[RFC PATCH 5.10 00/16] ITS mitigation for 5.10

by Pawan Gupta

This is the backport for Indirect Target Selection(ITS) mitigation for 5.10. This is only boot tested, so sending it as an RFC for now. I hope some bot picks this up for some at-scale testing. Meanwhile I am doing basic tests around ITS mitigation. In addition to commits in 5.15 ITS backport, below commits are required to make the ITS mitigation work on 5.10. These are the prime target of scrutiny: x86/alternatives: Teach text_poke_bp() to patch Jcc.d32 instructions x86/alternatives: Introduce int3_emulate_jcc() x86/bhi: Define SPEC_CTRL_BHI_DIS_S --- Borislav Petkov (AMD) (1): x86/alternative: Optimize returns patching Daniel Sneddon (1): x86/bhi: Define SPEC_CTRL_BHI_DIS_S Eric Biggers (1): x86/its: Fix build errors when CONFIG_MODULES=n Josh Poimboeuf (1): x86/alternatives: Remove faulty optimization Pawan Gupta (7): Documentation: x86/bugs/its: Add ITS documentation x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe return thunk x86/its: Fix undefined reference to cpu_wants_rethunk_at() x86/its: Enable Indirect Target Selection mitigation x86/its: Add "vmexit" option to skip mitigation on some CPUs Peter Zijlstra (4): x86/alternatives: Introduce int3_emulate_jcc() x86/alternatives: Teach text_poke_bp() to patch Jcc.d32 instructions x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches x86/its: FineIBT-paranoid vs ITS Thomas Gleixner (1): x86/modules: Set VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS in module_alloc() Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu | 1 + Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/index.rst | 1 + .../hw-vuln/indirect-target-selection.rst | 156 +++++++++++ Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 15 + arch/x86/Kconfig | 11 + arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h | 26 ++ arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h | 6 +- arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h | 13 +- arch/x86/include/asm/nospec-branch.h | 11 + arch/x86/include/asm/text-patching.h | 31 +++ arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c | 308 ++++++++++++++++++++- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c | 139 +++++++++- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c | 63 ++++- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/scattered.c | 1 + arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c | 4 +- arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/core.c | 39 +-- arch/x86/kernel/module.c | 14 +- arch/x86/kernel/static_call.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 8 + arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 4 +- arch/x86/lib/retpoline.S | 39 +++ arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c | 8 +- drivers/base/cpu.c | 8 + include/linux/cpu.h | 2 + include/linux/module.h | 5 + 25 files changed, 842 insertions(+), 73 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 01e7e36b8606e5d4fddf795938010f7bfa3aa277 change-id: 20250609-its-5-10-a656ce2e08ce Best regards, -- Pawan

[PATCH 1/4] mm/shmem, swap: improve cached mTHP handling and fix potential hung

by Kairui Song

From: Kairui Song <kasong(a)tencent.com> The current swap-in code assumes that, when a swap entry in shmem mapping is order 0, its cached folios (if present) must be order 0 too, which turns out not always correct. The problem is shmem_split_large_entry is called before verifying the folio will eventually be swapped in, one possible race is: CPU1 CPU2 shmem_swapin_folio /* swap in of order > 0 swap entry S1 */ folio = swap_cache_get_folio /* folio = NULL */ order = xa_get_order /* order > 0 */ folio = shmem_swap_alloc_folio /* mTHP alloc failure, folio = NULL */ <... Interrupted ...> shmem_swapin_folio /* S1 is swapped in */ shmem_writeout /* S1 is swapped out, folio cached */ shmem_split_large_entry(..., S1) /* S1 is split, but the folio covering it has order > 0 now */ Now any following swapin of S1 will hang: `xa_get_order` returns 0, and folio lookup will return a folio with order > 0. The `xa_get_order(&mapping->i_pages, index) != folio_order(folio)` will always return false causing swap-in to return -EEXIST. And this looks fragile. So fix this up by allowing seeing a larger folio in swap cache, and check the whole shmem mapping range covered by the swapin have the right swap value upon inserting the folio. And drop the redundant tree walks before the insertion. This will actually improve the performance, as it avoided two redundant Xarray tree walks in the hot path, and the only side effect is that in the failure path, shmem may redundantly reallocate a few folios causing temporary slight memory pressure. And worth noting, it may seems the order and value check before inserting might help reducing the lock contention, which is not true. The swap cache layer ensures raced swapin will either see a swap cache folio or failed to do a swapin (we have SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit even if swap cache is bypassed), so holding the folio lock and checking the folio flag is already good enough for avoiding the lock contention. The chance that a folio passes the swap entry value check but the shmem mapping slot has changed should be very low.

