[PATCH v10 00/18] Enable FSGSBASE instructions

[PATCH v10 00/18] Enable FSGSBASE instructions

[Sasha Levin]

Benefits:
Currently a user process that wishes to read or write the FS/GS base must
make a system call. But recent X86 processors have added new instructions
for use in 64-bit mode that allow direct access to the FS and GS segment
base addresses.  The operating system controls whether applications can
use these instructions with a %cr4 control bit.

In addition to benefits to applications, performance improvements to the
OS context switch code are possible by making use of these instructions. A
third party reported out promising performance numbers out of their
initial benchmarking of the previous version of this patch series [9].

Enablement check:
The kernel provides information about the enabled state of FSGSBASE to
applications using the ELF_AUX vector. If the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit is set in
the AUX vector, the kernel has FSGSBASE instructions enabled and
applications can use them.

Kernel changes:
Major changes made in the kernel are in context switch, paranoid path, and
ptrace. In a context switch, a task's FS/GS base will be secured regardless
of its selector. In the paranoid path, GS base is unconditionally
overwritten to the kernel GS base on entry and the original GS base is
restored on exit. Ptrace includes divergence of FS/GS index and base
values.

Security:
For mitigating the Spectre v1 SWAPGS issue, LFENCE instructions were added
on most kernel entries. Those patches are dependent on previous behaviors
that users couldn't load a kernel address into the GS base. These patches
change that assumption since the user can load any address into GS base.
The changes to the kernel entry path in this patch series take account of
the SWAPGS issue.

Changes from v9:

 - Rebase on top of v5.7-rc1 and re-test.
 - Work around changes in 2fff071d28b5 ("x86/process: Unify
   copy_thread_tls()").
 - Work around changes in c7ca0b614513 ("Revert "x86/ptrace: Prevent
   ptrace from clearing the FS/GS selector" and fix the test").

[PATCH v10 01/18] x86/ptrace: Prevent ptrace from clearing the FS/GS selector

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

When a ptracer writes a ptracee's FS/GS base with a different value, the
selector is also cleared. This behavior is not correct as the selector
should be preserved.

Update only the base value and leave the selector intact. To simplify the
code further remove the conditional checking for the same value as this
code is not performance-critical.

The only recognizable downside of this change is when the selector is
already nonzero on write. The base will be reloaded according to the
selector. But the case is highly unexpected in real usages.

then restore CR3, and restore GS base. Simply do those actions in that
order. Cleaning up the spaghetti code.

[PATCH v10 05/18] x86/entry/64: Switch CR3 before SWAPGS in paranoid entry

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

When FSGSBASE is enabled, the GS base handling in paranoid entry will need
to retrieve the kernel GS base which requires that the kernel page table is
active.

As the CR3 switch to the kernel page tables (PTI is active) does not depend
on kernel GS base, move the CR3 switch in front of the GS base handling.

Comment the EBX content while at it.

No functional change.

[PATCH v10 06/18] x86/entry/64: Introduce the FIND_PERCPU_BASE macro

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

GS base is used to find per-CPU data in the kernel. But when GS base is
unknown, the per-CPU base can be found from the per_cpu_offset table with a
CPU NR.  The CPU NR is extracted from the limit field of the CPUNODE entry
in GDT, or by the RDPID instruction. This is a prerequisite for using
FSGSBASE in the low level entry code.

Also, add the GAS-compatible RDPID macro as binutils 2.21 does not support
it. Support is added in version 2.27.

[PATCH v10 07/18] x86/entry/64: Handle FSGSBASE enabled paranoid entry/exit

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

Without FSGSBASE, user space cannot change GS base other than through a
PRCTL. The kernel enforces that the user space GS base value is positive
as negative values are used for detecting the kernel space GS base value
in the paranoid entry code.

If FSGSBASE is enabled, user space can set arbitrary GS base values without
kernel intervention, including negative ones, which breaks the paranoid
entry assumptions.

