Subject: [PATCH v10 14/18] x86/speculation/swapgs: Check FSGSBASE in enabling SWAPGS mitigation
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2020 19:22:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200423232207.5797-15-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200423232207.5797-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Before enabling FSGSBASE the kernel could safely assume that the content
of GS base was a user address. Thus any speculative access as the result
of a mispredicted branch controlling the execution of SWAPGS would be to
a user address. So systems with speculation-proof SMAP did not need to
add additional LFENCE instructions to mitigate.

With FSGSBASE enabled a hostile user can set GS base to a kernel address.
So they can make the kernel speculatively access data they wish to leak
via a side channel. This means that SMAP provides no protection.

Add FSGSBASE as an additional condition to enable the fence-based SWAPGS
mitigation.
