[PATCH] x86/retpoline: Don't clobber RFLAGS during srso_safe_ret()

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

 



Use 'lea' instead of 'add' when adjusting %rsp in srso_safe_ret() so as to
avoid clobbering flags.  Drop one of the INT3 instructions to account for
the LEA consuming one more byte than the ADD.

KVM's emulator makes indirect calls into a jump table of sorts, where
the destination of each call is a small blob of code that performs fast
emulation by executing the target instruction with fixed operands.

E.g. to emulate ADC, fastop() invokes adcb_al_dl():

  adcb_al_dl:
      0xffffffff8105f5f0 <+0>:  adc    %dl,%al
      0xffffffff8105f5f2 <+2>:  jmp    0xffffffff81a39270 <__x86_return_thunk>

A major motivation for doing fast emulation is to leverage the CPU to
handle consumption and manipulation of arithmetic flags, i.e. RFLAGS is
both an input and output to the target of the call.  fastop() collects
the RFLAGS result by pushing RFLAGS onto the stack and popping them back
into a variable (held in RDI in this case)

  asm("push %[flags]; popf; " CALL_NOSPEC " ; pushf; pop %[flags]\n"

      0xffffffff81062be7 <+71>: mov    0xc0(%r8),%rdx
      0xffffffff81062bee <+78>: mov    0x100(%r8),%rcx
      0xffffffff81062bf5 <+85>: push   %rdi
      0xffffffff81062bf6 <+86>: popf
      0xffffffff81062bf7 <+87>: call   *%rsi
      0xffffffff81062bf9 <+89>: nop
      0xffffffff81062bfa <+90>: nop
      0xffffffff81062bfb <+91>: nop
      0xffffffff81062bfc <+92>: pushf
      0xffffffff81062bfd <+93>: pop    %rdi

and then propagating the arithmetic flags into the vCPU's emulator state:

    ctxt->eflags = (ctxt->eflags & ~EFLAGS_MASK) | (flags & EFLAGS_MASK);

      0xffffffff81062be0 <+64>:  and    $0xfffffffffffff72a,%r9
      0xffffffff81062bfe <+94>:  and    $0x8d5,%edi
      0xffffffff81062c0d <+109>: or     %rdi,%r9
      0xffffffff81062c1a <+122>: mov    %r9,0x10(%r8)

The failures can be most easily reproduced by running the "emulator" test
in KVM-Unit-Tests.

If you're feeling a bit of deja vu, see commit b63f20a778c8
