commit 17fae1294ad9d711b2c3dd0edef479d40c76a5e8 upstream.

An interesting thing happened when a guest Linux instance took a machine
check. The VMM unmapped the bad page from guest physical space and
passed the machine check to the guest.

Linux took all the normal actions to offline the page from the process
that was using it. But then guest Linux crashed because it said there
was a second machine check inside the kernel with this stack trace:

do_memory_failure
    set_mce_nospec
         set_memory_uc
              _set_memory_uc
                   change_page_attr_set_clr
                        cpa_flush
                             clflush_cache_range_opt

This was odd, because a CLFLUSH instruction shouldn't raise a machine
check (it isn't consuming the data). Further investigation showed that
the VMM had passed in another machine check because is appeared that the
guest was accessing the bad page.

Fix is to check the scope of the poison by checking the MCi_MISC register.
If the entire page is affected, then unmap the page. If only part of the
page is affected, then mark the page as uncacheable.

This assumes that VMMs will do the logical thing and pass in the "whole
page scope" via the MCi_MISC register (since they unmapped the entire
page).

commit 4d8df8cbb9156b0a0ab3f802b80cb5db57acc0bf upstream.

Currently, it is possible to enable indirect branch speculation even after
it was force-disabled using the PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE option. Moreover, the
PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL command gives afterwards an incorrect result
(force-disabled when it is in fact enabled). This also is inconsistent
vs. STIBP and the documention which cleary states that
PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE cannot be undone.

Fix this by actually enforcing force-disabled indirect branch
speculation. PR_SPEC_ENABLE called after PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE now fails
with -EPERM as described in the documentation.

<title>x86/speculation: Avoid force-disabling IBPB based on STIBP and enhanced IBRS.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1ed5e163b4ce60387849d77f1bea970e9de89819</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 21998a351512eba4ed5969006f0c55882d995ada upstream.

When STIBP is unavailable or enhanced IBRS is available, Linux
force-disables the IBPB mitigation of Spectre-BTB even when simultaneous
multithreading is disabled. While attempts to enable IBPB using
prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL, PR_SPEC_INDIRECT_BRANCH, ...) fail with
EPERM, the seccomp syscall (or its prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, ...) equivalent)
which are used e.g. by Chromium or OpenSSH succeed with no errors but the
application remains silently vulnerable to cross-process Spectre v2 attacks
(classical BTB poisoning). At the same time the SYSFS reporting
(/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2) displays that IBPB is
conditionally enabled when in fact it is unconditionally disabled.

STIBP is useful only when SMT is enabled. When SMT is disabled and STIBP is
unavailable, it makes no sense to force-disable also IBPB, because IBPB
protects against cross-process Spectre-BTB attacks regardless of the SMT
state. At the same time since missing STIBP was only observed on AMD CPUs,
AMD does not recommend using STIBP, but recommends using IBPB, so disabling
IBPB because of missing STIBP goes directly against AMD's advice:
https://developer.amd.com/wp-content/resources/Architecture_Guidelines_Update_Indirect_Branch_Control.pdf

Similarly, enhanced IBRS is designed to protect cross-core BTB poisoning
and BTB-poisoning attacks from user space against kernel (and
BTB-poisoning attacks from guest against hypervisor), it is not designed
to prevent cross-process (or cross-VM) BTB poisoning between processes (or
VMs) running on the same core. Therefore, even with enhanced IBRS it is
necessary to flush the BTB during context-switches, so there is no reason
to force disable IBPB when enhanced IBRS is available.

Enable the prctl control of IBPB even when STIBP is unavailable or enhanced
IBRS is available.

<title>x86/speculation: Prevent rogue cross-process SSBD shutdown</title>

<content type='text'>
commit dbbe2ad02e9df26e372f38cc3e70dab9222c832e upstream.

On context switch the change of TIF_SSBD and TIF_SPEC_IB are evaluated
to adjust the mitigations accordingly. This is optimized to avoid the
expensive MSR write if not needed.

This optimization is buggy and allows an attacker to shutdown the SSBD
protection of a victim process.

The update logic reads the cached base value for the speculation control
MSR which has neither the SSBD nor the STIBP bit set. It then OR's the
SSBD bit only when TIF_SSBD is different and requests the MSR update.

That means if TIF_SSBD of the previous and next task are the same, then
the base value is not updated, even if TIF_SSBD is set. The MSR write is
not requested.

