[PATCH 0/4] Speculation control improvements

[PATCH 0/4] Speculation control improvements

[David Woodhouse]

A revised version of the dropped IBRS-firmware patch which now just
ignores the horrid hpwdt driver completely, and explicitly disables
preemption while IBRS is set.

Revised version of the IBRS_ALL patch with a typo fixed, revert another
broken bikeshedding patch, and add support for retpoline builds with
clang now that clang is fixed.

David Woodhouse (4):
  x86/speculation: Use IBRS if available before calling into firmware
  x86/speculation: Support "Enhanced IBRS" on future CPUs
  Revert "x86/retpoline: Simplify vmexit_fill_RSB()"
  x86/retpoline: Support retpoline build with Clang

[PATCH 1/4] x86/speculation: Use IBRS if available before calling into firmware

[David Woodhouse]

Retpoline means the kernel is safe because it has no indirect branches.
But firmware isn't, so use IBRS for firmware calls if it's available.

Block preemption while IBRS is set, although in practice the call sites
already had to be doing that.

Ignore hpwdt.c for now. It's taking spinlocks and calling into firmware
code, from an NMI handler. I don't want to touch that with a bargepole.

Shouldn't these writes to the MSR be just for the IBRS bit?  The spec
also defines the STIBP bit for this MSR, and if that bit had been set by
BIOS for example, these writes will clear it.  And who knows what future
bits may be defined and how they'll be used.

Thanks,
Tom

We don't use STIBP. If one day we do decide to set it in userspace for
"sensitive" processes, if we're done having the debate about what those
are, then that seems unlikely to conflict what what this code is doing
anyway, as we would presumably *clear* it again on the way back into
the kernel.

I certainly don't want to add a read/modify/write cycle here just to
cope with some hypothetical future use case for STIBP, when there would
be better ways to cope.

Right, I understand the kernel doesn't use STIBP, that's why I mentioned
BIOS as an example.

Right, definitely to be avoided.  Maybe the value could be tracked in a
per-cpu variable so you never have to read it before the write.  Just
change the bit in question and write.  Not sure that's really feasible
though.

Just putting it out there, no worries.

BIOS has no business setting this for us either. Either we support it
and turn it on in the kernel ourselves, or it's off.

[PATCH 2/4] x86/speculation: Support "Enhanced IBRS" on future CPUs

[David Woodhouse]

The original IBRS hack in microcode is horribly slow. For the next
generation of CPUs, as a stopgap until we get a proper fix, Intel
promise an "Enhanced IBRS" which will be fast.

The assumption is that predictions in the BTB/RSB will be tagged with
the VMX mode and ring that they were learned in, and thus the CPU will
avoid consuming unsafe predictions without a performance penalty.

Intel's documentation says that it is still required to set the IBRS bit
in the SPEC_CTRL MSR and ensure that it remains set.

Cope with this by trapping and emulating *all* access to SPEC_CTRL from
KVM guests when the IBRS_ALL feature is present, so it can never be
turned off. Guests who see IBRS_ALL should never do anything except
turn it on at boot anyway. And if they didn't know about IBRS_ALL and
they keep frobbing IBRS on every kernel entry/exit... well the vmexit
for a no-op is probably going to be faster than they were expecting
anyway, so they'll live.

[PATCH 3/4] Revert "x86/retpoline: Simplify vmexit_fill_RSB()"

[David Woodhouse]

This reverts commit 1dde7415e99933bb7293d6b2843752cbdb43ec11. By putting
the RSB filling out of line and calling it, we waste one RSB slot for
returning from the function itself, which means one fewer actual function
call we can make if we're doing the Skylake abomination of call-depth
counting.

It also changed the number of RSB stuffings we do on vmexit from 32,
which was correct, to 16. Let's just stop with the bikeshedding; it
didn't actually *fix* anything anyway.
