[RFC PATCH 00/16] PTI support for x86-32

[RFC PATCH 00/16] PTI support for x86-32

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

Hi,

here is my current WIP code to enable PTI on x86-32. It is
still in a pretty early state, but it successfully boots my
KVM guest with PAE and with legacy paging. The existing PTI
code for x86-64 already prepares a lot of the stuff needed
for 32 bit too, thanks for that to all the people involved
in its development :)

The patches are split as follows:

	- 1-3 contain the entry-code changes to enter and
	  exit the kernel via the sysenter trampoline stack.

	- 4-7 are fixes to get the code compile on 32 bit
	  with CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y.

	- 8-14 adapt the existing PTI code to work properly
	  on 32 bit and add the needed parts to 32 bit
	  page-table code.

	- 15 switches PTI on by adding the CR3 switches to
	  kernel entry/exit.

	- 16 enables the Kconfig for all of X86

The code has not run on bare-metal yet, I'll test that in
the next days once I setup a 32 bit box again. I also havn't
tested Wine and DosEMU yet, so this might also be broken.

With that post I'd like to ask for all kinds of constructive
feedback on the approaches I have taken and of course the
many things I broke with it :)

One of the things that are surely broken is XEN_PV support.
I'd appreciate any help with testing and bugfixing on that
front.

So please review and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

	Joerg

[PATCH 01/16] x86/entry/32: Rename TSS_sysenter_sp0 to TSS_sysenter_stack

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

The stack addresss doesn't need to be stored in tss.sp0 if
we switch manually like on sysenter. Rename the offset so
that it still makes sense when we its location.

[PATCH 02/16] x86/entry/32: Enter the kernel via trampoline stack

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

Use the sysenter stack as a trampoline stack to enter the
kernel. The sysenter stack is already in the cpu_entry_area
and will be mapped to userspace when PTI is enabled.

[PATCH 02/16] x86/entry/32: Enter the kernel via trampoline stack

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

Use the sysenter stack as a trampoline stack to enter the
kernel. The sysenter stack is already in the cpu_entry_area
and will be mapped to userspace when PTI is enabled.

[PATCH 07/16] x86/mm: Move two more functions from pgtable_64.h to pgtable.h

These two functions are required for PTI on 32 bit:

	* pgdp_maps_userspace()
	* pgd_large()

Also re-implement pgdp_maps_userspace() so that it will work
on 64 and 32 bit kernels.

[PATCH 08/16] x86/pgtable/32: Allocate 8k page-tables when PTI is enabled

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

Allocate a kernel and a user page-table root when PTI is
enabled. Also allocate a full page per root for PAEm because
otherwise the bit to flip in cr3 to switch between them
would be non-constant, which creates a lot of hassle.
Keep that for a later optimization.

[PATCH 08/16] x86/pgtable/32: Allocate 8k page-tables when PTI is enabled

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

Allocate a kernel and a user page-table root when PTI is
enabled. Also allocate a full page per root for PAEm because
otherwise the bit to flip in cr3 to switch between them
would be non-constant, which creates a lot of hassle.
Keep that for a later optimization.

[PATCH 09/16] x86/mm/pti: Clone CPU_ENTRY_AREA on PMD level on x86_32

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

Cloning on the P4D level would clone the complete kernel
address space into the user-space page-tables for PAE
kernels. Cloning on PMD level is fine for PAE and legacy
paging.

[PATCH 10/16] x86/mm/pti: Populate valid user pud entries

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

With PAE paging we don't have PGD and P4D levels in the
page-table, instead the PUD level is the highest one.

In PAE page-tables at the top-level most bits we usually set
with _KERNPG_TABLE are reserved, resulting in a #GP when
they are loaded by the processor.

Work around this by populating PUD entries in the user
page-table only with _PAGE_PRESENT set.

I am pretty sure there is a cleaner way to do this, but
until I find it use this #ifdef solution.

[PATCH 12/16] x86/mm/pae: Populate the user page-table with user pgd's

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

This is the last part of the PAE page-table setup for PAE
before we can add the CR3 switch to the entry code.

[PATCH 13/16] x86/mm/pti: Add an overflow check to pti_clone_pmds()

[Joerg Roedel]

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

The addr counter will overflow if we clone the last PMD of
the address space, resulting in an endless loop.

Check for that and bail out of the loop when it happens.

