KVM/x86: Export RFDS_NO and RFDS_CLEAR to guests

2024-03-15T14:48:13Z

commit 2a0180129d726a4b953232175857d442651b55a0 upstream. Mitigation for RFDS requires RFDS_CLEAR capability which is enumerated by MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES bit 27. If the host has it set, export it to guests so that they can deploy the mitigation. RFDS_NO indicates that the system is not vulnerable to RFDS, export it to guests so that they don't deploy the mitigation unnecessarily. When the host is not affected by X86_BUG_RFDS, but has RFDS_NO=0, synthesize RFDS_NO to the guest.

x86/rfds: Mitigate Register File Data Sampling (RFDS)

2024-03-15T14:48:13Z

commit 8076fcde016c9c0e0660543e67bff86cb48a7c9c upstream. RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors. Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support SMT. Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter "reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

x86/mmio: Disable KVM mitigation when X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF is set

2024-03-15T14:48:13Z

commit e95df4ec0c0c9791941f112db699fae794b9862a upstream. Currently MMIO Stale Data mitigation for CPUs not affected by MDS/TAA is to only deploy VERW at VMentry by enabling mmio_stale_data_clear static branch. No mitigation is needed for kernel->user transitions. If such CPUs are also affected by RFDS, its mitigation may set X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF to deploy VERW at kernel->user and VMentry. This could result in duplicate VERW at VMentry. Fix this by disabling mmio_stale_data_clear static branch when X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF is enabled.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Do not allow large strings (> 4096) as single write to trace_marker The size of a string written into trace_marker was determined by the size of the sub-buffer in the ring buffer. That size is dependent on the PAGE_SIZE of the architecture as it can be mapped into user space. But on PowerPC, where PAGE_SIZE is 64K, that made the limit of the string of writing into trace_marker 64K. One of the selftests looks at the size of the ring buffer sub-buffers and writes that plus more into the trace_marker. The write will take what it can and report back what it consumed so that the user space application (like echo) will write the rest of the string. The string is stored in the ring buffer and can be read via the "trace" or "trace_pipe" files. The reading of the ring buffer uses vsnprintf(), which uses a precision "%.*s" to make sure it only reads what is stored in the buffer, as a bug could cause the string to be non terminated. With the combination of the precision change and the PAGE_SIZE of 64K allowing huge strings to be added into the ring buffer, plus the test that would actually stress that limit, a bug was reported that the precision used was too big for "%.*s" as the string was close to 64K in size and the max precision of vsnprintf is 32K. Linus suggested not to have that precision as it could hide a bug if the string was again stored without a nul byte. Another issue that was brought up is that the trace_seq buffer is also based on PAGE_SIZE even though it is not tied to the architecture limit like the ring buffer sub-buffer is. Having it be 64K * 2 is simply just too big and wasting memory on systems with 64K page sizes. It is now hardcoded to 8K which is what all other architectures with 4K PAGE_SIZE has. Finally, the write to trace_marker is now limited to 4K as there is no reason to write larger strings into trace_marker. - ring_buffer_wait() should not loop. The ring_buffer_wait() does not have the full context (yet) on if it should loop or not. Just exit the loop as soon as its woken up and let the callers decide to loop or not (they already do, so it's a bit redundant). - Fix shortest_full field to be the smallest amount in the ring buffer that a waiter is waiting for. The "shortest_full" field is updated when a new waiter comes in and wants to wait for a smaller amount of data in the ring buffer than other waiters. But after all waiters are woken up, it's not reset, so if another waiter comes in wanting to wait for more data, it will be woken up when the ring buffer has a smaller amount from what the previous waiters were waiting for. - The wake up all waiters on close is incorrectly called frome .release() and not from .flush() so it will never wake up any waiters as the .release() will not get called until all .read() calls are finished. And the wakeup is for the waiters in those .read() calls. * tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v6.8-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers ring-buffer: Fix resetting of shortest_full ring-buffer: Fix waking up ring buffer readers tracing: Limit trace_marker writes to just 4K tracing: Limit trace_seq size to just 8K and not depend on architecture PAGE_SIZE tracing: Remove precision vsnprintf() check from print event

tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers

2024-03-10T16:27:47Z

The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file descriptor are finished. If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(), and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and that will not get called until the .read() is finished. The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue. When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another thread closed its descriptor. This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the readers.

ring-buffer: Fix resetting of shortest_full

2024-03-10T16:27:40Z

The "shortest_full" variable is used to keep track of the waiter that is waiting for the smallest amount on the ring buffer before being woken up. When a tasks waits on the ring buffer, it passes in a "full" value that is a percentage. 0 means wake up on any data. 1-100 means wake up from 1% to 100% full buffer. As all waiters are on the same wait queue, the wake up happens for the waiter with the smallest percentage. The problem is that the smallest_full on the cpu_buffer that stores the smallest amount doesn't get reset when all the waiters are woken up. It does get reset when the ring buffer is reset (echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/trace). This means that tasks may be woken up more often then when they want to be. Instead, have the shortest_full field get reset just before waking up all the tasks. If the tasks wait again, they will update the shortest_full before sleeping. Also add locking around setting of shortest_full in the poll logic, and change "work" to "rbwork" to match the variable name for rb_irq_work structures that are used in other places.
