[PATCH v2 00/16] arm64: Add SMCCC v1.1 support and CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre variant 2) mitigation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ARM has recently published a SMC Calling Convention (SMCCC)
specification update[1] that provides an optimised calling convention
and optional, discoverable support for mitigating CVE-2017-5715. ARM
Trusted Firmware (ATF) has already gained such an implementation[2].

This series addresses a few things:

- It provides a KVM implementation of PSCI v1.0, which is a
  prerequisite for being able to discover SMCCC v1.1, together with a
  new userspace API to control the PSCI revision number that the guest
  sees.

- It allows KVM to advertise SMCCC v1.1, which is de-facto supported
  already (it never corrupts any of the guest registers).

- It implements KVM support for the ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 function that is
  used to mitigate CVE-2017-5715 in a guest (if such mitigation is
  available on the host).

- It implements SMCCC v1.1 and ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 discovery support in
  the kernel itself.

- It finally provides firmware callbacks for CVE-2017-5715 for both
  kernel and KVM.

This method is intended to fully replace the initial PSCI_GET_VERSION
approach. Although PSCI_GET_VERSION still works, it has an obvious
overhead and is called on some of the hottest paths. We expect
ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 to be much faster.

Patch 1 is already merged, and included here for reference. Patches on
top of arm64/for-next/core. Tested on Seattle and Juno, the latter
with ATF implementing SMCCC v1.1.
