<id>urn:sha1:a0d14b8909de55139b8702fe0c7e80b69763dcfb</id>
<content type='text'>
Despite the current efforts to read CR2 before tracing happens there still
exist a number of possible holes:

  idtentry page_fault             do_page_fault           has_error_code=1
    call error_entry
      TRACE_IRQS_OFF
        call trace_hardirqs_off*
          #PF // modifies CR2

      CALL_enter_from_user_mode
        __context_tracking_exit()
          trace_user_exit(0)
            #PF // modifies CR2

    call do_page_fault
      address = read_cr2(); /* whoopsie */

And similar for i386.

Fix it by pulling the CR2 read into the entry code, before any of that
stuff gets a chance to run and ruin things.

<title>signal: Remove the task parameter from force_sig_fault</title>

<content type='text'>
As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:

force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
-&gt;
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

<content type='text'>
Update the calls of force_sig_fault that pass in a variable that is
set to current earlier to explicitly use current.

This is to make the next change that removes the task parameter
from force_sig_fault easier to verify.

<content type='text'>
The send_sigtrap function is always called with task == current.  Make
that explicit by removing the task parameter.

This also makes it clear that the x86 send_sigtrap passes current
into force_sig_fault.

All of the remaining callers pass current into force_sig so
remove the task parameter to make this obvious and to make
misuse more difficult in the future.

This also makes it clear force_sig passes current into force_sig_info.

The double fault ESPFIX path doesn't return to user mode at all --
it returns back to the kernel by simulating a #GP fault.
prepare_exit_to_usermode() will run on the way out of
general_protection before running user code.

Pull x86 MDS mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) is a hardware vulnerability
  which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is
  available in various CPU internal buffers. This new set of misfeatures
  has the following CVEs assigned:

     CVE-2018-12126  MSBDS  Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling
     CVE-2018-12130  MFBDS  Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling
     CVE-2018-12127  MLPDS  Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling
     CVE-2019-11091  MDSUM  Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory

  MDS attacks target microarchitectural buffers which speculatively
  forward data under certain conditions. Disclosure gadgets can expose
  this data via cache side channels.

  Contrary to other speculation based vulnerabilities the MDS
  vulnerability does not allow the attacker to control the memory target
  address. As a consequence the attacks are purely sampling based, but
  as demonstrated with the TLBleed attack samples can be postprocessed
  successfully.

  The mitigation is to flush the microarchitectural buffers on return to
  user space and before entering a VM. It's bolted on the VERW
  instruction and requires a microcode update. As some of the attacks
  exploit data structures shared between hyperthreads, full protection
  requires to disable hyperthreading. The kernel does not do that by
  default to avoid breaking unattended updates.

  The mitigation set comes with documentation for administrators and a
  deeper technical view"

<title>x86/fpu: Use a feature number instead of mask in two more helpers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:abd16d68d65229e5acafdadc32704239131bf2ea</id>
<content type='text'>
After changing the argument of __raw_xsave_addr() from a mask to
number Dave suggested to check if it makes sense to do the same for
get_xsave_addr(). As it turns out it does.

Only get_xsave_addr() needs the mask to check if the requested feature
is part of what is supported/saved and then uses the number again. The
shift operation is cheaper compared to fls64() (find last bit set).
Also, the feature number uses less opcode space compared to the mask. :)

Make the get_xsave_addr() argument a xfeature number instead of a mask
and fix up its callers.

Furthermore, use xfeature_nr and xfeature_mask consistently.

This results in the following changes to the kvm code:

  feature -&gt; xfeature_mask
  index -&gt; xfeature_nr

Add a static key which controls the invocation of the CPU buffer clear
mechanism on exit to user space and add the call into
prepare_exit_to_usermode() and do_nmi() right before actually returning.

Add documentation which kernel to user space transition this covers and
explain why some corner cases are not mitigated.
