PKRU is currently partly XSAVE-managed and partly not. It has space
in the task XSAVE buffer and is context-switched by XSAVE/XRSTOR.
However, it is switched more eagerly than FPU because there may be a
need for PKRU to be up-to-date for things like copy_to/from_user() since
PKRU affects user-permission memory accesses, not just accesses from
userspace itself.
This leaves PKRU in a very odd position. XSAVE brings very little value
to the table for how Linux uses PKRU except for signal related XSTATE
handling.
Prepare to move PKRU away from being XSAVE-managed. Allocate space in
the thread_struct for it and save/restore it in the context-switch path
separately from the XSAVE-managed features. task->thread_struct.pkru
is only valid when the task is scheduled out. For the current task the
authoritative source is the hardware, i.e. it has to be retrieved via
rdpkru().
Leave the XSAVE code in place for now to ensure bisectability.

fpu__clear() currently resets both register state and kernel XSAVE buffer
state. It has two modes: one for all state (supervisor and user) and
another for user state only. fpu__clear_all() uses the "all state"
(user_only=0) mode, while a number of signal paths use the user_only=1
mode.
Make fpu__clear() work only for user state (user_only=1) and remove the
"all state" (user_only=0) code. Rename it to match so it can be used by
the signal paths.
Replace the "all state" (user_only=0) fpu__clear() functionality. Use the
TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD functionality instead of making any actual hardware
registers changes in this path.
Instead of invoking fpu__initialize() just memcpy() init_fpstate into the
task's FPU state because that has already the correct format and in case of
PKRU also contains the default PKRU value. Move the actual PKRU write out
into flush_thread() where it belongs and where it will end up anyway when
PKRU and XSTATE have been untangled.
For bisectability a workaround is required which stores the PKRU value in
the xstate memory until PKRU is untangled from XSTATE for context
switching and return to user.

Both function names are a misnomer.
fpu__save() is actually about synchronizing the hardware register state
into the task's memory state so that either coredump or a math exception
handler can inspect the state at the time where the problem happens.
The function guarantees to preserve the register state, while "save" is a
common terminology for saving the current state so it can be modified and
restored later. This is clearly not the case here.
Rename it to fpu_sync_fpstate().
fpu__copy() is used to clone the current task's FPU state when duplicating
task_struct. While the register state is a copy the rest of the FPU state
is not.
Name it accordingly and remove the really pointless @src argument along
with the warning which comes along with it.
Nothing can ever copy the FPU state of a non-current task. It's clearly
just a consequence of arch_dup_task_struct(), but it makes no sense to
proliferate that further.

As io_threads are fully set up USER threads it's clearer to separate the
code path from the KTHREAD logic.
The only remaining difference to user space threads is that io_threads
never return to user space again. Instead they loop within the given
worker function.
The fact that they never return to user space means they don't have an
user space thread stack. In order to indicate that to tools like gdb we
reset the stack and instruction pointers to 0.
This allows gdb attach to user space processes using io-uring, which like
means that they have io_threads, without printing worrying message like
this:

cpu_current_top_of_stack is currently stored in TSS.sp1. TSS is exposed
through the cpu_entry_area which is visible with user CR3 when PTI is
enabled and active.
This makes it a coveted fruit for attackers. An attacker can fetch the
kernel stack top from it and continue next steps of actions based on the
kernel stack.
But it is actualy not necessary to be stored in the TSS. It is only
accessed after the entry code switched to kernel CR3 and kernel GS_BASE
which means it can be in any regular percpu variable.
The reason why it is in TSS is historical (pre PTI) because TSS is also
used as scratch space in SYSCALL_64 and therefore cache hot.
A syscall also needs the per CPU variable current_task and eventually
__preempt_count, so placing cpu_current_top_of_stack next to them makes it
likely that they end up in the same cache line which should avoid
performance regressions. This is not enforced as the compiler is free to
place these variables, so these entry relevant variables should move into
a data structure to make this enforceable.
The seccomp_benchmark doesn't show any performance loss in the "getpid
native" test result. Actually, the result changes from 93ns before to 92ns
with this change when KPTI is disabled. The test is very stable and
although the test doesn't show a higher degree of precision it gives enough
confidence that moving cpu_current_top_of_stack does not cause a
regression.

