+Subject: perf/x86/amd/brs: Fix kernel address leakage
+
+From: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@amd.com>
+
+commit 47915e855fb38b42133e31ba917d99565f862154 upstream.
+
+A user-only branch stack can contain branches that originate from
+the kernel. As a result, kernel addresses are exposed to user space
+even when PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER is requested. On AMD processors
+supporting X86_FEATURE_BRS (Zen 3 only), perf can still report entries
+such as SYSRET/interrupt returns for which the branch-from addresses
+are in the kernel.
+
+E.g.
+
+ $ perf record -j any,u -c 4000 -e branch-brs -o - -- \
+ perf bench syscall basic --loop 1000 | \
+ perf script -i - -F brstack|tr ' ' '\n'| \
+ grep -E '0x[89a-f][0-9a-f]{15}'
+
+ ...

+ 0xffffffff810001c4/0x72e2d94a9821/-/-/-/0//-
+ 0xffffffff810001c4/0x72e2d94ffa1b/-/-/-/0//-
+ ...
+
+BRS provides no hardware branch filtering, so privilege level
+filtering is performed entirely in software. However, amd_brs_match_plm()
+only validates the branch-to address against the requested privilege
+levels. For branches from the kernel to user space, the branch-from
+address is left unchecked and is leaked. Extend the software filter to
+also validate the branch-from address, so that any branch record whose
+branch-from address is in the kernel is dropped when
+PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_USER is requested.