LDT is 64k, we need 2 per CPU, and NR_CPUS <= 64 on 32bit, that gives

Just lower the max SMP setting until it fits or something. 32bit is too
address space starved for lots of CPU in any case, 64 CPUs on 32bit is
absolutely insane.

Maybe we can just scale the amount of reserved space according to the
current NR_CPUS setting. In this way, we won't waste more memory than is
necessary.

One of the reasons to implement it the other way:

-	return (ptr & ~PAGE_MASK) < (PAGE_SIZE / 2);

is that the compiler can do this all quickly.  KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY
depends on PAGE_OFFSET which depends on a variable.  IOW, the compiler
can't do it.

How much worse is the code that this generates?

Ugh.  The ghosts of PAE have come back to haunt us.

Could we do:

static inline bool pgd_supports_nx(unsigned long)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64

	/* No 32-bit page tables support NX at PGD level */

Joerg,

Very cool!.

I really appreciate you putting this together.  I don't see any real
showstoppers or things that I think will *break* 64-bit.  I just hope
that we can merge this _slowly_ in case it breaks 64-bit along the way.

I didn't look at the assembly in too much detail.

Yes, I'm very happy to see that this is actually not nearly as bad as
I feared it might be,

Some of those #ifdef's in the PTI code you added might want more
commentary about what the exact differences are. And maybe they could
be done more cleanly with some abstraction. But nothing looked
_horrible_.

But yes, checking bare metal, and checking the "odd" applications like
Wine and dosemu (and kvm etc) within the PTI kernel is certainly a
good idea.

Xen PV and PTI don't work together even on x86-64 afaik, the Xen
people apparently felt it wasn't worth it.  See the

        if (hypervisor_is_type(X86_HYPER_XEN_PV)) {
                pti_print_if_insecure("disabled on XEN PV.");
                return;
        }

I havn't looked at the actual code this generates, but the
(PAGE_SIZE / 2) comparison doesn't work on 32 bit where the address
space is not always evenly split. I'll look into a better way to check
this.

64bit PV guests under Xen already have split pagetables.  It is a base
and necessary part of the ABI, because segment limits stopped working in
64bit.

32bit PV guests aren't split, but by far the most efficient way of doing
this is to introduce a new enlightenment and have Xen switch all this
stuff (and IBRS, for that matter) on behalf of the guest kernel on
context switch.

   return (ptr & ~PAGE_MASK) < PGD_SPLIT_SIZE);

and define it PAGE_SIZE/2 for 64bit and for PAE make it depend on the
configured address space split.

Everything besides PRESENT, PCD, PWT and the actual physical address, so

Sure, it needs a lot more testing and most likely fixing anyway. So
there is still some way to go before this is ready for merging.

Yeah, I was looking at the original PTI patches and my impression was
that a lot of the complicated stuff (like setting up the cpu_entry_area)
was already in there for 32 bit too. So it was mostly about the entry
code and some changes to the 32bit page-table code.

I'll add more comments and better abstraction, Dave has already

But I might have broken something for them anyway, honestly I didn't pay

Just a minor nit. You already wrap pti_clone_p4d() into X86_64. So it would
be cleaner to do:

  	kernel_p4d = p4d_offset(kernel_pgd, addr);
  	*user_p4d = *kernel_p4d;

Heh, that's an entertaining way to do it.  Joerg, if you go do it this
way, it would be nice to add all the other gunk that we don't allow to
be set in the PAE pgd.

Impressively small and well done !

Can you please make that patch set against

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-pti-for-linus

so we immediately have it backportable for 4.14 stable? It's only a trivial
conflict in pgtable.h, but we'd like to make the life of stable as simple
as possible. They have enough headache with the pre 4.14 trees.

We can pick some of the simple patches which make defines and inlines
available out of the pile right away and apply them to x86/pti to shrink
the amount of stuff you have to worry about.

Thanks,

I was going to say that this is just too magical.  The convention is
that STRUCT_member refers to "member" of "STRUCT".  Here you're
encoding a more complicated calculation.  How about putting just the
needed offsets in asm_offsets and putting the actual calculation in

This belongs in asm_offsets.c.  Just move the asm_offsets_64.c version
there and call it a day.

This is incomprehensible.  You're adding what appears to be the offset
of sysenter_stack within the TSS to something based on esp and
dereferencing that to get the new esp.  That't not actually what
you're doing, but please change asm_offsets.c (as in my previous
email) to avoid putting serious arithmetic in it and then do the
arithmetic right here so that it's possible to follow what's going on.