There have been some reports of "bad bp value" warnings printed by the
frame pointer unwinder:
WARNING: kernel stack regs at 000000005bac7112 in sh:1014 has bad 'bp' value 0000000000000000
This warning happens when unwinding from an interrupt in
ret_from_fork(). If entry code gets interrupted, the state of the
frame pointer (rbp) may be undefined, which can confuse the unwinder,
resulting in warnings like the above.
There's an in_entry_code() check which normally silences such
warnings for entry code. But in this case, ret_from_fork() is getting
interrupted. It recently got moved out of .entry.text, so the
in_entry_code() check no longer works.
It could be moved back into .entry.text, but that would break the
noinstr validation because of the call to schedule_tail().
Instead, initialize each new task's RBP to point to the task's entry
regs via an encoded frame pointer. That will allow the unwinder to
reach the end of the stack gracefully.

this has been brought into a shape which is maintainable and actually
works.
This final version was done by Sasha Levin who took it up after Intel
dropped the ball. Sasha discovered that the SGX (sic!) offerings out there
ship rogue kernel modules enabling FSGSBASE behind the kernels back which
opens an instantanious unpriviledged root hole.
The FSGSBASE instructions provide a considerable speedup of the context
switch path and enable user space to write GSBASE without kernel
interaction. This enablement requires careful handling of the exception
entries which go through the paranoid entry path as they cannot longer rely
on the assumption that user GSBASE is positive (as enforced via prctl() on
non FSGSBASE enabled systemn). All other entries (syscalls, interrupts and
exceptions) can still just utilize SWAPGS unconditionally when the entry
comes from user space. Converting these entries to use FSGSBASE has no
benefit as SWAPGS is only marginally slower than WRGSBASE and locating and
retrieving the kernel GSBASE value is not a free operation either. The real
benefit of RD/WRGSBASE is the avoidance of the MSR reads and writes.
The changes come with appropriate selftests and have held up in field
testing against the (sanitized) Graphene-SGX driver.

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
"This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
{kernel_}clone_args.
High-level this does two main things:
- Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.
Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
kernel_clone_args.
- Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.
This switches all remaining architectures to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
has a copy_thread_tls() function.
The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention.
After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
_do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
function to exist.).
The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
probably well-known - somewhat odd:
#
# ABI hall of shame
#
config CLONE_BACKWARDS
config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
config CLONE_BACKWARDS3
that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.
So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
conventions...)
Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
mind).
Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.
Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
people yell if I broke something there.
All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
-x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
hands on a useable image"

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.

In the copy_process() routine called by _do_fork(), failure to allocate
a PID (or further along in the function) will trigger an invocation to
exit_thread(). This is done to clean up from an earlier call to
copy_thread_tls(). Naturally, the child task is passed into exit_thread(),
however during the process, io_bitmap_exit() nullifies the parent's
io_bitmap rather than the child's.
As copy_thread_tls() has been called ahead of the failure, the reference
count on the calling thread's io_bitmap is incremented as we would expect.
However, io_bitmap_exit() doesn't accept any arguments, and thus assumes
it should trash the current thread's io_bitmap reference rather than the
child's. This is pretty sneaky in practice, because in all instances but
this one, exit_thread() is called with respect to the current task and
everything works out.
A determined attacker can issue an appropriate ioctl (i.e. KDENABIO) to
get a bitmap allocated, and force a clone3() syscall to fail by passing
in a zeroed clone_args structure. The kernel handles the erroneous struct
and the buggy code path is followed, and even though the parent's reference
to the io_bitmap is trashed, the child still holds a reference and thus
the structure will never be freed.
Fix this by tweaking io_bitmap_exit() and its subroutines to accept a
task_struct argument which to operate on.

