Christian reported spurious module load crashes after some of Song's module memory layout patches. Turns out that if the very last instruction on the very last page of the module is a 'JMP __x86_return_thunk' then __static_call_fixup() will trip a fault and die. And while the module rework made this slightly more likely to happen, it's always been possible.

For stack-validation of a frame-pointer build, objtool validates that every CALL instruction is preceded by a frame-setup. The new SRSO return thunks violate this with their RSB stuffing trickery. Extend the __fentry__ exception to also cover the embedded_insn case used for this.

Similar to how it doesn't make sense to have UNTRAIN_RET have two untrain calls, it also doesn't make sense for VMEXIT to have an extra IBPB call. This cures VMEXIT doing potentially unret+IBPB or double IBPB. Also, the (SEV) VMEXIT case seems to have been overlooked. Redefine the meaning of the synthetic IBPB flags to: - ENTRY_IBPB -- issue IBPB on entry (was: entry + VMEXIT) - IBPB_ON_VMEXIT -- issue IBPB on VMEXIT And have 'retbleed=ibpb' set *BOTH* feature flags to ensure it retains the previous behaviour and issues IBPB on entry+VMEXIT. The new 'srso=ibpb_vmexit' option only sets IBPB_ON_VMEXIT. Create UNTRAIN_RET_VM specifically for the VMEXIT case, and have that check IBPB_ON_VMEXIT. All this avoids having the VMEXIT case having to check both ENTRY_IBPB and IBPB_ON_VMEXIT and simplifies the alternatives.

Since there can only be one active return_thunk, there only needs be one (matching) untrain_ret. It fundamentally doesn't make sense to allow multiple untrain_ret at the same time.

Use the existing configurable return thunk. There is absolute no justification for having created this __x86_return_thunk alternative. To clarify, the whole thing looks like: Zen3/4 does: srso_alias_untrain_ret: nop2 lfence jmp srso_alias_return_thunk int3 srso_alias_safe_ret: // aliasses srso_alias_untrain_ret just so add $8, %rsp ret int3 srso_alias_return_thunk: call srso_alias_safe_ret ud2 While Zen1/2 does: srso_untrain_ret: movabs $foo, %rax lfence call srso_safe_ret (jmp srso_return_thunk ?) int3 srso_safe_ret: // embedded in movabs instruction add $8,%rsp ret int3 srso_return_thunk: call srso_safe_ret ud2 While retbleed does: zen_untrain_ret: test $0xcc, %bl lfence jmp zen_return_thunk int3 zen_return_thunk: // embedded in the test instruction ret int3 Where Zen1/2 flush the BTB entry using the instruction decoder trick (test,movabs) Zen3/4 use BTB aliasing. SRSO adds a return sequence (srso_safe_ret()) which forces the function return instruction to speculate into a trap (UD2). This RET will then mispredict and execution will continue at the return site read from the top of the stack. Pick one of three options at boot (evey function can only ever return once).

Objtool --rethunk does two things: - it collects all (tail) call's of __x86_return_thunk and places them into .return_sites. These are typically compiler generated, but RET also emits this same. - it fudges the validation of the __x86_return_thunk symbol; because this symbol is inside another instruction, it can't actually find the instruction pointed to by the symbol offset and gets upset. Because these two things pertained to the same symbol, there was no pressing need to separate these two separate things. However, alas, along comes SRSO and more crazy things to deal with appeared. The SRSO patch itself added the following symbol names to identify as rethunk: 'srso_untrain_ret', 'srso_safe_ret' and '__ret' Where '__ret' is the old retbleed return thunk, 'srso_safe_ret' is a new similarly embedded return thunk, and 'srso_untrain_ret' is completely unrelated to anything the above does (and was only included because of that INT3 vs UD2 issue fixed previous). Clear things up by adding a second category for the embedded instruction thing.

The kprobes optimization check can_optimize() calls insn_is_indirect_jump() to detect indirect jump instructions in a target function. If any is found, creating an optprobe is disallowed in the function because the jump could be from a jump table and could potentially land in the middle of the target optprobe. With retpolines, insn_is_indirect_jump() additionally looks for calls to indirect thunks which the compiler potentially used to replace original jumps. This extra check is however unnecessary because jump tables are disabled when the kernel is built with retpolines. The same is currently the case with IBT. Based on this observation, remove the logic to look for calls to indirect thunks and skip the check for indirect jumps altogether if the kernel is built with retpolines or IBT. Remove subsequently the symbols __indirect_thunk_start and __indirect_thunk_end which are no longer needed. Dropping this logic indirectly fixes a problem where the range [__indirect_thunk_start, __indirect_thunk_end] wrongly included also the return thunk. It caused that machines which used the return thunk as a mitigation and didn't have it patched by any alternative ended up not being able to use optprobes in any regular function.

The linker script arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S matches the thunk sections ".text.__x86.*" from arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S as follows: .text { [...] TEXT_TEXT [...] __indirect_thunk_start = .; *(.text.__x86.*) __indirect_thunk_end = .; [...] } Macro TEXT_TEXT references TEXT_MAIN which normally expands to only ".text". However, with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, TEXT_MAIN becomes ".text .text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*" which wrongly matches also the thunk sections. The output layout is then different than expected. For instance, the currently defined range [__indirect_thunk_start, __indirect_thunk_end] becomes empty. Prevent the problem by using ".." as the first separator, for example, ".text..__x86.indirect_thunk". This pattern is utilized by other explicit section names which start with one of the standard prefixes, such as ".text" or ".data", and that need to be individually selected in the linker script.