This is wrong, I think.  If you get an nmi in kernel mode but while
still on the sysenter stack, you blow up.  IIRC we have some crazy
code already to handle this (for nmi and #DB), and maybe that's
already adequate or can be made adequate, but at the very least this
needs a big comment explaining why it's okay.

It's high time we unified the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the code.
This isn't necessarily needed for your series, though.

Do you know what the issue is?

As a general comment, the interaction between this patch and vm86 is a
bit scary.  In vm86 mode, the kernel gets entered with extra stuff on
the stack, which may screw up all your offsets.

How about marking nr_regs with :req to force everyone to be explicit?

This is incomprehensible.  You're adding what appears to be the offset
of sysenter_stack within the TSS to something based on esp and
dereferencing that to get the new esp.  That't not actually what
you're doing, but please change asm_offsets.c (as in my previous
email) to avoid putting serious arithmetic in it and then do the
arithmetic right here so that it's possible to follow what's going on.

This would be more readable if you put nr_regs in here.

This is wrong, I think.  If you get an nmi in kernel mode but while
still on the sysenter stack, you blow up.  IIRC we have some crazy
code already to handle this (for nmi and #DB), and maybe that's
already adequate or can be made adequate, but at the very least this
needs a big comment explaining why it's okay.

It's high time we unified the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the code.
This isn't necessarily needed for your series, though.

Do you know what the issue is?

As a general comment, the interaction between this patch and vm86 is a
bit scary.  In vm86 mode, the kernel gets entered with extra stuff on
the stack, which may screw up all your offsets.

Hmm.  This is okay, I guess, but any code that actually uses this
definition is inherently wrong, since 32-bit implies !PCID.

Yikes!  We're not *supposed* to be able to observe an asynchronous
descriptor table change, but if the LDT changes out from under you,
this is going to blow up badly.  It would be really nice if you could
pull this off without percpu access or without needing to do this
dance where you load user FS, then kernel FS, then user FS.  If that's
not doable, then you should at least add exception handling -- look at
the other 'pop %fs' instructions in entry_32.S.

If this works like it does on 64-bit, it only needs 128k regardless of
the number of CPUs.  The LDT mapping is specific to the mm.

How are you dealing with PAE here?  That is, what's your pagetable
layout?  What parts of the address space are owned by what code?

This (and next patch's SWITCH_TO_ENTRY_STACK) need X86_FEATURE_PTI check.

Ah, then I got my LDT things confused again... which is certainly
possible, we had a few too many variants back then.

Hmm, on bare metal the stack switch happens regardless of the
X86_FEATURE_PTI feature being set, because we always program tss.sp0
with the systenter stack. How is the kernel entry stack setup on xen-pv?
I think something is missing there instead.

Probably this needs better comments. So TSS_sysenter_stack is the offset
from to tss.sp0 (tss.sp1 later) from the _bottom_ of the stack. But in
this macro the stack might not be empty, it has a configurable (by
\nr_regs) number of dwords on it. Before this instruction we also do a
push %edi, so we need (\nr_regs + 1).

This can't be put into asm_offset.c, as the actual offset depends on how
much is on the stack.

You are right, check_user shouldn't ne needed as INT80 is never called
from kernel mode.

If we get an nmi while still on the sysenter stack, then we are not
entering the handler from user-space and the above code will do
nothing and behave as before.

But you are right, it might blow up. There is a problem with the cr3
switch, because the nmi can happen in kernel mode before the cr3 is
switched, then this handler will not do the cr3 switch itself and crash
the kernel. But the stack switching should be fine, I think.

No, not yet, I will look into that again. But first I want to get

Just read up on vm86 mode control transfers and the stack layout then.
Looks like I need to check for eflags.vm=1 and copy four more registers
from/to the entry stack. Thanks for pointing that out.

You are right! This also means I need to do the 'popl %fs' before the
cr3-switch. I'll fix it in the next version.

I have no real idea on how to switch back to the entry stack without
access to per_cpu variables. I also can't access the cpu_entry_area for
the cpu yet, because for that we need to be on the entry stack already.

Yes, I tried another approach first which just #ifdef'ed out the
relevant parts in tlbflush.h which use this bit. But that seemed to be
the wrong path, as there is more PCID code that is compiled in for 32
bit. So defining the bit for 32 bit seemed to be the cleaner solution
for now.

