Subject: x86/retpoline: Simplify retpolines
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 119251855f9adf9421cb5eb409933092141ab2c7 upstream.
Due to:
c9c324dc22aa ("objtool: Support stack layout changes in alternatives")
it is now possible to simplify the retpolines.
Currently our retpolines consist of 2 symbols:
- __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg: the compiler target
- __x86_retpoline_\reg: the actual retpoline.
Both are consecutive in code and aligned such that for any one register
they both live in the same cacheline:
0000000000000000 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax>:
0: ff e0 jmpq *%rax
2: 90 nop
3: 90 nop
4: 90 nop
0000000000000005 <__x86_retpoline_rax>:
5: e8 07 00 00 00 callq 11 <__x86_retpoline_rax+0xc>
a: f3 90 pause
c: 0f ae e8 lfence
f: eb f9 jmp a <__x86_retpoline_rax+0x5>
11: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp)
15: c3 retq
16: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
The thunk is an alternative_2, where one option is a JMP to the
retpoline. This was done so that objtool didn't need to deal with
alternatives with stack ops. But that problem has been solved, so now
it is possible to fold the entire retpoline into the alternative to
simplify and consolidate unused bytes:
0000000000000000 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax>:
0: ff e0 jmpq *%rax
2: 90 nop
3: 90 nop
4: 90 nop
5: 90 nop
6: 90 nop
7: 90 nop
8: 90 nop
9: 90 nop
a: 90 nop
b: 90 nop
c: 90 nop
d: 90 nop
e: 90 nop
f: 90 nop
10: 90 nop
11: 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 data16 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
1c: 0f 1f 40 00 nopl 0x0(%rax)
Notice that since the longest alternative sequence is now:
0: e8 07 00 00 00 callq c <.altinstr_replacement+0xc>
5: f3 90 pause
7: 0f ae e8 lfence
a: eb f9 jmp 5 <.altinstr_replacement+0x5>
c: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp)
10: c3 retq
17 bytes, we have 15 bytes NOP at the end of our 32 byte slot. (IOW, if
we can shrink the retpoline by 1 byte we can pack it more densely).

- Use X86_FEATRURE_RETPOLINE_LFENCE flag instead of
X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE_AMD, since the later renaming of this flag
has already been applied
- Adjust context]
