commit 8205d5d98ef7f155de211f5e2eb6ca03d95a5a60 upstream.
When we take an FP unavailable exception in a transaction we have to account for the hardware FP TM checkpointed registers being incorrect. In this case for this process we know the current and checkpointed FP registers must be the same (since FP wasn't used inside the transaction) hence in the thread_struct we copy the current FP registers to the checkpointed ones.
This copy is done in tm_reclaim_thread(). We use thread->ckpt_regs.msr to determine if FP was on when in userspace. thread->ckpt_regs.msr represents the state of the MSR when exiting userspace. This is setup by check_if_tm_restore_required().
Unfortunatley there is an optimisation in giveup_all() which returns early if tsk->thread.regs->msr (via local variable `usermsr`) has FP=VEC=VSX=SPE=0. This optimisation means that check_if_tm_restore_required() is not called and hence thread->ckpt_regs.msr is not updated and will contain an old value.
This can happen if due to load_fp=255 we start a userspace process with MSR FP=1 and then we are context switched out. In this case thread->ckpt_regs.msr will contain FP=1. If that same process is then context switched in and load_fp overflows, MSR will have FP=0. If that process now enters a transaction and does an FP instruction, the FP unavailable will not update thread->ckpt_regs.msr (the bug) and MSR FP=1 will be retained in thread->ckpt_regs.msr. tm_reclaim_thread() will then not perform the required memcpy and the checkpointed FP regs in the thread struct will contain the wrong values.
The code path for this happening is:
Userspace: Kernel Start userspace with MSR FP/VEC/VSX/SPE=0 TM=1 < ----- ... tbegin bne fp instruction FP unavailable ---- > fp_unavailable_tm() tm_reclaim_current() tm_reclaim_thread() giveup_all() return early since FP/VMX/VSX=0 /* ckpt MSR not updated (Incorrect) */ tm_reclaim() /* thread_struct ckpt FP regs contain junk (OK) */ /* Sees ckpt MSR FP=1 (Incorrect) */ no memcpy() performed /* thread_struct ckpt FP regs not fixed (Incorrect) */ tm_recheckpoint() /* Put junk in hardware checkpoint FP regs */ .... < ----- Return to userspace with MSR TM=1 FP=1 with junk in the FP TM checkpoint TM rollback reads FP junk
This is a data integrity problem for the current process as the FP registers are corrupted. It's also a security problem as the FP registers from one process may be leaked to another.
This patch moves up check_if_tm_restore_required() in giveup_all() to ensure thread->ckpt_regs.msr is updated correctly.
A simple testcase to replicate this will be posted to tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-poison.c
Similarly for VMX.
This fixes CVE-2019-15030.