But then again, you could take a fault on the trampoline stack if you
get a bad segment.  Perhaps just pushing the new stack pointer onto
the process stack before user segment loads will be the right move.

There is one single stack registered with Xen, on which you get a normal
exception frame in all cases, even via the registered (virtual)
syscall/sysenter/failsafe handlers.

That requires to copy most of pt_regs from task- to trampoline-stack,
not sure if that is faster than temporily restoring kernel %fs.

User segment loads pop from the stack, so having anything on-top also
doesn't work.

Maybe I can leave some space at the bottom of the task-stack at entry
time and store the pointer there on exit, if that doesn't confuse the
stack unwinder too much.

If you put it at the end of the stack page, I _think_ all you'd have to
do is just adjust TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING.

And so the check should be at least against X86_FEATURE_XENPV, not
necessarily X86_FEATURE_PTI.

But I guess you can still check against X86_FEATURE_PTI since without it
there is not much reason to switch stacks?

You could just copy those slots unconditionally.  After all, you're
slowing down entries by an epic amount due to writing CR3 on with PCID
off, so four words copied should be entirely lost in the noise.  OTOH,
checking for VM86 mode is just a single bt against EFLAGS.

With the modern (rewritten a year or two ago by Brian Gerst) vm86
code, all the slots (those actually in pt_regs) are in the same
location regardless of whether we're in VM86 mode or not, but we're
still fiddling with the bottom of the stack.  Since you're controlling
the switch to the kernel thread stack, you can easily just write the
frame to the correct location, so you should not need to context
switch sp1 -- you can do it sanely and leave sp1 as the actual bottom
of the kernel stack no matter what.  In fact, you could probably avoid
context switching sp0, either, which would be a nice cleanup.

So I recommend the following.  Keep sp0 as the bottom of the sysenter
stack no matter what.  Then do:

bt $X86_EFLAGS_VM_BIT
jc .Lfrom_vm_\@

push 5 regs to real stack, starting at four-word offset (so they're in
the right place)
update %esp
...
.Lupdate_esp_\@

.Lfrom_vm_\@:
push 9 regs to real stack, starting at the bottom
jmp .Lupdate_esp_\@

Does that seem reasonable?  It's arguably much nicer than what we have now.

With the modern (rewritten a year or two ago by Brian Gerst) vm86
code, all the slots (those actually in pt_regs) are in the same
location regardless of whether we're in VM86 mode or not, but we're
still fiddling with the bottom of the stack.  Since you're controlling
the switch to the kernel thread stack, you can easily just write the
frame to the correct location, so you should not need to context
switch sp1 -- you can do it sanely and leave sp1 as the actual bottom
of the kernel stack no matter what.  In fact, you could probably avoid
context switching sp0, either, which would be a nice cleanup.

So I recommend the following.  Keep sp0 as the bottom of the sysenter
stack no matter what.  Then do:

bt $X86_EFLAGS_VM_BIT
jc .Lfrom_vm_\@

push 5 regs to real stack, starting at four-word offset (so they're in
the right place)
update %esp
...
.Lupdate_esp_\@

.Lfrom_vm_\@:
push 9 regs to real stack, starting at the bottom
jmp .Lupdate_esp_\@

Does that seem reasonable?  It's arguably much nicer than what we have now.

I would optimize for simplicity, not speed.  You're already planning
to write to CR3, which is serializing, blows away the TLB, *and* takes
the absurdly large amount of time that the microcode needs to blow
away the TLB.

(For whatever reason, Intel doesn't seem to have hardware that can
quickly wipe the TLB.  I suspect that the actual implementation does
it in a loop and wipes little pieces at a time.  Whatever it actually
does, the CR3 write itself is very slow.)

But that looks like a good idea. Having a consistent stack with and

Okay, so I am going to do the stack-switch before pt_regs is restored.
This is at least better than playing games with hiding the entry/exit

Thanks for your help with testing this patch-set, but I recommend to
wait for the next version, as review already found a couple of bugs that
might crash your system. For example there are NMI cases that might
crash your machine because the NMI happens in kernel mode before the cr3
switch. VM86 mode is also definitly broken.

I am about to fix that and will send a new version, if all goes well, at
some point next week.

Thanks for heads-up. I guess I can disable NMI avoid VM86.

CONFIG_X86_PTDUMP_CORE should be responsible for boot fail. Disabling
it is not at all easy, as CONFIG_EMBEDDED selects CONFIG_EXPERTS
selects CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL selects CONFIG_X86_PTDUMP_CORE. (Crazy, if
you ask me). You may want to test with that enabled. Patch below might
fix it. (Signed-off-by: me).

