[PATCH v5 5/7] powerpc/64s: Zeroise gprs on interrupt routine entry on Book3S

Thu Dec 1 18:10:17 AEDT 2022


Zeroise user state in gprs (assign to zero) to reduce the influence of user
registers on speculation within kernel syscall handlers. Clears occur
at the very beginning of the sc and scv 0 interrupt handlers, with
restores occurring following the execution of the syscall handler.

Zeroise GPRS r0, r2-r11, r14-r31, on entry into the kernel for all
other interrupt sources. The remaining gprs are overwritten by
entry macros to interrupt handlers, irrespective of whether or not a
given handler consumes these register values. If an interrupt does not
select the IMSR_R12 IOption, zeroise r12.

Prior to this commit, r14-r31 are restored on a per-interrupt basis at
exit, but now they are always restored on 64bit Book3S. Remove explicit
REST_NVGPRS invocations on 64-bit Book3S. 32-bit systems do not clear
user registers on interrupt, and continue to depend on the return value
of interrupt_exit_user_prepare to determine whether or not to restore
non-volatiles.

The mmap_bench benchmark in selftests should rapidly invoke pagefaults.
See ~0.8% performance regression with this mitigation, but this
indicates the worst-case performance due to heavier-weight interrupt
handlers. This mitigation is able to be enabled/disabled through
CONFIG_INTERRUPT_SANITIZE_REGISTERS.

v2: REST_NVGPRS should be conditional on mitigation in scv handler. Fix
improper multi-line preprocessor macro in interrupt_64.S
v4: Split off IMSR_R12 definition into its own patch. Move macro
definitions for register sanitisation into asm/ppc_asm.h
v5: Replace unconditional ZEROIZE_... with conditional SANITIZE_...
