x86/speculation/l1tf: Increase l1tf memory limit for Nehalem+

2018-09-05T07:29:51Z

commit cc51e5428ea54f575d49cfcede1d4cb3a72b4ec4 upstream. On Nehalem and newer core CPUs the CPU cache internally uses 44 bits physical address space. The L1TF workaround is limited by this internal cache address width, and needs to have one bit free there for the mitigation to work. Older client systems report only 36bit physical address space so the range check decides that L1TF is not mitigated for a 36bit phys/32GB system with some memory holes. But since these actually have the larger internal cache width this warning is bogus because it would only really be needed if the system had more than 43bits of memory. Add a new internal x86_cache_bits field. Normally it is the same as the physical bits field reported by CPUID, but for Nehalem and newerforce it to be at least 44bits. Change the L1TF memory size warning to use the new cache_bits field to avoid bogus warnings and remove the bogus comment about memory size.

x86/speculation/l1tf: Fix off-by-one error when warning that system has too much RAM

2018-09-05T07:29:48Z

commit b0a182f875689647b014bc01d36b340217792852 upstream. Two users have reported [1] that they have an "extremely unlikely" system with more than MAX_PA/2 memory and L1TF mitigation is not effective. In fact it's a CPU with 36bits phys limit (64GB) and 32GB memory, but due to holes in the e820 map, the main region is almost 500MB over the 32GB limit: [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000081effffff] usable Suggestions to use 'mem=32G' to enable the L1TF mitigation while losing the 500MB revealed, that there's an off-by-one error in the check in l1tf_select_mitigation(). l1tf_pfn_limit() returns the last usable pfn (inclusive) and the range check in the mitigation path does not take this into account. Instead of amending the range check, make l1tf_pfn_limit() return the first PFN which is over the limit which is less error prone. Adjust the other users accordingly.

x86/speculation/l1tf: Fix overflow in l1tf_pfn_limit() on 32bit

2018-09-05T07:29:47Z

commit 9df9516940a61d29aedf4d91b483ca6597e7d480 upstream. On 32bit PAE kernels on 64bit hardware with enough physical bits, l1tf_pfn_limit() will overflow unsigned long. This in turn affects max_swapfile_size() and can lead to swapon returning -EINVAL. This has been observed in a 32bit guest with 42 bits physical address size, where max_swapfile_size() overflows exactly to 1 << 32, thus zero, and produces the following warning to dmesg: [ 6.396845] Truncating oversized swap area, only using 0k out of 2047996k Fix this by using unsigned long long instead.

x86/bugs, kvm: Introduce boot-time control of L1TF mitigations

2018-08-15T15:37:30Z

commit d90a7a0ec83fb86622cd7dae23255d3c50a99ec8 upstream. Introduce the 'l1tf=' kernel command line option to allow for boot-time switching of mitigation that is used on processors affected by L1TF. The possible values are: full Provides all available mitigations for the L1TF vulnerability. Disables SMT and enables all mitigations in the hypervisors. SMT control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot. Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled. full,force Same as 'full', but disables SMT control. Implies the 'nosmt=force' command line option. sysfs control of SMT and the hypervisor flush control is disabled. flush Leaves SMT enabled and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. Hypervisors will issue a warning when the first VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration, i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled. flush,nosmt Disables SMT and enables the conditional hypervisor mitigation. SMT control via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control is still possible after boot. If SMT is reenabled or flushing disabled at runtime hypervisors will issue a warning. flush,nowarn Same as 'flush', but hypervisors will not warn when a VM is started in a potentially insecure configuration. off Disables hypervisor mitigations and doesn't emit any warnings. Default is 'flush'. Let KVM adhere to these semantics, which means: - 'lt1f=full,force' : Performe L1D flushes. No runtime control possible. - 'l1tf=full' - 'l1tf-flush' - 'l1tf=flush,nosmt' : Perform L1D flushes and warn on VM start if SMT has been runtime enabled or L1D flushing has been run-time enabled - 'l1tf=flush,nowarn' : Perform L1D flushes and no warnings are emitted. - 'l1tf=off' : L1D flushes are not performed and no warnings are emitted. KVM can always override the L1D flushing behavior using its 'vmentry_l1d_flush' module parameter except when lt1f=full,force is set. This makes KVM's private 'nosmt' option redundant, and as it is a bit non-systematic anyway (this is something to control globally, not on hypervisor level), remove that option. Add the missing Documentation entry for the l1tf vulnerability sysfs file while at it.

x86/speculation/l1tf: Add sysfs reporting for l1tf

2018-08-15T15:37:25Z

commit 17dbca119312b4e8173d4e25ff64262119fcef38 upstream. L1TF core kernel workarounds are cheap and normally always enabled, However they still should be reported in sysfs if the system is vulnerable or mitigated. Add the necessary CPU feature/bug bits. - Extend the existing checks for Meltdowns to determine if the system is vulnerable. All CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown are also not vulnerable to L1TF - Check for 32bit non PAE and emit a warning as there is no practical way for mitigation due to the limited physical address bits - If the system has more than MAX_PA/2 physical memory the invert page workarounds don't protect the system against the L1TF attack anymore, because an inverted physical address will also point to valid memory. Print a warning in this case and report that the system is vulnerable. Add a function which returns the PFN limit for the L1TF mitigation, which will be used in follow up patches for sanity and range checks.

Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables

2018-06-14T03:21:18Z

The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler supported. That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support directly. HOWEVER. It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file, the sane stack protector configuration would look like CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes, it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would disable it in the new config, resulting in: CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing. The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users). This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes. The end result would generally look like this: CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler infrastructure, not the user selections.