Tests so far: kernel boots in qemu. Whole system boots on thinkpad
T40p, vulnerabities/meltdown says mitigation: PTI.. so I guess it
works.

Tested-by: me. :-)

Best regards,
								Pavel

You're supposed to read what I meant, not what I said...

I meant that we could have sp0 have a genuinely constant value per
cpu.  That means that the entry trampoline ends up with RIP, etc in a
different place depending on whether VM was in use, but the entry
trampoline code should be able to handle that.  sp1 would have a value
that varies by task, but it could just point to the top of the stack
instead of being changed depending on whether VM is in use.  Instead,
the entry trampoline would offset the registers as needed to keep
pt_regs in the right place.

I think you already figured all of that out, though :)

Re: [RFC PATCH 00/16] PTI support for x86-32

[Nadav Amit]

I am looking on PTI on x86-32, but I did not mange to get the PoC to work on
this setup (kaslr disabled, similar setup works on 64-bit).

Did you use any PoC to “test” the protection?

Thanks,

Re: [RFC PATCH 00/16] PTI support for x86-32

[Nadav Amit]

I wanted to see whether segments protection can be a replacement for PTI
(yes, excluding SMEP emulation), or whether speculative execution “ignores”
limit checks, similarly to the way paging protection is skipped.

It does seem that segmentation provides sufficient protection from Meltdown.
The “reliability” test of Gratz PoC fails if the segment limit is set to
prevent access to the kernel memory. [ It passes if the limit is not set,
even if the DS is reloaded. ] My test is enclosed below.

So my question: wouldn’t it be much more efficient to use segmentation
protection for x86-32, and allow users to choose whether they want SMEP-like
protection if needed (and then enable PTI)?

[ There might be some corner cases in which setting a segment limit
introduces a problem, for example when modify_ldt() is used to set invalid
limit, but I presume that these are relatively uncommon, can be detected on
runtime, and PTI can then be used as a fallback mechanism. ]

Thanks,
Nadav

That's what we did long long ago, with user space segments actually
using the limit (in fact, if you go back far enough, the kernel even
used the base).

You'd have to make sure that the LDT loading etc do not allow CPL3
segments with base+limit past TASK_SIZE, so that people can't generate
their own.  And the TLS segments also need to be limited (and
remember, the limit has to be TASK_SIZE-base, not just TASK_SIZE).

And we should check with Intel that segment limit checking really is
guaranteed to be done before any access.

Too bad x86-64 got rid of the segments ;)

No idea about Intel, but at least on Transmeta CPUs the limit check was asynchronous with the access.

Thanks. I’ll try to check with Intel liaison people of VMware (my employer),

Actually, as I noted in a different thread, running 32-bit binaries on
x86_64 in legacy-mode, without PTI, performs considerably better than x86_64
binaries with PTI for workloads that are hit the most (e.g., Redis). By
dynamically removing the 64-bit user-CS from the GDT, this mode should be
safe, as long as CS load is not done speculatively.

Thanks for testing this, if this turns out to be true for all affected
uarchs it would be a great and better way of protection than enabling
PTI.

But I'd like an official statement from Intel on that one, as their
recommended fix is still to use PTI.

And as you said, if it turns out that this works only on some Intel
uarchs, we can also detect it at runtime and then chose the fasted

That's made me remember something about segment limits applying in 64bit mode.
I really can't remember the details at all.
I'm sure it had something to do with one of the VM implementations restricting
memory accesses.

Some AMD chips have long-mode segment limits, not sure if Intel has them
too. But they are useless here because the limit is 32 bit and can only
protect the upper 4GB of virtual address space. The limits also don't
apply to GS and CS segements.

Yes, and after looking a while into it, it would make a nice cleanup for
the entry code. On the other side, it would change the layout for the
in-kernel 'struct pt_regs', so that the user-visible pt_regs ends up
with a different layout than the one we use in the the kernel.

This can certainly be all worked out, but it makes this nice entry-code
cleanup not so nice and clean anymore. At least the work required to
make it work without breaking user-space is not in the scope of this

I don't think this is necessarily the case.  We end up with four more
fields that are logically there at the end of pt_regs (which is
already kind-of-sort-of the case), but we don't actually need to put
them in struct pt_regs.  We just end up with (regs + 1) != "top of
task stack", but even that has precedent -- it's already true for
tasks in vm86 mode.

