commit d43490d0ab824023e11d0b57d0aeec17a6e0ca13 upstream.
Use the existing configurable return thunk. There is absolute no
justification for having created this __x86_return_thunk alternative.
To clarify, the whole thing looks like:
Zen3/4 does:
srso_alias_untrain_ret:
nop2
lfence
jmp srso_alias_return_thunk
int3
srso_alias_safe_ret: // aliasses srso_alias_untrain_ret just so
add $8, %rsp
ret
int3
srso_alias_return_thunk:
call srso_alias_safe_ret
ud2
While Zen1/2 does:
srso_untrain_ret:
movabs $foo, %rax
lfence
call srso_safe_ret (jmp srso_return_thunk ?)
int3
srso_safe_ret: // embedded in movabs instruction
add $8,%rsp
ret
int3
srso_return_thunk:
call srso_safe_ret
ud2
While retbleed does:
zen_untrain_ret:
test $0xcc, %bl
lfence
jmp zen_return_thunk
int3
zen_return_thunk: // embedded in the test instruction
ret
int3
Where Zen1/2 flush the BTB entry using the instruction decoder trick
(test,movabs) Zen3/4 use BTB aliasing. SRSO adds a return sequence
(srso_safe_ret()) which forces the function return instruction to
speculate into a trap (UD2). This RET will then mispredict and
execution will continue at the return site read from the top of the
stack.
Pick one of three options at boot (evey function can only ever return
once).
[ bp: Fixup commit message uarch details and add them in a comment in
the code too. Add a comment about the srso_select_mitigation()
dependency on retbleed_select_mitigation(). Add moar ifdeffery for
32-bit builds. Add a dummy srso_untrain_ret_alias() definition for
32-bit alternatives needing the symbol. ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
