Instead of pushing/popping %RSI to/from the stack every time a function
is called from startup_64(), store it in a callee preserved register
and grab it from there when its value is actually needed.

The SBPB bit in MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD is supported only after a microcode
patch has been applied so set X86_FEATURE_SBPB only then. Otherwise,
guests would attempt to set that bit and #GP on the MSR write.
While at it, make SMT detection more robust as some guests - depending
on how and what CPUID leafs their report - lead to cpu_smt_control
getting set to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED but SRSO_NO should be set for any
guest incarnation where one simply cannot do SMT, for whatever reason.

The left overs of a moved interrupt are cleaned up once the interrupt is
raised on the new target CPU. Keeping the vector valid on the original
target CPU guarantees that there can't be an interrupt lost if the affinity
change races with an concurrent interrupt from the device.
This cleanup utilizes the lowest priority interrupt vector for this
cleanup, which makes sure that in the unlikely case when the to be cleaned
up interrupt is pending in the local APICs IRR the cleanup vector does not
live lock.
But there is no real reason to use an interrupt vector for cleaning up the
leftovers of a moved interrupt. It's not a high performance operation. The
only requirement is that it happens on the original target CPU.
Convert it to use a timer instead and adjust the code accordingly.

Attempt to disable virtualization during an emergency reboot if and only
if there is a registered virt callback, i.e. iff a hypervisor (KVM) is
active. If there's no active hypervisor, then the CPU can't be operating
with VMX or SVM enabled (barring an egregious bug).
Checking for a valid callback instead of simply for SVM or VMX support
can also eliminates spurious NMIs by avoiding the unecessary call to
nmi_shootdown_cpus_on_restart().
Note, IRQs are disabled, which prevents KVM from coming along and
enabling virtualization after the fact.

may kexec into a new kernel after a crash. Per Intel's SDM, the VMX
architecture doesn't require the CPU to flush the VMCS cache on INIT. If
an emergency reboot doesn't RESET CPUs, cached VMCSes could theoretically
be kept and only be written back to memory after the new kernel is booted,
i.e. could effectively corrupt memory after reboot.

The existing comment around handling vm_munmap() failure when freeing a
shadow stack is wrong. It asserts that vm_munmap() returns -EINTR when
the mmap lock is only being held for a short time, and so the caller
should retry. Based on this wrong understanding, unmap_shadow_stack() will
loop retrying vm_munmap().
What -EINTR actually means in this case is that the process is going
away (see ae79878), and the whole MM will be torn down soon. In order
to facilitate this, the task should not linger in the kernel, but
actually do the opposite. So don't loop in this scenario, just abandon
the operation and let exit_mmap() clean it up. Also, update the comment
to reflect the actual meaning of the error code.

Some applications (like GDB) would like to tweak shadow stack state via
ptrace. This allows for existing functionality to continue to work for
seized shadow stack applications. Provide a regset interface for
manipulating the shadow stack pointer (SSP).
There is already ptrace functionality for accessing xstate, but this
does not include supervisor xfeatures. So there is not a completely
clear place for where to put the shadow stack state. Adding it to the
user xfeatures regset would complicate that code, as it currently shares
logic with signals which should not have supervisor features.
Don't add a general supervisor xfeature regset like the user one,
because it is better to maintain flexibility for other supervisor
xfeatures to define their own interface. For example, an xfeature may
decide not to expose all of it's state to userspace, as is actually the
case for shadow stack ptrace functionality. A lot of enum values remain
to be used, so just put it in dedicated shadow stack regset.
The only downside to not having a generic supervisor xfeature regset,
is that apps need to be enlightened of any new supervisor xfeature
exposed this way (i.e. they can't try to have generic save/restore
logic). But maybe that is a good thing, because they have to think
through each new xfeature instead of encountering issues when a new
supervisor xfeature was added.
By adding a shadow stack regset, it also has the effect of including the
shadow stack state in a core dump, which could be useful for debugging.
The shadow stack specific xstate includes the SSP, and the shadow stack
and WRSS enablement status. Enabling shadow stack or WRSS in the kernel
involves more than just flipping the bit. The kernel is made aware that
it has to do extra things when cloning or handling signals. That logic
is triggered off of separate feature enablement state kept in the task
struct. So the flipping on HW shadow stack enforcement without notifying
the kernel to change its behavior would severely limit what an application
could do without crashing, and the results would depend on kernel
internal implementation details. There is also no known use for controlling
this state via ptrace today. So only expose the SSP, which is something
that userspace already has indirect control over.