Agreed.  This should probably be saved for later.  Except that your
patch set still needs to come up with some way to function correctly
on vm86.

Yes, but TMTA had a really odd uarch and didn't check segment limits natively.

When you do it in hardware. the limit check is actually fairly natural
to do early rather than late (since it acts on the linear address
_before_ base add and TLB lookup).

So it's not like it can't be done late, but there are reasons why a
traditional microarchitecture might always end up doing the limit
check early and so segmentation might be a good defense against
meltdown on 32-bit Intel.

Astro might in fact have been more synchronous than most modern machines

I will try to investigate, but as you can imagine the amount of
bandwidth I might be able to get on this is definitely going to be limited.

All of the below is generic discussion that almost certainly can be
found in some form in Hennesey & Patterson, and so I don't have to worry
about giving away Intel secrets:

It isn't really true that it is natural to check this early.  One of the
most fundamental frequency limiters in a modern CPU architecture
(meaning anything from the last 20 years or so) has been the
data-dependent AGU-D$-AGU loop.  Note that this doesn't even include the
TLB: the TLB is looked up in parallel with the D$, and if the result was
*either* a cache-TLB mismatch or a TLB miss the result is prevented from
committing.

In the case of the x86, the AGU receives up to three sources plus the
segment base, and if possible given the target process and gates
available might be designed to have a unified 4-input adder, with the
3-input case for limit checks being done separately.

Misses and even more so exceptions (which are far less frequent than
misses) are demoted to a slower where the goal is to prevent commit
rather than trying to race to be in the data path.  So although it is
natural to *issue* the load and the limit check at the same time, the
limit check is still going to be deferred.  Whether or not it is
permitted to be fully asynchronous with the load is probably a tradeoff
of timing requirements vs complexity.  At least theoretically one could
imagine a machine which would take the trap after the speculative
machine had already chased the pointer loop several levels down; this
would most likely mean separate uops to allow for the existing
out-of-order machine to do the bookkeeping.

It's not quite the same but in the IA-64 case you can write itanium code
that does exactly that. The speculation is expressed in software not
hardware (because you can trigger a load, then check later if it worked
out and respond appripriately).

Hi,

I've waited for this patches for a long time, until I've tried to
exploit meltdown on some old 32-bit CPUs and failed. Pentium M
seems to speculatively execute the second load with eax
always equal to 0:

	movzx (%[addr]), %%eax
	shl $12, %%eax
	movzx (%[target], %%eax), %%eax

And on Pentium 4-based Xeon the second load seems to be never executed,
even without shift (shifts are slow on some or all Pentium 4's). Maybe
not all P6 and Netbursts CPUs are affected, but I'm not sure. Maybe the
kernel, at least on 32-bit, should try to exploit meltdown to test if
the CPU is really affected.


The series boots on Pentium M (and crashes when I've used perf,
but it is an already known issue). However, I don't like
the performance regression with CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=n
(about 7.2%), trivial "benchmark":

--- cut here ---
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void)
{
	unsigned long i;
	int fd;

	fd = open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY);
	for (i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
		char x = 0;
		write(fd, &x, 1);
	}
	return 0;
}
--- cut here ---

Time (on Pentium M 1.73 GHz):

baseline (4.15.0-rc8-gdda3e152):		2.415 s (+/- 0.64%)
patched, without CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=n	2.588 s (+/- 0.01%)

It is: we don't think segmentation works on all processors as a defence.

The PoC apparently does not work with 3GB of memory or more on 32-bit. Does
you setup has more? Can you try the attack while setting max_addr=1G ?

No, I tested on:

Pentium M (Dothan): 1.5 GB RAM, PAE for NX, 2GB/2GB split

CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G=y
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x80000000
CONFIG_X86_PAE=y

and

Xeon (Pentium 4): 2 GB RAM, no PAE, 1.75GB/2.25GB split
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT=y
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x78000000


Now I'm testing with standard settings on
Pentium M: 1.5 GB RAM, no PAE, 3GB/1GB split, ~890 MB RAM available

CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xc0000000
CONFIG_X86_PAE=n

and it still does not work.

reliability from https://github.com/IAIK/meltdown reports 0.38%
(1/256 = 0.39%, "true" random), and other libkdump tools does not work.

