3.2.101-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk>
commit 2fbd7af5af8665d18bcefae3e9700be07e22b681 upstream.
The upstream version of this, touching C code, was written by Dan Williams,
with the following description:
> The syscall table base is a user controlled function pointer in kernel
> space. Use array_index_nospec() to prevent any out of bounds speculation.
>
> While retpoline prevents speculating into a userspace directed target it
> does not stop the pointer de-reference, the concern is leaking memory
> relative to the syscall table base, by observing instruction cache
> behavior.
The x86_64 assembly version for 4.4 was written by Jiri Slaby, with
the following description:
> In 4.4.118, we have commit c8961332d6da (x86/syscall: Sanitize syscall
> table de-references under speculation), which is a backport of upstream
> commit 2fbd7af5af86. But it fixed only the C part of the upstream patch
> -- the IA32 sysentry. So it ommitted completely the assembly part -- the
> 64bit sysentry.
>
> Fix that in this patch by explicit array_index_mask_nospec written in
> assembly. The same was used in lib/getuser.S.
>
> However, to have "sbb" working properly, we have to switch from "cmp"
> against (NR_syscalls-1) to (NR_syscalls), otherwise the last syscall
> number would be "and"ed by 0. It is because the original "ja" relies on
> "CF" or "ZF", but we rely only on "CF" in "sbb". That means: switch to
> "jae" conditional jump too.
>
> Final note: use rcx for mask as this is exactly what is overwritten by
> the 4th syscall argument (r10) right after.
In 3.2 the x86_32 syscall table lookup is also written in assembly.
So I've taken Jiri's version and added similar masking in entry_32.S,
using edx as the temporary. edx is clobbered by SAVE_REGS and seems
to be free at this point.
In 3.2 the x86_64 entry code also lacks syscall masking for x32.
