powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses

2020-11-22T09:00:24+00:00

commit 9a32a7e78bd0cd9a9b6332cbdc345ee5ffd0c5de upstream.

IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache before
it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It is not possible
for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible memory using this method,
since these systems implement a combination of hardware and software security measures
to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked.

However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that the
attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass "kernel
user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of
Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility
it could be used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the
privileged code to construct an attack.

This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege boundaries
of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses.

This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

powerpc/64s: flush L1D on kernel entry

powerpc/fsl: Add infrastructure to fixup branch predictor flush

2019-04-03T04:25:13+00:00

commit 76a5eaa38b15dda92cd6964248c39b5a6f3a4e9d upstream.

In order to protect against speculation attacks (Spectre
variant 2) on NXP PowerPC platforms, the branch predictor
should be flushed when the privillege level is changed.
This patch is adding the infrastructure to fixup at runtime
the code sections that are performing the branch predictor flush
depending on a boot arg parameter which is added later in a
separate patch.

powerpc/64: Call setup_barrier_nospec() from setup_arch()

2019-04-03T04:25:12+00:00

commit af375eefbfb27cbb5b831984e66d724a40d26b5c upstream.

Currently we require platform code to call setup_barrier_nospec(). But
if we add an empty definition for the !CONFIG_PPC_BARRIER_NOSPEC case
then we can call it in setup_arch().

powerpc/64: Add CONFIG_PPC_BARRIER_NOSPEC

commit 179ab1cbf883575c3a585bcfc0f2160f1d22a149 upstream.

Add a config symbol to encode which platforms support the
barrier_nospec speculation barrier. Currently this is just Book3S 64
but we will add Book3E in a future patch.

powerpc/64s: Enable barrier_nospec based on firmware settings

commit cb3d6759a93c6d0aea1c10deb6d00e111c29c19c upstream.

Check what firmware told us and enable/disable the barrier_nospec as
appropriate.

We err on the side of enabling the barrier, as it's no-op on older
systems, see the comment for more detail.

powerpc/64s: Patch barrier_nospec in modules

2019-04-03T04:25:11+00:00

commit 815069ca57c142eb71d27439bc27f41a433a67b3 upstream.

Note that unlike RFI which is patched only in kernel the nospec state
reflects settings at the time the module was loaded.

Iterating all modules and re-patching every time the settings change
is not implemented.

Based on lwsync patching.

powerpc/64s: Add support for ori barrier_nospec patching

2019-04-03T04:25:11+00:00

commit 2eea7f067f495e33b8b116b35b5988ab2b8aec55 upstream.

Based on the RFI patching. This is required to be able to disable the
speculation barrier.

Only one barrier type is supported and it does nothing when the
firmware does not enable it. Also re-patching modules is not supported
So the only meaningful thing that can be done is patching out the
speculation barrier at boot when the user says it is not wanted.

powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections

2018-10-13T07:27:28+00:00

commit 51c3c62b58b357e8d35e4cc32f7b4ec907426fe3 upstream.

This stops us from doing code patching in init sections after they've
been freed.

In this chain:
  kvm_guest_init() ->
    kvm_use_magic_page() ->
      fault_in_pages_readable() ->
	 __get_user() ->
	   __get_user_nocheck() ->
	     barrier_nospec();

We have a code patching location at barrier_nospec() and
kvm_guest_init() is an init function. This whole chain gets inlined,
so when we free the init section (hence kvm_guest_init()), this code
goes away and hence should no longer be patched.

We seen this as userspace memory corruption when using a memory
checker while doing partition migration testing on powervm (this
starts the code patching post migration via
/sys/kernel/mobility/migration). In theory, it could also happen when
using /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/barrier_nospec.