Pull x86 entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Convert the 32bit syscalls to be pt_regs based which removes the
requirement to push all 6 potential arguments onto the stack and
consolidates the interface with the 64bit variant
- The first small portion of the exception and syscall related entry
code consolidation which aims to address the recently discovered
issues vs. RCU, int3, NMI and some other exceptions which can
interrupt any context. The bulk of the changes is still work in
progress and aimed for 5.8.
- A few lockdep namespace cleanups which have been applied into this
branch to keep the prerequisites for the ongoing work confined.

Commit 111e7b15cf10f6 ("x86/ioperm: Extend IOPL config to control ioperm()
as well") reworked the iopl syscall to use I/O bitmaps.
Unfortunately this broke Xen PV domains using that syscall as there is
currently no I/O bitmap support in PV domains.
Add I/O bitmap support via a new paravirt function update_io_bitmap which
Xen PV domains can use to update their I/O bitmaps via a hypercall.

A split-lock occurs when an atomic instruction operates on data that spans
two cache lines. In order to maintain atomicity the core takes a global bus
lock.
This is typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a
cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait
for the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can
complete). For real-time systems this may mean missing deadlines. For other
systems it may just be very annoying.
Some CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when a split lock is
attempted.
Provide a command line option to give the user choices on how to handle
this:
split_lock_detect=
off - not enabled (no traps for split locks)
warn - warn once when an application does a
split lock, but allow it to continue
running.
fatal - Send SIGBUS to applications that cause split lock
On systems that support split lock detection the default is "warn". Note
that if the kernel hits a split lock in any mode other than "off" it will
OOPs.
One implementation wrinkle is that the MSR to control the split lock
detection is per-core, not per thread. This might result in some short
lived races on HT systems in "warn" mode if Linux tries to enable on one
thread while disabling on the other. Race analysis by Sean Christopherson:
- Toggling of split-lock is only done in "warn" mode. Worst case
scenario of a race is that a misbehaving task will generate multiple
#AC exceptions on the same instruction. And this race will only occur
if both siblings are running tasks that generate split-lock #ACs, e.g.
a race where sibling threads are writing different values will only
occur if CPUx is disabling split-lock after an #AC and CPUy is
re-enabling split-lock after *its* previous task generated an #AC.
- Transitioning between off/warn/fatal modes at runtime isn't supported
and disabling is tracked per task, so hardware will always reach a steady
state that matches the configured mode. I.e. split-lock is guaranteed to
be enabled in hardware once all _TIF_SLD threads have been scheduled out.

The access to the full I/O port range can be also provided by the TSS I/O
bitmap, but that would require to copy 8k of data on scheduling in the
task. As shown with the sched out optimization TSS.io_bitmap_base can be
used to switch the incoming task to a preallocated I/O bitmap which has all
bits zero, i.e. allows access to all I/O ports.
Implementing this allows to provide an iopl() emulation mode which restricts
the IOPL level 3 permissions to I/O port access but removes the STI/CLI
permission which is coming with the hardware IOPL mechansim.
Provide a config option to switch IOPL to emulation mode, make it the
default and while at it also provide an option to disable IOPL completely.

The I/O bitmap is duplicated on fork. That's wasting memory and slows down
fork. There is no point to do so. As long as the bitmap is not modified it
can be shared between threads and processes.
Add a refcount and just share it on fork. If a task modifies the bitmap
then it has to do the duplication if and only if it is shared.

If ioperm() results in a bitmap with all bits set (no permissions to any
I/O port), then handling that bitmap on context switch and exit to user
mode is pointless. Drop it.
Move the bitmap exit handling to the ioport code and reuse it for both the
thread exit path and dropping it. This allows to reuse this code for the
upcoming iopl() emulation.