To avoid this, paranoid entry needs to unconditionally save the current
GS base value independent of the interrupted context, retrieve and write
the kernel GS base and unconditionally restore the saved value on exit.
The restore happens either in paranoid exit or in the special exit path of
the NMI low level code.

All other entry code paths which use unconditional SWAPGS are not affected
as they do not depend on the actual content.

The new logic for paranoid entry, when FSGSBASE is enabled, removes SWAPGS
and replaces with unconditional WRGSBASE. Hence no fences are needed.

[PATCH v10 08/18] x86/entry/64: Document GSBASE handling in the paranoid path

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

On FSGSBASE systems, the way to handle GS base in the paranoid path is
different from the existing SWAPGS-based entry/exit path handling. Document
the reason and what has to be done for FSGSBASE enabled systems.

[PATCH v10 10/18] x86/fsgsbase/64: Enable FSGSBASE instructions in helper functions

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

Add CPU feature conditional FS/GS base access to the relevant helper
functions. That allows accelerating certain FS/GS base operations in
subsequent changes.

Note, that while possible, the user space entry/exit GS base operations are
not going to use the new FSGSBASE instructions. The reason is that it would
require additional storage for the user space value which adds more
complexity to the low level code and experiments have shown marginal
benefit. This may be revisited later but for now the SWAPGS based handling
in the entry code is preserved except for the paranoid entry/exit code.

[PATCH v10 11/18] x86/fsgsbase/64: Use FSGSBASE in switch_to() if available

[Sasha Levin]

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

With the new FSGSBASE instructions, FS/GS base can be efficiently read
and written in __switch_to(). Use that capability to preserve the full
state.

This will enable user code to do whatever it wants with the new
instructions without any kernel-induced gotchas.  (There can still be
architectural gotchas: movl %gs,%eax; movl %eax,%gs may change GS base
if WRGSBASE was used, but users are expected to read the CPU manual
before doing things like that.)

This is a considerable speedup. It seems to save about 100 cycles per
context switch compared to the baseline 4.6-rc1 behavior on a Skylake
laptop.

[ chang: 5~10% performance improvements were seen by a context switch
  benchmark that ran threads with different FS/GS base values (to the
  baseline 4.16). ]

[PATCH v10 13/18] x86/fsgsbase/64: Use FSGSBASE instructions on thread copy and ptrace

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

When FSGSBASE is enabled, copying threads and reading FS/GS base using
ptrace must read the actual values.

When copying a thread, use fsgs_save() and copy the saved values. For
ptrace, the bases must be read from memory regardless of the selector
if FSGSBASE is enabled.

[PATCH v10 14/18] x86/speculation/swapgs: Check FSGSBASE in enabling SWAPGS mitigation

[Sasha Levin]

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.

[PATCH v10 17/18] x86/elf: Enumerate kernel FSGSBASE capability in AT_HWCAP2

[Sasha Levin]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The kernel needs to explicitly enable FSGSBASE. So, the application needs
to know if it can safely use these instructions. Just looking at the CPUID
bit is not enough because it may be running in a kernel that does not
enable the instructions.

One way for the application would be to just try and catch the SIGILL.
But that is difficult to do in libraries which may not want to overwrite
the signal handlers of the main application.

Enumerate the enabled FSGSBASE capability in bit 1 of AT_HWCAP2 in the ELF
aux vector. AT_HWCAP2 is already used by PPC for similar purposes.

The application can access it open coded or by using the getauxval()
function in newer versions of glibc.

