Pull more x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Remove a bunch of asm implementing condition flags testing in KVM's
emulator in favor of int3_emulate_jcc() which is written in C
- Replace KVM fastops with C-based stubs which avoids problems with the
fastop infra related to latter not adhering to the C ABI due to their
special calling convention and, more importantly, bypassing compiler
control-flow integrity checking because they're written in asm
- Remove wrongly used static branches and other ugliness accumulated
over time in hyperv's hypercall implementation with a proper static
function call to the correct hypervisor call variant
- Add some fixes and modifications to allow running FRED-enabled
kernels in KVM even on non-FRED hardware
- Add kCFI improvements like validating indirect calls and prepare for
enabling kCFI with GCC. Add cmdline params documentation and other
code cleanups
- Use the single-byte 0xd6 insn as the official #UD single-byte
undefined opcode instruction as agreed upon by both x86 vendors
- Other smaller cleanups and touchups all over the place

The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).
Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

A while ago [0] FineIBT started using the 0xEA instruction to raise #UD.
All existing parts will generate #UD in 64bit mode on that instruction.
However; Intel/AMD have not blessed using this instruction, it is on
their 'reserved' opcode list for future use.
Peter Anvin worked the committees and got use of 0xD6 blessed, it
shall be called UDB (per the next SDM or so), and it being a single
byte instruction is easy to slip into a single byte immediate -- as
is done by this very patch.
Reworking the FineIBT code to use UDB wasn't entirely trivial. Notably
the FineIBT-BHI1 case ran out of bytes. In order to condense the
encoding some it was required to move the hash register from R10D to
EAX (thanks hpa!).
Per the x86_64 ABI, RAX is used to pass the number of vector registers
for vararg function calls -- something that should not happen in the
kernel. More so, the kernel is built with -mskip-rax-setup, which
should leave RAX completely unused, allowing its re-use.
[ For BPF; while the bpf2bpf tail-call uses RAX in its calling
convention, that does not use CFI and is unaffected. Only the
'regular' C->BPF transition is covered by CFI. ]
The ENDBR poison value is changed from 'OSP NOP3' to 'NOPL -42(%RAX)',
this is basically NOP4 but with UDB as its immediate. As such it is
still a non-standard NOP value unique to prior ENDBR sites, but now
also provides UDB.
Per Agner Fog's optimization guide, Jcc is assumed not-taken. That is,
the expected path should be the fallthrough case for improved
throughput.
Since the preamble now relies on the ENDBR poison to provide UDB, the
code is changed to write the poison right along with the initial
preamble -- this is possible because the ITS mitigation already
disabled IBT over rewriting the CFI scheme.
The scheme in detail:
Preamble:
FineIBT FineIBT-BHI1 FineIBT-BHI
__cfi_\func: __cfi_\func: __cfi_\func:
endbr endbr endbr
subl $0x12345678, %eax subl $0x12345678, %eax subl $0x12345678, %eax
jne.d32,np \func+3 cmovne %rax, %rdi cs cs call __bhi_args_N
jne.d8,np \func+3
\func: \func: \func:
nopl -42(%rax) nopl -42(%rax) nopl -42(%rax)
Notably there are 7 bytes available after the SUBL; this enables the
BHI1 case to fit without the nasty overlapping case it had previously.
The !BHI case uses Jcc.d32,np to consume all 7 bytes without the need
for an additional NOP, while the BHI case uses CS padding to align the
CALL with the end of the preamble such that it returns to \func+0.
Caller:
FineIBT Paranoid-FineIBT
fineibt_caller: fineibt_caller:
mov $0x12345678, %eax mov $0x12345678, %eax
lea -10(%r11), %r11 cmp -0x11(%r11), %eax
nop5 cs lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
retpoline: retpoline:
cs call __x86_indirect_thunk_r11 jne fineibt_caller+0xd
call *%r11
nop
Notably this is before apply_retpolines() which will fix up the
retpoline call -- since all parts with IBT also have eIBRS (lets
ignore ITS). Typically the retpoline site is rewritten (when still
intact) into:
call *%r11
nop3

While WAIT_FOR_ENDBR is specified to be a full speculation stop; it
has been shown that some implementations are 'leaky' to such an extend
that speculation can escape even the FineIBT preamble.
To deal with this, add additional hardening to the FineIBT preamble.
Notably, using a new LLVM feature:
e223485c9b
which encodes the number of arguments in the kCFI preamble's register.
Using this register<->arity mapping, have the FineIBT preamble CALL
into a stub clobbering the relevant argument registers in the
speculative case.
Scott sayeth thusly:
Microarchitectural attacks such as Branch History Injection (BHI) and
Intra-mode Branch Target Injection (IMBTI) [1] can cause an indirect
call to mispredict to an adversary-influenced target within the same
hardware domain (e.g., within the kernel). Instructions at the
mispredicted target may execute speculatively and potentially expose
kernel data (e.g., to a user-mode adversary) through a
microarchitectural covert channel such as CPU cache state.
CET-IBT [2] is a coarse-grained control-flow integrity (CFI) ISA
extension that enforces that each indirect call (or indirect jump)
must land on an ENDBR (end branch) instruction, even speculatively*.
FineIBT is a software technique that refines CET-IBT by associating
each function type with a 32-bit hash and enforcing (at the callee)
that the hash of the caller's function pointer type matches the hash
of the callee's function type. However, recent research [3] has
demonstrated that the conditional branch that enforces FineIBT's hash
check can be coerced to mispredict, potentially allowing an adversary
to speculatively bypass the hash check:
__cfi_foo:
ENDBR64
SUB R10d, 0x01234567
JZ foo # Even if the hash check fails and ZF=0, this branch could still mispredict as taken
UD2
foo:
...
The techniques demonstrated in [3] require the attacker to be able to
control the contents of at least one live register at the mispredicted
target. Therefore, this patch set introduces a sequence of CMOV
instructions at each indirect-callable target that poisons every live
register with data that the attacker cannot control whenever the
FineIBT hash check fails, thus mitigating any potential attack.
The security provided by this scheme has been discussed in detail on
an earlier thread [4].

Add an array of code thunks, to be called from the FineIBT preamble,
clobbering the first 'n' argument registers for speculative execution.
Notably the 0th entry will clobber no argument registers and will never
be used, it exists so the array can be naturally indexed, while the 7th
entry will clobber all the 6 argument registers and also RSP in order to
mess up stack based arguments.

Since FineIBT performs checking at the destination, it is weaker against
attacks that can construct arbitrary executable memory contents. As such,
some system builders want to run with FineIBT disabled by default. Allow
the "cfi=kcfi" boot param mode to be selectable through Kconfig via the
newly introduced CONFIG_CFI_AUTO_DEFAULT.

BPF struct_ops uses __arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() to write
trampolines for indirect function calls. These tramplines much have
matching CFI.
In order to obtain the correct CFI hash for the various methods, add a
matching structure that contains stub functions, the compiler will
generate correct CFI which we can pilfer for the trampolines.

The current BPF call convention is __nocfi, except when it calls !JIT things,
then it calls regular C functions.
It so happens that with FineIBT the __nocfi and C calling conventions are
incompatible. Specifically __nocfi will call at func+0, while FineIBT will have
endbr-poison there, which is not a valid indirect target. Causing #CP.
Notably this only triggers on IBT enabled hardware, which is probably why this
hasn't been reported (also, most people will have JIT on anyway).
Implement proper CFI prologues for the BPF JIT codegen and drop __nocfi for
x86.
