[patch V2 03/14] x86/fpu: Invalidate FPU state after a failed XRSTOR from a user buffer

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

 



From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

Both Intel and AMD consider it to be architecturally valid for XRSTOR to
fail with #PF but nonetheless change the register state.  The actual
conditions under which this might occur are unclear [1], but it seems
plausible that this might be triggered if one sibling thread unmaps a page
and invalidates the shared TLB while another sibling thread is executing
XRSTOR on the page in question.

__fpu__restore_sig() can execute XRSTOR while the hardware registers are
preserved on behalf of a different victim task (using the
fpu_fpregs_owner_ctx mechanism), and, in theory, XRSTOR could fail but
modify the registers.  If this happens, then there is a window in which
__fpu__restore_sig() could schedule out and the victim task could schedule
back in without reloading its own FPU registers.  This would result in part
of the FPU state that __fpu__restore_sig() was attempting to load leaking
into the victim task's user-visible state.

Invalidate preserved FPU registers on XRSTOR failure to prevent this
situation from corrupting any state.

[1] Frequent readers of the errata lists might imagine "complex
    microarchitectural conditions"
