[PATCH v3 04/37] x86/cpufeatures: Enable CET CR4 bit for shadow stack

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

 



From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

Setting CR4.CET is a prerequisite for utilizing any CET features, most of
which also require setting MSRs.

Kernel IBT already enables the CET CR4 bit when it detects IBT HW support
and is configured with kernel IBT. However, future patches that enable
userspace shadow stack support will need the bit set as well. So change
the logic to enable it in either case.

Clear MSR_IA32_U_CET in cet_disable() so that it can't live to see
userspace in a new kexec-ed kernel that has CR4.CET set from kernel IBT.

v3:
 - Remove stay new line (Boris)
 - Simplify commit log (Andrew Cooper)

v2:
 - In the shadow stack case, go back to only setting CR4.CET if the
   kernel is compiled with user shadow stack support.
 - Clear MSR_IA32_U_CET as well. (PeterZ)

KVM refresh:
 - Set CR4.CET if SHSTK or IBT are supported by HW, so that KVM can
   support CET even if IBT is disabled.
 - Drop no_user_shstk (Dave Hansen)
 - Elaborate on what the CR4 bit does in the commit log
 - Integrate with Kernel IBT logic

v1:
 - Moved kernel-parameters.txt changes here from patch 1.