+Using FS and GS segments in user space applications
+===================================================
+
+The x86 architecture supports segmentation. Instructions which access

+notation is used to address a byte within a segment:
+
+  Segment-register:Byte-address
+
+The segment base address is added to the Byte-address to compute the
+resulting virtual address which is accessed. This allows to access multiple
+instances of data with the identical Byte-address, i.e. the same code. The
+selection of a particular instance is purely based on the base-address in
+the segment register.
+
+In 32-bit mode the CPU provides 6 segments, which also support segment
+limits. The limits can be used to enforce address space protections.
+
+In 64-bit mode the CS/SS/DS/ES segments are ignored and the base address is
+always 0 to provide a full 64bit address space. The FS and GS segments are
+still functional in 64-bit mode.
+
+Common FS and GS usage
+------------------------------
+
+The FS segment is commonly used to address Thread Local Storage (TLS). FS
+is usually managed by runtime code or a threading library. Variables
+declared with the '__thread' storage class specifier are instantiated per
+thread and the compiler emits the FS: address prefix for accesses to these
+variables. Each thread has its own FS base address so common code can be
+used without complex address offset calculations to access the per thread
+instances. Applications should not use FS for other purposes when they use
+runtimes or threading libraries which manage the per thread FS.
+
+The GS segment has no common use and can be used freely by
+applications. GCC and Clang support GS based addressing via address space
+identifiers.
+
+Reading and writing the FS/GS base address
+------------------------------------------
+
+There exist two mechanisms to read and write the FS/GS base address:
+
+ - the arch_prctl() system call
+
+ - the FSGSBASE instruction family
+
+Accessing FS/GS base with arch_prctl()
+--------------------------------------
+
+ The arch_prctl(2) based mechanism is available on all 64-bit CPUs and all
+ kernel versions.
+
+ Reading the base:
+
+   arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_FS, &fsbase);
+   arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_GS, &gsbase);
+
+ Writing the base:
+
+   arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, fsbase);
+   arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_GS, gsbase);
+
+ The ARCH_SET_GS prctl may be disabled depending on kernel configuration
+ and security settings.
+
+Accessing FS/GS base with the FSGSBASE instructions
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+ With the Ivy Bridge CPU generation Intel introduced a new set of
+ instructions to access the FS and GS base registers directly from user
+ space. These instructions are also supported on AMD Family 17H CPUs. The
+ following instructions are available:
+
+  =============== ===========================
+  RDFSBASE %reg   Read the FS base register
+  RDGSBASE %reg   Read the GS base register
+  WRFSBASE %reg   Write the FS base register
+  WRGSBASE %reg   Write the GS base register
+  =============== ===========================
+
+ The instructions avoid the overhead of the arch_prctl() syscall and allow
+ more flexible usage of the FS/GS addressing modes in user space
+ applications. This does not prevent conflicts between threading libraries
+ and runtimes which utilize FS and applications which want to use it for
+ their own purpose.
+
+FSGSBASE instructions enablement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ The instructions are enumerated in CPUID leaf 7, bit 0 of EBX. If
+ available /proc/cpuinfo shows 'fsgsbase' in the flag entry of the CPUs.
+
+ The availability of the instructions does not enable them
+ automatically. The kernel has to enable them explicitly in CR4. The
+ reason for this is that older kernels make assumptions about the values in
+ the GS register and enforce them when GS base is set via
+ arch_prctl(). Allowing user space to write arbitrary values to GS base
+ would violate these assumptions and cause malfunction.
+
+ On kernels which do not enable FSGSBASE the execution of the FSGSBASE
+ instructions will fault with a #UD exception.
+
+ The kernel provides reliable information about the enabled state in the
+ ELF AUX vector. If the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit is set in the AUX vector, the
+ kernel has FSGSBASE instructions enabled and applications can use them.
+ The following code example shows how this detection works::
+
+   #include <sys/auxv.h>
+   #include <elf.h>
+
+   /* Will be eventually in asm/hwcap.h */
+   #ifndef HWCAP2_FSGSBASE
+   #define HWCAP2_FSGSBASE        (1 << 1)
+   #endif
+
+   ....
+
+   unsigned val = getauxval(AT_HWCAP2);
+
+   if (val & HWCAP2_FSGSBASE)
+        printf("FSGSBASE enabled\n");
+
+FSGSBASE instructions compiler support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+GCC version 4.6.4 and newer provide instrinsics for the FSGSBASE
+instructions. Clang 5 supports them as well.
+
+  =================== ===========================
+  _readfsbase_u64()   Read the FS base register
+  _readfsbase_u64()   Read the GS base register
+  _writefsbase_u64()  Write the FS base register
+  _writegsbase_u64()  Write the GS base register
+  =================== ===========================
+
+To utilize these instrinsics <immintrin.h> must be included in the source
+code and the compiler option -mfsgsbase has to be added.
+
+Compiler support for FS/GS based addressing
+-------------------------------------------
+
+GCC version 6 and newer provide support for FS/GS based addressing via
+Named Address Spaces. GCC implements the following address space
+identifiers for x86:
+
+  ========= ====================================
+  __seg_fs  Variable is addressed relative to FS
+  __seg_gs  Variable is addressed relative to GS
+  ========= ====================================
+
+The preprocessor symbols __SEG_FS and __SEG_GS are defined when these
+address spaces are supported. Code which implements fallback modes should
+check whether these symbols are defined. Usage example::
+
+  #ifdef __SEG_GS
+
+  long data0 = 0;
+  long data1 = 1;
+
+  long __seg_gs *ptr;
+
+  /* Check whether FSGSBASE is enabled by the kernel (HWCAP2_FSGSBASE) */
+  ....
+
+  /* Set GS base to point to data0 */
+  _writegsbase_u64(&data0);
+
+  /* Access offset 0 of GS */
+  ptr = 0;
+  printf("data0 = %ld\n", *ptr);
+
+  /* Set GS base to point to data1 */
+  _writegsbase_u64(&data1);
+  /* ptr still addresses offset 0! */
+  printf("data1 = %ld\n", *ptr);
+
+
+Clang does not provide the GCC address space identifiers, but it provides
+address spaces via an attribute based mechanism in Clang 2.6 and newer
+versions:
+
+ ==================================== =====================================
+  __attribute__((address_space(256))  Variable is addressed relative to GS
+  __attribute__((address_space(257))  Variable is addressed relative to FS
+ ==================================== =====================================
+
+FS/GS based addressing with inline assembly
+-------------------------------------------
+
+In case the compiler does not support address spaces, inline assembly can
+be used for FS/GS based addressing mode::
+
+	mov %fs:offset, %reg
+	mov %gs:offset, %reg
+
+	mov %reg, %fs:offset
+	mov %reg, %gs:offset