There is no point to update the TSS bitmap for tasks which use I/O bitmaps
on every context switch. It's enough to update it right before exiting to
user space.
That reduces the context switch bitmap handling to invalidating the io
bitmap base offset in the TSS when the outgoing task has TIF_IO_BITMAP
set. The invaldiation is done on purpose when a task with an IO bitmap
switches out to prevent any possible leakage of an activated IO bitmap.
It also removes the requirement to update the tasks bitmap atomically in
ioperm().

Add a globally unique sequence number which is incremented when ioperm() is
changing the I/O bitmap of a task. Store the new sequence number in the
io_bitmap structure and compare it with the sequence number of the I/O
bitmap which was last loaded on a CPU. Only update the bitmap if the
sequence is different.
That should further reduce the overhead of I/O bitmap scheduling when there
are only a few I/O bitmap users on the system.
The 64bit sequence counter is sufficient. A wraparound of the sequence
counter assuming an ioperm() call every nanosecond would require about 584
years of uptime.

There is no requirement to update the TSS I/O bitmap when a thread using it is
scheduled out and the incoming thread does not use it.
For the permission check based on the TSS I/O bitmap the CPU calculates the memory
location of the I/O bitmap by the address of the TSS and the io_bitmap_base member
of the tss_struct. The easiest way to invalidate the I/O bitmap is to switch the
offset to an address outside of the TSS limit.
If an I/O instruction is issued from user space the TSS limit causes #GP to be
raised in the same was as valid I/O bitmap with all bits set to 1 would do.
This removes the extra work when an I/O bitmap using task is scheduled out
and puts the burden on the rare I/O bitmap users when they are scheduled
in.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior with the main goal to optimize when to load
FPU registers: only when returning to userspace and not on every

In addition, this optimization makes kernel_fpu_begin() cheaper by
requiring registers saving only on the first invocation and skipping
that in following ones.
What is more, this series cleans up and streamlines many aspects of
the already complex FPU code, hopefully making it more palatable for
future improvements and simplifications.

Defer loading of FPU state until return to userspace. This gives
the kernel the potential to skip loading FPU state for tasks that
stay in kernel mode, or for tasks that end up with repeated
invocations of kernel_fpu_begin() & kernel_fpu_end().
The fpregs_lock/unlock() section ensures that the registers remain
unchanged. Otherwise a context switch or a bottom half could save the
registers to its FPU context and the processor's FPU registers would
became random if modified at the same time.
KVM swaps the host/guest registers on entry/exit path. This flow has
been kept as is. First it ensures that the registers are loaded and then
saves the current (host) state before it loads the guest's registers. The
swap is done at the very end with disabled interrupts so it should not
change anymore before theg guest is entered. The read/save version seems
to be cheaper compared to memcpy() in a micro benchmark.
Each thread gets TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD set as part of fork() / fpu__copy().
For kernel threads, this flag gets never cleared which avoids saving /
restoring the FPU state for kernel threads and during in-kernel usage of
the FPU registers.

With the default SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_SECCOMP/SPEC_STORE_BYPASS_PRCTL mode,
the TIF_SSBD bit will be inherited when a new task is fork'ed or cloned.
It will also remain when a new program is execve'ed.
Only certain class of applications (like Java) that can run on behalf of
multiple users on a single thread will require disabling speculative store
bypass for security purposes. Those applications will call prctl(2) at
startup time to disable SSB. They won't rely on the fact the SSB might have
been disabled. Other applications that don't need SSBD will just move on
without checking if SSBD has been turned on or not.
The fact that the TIF_SSBD is inherited across execve(2) boundary will
cause performance of applications that don't need SSBD but their
predecessors have SSBD on to be unwittingly impacted especially if they
write to memory a lot.
To remedy this problem, a new PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC argument for the
PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL option of prctl(2) is added to allow applications
to specify that the SSBD feature bit on the task structure should be
cleared whenever a new program is being execve'ed.
