(5) I've had an idea here, but I'm mentioning it only for completeness. It will not matter after we fix <https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1091>, but until then, you could find it useful. Up to you: We could move "StuffRsb.inc" to "UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/StuffRsb.inc", thereby eliminating the duplication between the Ia32 and X64 subdirectories. And then: > > diff --git a/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/SmiEntry.nasm > b/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/SmiEntry.nasm > index 509e7a0a66..6bbc339c53 100644 > --- a/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/SmiEntry.nasm > +++ b/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/SmiEntry.nasm > @@ -18,6 +18,8 @@ > ; > > ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > +%include "StuffRsb.inc" these %include directives could say "../StuffRsb.inc". I didn't try this in practice, but I figured it's worth mentioning. Feel free to ignore it though; I hope BZ#1091 will be fixed soon. > + > %define MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE 0x1A0 > %define MSR_EFER 0xc0000080 > %define MSR_EFER_XD 0x800 > @@ -204,6 +206,7 @@ ASM_PFX(SmiHandler): > wrmsr > > .7: > + StuffRsb32 > rsm > > ASM_PFX(gcSmiHandlerSize): DW $ - _SmiEntryPoint > diff --git a/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/SmmInit.nasm > b/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/SmmInit.nasm > index 5ff3cd2e73..322b1ab556 100644 > --- a/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/SmmInit.nasm > +++ b/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/SmmInit.nasm > @@ -18,6 +18,8 @@ > ; > > ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > +%include "StuffRsb.inc" > + > extern ASM_PFX(SmmInitHandler) > extern ASM_PFX(mRebasedFlag) > extern ASM_PFX(mSmmRelocationOriginalAddress) > @@ -75,6 +77,7 @@ BITS 32 > mov esp, strict dword 0 ; source operand will be patched > ASM_PFX(gPatchSmmInitStack): > call ASM_PFX(SmmInitHandler) > + StuffRsb32 > rsm > > BITS 16 > diff --git a/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/StuffRsb.inc > b/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/StuffRsb.inc > new file mode 100644 > index 0000000000..3fd481a8d3 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/Ia32/StuffRsb.inc > @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ > +;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > +; > +; Copyright (c) 2018, Intel Corporation.

Maybe say "This file provides macro definitions for Stuffing the Return Stack Buffer (RSB)". Otherwise, the patch looks good to me. This is to say that what it does does not look broken to me (i.e. it appears "sound"); however I can't tell whether it actually suffices for the stated purpose (i.e. if it is "complete"). For that reason, I prefer to give an A-b rather than an R-b: Acked-by: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> (The stack footprint is 32*4=128 bytes in the IA32 case and 32*8=256 bytes in the X64 case; I think that should conveniently fit in the outermost part of the SMM stack.) Furthermore, I've tested this. Using the Q35 machine type, with the series built into OVMF with -D SMM_REQUIRE, on top of commit b9130c866dc0. I used the tests described here: <https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Testing-SMM-with-QEMU,-KVM-and-libvirt>. - with Linux guests: - Fedora (IA32) - Fedora (IA32X64) - RHEL7 (IA32X64) - with Windows guests (all IA32X64): - Windows 7 - Windows Server 2008 R2 - Windows 8.1 - Windows Server 2012 R2 - Windows 10 - Windows Server 2016 (boot only, didn't test S3) Again, see the "sound" vs. "complete" distinction -- I can't test whether the patch actively fixes a "retpoline interference" issue; I can only say it appears to regress nothing for me. Regression-tested-by: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> (Please remember that the above tags are conditional on fixing (1) through (4), and (6). It's OK to ignore (5).)
