powerpc/32: Include .branch_lt in data section

2023-09-23T08:47:59Z

commit 98ecc6768e8fdba95da1fc1efa0ef2d769e7fe1c upstream. When building a 32 bit powerpc kernel with Binutils 2.31.1 this warning is emitted: powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.branch_lt' from `arch/powerpc/kernel/head_44x.o' being placed in section `.branch_lt' As of binutils commit 2d7ad24e8726 ("Support PLT16 relocs against local symbols")[1], 32 bit targets can produce .branch_lt sections in their output. Include these symbols in the .data section as the ppc64 kernel does.

vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation

2021-03-24T10:07:31Z

From: Thomas Gleixner commit 6553896666433e7efec589838b400a2a652b3ffa upstream. Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected against instrumentation for various reasons: - Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86. - With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it. Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling that no unsafe functions are invoked. Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check later. Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end() These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls into regular instrumentable text section as safe. The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a kernel compiled with this option.

powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses

2020-11-22T09:02:26Z

commit 9a32a7e78bd0cd9a9b6332cbdc345ee5ffd0c5de upstream. IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked. However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass "kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an attack. This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege boundaries of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses. This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

powerpc/fsl: Add infrastructure to fixup branch predictor flush

2019-04-03T04:26:19Z

commit 76a5eaa38b15dda92cd6964248c39b5a6f3a4e9d upstream. In order to protect against speculation attacks (Spectre variant 2) on NXP PowerPC platforms, the branch predictor should be flushed when the privillege level is changed. This patch is adding the infrastructure to fixup at runtime the code sections that are performing the branch predictor flush depending on a boot arg parameter which is added later in a separate patch.

And many other small improvements & fixes. There's a few out-of-area changes. Some minor ftrace changes OK'ed by Steve, and a fix to our powernv cpuidle driver. Then there's a series touching mm, x86 and fs/proc/task_mmu.c, which cleans up some details around pkey support. It was ack'ed/reviewed by Ingo & Dave and has been in next for several weeks.
