x86/cpu: Fix AMD erratum #1485 on Zen4-based CPUs

2023-10-25T09:13:31Z

commit f454b18e07f518bcd0c05af17a2239138bff52de upstream. Fix erratum #1485 on Zen4 parts where running with STIBP disabled can cause an #UD exception. The performance impact of the fix is negligible.

x86: fix backwards merge of GDS/SRSO bit

2023-08-08T17:48:25Z

Stable-tree-only change. Due to the way the GDS and SRSO patches flowed into the stable tree, it was a 50% chance that the merge of the which value GDS and SRSO should be. Of course, I lost that bet, and chose the opposite of what Linus chose in commit 64094e7e3118 ("Merge tag 'gds-for-linus-2023-08-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip") Fix this up by switching the values to match what is now in Linus's tree as that is the correct value to mirror.

KVM: Add GDS_NO support to KVM

2023-08-08T17:48:25Z

commit 81ac7e5d741742d650b4ed6186c4826c1a0631a7 upstream Gather Data Sampling (GDS) is a transient execution attack using gather instructions from the AVX2 and AVX512 extensions. This attack allows malicious code to infer data that was previously stored in vector registers. Systems that are not vulnerable to GDS will set the GDS_NO bit of the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR. This is useful for VM guests that may think they are on vulnerable systems that are, in fact, not affected. Guests that are running on affected hosts where the mitigation is enabled are protected as if they were running on an unaffected system. On all hosts that are not affected or that are mitigated, set the GDS_NO bit.

x86/speculation: Add Kconfig option for GDS

2023-08-08T17:48:25Z

commit 53cf5797f114ba2bd86d23a862302119848eff19 upstream Gather Data Sampling (GDS) is mitigated in microcode. However, on systems that haven't received the updated microcode, disabling AVX can act as a mitigation. Add a Kconfig option that uses the microcode mitigation if available and disables AVX otherwise. Setting this option has no effect on systems not affected by GDS. This is the equivalent of setting gather_data_sampling=force.

x86/speculation: Add force option to GDS mitigation

2023-08-08T17:48:25Z

commit 553a5c03e90a6087e88f8ff878335ef0621536fb upstream The Gather Data Sampling (GDS) vulnerability allows malicious software to infer stale data previously stored in vector registers. This may include sensitive data such as cryptographic keys. GDS is mitigated in microcode, and systems with up-to-date microcode are protected by default. However, any affected system that is running with older microcode will still be vulnerable to GDS attacks. Since the gather instructions used by the attacker are part of the AVX2 and AVX512 extensions, disabling these extensions prevents gather instructions from being executed, thereby mitigating the system from GDS. Disabling AVX2 is sufficient, but we don't have the granularity to do this. The XCR0[2] disables AVX, with no option to just disable AVX2. Add a kernel parameter gather_data_sampling=force that will enable the microcode mitigation if available, otherwise it will disable AVX on affected systems. This option will be ignored if cmdline mitigations=off. This is a *big* hammer. It is known to break buggy userspace that uses incomplete, buggy AVX enumeration. Unfortunately, such userspace does exist in the wild: https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-coreutils@gnu.org/msg33046.html [ dhansen: add some more ominous warnings about disabling AVX ] Signed-off-by: Daniel Sneddon Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Daniel Sneddon Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86/speculation: Add Gather Data Sampling mitigation

2023-08-08T17:48:24Z

commit 8974eb588283b7d44a7c91fa09fcbaf380339f3a upstream Gather Data Sampling (GDS) is a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which was previously stored in vector registers. Intel processors that support AVX2 and AVX512 have gather instructions that fetch non-contiguous data elements from memory. On vulnerable hardware, when a gather instruction is transiently executed and encounters a fault, stale data from architectural or internal vector registers may get transiently stored to the destination vector register allowing an attacker to infer the stale data using typical side channel techniques like cache timing attacks. This mitigation is different from many earlier ones for two reasons. First, it is enabled by default and a bit must be set to *DISABLE* it. This is the opposite of normal mitigation polarity. This means GDS can be mitigated simply by updating microcode and leaving the new control bit alone. Second, GDS has a "lock" bit. This lock bit is there because the mitigation affects the hardware security features KeyLocker and SGX. It needs to be enabled and *STAY* enabled for these features to be mitigated against GDS. The mitigation is enabled in the microcode by default. Disable it by setting gather_data_sampling=off or by disabling all mitigations with mitigations=off.

x86/fpu: Move FPU initialization into arch_cpu_finalize_init()

2023-08-08T17:48:24Z

commit b81fac906a8f9e682e513ddd95697ec7a20878d4 upstream Initializing the FPU during the early boot process is a pointless exercise. Early boot is convoluted and fragile enough. Nothing requires that the FPU is set up early. It has to be initialized before fork_init() because the task_struct size depends on the FPU register buffer size. Move the initialization to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which is the perfect place to do so. No functional change. This allows to remove quite some of the custom early command line parsing, but that's subject to the next installment.