[PATCH 5.15] xfs: allow inode inactivation during a ro mount log recovery

by Amir Goldstein

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong(a)kernel.org> [ Upstream commit 76e589013fec672c3587d6314f2d1f0aeddc26d9 ] In the next patch, we're going to prohibit log recovery if the primary superblock contains an unrecognized rocompat feature bit even on readonly mounts. This requires removing all the code in the log mounting process that temporarily disables the readonly state. Unfortunately, inode inactivation disables itself on readonly mounts. Clearing the iunlinked lists after log recovery needs inactivation to run to free the unreferenced inodes, which (AFAICT) is the only reason why log mounting plays games with the readonly state in the first place. Therefore, change the inactivation predicates to allow inactivation during log recovery of a readonly mount. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong(a)kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner(a)redhat.com> Stable-dep-of: 74ad4693b647 ("xfs: fix log recovery when unknown rocompat bits are set") Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il(a)gmail.com> --- Sasha, This 5.15 backport is needed to fix a regression introduced to test generic/417 in kernel v5.15.176. With this backport, kernel v5.15.185 passed the fstests quick run. As you may have noticed, 5.15.y (and 5.10.y) are not being actively maintained by xfs stable maintainer who moved their focus to 6.*.y LTS kernels. The $SUBJECT commit is a dependency of commit 74ad4693b647, as hinted by the wording: "In the next patch, we're going to... This requires...". Indeed, Leah has backported commit 74ad4693b647 to 6.1.y along with its dependency, yet somehow, commit 74ad4693b647 found its way to v5.15.176, without the dependency and without the xfs stable review process. Judging by the line: Stable-dep-of: 652f03db897b ("xfs: remove unknown compat feature check in superblock write validation") that exists only in the 5.15.y tree, I deduce that your bot has auto selected this patch in the process of backporting the commit 652f03db897b, which was explicitly marked for stable v4.19+ [1]. I don't know if there is a lesson to be learned from this incident. Applying xfs backports without running fstests regression is always going to be a gamble. I will leave it up to you to decide if anything in the process of applying xfs patches to <= v5.15.y needs to change. Thanks, Amir.

[PATCH] usb: cdnsp: Fix issue with CV Bad Descriptor test

The SSP2 controller has extra endpoint state preserve bit (ESP) which setting causes that endpoint state will be preserved during Halt Endpoint command. It is used only for EP0. Without this bit the Command Verifier "TD 9.10 Bad Descriptor Test" failed. Setting this bit doesn't have any impact for SSP controller.

The current mTHP swapin path have several problems. It may potentially hang, may cause redundant faults due to false positive swap cache lookup, and it will involve at least 4 Xarray tree walks (get order, get order again, confirm swap, insert folio). And for !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE builds, it will performs some mTHP related checks. This series fixes all of the mentioned issues, and the code should be more robust and prepared for the swap table series. Now tree walks is reduced to twice (get order & confirm, insert folio) and added more sanity checks and comments. !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE build overhead is also minimized, and comes with a sanity check now. The performance is slightly better after this series, sequential swap in of 24G data from ZRAM, using transparent_hugepage_tmpfs=always (36 samples each): Before: avg: 11.23s, stddev: 0.06 After patch 1: avg: 10.92s, stddev: 0.05 After patch 2: avg: 10.93s, stddev: 0.15 After patch 3: avg: 10.07s, stddev: 0.09 After patch 4: avg: 10.09s, stddev: 0.08 Each patch improves the performance by a little, which is about ~10% faster in total. Build kernel test showed very slightly improvement, testing with make -j24 with defconfig in a 256M memcg also using ZRAM as swap, and transparent_hugepage_tmpfs=always (6 samples each): Before: system time avg: 3945.25s After patch 1: system time avg: 3903.21s After patch 2: system time avg: 3914.76s After patch 3: system time avg: 3907.41s After patch 4: system time avg: 3876.24s Slightly better than noise level given the number of samples. Two of the patches in this series come from the swap table series [1], and it is worth noting that the performance gain of this series is independent of the swap table series, we'll see another bigger performance gain and reduction of memory usage after the swap table series. I found these issues while trying to split the shmem changes out of the swap table series for easier reviewing, and found several more issues while doing stress tests for performance comparision. Barry also mentioned that CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE may have redundant checks [2] and I managed to clean them up properly too. No issue is found with a few days of stress testing. This patch (of 4): The current swap-in code assumes that, when a swap entry in shmem mapping is order 0, its cached folios (if present) must be order 0 too, which turns out not always correct. The problem is shmem_split_large_entry is called before verifying the folio will eventually be swapped in, one possible race is: CPU1 CPU2 shmem_swapin_folio /* swap in of order > 0 swap entry S1 */ folio = swap_cache_get_folio /* folio = NULL */ order = xa_get_order /* order > 0 */ folio = shmem_swap_alloc_folio /* mTHP alloc failure, folio = NULL */ <... Interrupted ...> shmem_swapin_folio /* S1 is swapped in */ shmem_writeout /* S1 is swapped out, folio cached */ shmem_split_large_entry(..., S1) /* S1 is split, but the folio covering it has order > 0 now */ Now any following swapin of S1 will hang: `xa_get_order` returns 0, and folio lookup will return a folio with order > 0. The `xa_get_order(&mapping->i_pages, index) != folio_order(folio)` will always return false causing swap-in to return -EEXIST. And this looks fragile. So fix this up by allowing seeing a larger folio in swap cache, and check the whole shmem mapping range covered by the swapin have the right swap value upon inserting the folio. And drop the redundant tree walks before the insertion. This will actually improve the performance, as it avoided two redundant Xarray tree walks in the hot path, and the only side effect is that in the failure path, shmem may redundantly reallocate a few folios causing temporary slight memory pressure. And worth noting, it may seems the order and value check before inserting might help reducing the lock contention, which is not true. The swap cache layer ensures raced swapin will either see a swap cache folio or failed to do a swapin (we have SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit even if swap cache is bypassed), so holding the folio lock and checking the folio flag is already good enough for avoiding the lock contention. The chance that a folio passes the swap entry value check but the shmem mapping slot has changed should be very low.
