commit
e52c1dc7455d32c8a55f9949d300e5e87d011fa6 upstream.
FineIBT-paranoid was using the retpoline bytes for the paranoid check,
disabling retpolines, because all parts that have IBT also have eIBRS
and thus don't need no stinking retpolines.
Except... ITS needs the retpolines for indirect calls must not be in
the first half of a cacheline :-/
So what was the paranoid call sequence:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b <f0> lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 75 fd jne d <fineibt_paranoid_start+0xd>
10: 41 ff d3 call *%r11
13: 90 nop
Now becomes:
<fineibt_paranoid_start>:
0: 41 ba 78 56 34 12 mov $0x12345678, %r10d
6: 45 3b 53 f7 cmp -0x9(%r11), %r10d
a: 4d 8d 5b f0 lea -0x10(%r11), %r11
e: 2e e8 XX XX XX XX cs call __x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11
Where the paranoid_thunk looks like:
1d: <ea> (bad)
__x86_indirect_paranoid_thunk_r11:
1e: 75 fd jne 1d
__x86_indirect_its_thunk_r11:
20: 41 ff eb jmp *%r11
23: cc int3
[ dhansen: remove initialization to false ]
[ pawan: move the its_static_thunk() definition to alternative.c. This is
done to avoid a build failure due to circular dependency between
kernel.h(asm-generic/bug.h) and asm/alternative.h which is
needed for WARN_ONCE(). ]
[ Just a portion of the original commit, in order to fix a build issue
in stable kernels due to backports ]