Setting CR4.CET is a prerequisite for utilizing any CET features, most of
which also require setting MSRs.
Kernel IBT already enables the CET CR4 bit when it detects IBT HW support
and is configured with kernel IBT. However, future patches that enable
userspace shadow stack support will need the bit set as well. So change
the logic to enable it in either case.

Applications and loaders can have logic to decide whether to enable
shadow stack. They usually don't report whether shadow stack has been
enabled or not, so there is no way to verify whether an application
actually is protected by shadow stack.
Add two lines in /proc/$PID/status to report enabled and locked features.
Since, this involves referring to arch specific defines in asm/prctl.h,
implement an arch breakout to emit the feature lines.

For the current shadow stack implementation, shadow stacks contents can't
easily be provisioned with arbitrary data. This property helps apps
protect themselves better, but also restricts any potential apps that may
want to do exotic things at the expense of a little security.
The x86 shadow stack feature introduces a new instruction, WRSS, which
can be enabled to write directly to shadow stack memory from userspace.
Allow it to get enabled via the prctl interface.
Only enable the userspace WRSS instruction, which allows writes to
userspace shadow stacks from userspace. Do not allow it to be enabled
independently of shadow stack, as HW does not support using WRSS when
shadow stack is disabled.
>From a fault handler perspective, WRSS will behave very similar to WRUSS,
which is treated like a user access from a #PF err code perspective.

When operating with shadow stacks enabled, the kernel will automatically
allocate shadow stacks for new threads, however in some cases userspace
will need additional shadow stacks. The main example of this is the
ucontext family of functions, which require userspace allocating and
pivoting to userspace managed stacks.
Unlike most other user memory permissions, shadow stacks need to be
provisioned with special data in order to be useful. They need to be setup
with a restore token so that userspace can pivot to them via the RSTORSSP
instruction. But, the security design of shadow stacks is that they
should not be written to except in limited circumstances. This presents a
problem for userspace, as to how userspace can provision this special
data, without allowing for the shadow stack to be generally writable.
Previously, a new PROT_SHADOW_STACK was attempted, which could be
mprotect()ed from RW permissions after the data was provisioned. This was
found to not be secure enough, as other threads could write to the
shadow stack during the writable window.
The kernel can use a special instruction, WRUSS, to write directly to
userspace shadow stacks. So the solution can be that memory can be mapped
as shadow stack permissions from the beginning (never generally writable
in userspace), and the kernel itself can write the restore token.
First, a new madvise() flag was explored, which could operate on the
PROT_SHADOW_STACK memory. This had a couple of downsides:
1. Extra checks were needed in mprotect() to prevent writable memory from
ever becoming PROT_SHADOW_STACK.
2. Extra checks/vma state were needed in the new madvise() to prevent
restore tokens being written into the middle of pre-used shadow stacks.
It is ideal to prevent restore tokens being added at arbitrary
locations, so the check was to make sure the shadow stack had never been
written to.
3. It stood out from the rest of the madvise flags, as more of direct
action than a hint at future desired behavior.
So rather than repurpose two existing syscalls (mmap, madvise) that don't
quite fit, just implement a new map_shadow_stack syscall to allow
userspace to map and setup new shadow stacks in one step. While ucontext
is the primary motivator, userspace may have other unforeseen reasons to
setup its own shadow stacks using the WRSS instruction. Towards this
provide a flag so that stacks can be optionally setup securely for the
common case of ucontext without enabling WRSS. Or potentially have the

The shadow stack signal frame is read by the kernel on sigreturn. It
relies on shadow stack memory protections to prevent forgeries of this
signal frame (which included the pre-signal SSP). This behavior helps
userspace protect itself. However, using the INCSSP instruction userspace
can adjust the SSP to 8 bytes beyond the end of a shadow stack. INCSSP
performs shadow stack reads to make sure it doesn’t increment off of the
shadow stack, but on the end position it actually reads 8 bytes below the
new SSP.
For the shadow stack HW operations, this situation (INCSSP off the end
of a shadow stack by 8 bytes) would be fine. If the a RET is executed, the
push to the shadow stack would fail to write to the shadow stack. If a
CALL is executed, the SSP will be incremented back onto the stack and the
return address will be written successfully to the very end. That is
expected behavior around shadow stack underflow.
However, the kernel doesn’t have a way to read shadow stack memory using
shadow stack accesses. WRUSS can write to shadow stack memory with a
shadow stack access which ensures the access is to shadow stack memory.
But unfortunately for this case, there is no equivalent instruction for
shadow stack reads. So when reading the shadow stack signal frames, the
kernel currently assumes the SSP is pointing to the shadow stack and uses
a normal read.
The SSP pointing to shadow stack memory will be true in most cases, but as
described above, in can be untrue by 8 bytes. So lookup the VMA of the
shadow stack sigframe being read to verify it is shadow stack.
Since the SSP can only be beyond the shadow stack by 8 bytes, and
shadow stack memory is page aligned, this check only needs to be done
when this type of relative position to a page boundary is encountered.
So skip the extra work otherwise.