After spending a while reading this patch, I think it's probably okay,
but this ptrace stuff is utter garbage.  The changelog should explain
why common cases work with the current code, what you think the point
(if any) of the condition you're removing is, and why it's okay to
make this change.

Certainly the current changelog is wrong.  You say "The base will be
reloaded according to the selector".  The code you're changing calls
x86_fs/gsbase_write_task(), which is, effectively:

task->thread.fsbase = fsbase;

This doesn't reload anything.

Maybe what you're trying to say is "with this patch applied, as is or
with FSGSBASE disabled, if the tracee has FS != 0 and a tracer
modifies only fs_base, then the change won't stick."

So FWIW I've done some overnight fuzz testing of this patch set and
haven't seen any problems. Will try a couple of other kernel configs too.

That's a cute way to trigger that WARN_ON in the #DB handler.

Bah. I know why I want to ban all that tracing muck from low level entry code.

It's unrelated.

So this is a check that checks if you're running in user mode if
you have a debug trap with single step, but somehow it triggered
for a user segment.

Probably the regs got corrupted. 

Sasha, I suspect you're missing a mov %rsp,%rdi somewhere in the
debug entry path that sets up the regs argument for the C code.

FWIW, this series was heavily tested for the past few months to the
point that we're comfortable in enabling it for 3rd party users on
Azure:
