Merge speculative store buffer bypass fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - rework of the SPEC_CTRL MSR management to accomodate the new fancy
   SSBD (Speculative Store Bypass Disable) bit handling.

 - the CPU bug and sysfs infrastructure for the exciting new Speculative
   Store Bypass 'feature'.

 - support for disabling SSB via LS_CFG MSR on AMD CPUs including
   Hyperthread synchronization on ZEN.

 - PRCTL support for dynamic runtime control of SSB

 - SECCOMP integration to automatically disable SSB for sandboxed
   processes with a filter flag for opt-out.

 - KVM integration to allow guests fiddling with SSBD including the new
   software MSR VIRT_SPEC_CTRL to handle the LS_CFG based oddities on
   AMD.

 - BPF protection against SSB

.. this is just the core and x86 side, other architecture support will
come separately.

<content type='text'>
Add prctl based control for Speculative Store Bypass mitigation and make it
the default mitigation for Intel and AMD.

Andi Kleen provided the following rationale (slightly redacted):

 There are multiple levels of impact of Speculative Store Bypass:

 1) JITed sandbox.
    It cannot invoke system calls, but can do PRIME+PROBE and may have call
    interfaces to other code

 2) Native code process.
    No protection inside the process at this level.

 3) Kernel.

 4) Between processes. 

 The prctl tries to protect against case (1) doing attacks.

 If the untrusted code can do random system calls then control is already
 lost in a much worse way. So there needs to be system call protection in
 some way (using a JIT not allowing them or seccomp). Or rather if the
 process can subvert its environment somehow to do the prctl it can already
 execute arbitrary code, which is much worse than SSB.

 To put it differently, the point of the prctl is to not allow JITed code
 to read data it shouldn't read from its JITed sandbox. If it already has
 escaped its sandbox then it can already read everything it wants in its
 address space, and do much worse.

 The ability to control Speculative Store Bypass allows to enable the
 protection selectively without affecting overall system performance.

Based on an initial patch from Tim Chen. Completely rewritten.

<title>x86/bugs: Provide boot parameters for the spec_store_bypass_disable mitigation</title>

<id>24f7fc83b9204d20f878c57cb77d261ae825e033</id>
<content type='text'>
Contemporary high performance processors use a common industry-wide
optimization known as "Speculative Store Bypass" in which loads from
addresses to which a recent store has occurred may (speculatively) see an
older value. Intel refers to this feature as "Memory Disambiguation" which
is part of their "Smart Memory Access" capability.

Memory Disambiguation can expose a cache side-channel attack against such
speculatively read values. An attacker can create exploit code that allows
them to read memory outside of a sandbox environment (for example,
malicious JavaScript in a web page), or to perform more complex attacks
against code running within the same privilege level, e.g. via the stack.

As a first step to mitigate against such attacks, provide two boot command
line control knobs:

 nospec_store_bypass_disable
 spec_store_bypass_disable=[off,auto,on]

By default affected x86 processors will power on with Speculative
Store Bypass enabled. Hence the provided kernel parameters are written
from the point of view of whether to enable a mitigation or not.
The parameters are as follows:

 - auto - Kernel detects whether your CPU model contains an implementation
	  of Speculative Store Bypass and picks the most appropriate
	  mitigation.

 - on   - disable Speculative Store Bypass
 - off  - enable Speculative Store Bypass

[ tglx: Reordered the checks so that the whole evaluation is not done
  	when the CPU does not support RDS ]

Pull integrity updates from James Morris:
 "A mixture of bug fixes, code cleanup, and continues to close
  IMA-measurement, IMA-appraisal, and IMA-audit gaps.

  Also note the addition of a new cred_getsecid LSM hook by Matthew
  Garrett:

     For IMA purposes, we want to be able to obtain the prepared secid
     in the bprm structure before the credentials are committed. Add a
     cred_getsecid hook that makes this possible.

  which is used by a new CREDS_CHECK target in IMA:

     In ima_bprm_check(), check with both the existing process
     credentials and the credentials that will be committed when the new
     process is started. This will not change behaviour unless the
     system policy is extended to include CREDS_CHECK targets -
     BPRM_CHECK will continue to check the same credentials that it did
     previously"

Pull integrity updates from James Morris:
 "A mixture of bug fixes, code cleanup, and continues to close
  IMA-measurement, IMA-appraisal, and IMA-audit gaps.

  Also note the addition of a new cred_getsecid LSM hook by Matthew
  Garrett:

     For IMA purposes, we want to be able to obtain the prepared secid
     in the bprm structure before the credentials are committed. Add a
     cred_getsecid hook that makes this possible.

  which is used by a new CREDS_CHECK target in IMA:

     In ima_bprm_check(), check with both the existing process
     credentials and the credentials that will be committed when the new
     process is started. This will not change behaviour unless the
     system policy is extended to include CREDS_CHECK targets -
     BPRM_CHECK will continue to check the same credentials that it did
     previously"

* 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security:
  ima: Fallback to the builtin hash algorithm
  ima: Add smackfs to the default appraise/measure list
  evm: check for remount ro in progress before writing
  ima: Improvements in ima_appraise_measurement()
  ima: Simplify ima_eventsig_init()
  integrity: Remove unused macro IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS
  ima: drop vla in ima_audit_measurement()
  ima: Fix Kconfig to select TPM 2.0 CRB interface
  evm: Constify *integrity_status_msg[]
  evm: Move evm_hmac and evm_hash from evm_main.c to evm_crypto.c
  fuse: define the filesystem as untrusted
  ima: fail signature verification based on policy
  ima: clear IMA_HASH
  ima: re-evaluate files on privileged mounted filesystems
  ima: fail file signature verification on non-init mounted filesystems
  IMA: Support using new creds in appraisal policy
  security: Add a cred_getsecid hook

  little more than usual for v4.17.

  Eleven patches in total, most fall into the small fix category, but
  there are three non-trivial changes worth calling out:

   - the audit entry filter is being removed after deprecating it for
     quite a while (years of no one really using it because it turns out
     to be not very practical)

   - created our own version of "__mutex_owner()" because the locking
     folks were upset we were using theirs

   - improved our handling of kernel command line parameters to make
     them more forgiving

   - we fixed auditing of symlink operations

  Everything passes the audit-testsuite and as of a few minutes ago it
  merges well with your tree"
