commit a368d7fd2a3c6babb852fe974018dd97916bcd3b upstream.

Omitting suffixes from instructions in AT&amp;T mode is bad practice when
operand size cannot be determined by the assembler from register
operands, and is likely going to be warned about by upstream gas in the
future (mine does already). Add the single missing suffix here.

commit 64dbc122b20f75183d8822618c24f85144a5a94d upstream.

Somehow the swapgs mitigation entry code patch ended up with a JMPQ
instruction instead of JMP, where only the short jump is needed.  Some
assembler versions apparently fail to optimize JMPQ into a two-byte JMP
when possible, instead always using a 7-byte JMP with relocation.  For
some reason that makes the entry code explode with a #GP during boot.

Change it back to "JMP" as originally intended.

commit 18ec54fdd6d18d92025af097cd042a75cf0ea24c upstream.

Spectre v1 isn't only about array bounds checks.  It can affect any
conditional checks.  The kernel entry code interrupt, exception, and NMI
handlers all have conditional swapgs checks.  Those may be problematic in
the context of Spectre v1, as kernel code can speculatively run with a user
GS.

For example:

	if (coming from user space)
		swapgs
	mov %gs:&lt;percpu_offset&gt;, %reg
	mov (%reg), %reg1

When coming from user space, the CPU can speculatively skip the swapgs, and
then do a speculative percpu load using the user GS value.  So the user can
speculatively force a read of any kernel value.  If a gadget exists which
uses the percpu value as an address in another load/store, then the
contents of the kernel value may become visible via an L1 side channel
attack.

A similar attack exists when coming from kernel space.  The CPU can
speculatively do the swapgs, causing the user GS to get used for the rest
of the speculative window.

The mitigation is similar to a traditional Spectre v1 mitigation, except:

  a) index masking isn't possible; because the index (percpu offset)
     isn't user-controlled; and

  b) an lfence is needed in both the "from user" swapgs path and the
     "from kernel" non-swapgs path (because of the two attacks described
     above).

The user entry swapgs paths already have SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3, which has a
CR3 write when PTI is enabled.  Since CR3 writes are serializing, the
lfences can be skipped in those cases.

On the other hand, the kernel entry swapgs paths don't depend on PTI.

To avoid unnecessary lfences for the user entry case, create two separate
features for alternative patching:

  X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_USER
  X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL

Use these features in entry code to patch in lfences where needed.

The features aren't enabled yet, so there's no functional change.

commit 6690e86be83ac75832e461c141055b5d601c0a6d upstream.

Effectively reverts commit:

  2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")

Specifically because SMAP uses FLAGS.AC which invalidates the claim
that the kernel has clean flags.

In particular; while preemption from interrupt return is fine (the
IRET frame on the exception stack contains FLAGS) it breaks any code
that does synchonous scheduling, including preempt_enable().

This has become a significant issue ever since commit:

  5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")

provided for means of having 'normal' C code between STAC / CLAC,
exposing the FLAGS.AC state. So far this hasn't led to trouble,
however fix it before it comes apart.

commit cd01544a268ad8ee5b1dfe42c4393f1095f86879 upstream.

Commit

  379d98ddf413 ("x86: vdso: Use $LD instead of $CC to link")

accidentally broke unwinding from userspace, because ld would strip the
.eh_frame sections when linking.

Originally, the compiler would implicitly add --eh-frame-hdr when
invoking the linker, but when this Makefile was converted from invoking
ld via the compiler, to invoking it directly (like vmlinux does),
the flag was missed. (The EH_FRAME section is important for the VDSO
shared libraries, but not for vmlinux.)

Fix the problem by explicitly specifying --eh-frame-hdr, which restores
parity with the old method.

shared libraries, but not for vmlinux.)

Fix the problem by explicitly specifying --eh-frame-hdr, which restores
parity with the old method.

commit ac3e233d29f7f77f28243af0132057d378d3ea58 upstream.

GNU linker's -z common-page-size's default value is based on the target
architecture. arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile sets it to the architecture
default, which is implicit and redundant. Drop it.

<title>x86: vdso: Use $LD instead of $CC to link</title>

commit 379d98ddf41344273d9718556f761420f4dc80b3 upstream.

The vdso{32,64}.so can fail to link with CC=clang when clang tries to find
a suitable GCC toolchain to link these libraries with.

/usr/bin/ld: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.o:
  access beyond end of merged section (782)

This happens because the host environment leaked into the cross compiler
environment due to the way clang searches for suitable GCC toolchains.

Clang is a retargetable compiler, and each invocation of it must provide
--target=&lt;something&gt; --gcc-toolchain=&lt;something&gt; to allow it to find the
correct binutils for cross compilation. These flags had been added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS, but the vdso code uses CC and not KBUILD_CFLAGS (for various
reasons) which breaks clang's ability to find the correct linker when cross
compiling.

Most of the time this goes unnoticed because the host linker is new enough
to work anyway, or is incompatible and skipped, but this cannot be reliably
assumed.

This change alters the vdso makefile to just use LD directly, which
bypasses clang and thus the searching problem. The makefile will just use
${CROSS_COMPILE}ld instead, which is always what we want. This matches the
method used to link vmlinux.

This drops references to DISABLE_LTO; this option doesn't seem to be set
anywhere, and not knowing what its possible values are, it's not clear how
to convert it from CC to LD flag.
