[PATCH RFC 0/5] cpu/speculation: Add 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation
bugs has become overwhelming for many users.  It's getting more and more
complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given
architecture.  Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to
it own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability.

Most users fall into a few basic categories:

a) they want all CPU speculation mitigations off;

b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if
   it's vulnerable; or

c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if
   vulnerable.

Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an
aggregation of existing options:

- cpu_spec_mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations.

- cpu_spec_mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default
  mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable.

- cpu_spec_mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations,
  disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation.

[PATCH RFC 1/5] cpu/speculation: Add 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation
bugs has become overwhelming for many users.  It's getting more and more
complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given
architecture.  Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to
their own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability.

Most users fall into a few basic categories:

a) they want all mitigations off;

b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if
   it's vulnerable; or

c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if
   vulnerable.

Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an
aggregation of existing options:

- cpu_spec_mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations.

- cpu_spec_mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default
  mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable.

- cpu_spec_mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations,
  disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation.

Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do
anything.  They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

[PATCH RFC 1/5] cpu/speculation: Add 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation
bugs has become overwhelming for many users.  It's getting more and more
complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given
architecture.  Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to
their own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability.

Most users fall into a few basic categories:

a) they want all mitigations off;

b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if
   it's vulnerable; or

c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if
   vulnerable.

Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an
aggregation of existing options:

- cpu_spec_mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations.

- cpu_spec_mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default
  mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable.

- cpu_spec_mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations,
  disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation.

Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do
anything.  They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

"cpu_spec_mitigations" is too long, TBH.

Imagine yourself in a loud, noisy data center - you basically can't wait
to leave - crouched over a keyboard in an impossible position, having
to type that thing and then making a typo. Whoops, too late, already
pressed Enter. Shiiiit!

Now you have to wait at least 15 mins for the damn single-threaded added
value BIOS crap to noodle through all the cores just so you can try
again, because you just rebooted the box.

And I know, my ideas for shorter cmdline options are crazy, like

cpu_spec_mtg=

which people would say, yuck, unreadable...

Oh, I know! How about

cpu_vulns=

?

We already have /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities so it'll be the
same as that. Less things to remember.

Luckily the defaults have already been chosen.  So "reasonable" just
means to use the defaults.

Sure, it's a bit long.  But it's also easier to remember and more
self-documenting than any shortened option I could come up with.

In your scenario, the fact that it's so easy to remember would save the
day, since you wouldn't have to go look up some obscure shortened option
name in the documentation :-)

Suggestions are welcome but I couldn't come up with a reasonable shorter
option.

I agree with those people.  In my world "mtg" is short for meeting.

No, because

a) We aren't enabling/disabling *vulnerabilities*, but rather
   mitigations;

Luckily the defaults have already been chosen.  So "reasonable" just
means to use the defaults.

Sure, it's a bit long.  But it's also easier to remember and more
self-documenting than any shortened option I could come up with.

In your scenario, the fact that it's so easy to remember would save the
day, since you wouldn't have to go look up some obscure shortened option
name in the documentation :-)

Suggestions are welcome but I couldn't come up with a reasonable shorter
option.

No, because

a) We aren't enabling/disabling *vulnerabilities*, but rather
   mitigations;

b) We aren't enabling/disabling *all* CPU mitigations, only the
   speculative ones.

Thinking about this more, we can shave off the first 4 chars and have it
be:

spec_mitigations=

I think it is painfully clear which speculation mitigations we mean. And
the other switches don't have "cpu_" prefixes too so...

Right.

But at least "mitigations=" is nice and short.  We could clarify in the
documentation that it doesn't apply to *all* mitigations, only the ones
which are optional and which can affect performance.

Right.

But at least "mitigations=" is nice and short.  We could clarify in the
documentation that it doesn't apply to *all* mitigations, only the ones
which are optional and which can affect performance.

And it would give us the freedom to include any future "optional"
mitigations, spec or not.

Some of the published SMT attacks are not speculation based.

And arguably we already have an optional mitigation for those, ie. nosmt.

[PATCH RFC 2/5] x86/speculation: Add support for 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Configure x86 runtime CPU speculation bug mitigations in accordance with
the 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options.  This affects Meltdown,
Spectre v2, Speculative Store Bypass, and L1TF.

The default behavior is unchanged.

[PATCH RFC 2/5] x86/speculation: Add support for 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Configure x86 runtime CPU speculation bug mitigations in accordance with
the 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options.  This affects Meltdown,
Spectre v2, Speculative Store Bypass, and L1TF.

The default behavior is unchanged.

Instead of sprinkling that test in those three functions, just do it
once above in check_bugs(), before those *_select_mitigation() functions
get to run and depending on the value, you either run them or use the
default settings, for the OFF case, for example.

Instead of sprinkling that test in those three functions, just do it
once above in check_bugs(), before those *_select_mitigation() functions
get to run and depending on the value, you either run them or use the
default settings, for the OFF case, for example.

My thinking was that the individual options could be used to override
the global option.  But maybe that's overkill?  I dunno.

I assume you mean just the part where L1TF_MITIGATION_DEFAULT is added?

You mean if the user deliberately types:

"cpu_spec_mitigations=off spectre_v2=auto"

on the cmdline to turn off all and then enable only one?

Hmm, yap, sounds like an overkill to me. Then I'd probably do:

	pr_err("Make up your mind already!\n");
	return;

I'd say let's do the simpler and cleaner thing now and think about
supporting this overkill when it really turns out that it is needed.

"cpu_spec_mitigations=off spectre_v2=auto"

on the cmdline to turn off all and then enable only one?

Hmm, yap, sounds like an overkill to me. Then I'd probably do:

	pr_err("Make up your mind already!\n");
	return;

:-))

I'd say let's do the simpler and cleaner thing now and think about
supporting this overkill when it really turns out that it is needed.

> I assume you mean just the part where L1TF_MITIGATION_DEFAULT is added?

Yap.

[PATCH RFC 3/5] powerpc/speculation: Add support for 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Configure powerpc CPU runtime speculation bug mitigations in accordance
with the 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options.  This affects
Meltdown, Spectre v1, Spectre v2, and Speculative Store Bypass.

The default behavior is unchanged.

'!no_nospec' is something that I am sure will come back to hunt me in my 
bad dreams.

But that's been there already, and fixing it is out of scope of this 
patch. Other than that, as discussed previously -- I really like this new 
global option. Feel free to add

Not sure if you meant to omit powerpc from nospectre_v2?

You have patched it in the code below.

Adding a wrapper func that checks for CPU_SPEC_MITIGATIONS_OFF would
make these a little less verbose, eg:

	if (!no_nospec && !cpu_spec_mitigations_off())
  		enable_barrier_nospec(enable);

But that's a nitpick.

Adding a wrapper func that checks for CPU_SPEC_MITIGATIONS_OFF would
make these a little less verbose, eg:

	if (!no_nospec && !cpu_spec_mitigations_off())
  		enable_barrier_nospec(enable);

But that's a nitpick.

Not sure if you meant to omit powerpc from nospectre_v2?

You have patched it in the code below.

[PATCH RFC 5/5] arm64/speculation: Add support for 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options

[Josh Poimboeuf]

Configure arm64 runtime CPU speculation bug mitigations in accordance
with the 'cpu_spec_mitigations=' cmdline options.  This affects
Meltdown and Speculative Store Bypass.

The default behavior is unchanged.

Just wanted to make you aware that this is probably going to conflict badly
with some patches we have pending to hook up the sysfs entries:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2019-March/640326.html

That patch series isn't quite there yet, so I'm expecting a v7, but I think
it will change the shape of this patch quite a lot.