Subsequently if the TIF_STIBP bit differs then the STIBP bit is updated
in the base value and the MSR is written with a wrong SSBD value.

This was introduced when the per task/process conditional STIPB
switching was added on top of the existing SSBD switching.

It is exploitable if the attacker creates a process which enforces SSBD
and has the contrary value of STIBP than the victim process (i.e. if the
victim process enforces STIBP, the attacker process must not enforce it;
if the victim process does not enforce STIBP, the attacker process must
enforce it) and schedule it on the same core as the victim process. If
the victim runs after the attacker the victim becomes vulnerable to
Spectre V4.

To fix this, update the MSR value independent of the TIF_SSBD difference
and dependent on the SSBD mitigation method available. This ensures that
a subsequent STIPB initiated MSR write has the correct state of SSBD.

<title>x86_64: Fix jiffies ODR violation</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=d507d997cb5301e72750197335c33cda79c016c5'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d507d997cb5301e72750197335c33cda79c016c5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d8ad6d39c35d2b44b3d48b787df7f3359381dcbf upstream.

'jiffies' and 'jiffies_64' are meant to alias (two different symbols that
share the same address).  Most architectures make the symbols alias to the
same address via a linker script assignment in their
arch/&lt;arch&gt;/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S:

jiffies = jiffies_64;

which is effectively a definition of jiffies.

jiffies and jiffies_64 are both forward declared for all architectures in
include/linux/jiffies.h. jiffies_64 is defined in kernel/time/timer.c.

x86_64 was peculiar in that it wasn't doing the above linker script
assignment, but rather was:
1. defining jiffies in arch/x86/kernel/time.c instead via the linker script.
2. overriding the symbol jiffies_64 from kernel/time/timer.c in
arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s via 'jiffies_64 = jiffies;'.

As Fangrui notes:

  In LLD, symbol assignments in linker scripts override definitions in
  object files. GNU ld appears to have the same behavior. It would
  probably make sense for LLD to error "duplicate symbol" but GNU ld
  is unlikely to adopt for compatibility reasons.

This results in an ODR violation (UB), which seems to have survived
thus far. Where it becomes harmful is when;

1. -fno-semantic-interposition is used:

As Fangrui notes:

  Clang after LLVM commit 5b22bcc2b70d
  ("[X86][ELF] Prefer to lower MC_GlobalAddress operands to .Lfoo$local")
  defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition similar semantics which help
  -fpic/-fPIC code avoid GOT/PLT when the referenced symbol is defined
  within the same translation unit. Unlike GCC
  -fno-semantic-interposition, Clang emits such relocations referencing
  local symbols for non-pic code as well.

This causes references to jiffies to refer to '.Ljiffies$local' when
jiffies is defined in the same translation unit. Likewise, references to
jiffies_64 become references to '.Ljiffies_64$local' in translation units
that define jiffies_64.  Because these differ from the names used in the
linker script, they will not be rewritten to alias one another.

2. Full LTO

Full LTO effectively treats all source files as one translation
unit, causing these local references to be produced everywhere.  When
the linker processes the linker script, there are no longer any
references to jiffies_64' anywhere to replace with 'jiffies'.  And
thus '.Ljiffies$local' and '.Ljiffies_64$local' no longer alias
at all.

In the process of porting patches enabling Full LTO from arm64 to x86_64,
spooky bugs have been observed where the kernel appeared to boot, but init
doesn't get scheduled.

Avoid the ODR violation by matching other architectures and define jiffies
only by linker script.  For -fno-semantic-interposition + Full LTO, there
is no longer a global definition of jiffies for the compiler to produce a
local symbol which the linker script won't ensure aliases to jiffies_64.

mistakenly added erratum #1054 as an OS Visible Workaround (OSVW) ID 0.
Erratum #1054 is not OSVW ID 0 [1], so make it a legacy erratum.

There would never have been a false positive on older hardware that
has OSVW bit 0 set, since the IRPERF feature was not available.

However, save a couple of RDMSR executions per thread, on modern
system configurations that correctly set non-zero values in their

<content type='text'>
commit 7e5b3c267d256822407a22fdce6afdf9cd13f9fb upstream

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the
random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode
serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and
RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is
released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation
is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the
cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it
increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other
effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using
  either mitigations=off or srbds=off.

* Export vulnerability status via sysfs

* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.
