Due to how gelf_update_sym*() requires an Elf_Data pointer, and how libelf keeps Elf_Data in a linked list per section, elf_update_symbol() ends up having to iterate this list on each update to find the correct Elf_Data for the index'ed symbol. By allocating one Elf_Data per new symbol, the list grows per new symbol, giving an effective O(n^2) insertion time. This is obviously bloody terrible. Therefore over-allocate the Elf_Data when an extention is needed. Except it turns out libelf disregards Elf_Scn::sh_size in favour of the sum of Elf_Data::d_size. IOW it will happily write out all the unused space and fill it with: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND entries (aka zeros). Which obviously violates the STB_LOCAL placement rule, and is a general pain in the backside for not being the desired behaviour. Manually fix-up the Elf_Data size to avoid this problem before calling elf_update(). This significantly improves performance when adding a significant number of symbols.

This is a full revert of commit: f1389181 ("kallsyms: Take callthunks into account") The commit assumes a number of things that are not quite right. Notably it assumes every symbol has PADDING_BYTES in front of it that are not claimed by another symbol. This is not true; even when compiled with: -fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES} Notably things like .cold subfunctions do not need to adhere to this change in ABI. It it also not true when build with CFI_CLANG, which claims these PADDING_BYTES in the __cfi_##name symbol. Once the prefix bytes are not consistent and or otherwise claimed the approach this patch takes goes out the window and kallsym resolution will report invalid symbol names. Therefore revert this to make room for another approach.

When an extended state component is not present in fpstate, but in init state, the function copies from init_fpstate via copy_feature(). But, dynamic states are not present in init_fpstate because of all-zeros init states.

AMD systems support zero CBM (capacity bit mask) for cache allocation. That is reflected in rdt_init_res_defs_amd() by: r->cache.arch_has_empty_bitmaps = true; However given the unified code in cbm_validate(), checking for: val == 0 && !arch_has_empty_bitmaps is not enough because of another check in cbm_validate(): if ((zero_bit - first_bit) < r->cache.min_cbm_bits) The default value of r->cache.min_cbm_bits = 1.

Currently, the patch application logic checks whether the revision needs to be applied on each logical CPU (SMT thread). Therefore, on SMT designs where the microcode engine is shared between the two threads, the application happens only on one of them as that is enough to update the shared microcode engine. However, there are microcode patches which do per-thread modification, see Link tag below. Therefore, drop the revision check and try applying on each thread. This is what the BIOS does too so this method is very much tested. Btw, change only the early paths. On the late loading paths, there's no point in doing per-thread modification because if is it some case like in the bugzilla below - removing a CPUID flag - the kernel cannot go and un-use features it has detected are there early. For that, one should use early loading anyway.

Today, core ID is assumed to be unique within each package. But an AlderLake-N platform adds a Module level between core and package, Linux excludes the unknown modules bits from the core ID, resulting in duplicate core ID's. To keep core ID unique within a package, Linux must include all APIC-ID bits for known or unknown levels above the core and below the package in the core ID. It is important to understand that core ID's have always come directly from the APIC-ID encoding, which comes from the BIOS. Thus there is no guarantee that they start at 0, or that they are contiguous. As such, naively using them for array indexes can be problematic.

CPUID.1F/B does not enumerate Package level explicitly, instead, all the APIC-ID bits above the enumerated levels are assumed to be package ID bits. Current code gets package ID by shifting out all the APIC-ID bits that Linux supports, rather than shifting out all the APIC-ID bits that CPUID.1F enumerates. This introduces problems when CPUID.1F enumerates a level that Linux does not support. For example, on a single package AlderLake-N, there are 2 Ecore Modules with 4 atom cores in each module. Linux does not support the Module level and interprets the Module ID bits as package ID and erroneously reports a multi module system as a multi-package system. Fix this by using APIC-ID bits above all the CPUID.1F enumerated levels as package ID.

The coretemp driver supports up to a hard-coded limit of 128 cores. Today, the driver can not support a core with an ID above that limit. Yet, the encoding of core ID's is arbitrary (BIOS APIC-ID) and so they may be sparse and they may be large. Update the driver to map arbitrary core ID numbers into appropriate array indexes so that 128 cores can be supported, no matter the encoding of core ID's.

A recent change in LLVM made CONFIG_EFI_STUB unselectable because it no longer pretends to support -mabi=ms, breaking the dependency in Kconfig. Lack of CONFIG_EFI_STUB can prevent kernels from booting via EFI in certain circumstances. This check was added by 8f24f8c2 ("efi/libstub: Annotate firmware routines as __efiapi") to ensure that __attribute__((ms_abi)) was available, as -mabi=ms is not actually used in any cflags. According to the GCC documentation, this attribute has been supported since GCC 4.4.7. The kernel currently requires GCC 5.1 so this check is not necessary; even when that change landed in 5.6, the kernel required GCC 4.9 so it was unnecessary then as well. Clang supports __attribute__((ms_abi)) for all versions that are supported for building the kernel so no additional check is needed. Remove the 'depends on' line altogether to allow CONFIG_EFI_STUB to be selected when CONFIG_EFI is enabled, regardless of compiler.

The fully secure mitigation for RSB underflow on Intel SKL CPUs is IBRS, which inflicts up to 30% penalty for pathological syscall heavy work loads. Software based call depth tracking and RSB refill is not perfect, but reduces the attack surface massively. The penalty for the pathological case is about 8% which is still annoying but definitely more palatable than IBRS. Add a retbleed=stuff command line option to enable the call depth tracking and software refill of the RSB. This gives admins a choice. IBeeRS are safe and cause headaches, call depth tracking is considered to be s(t)ufficiently safe.