Initially, it was thought that doing an innocuous division in the #DE handler would take care to prevent any leaking of old data from the divider but by the time the fault is raised, the speculation has already advanced too far and such data could already have been used by younger operations. Therefore, do the innocuous division on every exit to userspace so that userspace doesn't see any potentially old data from integer divisions in kernel space. Do the same before VMRUN too, to protect host data from leaking into the guest too.

Use LEA instead of ADD when adjusting %rsp in srso_safe_ret{,_alias}() so as to avoid clobbering flags. Drop one of the INT3 instructions to account for the LEA consuming one more byte than the ADD. KVM's emulator makes indirect calls into a jump table of sorts, where the destination of each call is a small blob of code that performs fast emulation by executing the target instruction with fixed operands. E.g. to emulate ADC, fastop() invokes adcb_al_dl(): adcb_al_dl: <+0>: adc %dl,%al <+2>: jmp <__x86_return_thunk> A major motivation for doing fast emulation is to leverage the CPU to handle consumption and manipulation of arithmetic flags, i.e. RFLAGS is both an input and output to the target of the call. fastop() collects the RFLAGS result by pushing RFLAGS onto the stack and popping them back into a variable (held in %rdi in this case): asm("push %[flags]; popf; " CALL_NOSPEC " ; pushf; pop %[flags]\n" <+71>: mov 0xc0(%r8),%rdx <+78>: mov 0x100(%r8),%rcx <+85>: push %rdi <+86>: popf <+87>: call *%rsi <+89>: nop <+90>: nop <+91>: nop <+92>: pushf <+93>: pop %rdi and then propagating the arithmetic flags into the vCPU's emulator state: ctxt->eflags = (ctxt->eflags & ~EFLAGS_MASK) | (flags & EFLAGS_MASK); <+64>: and $0xfffffffffffff72a,%r9 <+94>: and $0x8d5,%edi <+109>: or %rdi,%r9 <+122>: mov %r9,0x10(%r8) The failures can be most easily reproduced by running the "emulator" test in KVM-Unit-Tests. If you're feeling a bit of deja vu, see commit b63f20a7 ("x86/retpoline: Don't clobber RFLAGS during CALL_NOSPEC on i386"). In addition, this breaks booting of clang-compiled guest on a gcc-compiled host where the host contains the %rsp-modifying SRSO mitigations.

The lenovo-ymc driver is causing the keyboard + touchpad to stop working on some regular laptop models such as the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s G2 ITL 20V9. The problem is that there are YMC WMI GUID methods in the ACPI tables of these laptops, despite them not being Yogas and lenovo-ymc loading causes libinput to see a SW_TABLET_MODE switch with state 1. This in turn causes libinput to ignore events from the builtin keyboard and touchpad, since it filters those out for a Yoga in tablet mode. Similar issues with false-positive SW_TABLET_MODE=1 reporting have been seen with the intel-hid driver. Copy the intel-hid driver approach to fix this and only bind to the WMI device on machines where the DMI chassis-type indicates the machine is a convertible. Add a 'force' module parameter to allow overriding the chassis-type check so that users can easily test if the YMC interface works on models which report an unexpected chassis-type.

The only remaining consumer is new_inode, where it showed up in 2001 as commit c37fa164 ("v2.4.9.9 -> v2.4.9.10") in a historical repo [1] with a changelog which does not mention it. Since then the line got only touched up to keep compiling. While it may have been of benefit back in the day, it is guaranteed to at best not get in the way in the multicore setting -- as the code performs *a lot* of work between the prefetch and actual lock acquire, any contention means the cacheline is already invalid by the time the routine calls spin_lock(). It adds spurious traffic, for short. On top of it prefetch is notoriously tricky to use for single-threaded purposes, making it questionable from the get go. As such, remove it. I admit upfront I did not see value in benchmarking this change, but I can do it if that is deemed appropriate. Removal from new_inode and of the entire thing are in the same patch as requested by Linus, so whatever weird looks can be directed at that guy.

Pull tpm irq fixes from Jarkko Sakkinen: "These change the probing and enabling of interrupts advertised by the platform firmware (i.e. ACPI, Device Tree) to be an opt-in for tpm_tis, which can be set from the kernel command-line.

Pull zonefs fix from Damien Le Moal: - The switch to using iomap for executing a direct synchronous write to sequential files using a zone append BIO overlooked cases where the BIO built by iomap is too large and needs splitting, which is not allowed with zone append. Fix this by using regular write commands instead. The use of zone append commands will be reintroduced later with proper support from iomap. * tag 'zonefs-6.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dlemoal/zonefs: zonefs: fix synchronous direct writes to sequential files

The patch which made it to the kernel somehow changed the match condition from DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "UPX-TGL01") to DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION, "UPX-TGL") Revert back to the correct match condition to disable the interrupt mode on the board.