https://github.com/paboldin/meltdown-exploit (on linux_proc_banner
symbol) reports:
cached = 46, uncached = 515, threshold 153
read c0897020 = ff   (score=0/1000)
read c0897021 = ff   (score=0/1000)
read c0897022 = ff   (score=0/1000)
read c0897023 = ff   (score=0/1000)
read c0897024 = ff   (score=0/1000)
NOT VULNERABLE

and my exploit with:

	for (i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
		unsigned char *px = p + (i << 12);

		t = rdtsc();
		readb(px);
		t = rdtsc() - t;
		if (t < 100)
			printf("%02x %lld\n", i, t);
	}

loop returns only "00 45". When I change the exploit code (now based
on paboldin code to be sure) to:

	movzx (%[addr]), %%eax
	movl $0xaa, %%eax
	shl $12, %%eax
	movzx (%[target], %%eax), %%eax

I always get "0xaa 51", so the CPU is speculatively executing the second
load with (0xaa << 12) in eax, and without the movl instruction, eax seems
to be always 0. I even tried to remove the shift:

	movzx (%[addr]), %%eax
	movzx (%[target], %%eax), %%eax

and I've been reading known value (from /dev/mem, for instance 0x20),
I've modified target array offset, and the CPU is still touching "wrong"
cacheline, eax == 0 instead of 0x20. I've also tested movl instead
of movzx (with and 0xff).


On Core 2 Quad in 64-bit mode everything works as expected, vulnerable
to Meltdown (I did not test it in 32-bit mode). I don't have any Core
"1" to test.

On that Pentium M syscall slowdown caused by PTI is huge, 7.5 times slower
(7 times compared to patched kernel with disabled PTI), on Skylake with
PCID the same trivial benchmark is "only" 3.5 times slower (and 5.2
times slower without PCID).

No, I tested on:

Pentium M (Dothan): 1.5 GB RAM, PAE for NX, 2GB/2GB split

CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G=y
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x80000000
CONFIG_X86_PAE=y

and

Xeon (Pentium 4): 2 GB RAM, no PAE, 1.75GB/2.25GB split
CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT=y
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x78000000


Now I'm testing with standard settings on
Pentium M: 1.5 GB RAM, no PAE, 3GB/1GB split, ~890 MB RAM available

CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xc0000000
CONFIG_X86_PAE=n

and it still does not work.

reliability from https://github.com/IAIK/meltdown reports 0.38%
(1/256 = 0.39%, "true" random), and other libkdump tools does not work.

https://github.com/paboldin/meltdown-exploit (on linux_proc_banner
symbol) reports:
cached = 46, uncached = 515, threshold 153
read c0897020 = ff   (score=0/1000)
read c0897021 = ff   (score=0/1000)
read c0897022 = ff   (score=0/1000)
read c0897023 = ff   (score=0/1000)
read c0897024 = ff   (score=0/1000)
NOT VULNERABLE

and my exploit with:

	for (i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
		unsigned char *px = p + (i << 12);

		t = rdtsc();
		readb(px);
		t = rdtsc() - t;
		if (t < 100)
			printf("%02x %lld\n", i, t);
	}

loop returns only "00 45". When I change the exploit code (now based
on paboldin code to be sure) to:

	movzx (%[addr]), %%eax
	movl $0xaa, %%eax
	shl $12, %%eax
	movzx (%[target], %%eax), %%eax

I always get "0xaa 51", so the CPU is speculatively executing the second
load with (0xaa << 12) in eax, and without the movl instruction, eax seems
to be always 0. I even tried to remove the shift:

	movzx (%[addr]), %%eax
	movzx (%[target], %%eax), %%eax

and I've been reading known value (from /dev/mem, for instance 0x20),
I've modified target array offset, and the CPU is still touching "wrong"
cacheline, eax == 0 instead of 0x20. I've also tested movl instead
of movzx (with and 0xff).


On Core 2 Quad in 64-bit mode everything works as expected, vulnerable
to Meltdown (I did not test it in 32-bit mode). I don't have any Core
"1" to test.

On that Pentium M syscall slowdown caused by PTI is huge, 7.5 times slower
(7 times compared to patched kernel with disabled PTI), on Skylake with
PCID the same trivial benchmark is "only" 3.5 times slower (and 5.2
times slower without PCID).

Thanks for checking and the official statement. So the official
mitigation recommendation is still to use PTI.

Thanks for checking and the official statement. So the official
mitigation recommendation is still to use PTI.
