To do so, we need to resolve this function's address before running the arch-specific livepatch_verify hook.

* [PATCH v5 2/2] xen/x86: Livepatch: support patching CET-enhanced functions 2022-03-09 14:52 [PATCH v5 1/2] Livepatch: resolve old address before function verification Bjoern Doebel @ 2022-03-09 14:53 ` Bjoern Doebel 2022-03-09 15:14 ` Jan Beulich 2022-03-09 17:12 ` Ross Lagerwall 0 siblings, 2 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Bjoern Doebel @ 2022-03-09 14:53 UTC (permalink / raw) To: xen-devel Cc: Michael Kurth, Martin Pohlack, Roger Pau Monne, Andrew Cooper, Bjoern Doebel, Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, Ross Lagerwall Xen enabled CET for supporting architectures. The control flow aspect of CET expects functions that can be called indirectly (i.e., via function pointers) to start with an ENDBR64 instruction. Otherwise a control flow exception is raised. This expectation breaks livepatching flows because we patch functions by overwriting their first 5 bytes with a JMP + <offset>, thus breaking the ENDBR64. We fix this by checking the start of a patched function for being ENDBR64. In the positive case we move the livepatch JMP to start behind the ENDBR64 instruction. To avoid having to guess the ENDBR64 offset again on patch reversal (which might race with other mechanisms adding/removing ENDBR dynamically), use the livepatch metadata to store the computed offset along with the saved bytes of the overwritten function.