The shadow stack signal frame is read by the kernel on sigreturn. It
relies on shadow stack memory protections to prevent forgeries of this
signal frame (which included the pre-signal SSP). It also relies on the
shadow stack signal frame to have bit 63 set. Since this bit would not be
set via typical shadow stack operations, so the kernel can assume it was a
value it placed there.
However, in order to support 32 bit shadow stack, the INCSSPD instruction
can increment the shadow stack by 4 bytes. In this case SSP might be
pointing to a region spanning two 8 byte shadow stack frames. It could
confuse the checks described above.
Since the kernel only supports shadow stack in 64 bit, just check that
the SSP is 8 byte aligned in the sigreturn path.

When a signal is handled, the context is pushed to the stack before
handling it. For shadow stacks, since the shadow stack only tracks return
addresses, there isn't any state that needs to be pushed. However, there
are still a few things that need to be done. These things are visible to
userspace and which will be kernel ABI for shadow stacks.
One is to make sure the restorer address is written to shadow stack, since
the signal handler (if not changing ucontext) returns to the restorer, and
the restorer calls sigreturn. So add the restorer on the shadow stack
before handling the signal, so there is not a conflict when the signal
handler returns to the restorer.
The other thing to do is to place some type of checkable token on the
thread's shadow stack before handling the signal and check it during
sigreturn. This is an extra layer of protection to hamper attackers
calling sigreturn manually as in SROP-like attacks.
For this token the shadow stack data format defined earlier can be used.
Have the data pushed be the previous SSP. In the future the sigreturn
might want to return back to a different stack. Storing the SSP (instead
of a restore offset or something) allows for future functionality that
may want to restore to a different stack.
So, when handling a signal push
- the SSP pointing in the shadow stack data format
- the restorer address below the restore token.
In sigreturn, verify SSP is stored in the data format and pop the shadow
stack.

Shadow stacks are normally written to via CALL/RET or specific CET
instructions like RSTORSSP/SAVEPREVSSP. However, sometimes the kernel will
need to write to the shadow stack directly using the ring-0 only WRUSS
instruction.
A shadow stack restore token marks a restore point of the shadow stack, and
the address in a token must point directly above the token, which is within
the same shadow stack. This is distinctively different from other pointers
on the shadow stack, since those pointers point to executable code area.
Introduce token setup and verify routines. Also introduce WRUSS, which is
a kernel-mode instruction but writes directly to user shadow stack.
In future patches that enable shadow stack to work with signals, the kernel
will need something to denote the point in the stack where sigreturn may be
called. This will prevent attackers calling sigreturn at arbitrary places
in the stack, in order to help prevent SROP attacks.
To do this, something that can only be written by the kernel needs to be
placed on the shadow stack. This can be accomplished by setting bit 63 in
the frame written to the shadow stack. Userspace return addresses can't
have this bit set as it is in the kernel range. It also can't be a valid
restore token.

When a process is duplicated, but the child shares the address space with
the parent, there is potential for the threads sharing a single stack to
cause conflicts for each other. In the normal non-CET case this is handled
in two ways.
With regular CLONE_VM a new stack is provided by userspace such that the
parent and child have different stacks.
For vfork, the parent is suspended until the child exits. So as long as
the child doesn't return from the vfork()/CLONE_VFORK calling function and
sticks to a limited set of operations, the parent and child can share the
same stack.
For shadow stack, these scenarios present similar sharing problems. For the
CLONE_VM case, the child and the parent must have separate shadow stacks.
Instead of changing clone to take a shadow stack, have the kernel just
allocate one and switch to it.
Use stack_size passed from clone3() syscall for thread shadow stack size. A
compat-mode thread shadow stack size is further reduced to 1/4. This
allows more threads to run in a 32-bit address space. The clone() does not
pass stack_size, which was added to clone3(). In that case, use
RLIMIT_STACK size and cap to 4 GB.
For shadow stack enabled vfork(), the parent and child can share the same
shadow stack, like they can share a normal stack. Since the parent is
suspended until the child terminates, the child will not interfere with
the parent while executing as long as it doesn't return from the vfork()
and overwrite up the shadow stack. The child can safely overwrite down
the shadow stack, as the parent can just overwrite this later. So CET does
not add any additional limitations for vfork().
Free the shadow stack on thread exit by doing it in mm_release(). Skip
this when exiting a vfork() child since the stack is shared in the
parent.
During this operation, the shadow stack pointer of the new thread needs
to be updated to point to the newly allocated shadow stack. Since the
ability to do this is confined to the FPU subsystem, change
fpu_clone() to take the new shadow stack pointer, and update it
internally inside the FPU subsystem. This part was suggested by Thomas
Gleixner.

