This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/speculation: Add LFENCE to RSB fill sequence to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-speculation-add-lfence-to-rsb-fill-sequence.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Oct 31 07:55:50 AM CET 2022 From: Suraj Jitindar Singh <surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2022 13:55:11 -0700 Subject: x86/speculation: Add LFENCE to RSB fill sequence To: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx>, <sjitindarsingh@xxxxxxxxx>, <cascardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>, <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>, <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <x86@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20221027205512.17684-3-surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx> From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ba6e31af2be96c4d0536f2152ed6f7b6c11bca47 upstream. RSB fill sequence does not have any protection for miss-prediction of conditional branch at the end of the sequence. CPU can speculatively execute code immediately after the sequence, while RSB filling hasn't completed yet. #define __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER(reg, nr, sp) \ mov $(nr/2), reg; \ 771: \ ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL; \ call 772f; \ 773: /* speculation trap */ \ UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY; \ pause; \ lfence; \ jmp 773b; \ 772: \ ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL; \ call 774f; \ 775: /* speculation trap */ \ UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY; \ pause; \ lfence; \ jmp 775b; \ 774: \ add $(BITS_PER_LONG/8) * 2, sp; \ dec reg; \ jnz 771b; <----- CPU can miss-predict here. Before RSB is filled, RETs that come in program order after this macro can be executed speculatively, making them vulnerable to RSB-based attacks. Mitigate it by adding an LFENCE after the conditional branch to prevent speculation while RSB is being filled.