Since ftrace has trampolines, don't use thunks for the __fentry__ site but instead require that every function called from there includes accounting. This very much includes all the direct-call functions. Additionally, ftrace uses ROP tricks in two places: - return_to_handler(), and - ftrace_regs_caller() when pt_regs->orig_ax is set by a direct-call. return_to_handler() already uses a retpoline to replace an indirect-jump to defeat IBT, since this is a jump-type retpoline, make sure there is no accounting done and ALTERNATIVE the RET into a ret. ftrace_regs_caller() does much the same and gets the same treatment.

Ensure that retpolines do the proper call accounting so that the return accounting works correctly. Specifically; retpolines are used to replace both 'jmp *%reg' and 'call *%reg', however these two cases do not have the same accounting requirements. Therefore split things up and provide two different retpoline arrays for SKL. The 'jmp *%reg' case needs no accounting, the __x86_indirect_jump_thunk_array[] covers this. The retpoline is changed to not use the return thunk; it's a simple call;ret construct. [ strictly speaking it should do: andq $(~0x1f), PER_CPU_VAR(__x86_call_depth) but we can argue this can be covered by the fuzz we already have in the accounting depth (12) vs the RSB depth (16) ] The 'call *%reg' case does need accounting, the __x86_indirect_call_thunk_array[] covers this. Again, this retpoline avoids the use of the return-thunk, in this case to avoid double accounting.

To address the Intel SKL RSB underflow issue in software it's required to do call depth tracking. Provide a return thunk for call depth tracking on Intel SKL CPUs. The tracking does not use a counter. It uses uses arithmetic shift right on call entry and logical shift left on return. The depth tracking variable is initialized to 0x8000.... when the call depth is zero. The arithmetic shift right sign extends the MSB and saturates after the 12th call. The shift count is 5 so the tracking covers 12 nested calls. On return the variable is shifted left logically so it becomes zero again. CALL RET 0: 0x8000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 1: 0xfc00000000000000 0xf000000000000000 ... 11: 0xfffffffffffffff8 0xfffffffffffffc00 12: 0xffffffffffffffff 0xffffffffffffffe0 After a return buffer fill the depth is credited 12 calls before the next stuffing has to take place. There is a inaccuracy for situations like this: 10 calls 5 returns 3 calls 4 returns 3 calls .... The shift count might cause this to be off by one in either direction, but there is still a cushion vs. the RSB depth. The algorithm does not claim to be perfect, but it should obfuscate the problem enough to make exploitation extremly difficult. The theory behind this is: RSB is a stack with depth 16 which is filled on every call. On the return path speculation "pops" entries to speculate down the call chain. Once the speculative RSB is empty it switches to other predictors, e.g. the Branch History Buffer, which can be mistrained by user space and misguide the speculation path to a gadget. Call depth tracking is designed to break this speculation path by stuffing speculation trap calls into the RSB which are never getting a corresponding return executed. This stalls the prediction path until it gets resteered, The assumption is that stuffing at the 12th return is sufficient to break the speculation before it hits the underflow and the fallback to the other predictors. Testing confirms that it works. Johannes, one of the retbleed researchers. tried to attack this approach but failed. There is obviously no scientific proof that this will withstand future research progress, but all we can do right now is to speculate about it. The SAR/SHL usage was suggested by Andi Kleen.

As for the builtins create call thunks and patch the call sites to call the thunk on Intel SKL CPUs for retbleed mitigation. Note, that module init functions are ignored for sake of simplicity because loading modules is not something which is done in high frequent loops and the attacker has not really a handle on when this happens in order to launch a matching attack. The depth tracking will still work for calls into the builtins and because the call is not accounted it will underflow faster and overstuff, but that's mitigated by the saturating counter and the side effect is only temporary.

Mitigating the Intel SKL RSB underflow issue in software requires to track the call depth. That is every CALL and every RET need to be intercepted and additional code injected. The existing retbleed mitigations already include means of redirecting RET to __x86_return_thunk; this can be re-purposed and RET can be redirected to another function doing RET accounting. CALL accounting will use the function padding introduced in prior patches. For each CALL instruction, the destination symbol's padding is rewritten to do the accounting and the CALL instruction is adjusted to call into the padding. This ensures only affected CPUs pay the overhead of this accounting. Unaffected CPUs will leave the padding unused and have their 'JMP __x86_return_thunk' replaced with an actual 'RET' instruction. Objtool has been modified to supply a .call_sites section that lists all the 'CALL' instructions. Additionally the paravirt instruction sites are iterated since they will have been patched from an indirect call to direct calls (or direct instructions in which case it'll be ignored). Module handling and the actual thunk code for SKL will be added in subsequent steps.

For the upcoming call thunk patching it's less ifdeffery when the data structure is unconditionally available. The code can then be trivially fenced off with IS_ENABLED().

paranoid_entry(), error_entry() and xen_error_entry() have to be exempted from call accounting by thunk patching because they are before UNTRAIN_RET.

Intel SKL CPUs fall back to other predictors when the RSB underflows. The only microcode mitigation is IBRS which is insanely expensive. It comes with performance drops of up to 30% depending on the workload. A way less expensive, but nevertheless horrible mitigation is to track the call depth in software and overeagerly fill the RSB when returns underflow the software counter. Provide a configuration symbol and a CPU misfeature bit.

Now that all functions are 16 byte aligned, add 16 bytes of NOP padding in front of each function. This prepares things for software call stack tracking and kCFI/FineIBT. This significantly increases kernel .text size, around 5.1% on a x86_64-defconfig-ish build. However, per the random access argument used for alignment, these 16 extra bytes are code that wouldn't be used. Performance measurements back this up by showing no significant performance regressions.