Introduce basic shadow stack enabling/disabling/allocation routines.
A task's shadow stack is allocated from memory with VM_SHADOW_STACK flag
and has a fixed size of min(RLIMIT_STACK, 4GB).
Keep the task's shadow stack address and size in thread_struct. This will
be copied when cloning new threads, but needs to be cleared during exec,
so add a function to do this.
32 bit shadow stack is not expected to have many users and it will
complicate the signal implementation. So do not support IA32 emulation
or x32.

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.

Just like user xfeatures, supervisor xfeatures can be active in the
registers or present in the task FPU buffer. If the registers are
active, the registers can be modified directly. If the registers are
not active, the modification must be performed on the task FPU buffer.
When the state is not active, the kernel could perform modifications
directly to the buffer. But in order for it to do that, it needs
to know where in the buffer the specific state it wants to modify is
located. Doing this is not robust against optimizations that compact
the FPU buffer, as each access would require computing where in the
buffer it is.
The easiest way to modify supervisor xfeature data is to force restore
the registers and write directly to the MSRs. Often times this is just fine
anyway as the registers need to be restored before returning to userspace.
Do this for now, leaving buffer writing optimizations for the future.
Add a new function fpregs_lock_and_load() that can simultaneously call
fpregs_lock() and do this restore. Also perform some extra sanity
checks in this function since this will be used in non-fpu focused code.

Shadow stack register state can be managed with XSAVE. The registers
can logically be separated into two groups:
* Registers controlling user-mode operation
* Registers controlling kernel-mode operation
The architecture has two new XSAVE state components: one for each group
of those groups of registers. This lets an OS manage them separately if
it chooses. Future patches for host userspace and KVM guests will only
utilize the user-mode registers, so only configure XSAVE to save
user-mode registers. This state will add 16 bytes to the xsave buffer
size.
Future patches will use the user-mode XSAVE area to save guest user-mode
CET state. However, VMCS includes new fields for guest CET supervisor
states. KVM can use these to save and restore guest supervisor state, so
host supervisor XSAVE support is not required.
Adding this exacerbates the already unwieldy if statement in
check_xstate_against_struct() that handles warning about unimplemented
xfeatures. So refactor these check's by having XCHECK_SZ() set a bool when
it actually check's the xfeature. This ends up exceeding 80 chars, but was
better on balance than other options explored. Pass the bool as pointer to
make it clear that XCHECK_SZ() can change the variable.
While configuring user-mode XSAVE, clarify kernel-mode registers are not
managed by XSAVE by defining the xfeature in
XFEATURE_MASK_SUPERVISOR_UNSUPPORTED, like is done for XFEATURE_MASK_PT.
This serves more of a documentation as code purpose, and functionally,
only enables a few safety checks.
Both XSAVE state components are supervisor states, even the state
controlling user-mode operation. This is a departure from earlier features
like protection keys where the PKRU state is a normal user
(non-supervisor) state. Having the user state be supervisor-managed
ensures there is no direct, unprivileged access to it, making it harder
for an attacker to subvert CET.
To facilitate this privileged access, define the two user-mode CET MSRs,
and the bits defined in those MSRs relevant to future shadow stack
enablement patches.

Prohibit probing on the compiler generated CFI typeid checking code
because it is used for decoding typeid when CFI error happens.
The compiler generates the following instruction sequence for indirect
call checks on x86;
movl -<id>, %r10d ; 6 bytes
addl -4(%reg), %r10d ; 4 bytes
je .Ltmp1 ; 2 bytes
ud2 ; <- regs->ip
And handle_cfi_failure() decodes these instructions (movl and addl)
for the typeid and the target address. Thus if we put a kprobe on
those instructions, the decode will fail and report a wrong typeid
and target address.

Some architectures allow partial SMT states at boot time, ie. when not all
SMT threads are brought online.
To support that the SMT code needs to know the maximum number of SMT
threads, and also the currently configured number.
The architecture code knows the max number of threads, so have the
architecture code pass that value to cpu_smt_set_num_threads(). Note that
although topology_max_smt_threads() exists, it is not configured early
enough to be used here. As architecture, like PowerPC, allows the threads
number to be set through the kernel command line, also pass that value.
