documentation.

x86/speculation: Avoid force-disabling IBPB based on STIBP and enhanced IBRS.

2020-06-17T14:40:25+00:00

commit 21998a351512eba4ed5969006f0c55882d995ada 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.

x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigation

2020-06-10T18:24:57+00:00

commit 7e5b3c267d256822407a22fdce6afdf9cd13f9fb 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.

x86/speculation: Fix redundant MDS mitigation message

commit cd5a2aa89e847bdda7b62029d94e95488d73f6b2 upstream. Since MDS and TAA mitigations are inter-related for processors that are affected by both vulnerabilities, the followiing confusing messages can be printed in the kernel log: MDS: Vulnerable MDS: Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers To avoid the first incorrect message, defer the printing of MDS mitigation after the TAA mitigation selection has been done.

x86/speculation: Fix incorrect MDS/TAA mitigation status

2019-11-29T09:09:46+00:00

commit 64870ed1b12e235cfca3f6c6da75b542c973ff78 upstream. For MDS vulnerable processors with TSX support, enabling either MDS or TAA mitigations will enable the use of VERW to flush internal processor buffers at the right code path. IOW, they are either both mitigated or both not. However, if the command line options are inconsistent, the vulnerabilites sysfs files may not report the mitigation status correctly. For example, with only the "mds=off" option: vulnerabilities/mds:Vulnerable; SMT vulnerable vulnerabilities/tsx_async_abort:Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers; SMT vulnerable The mds vulnerabilities file has wrong status in this case. Similarly, the taa vulnerability file will be wrong with mds mitigation on, but taa off. Change taa_select_mitigation() to sync up the two mitigation status and have them turned off if both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off" are present. Update documentation to emphasize the fact that both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off" have to be specified together for processors that are affected by both TAA and MDS to be effective.

x86/speculation/taa: Fix printing of TAA_MSG_SMT on IBRS_ALL CPUs

2019-11-07T15:06:27+00:00

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. So just remove the check.

kvm: mmu: ITLB_MULTIHIT mitigation

2019-11-04T11:22:02+00:00

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.

x86/bugs: Add ITLB_MULTIHIT bug infrastructure

2019-11-04T11:22:01+00:00

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.

x86/speculation/taa: Add mitigation for TSX Async Abort

2019-10-28T07:36:58+00:00

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.
