Subject: [PATCH 0/4] V8 more sampling fun

This version implement cleanups for readability and alignment with the finalizing Intel white paper on the SRBDS topic. I thank all who've been giving me valuable feedback through this process.

I've included a branch diff between the previous patch set and this one.

---

Special Register Buffer Data Sampling is a sampling type of vulnerability that leaks data across cores sharing the HW-RNG for vulnerable processors.

This leak is fixed by a microcode update and is enabled by default.

This new microcode serializes processor access during execution of RDRAND or RDSEED. It ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse.

The mitigation impacts the throughput of the RDRAND and RDSEED instructions and latency of RT processing running on the socket while executing RDRAND or RDSEED. The micro benchmarks calling RDRAND many times show a slowdown.

This patch set enables kernel command line control of this mitigation and exports vulnerability and mitigation status.
This patch set includes 3 patches:
* The first patch adds steppings to x86_cpu_id structure and related macros
* The second patch enables the command line control of the mitigation as well as the sysfs export of vulnerability status.
* The third patch has the Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln documentation for this issue and the control over the mitigation.

PATCH 1/4 V8 more sampling fun 1

From: mark gross <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86/cpu: Add stepping field to x86_cpu_id structure

Intel uses the same family/model for several CPUs. Sometimes the stepping must be checked to tell them apart.

On X86 there can be at most 16 steppings, add steppings bitmask to x86_cpu_id and X86_MATCH_VENDOR_FAMILY_MODEL_STEPPING_FEATURE macro and support for matching against family/model/stepping.

In reply to mark gross

From: mark gross <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH 3/4] x86/speculation: Special Register Buffer Data Sampling
(SRBDS) mitigation control.

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the RNG across cores and threads. New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using either mitigations=off or srbds=off.
* export vulnerability status via sysfs
* rename file scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 17:54:04 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling
(SRBDS) mitigation controls

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the RNG across cores and threads. New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using either mitigations=off or srbds=off.

* Export vulnerability status via sysfs

* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

[ bp: Massage,
- s/VULNBL_INTEL_STEPPING/VULNBL_INTEL_STEPPINGS/g,
- do not read arch cap MSR a second time in tsx_fused_off() - just pass it in,
- flip check in cpu_set_bug_bits() to save an indentation level,
- reflow comments.

FWIW I did think pretty hard about doing it way you proposed without the goto a few emails back but felt the readability was really poor with the complexity of the conditional that results.

But, I'm not going to fight you on it.

When nitpicking the whitespace before, I think I completely missed the fact that this goto is extremely ugly. And there are a lot of unnecessary nested ifs. And the comment is redundant.

I've cleaned up that part a bit more, please have a look. Here's the whole thing:

Subject: [PATCH] x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling
(SRBDS) mitigation controls

SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the RNG across cores and threads. New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

The mitigation is activated by default on affected processors and it increases latency for RDRAND and RDSEED instructions. Among other effects this will reduce throughput from /dev/urandom.

* Enable administrator to configure the mitigation off when desired using either mitigations=off or srbds=off.

* Export vulnerability status via sysfs

* Rename file-scoped macros to apply for non-whitelist table initializations.

[ bp: Massage,
- s/VULNBL_INTEL_STEPPING/VULNBL_INTEL_STEPPINGS/g,
- do not read arch cap MSR a second time in tsx_fused_off() - just pass it in,
- flip check in cpu_set_bug_bits() to save an indentation level,
- reflow comments.

While it is present on all affected CPU models, the microcode mitigation is not needed on models that enumerate ARCH_CAPABILITIES[MDS_NO] in the cases where TSX is not supported or has been disabled with TSX_CTRL.

If the CPU has does not expose TSX_CTRL and has FEATURE_RTM disabled (BIOS or fused off) then we declare it as non vulnerable.

If the CPU exposes TSX_CTRL then we declare it vulnerable and decide in the mitigation selection whether it is vulnerable or not depending on the RTM state. If RTM is off, we say: "Mitigation: TSX disabled".

IMO the whole tsx_fused_off() logic is pointless. It does not matter whether TSX got fused off or disabled in BIOS or disabled via TSX_CTRL. The CPU model is affected but the problem is mitigated because TSX is disabled.

Aside of that the tsx_fused_off() logic depends on the non-availability of TSX_CTRL. TSX_CTRL is available even on CPUs which enumerate TAA_NO, but I don't see any check for TAA_NO or BUG_TAA anywhere.

Is SBRDS on MDS_NO parts independent of TAA, i.e. does it solely depend on the fact that RTM is on?

The idea is that if TSX is *permanently* off, there's no way to trigger the bug, regardless of how the user has things configured in BIOS or the kernel. So from the user's standpoint, the CPU is not affected, and never was, regardless of kernel/BIOS settings and microcode.

Is there not a way to distinguish "disabled in BIOS" from "permanently fused off"? If not, then yes we should just consider all of them "Mitigation: TSX disabled".

Correct. The affected processor list weeds out those with TAA_NO.

I don't have access to a MDS_NO part with a BIOS switch for TSX, so I can't investigate it.

When nitpicking the whitespace before, I think I completely missed the fact that this goto is extremely ugly. And there are a lot of unnecessary nested ifs. And the comment is redundant.

How about something like this:

Quoted 8 lines
	/*
	 * Parts in the SRBDS blacklist that enumerate MDS_NO are only
	 * vulnerable if TSX isn't fused off.
	 */
	if (cpu_matches(SRBDS, cpu_vuln_blacklist) &&

	    (!(ia32_cap & ARCH_CAP_MDS_NO) || !tsx_fused_off(c)))
		setup_force_cpu_bug(X86_BUG_SRBDS);

I had this in an unreleased version but, I thought the redability of the conditional too much for me so I created the tsx_fused_off funtion to.

I also considerd the contropositive of what I did have

		if (!(ia32_cap & ARCH_CAP_MDS_NO) || !tsx_fused_off(c))
			goto srbds_not_affected;

also hard to read / parse

finally I thought of:

		if ((ia32_cap & ARCH_CAP_MDS_NO) && tsx_fused_off(c))
			continue;
		else
	 		setup_force_cpu_bug(X86_BUG_SRBDS);

and thought that looked pretty dumb too.

But, Like I said I'm not going to argue.

from your emails it looks like you are putting together the final version. I have recently (this morning) found out I need to add another family model to the affected processor list.

no need. I got confused.

FWIW the white paper listed Ivy bridge family 6, model 3A any stepping as affected then they removed it Ivy bridge is no longer getting uCode updates.

Recently (this morning) they are recommending to leave Ivy Bridge in the kernel patch as it is affected.

I thought I yanked it from the cpu_vuln_blacklist array but, I guess I thought I did but didn't.

so its good as is :)

cvs.ou.linutronix.de:linux/speck/linux

The commits are considered stable from now on. Any further tweaks need to go on top.

The stable branches linux-5.6.y, linux-5.4.y, linux-4.19.y and linux-4.14.y have been updated with backports. Kernels prior to 4.14 are left as an exercise to the members of the kernel necrophilia cult as usual.

A tarball with git bundles is attached.

The subject line of this mail is a reference to the following part of the documentation:

Executing RDRAND, RDSEED or EGETKEY will delay memory accesses from other logical processors that miss their core caches, with an impact similar to legacy locked cache-line-split accesses.

IOW, yet another DoS tool. Oh well...

Thanks,

We have ran all these through the test cases I used in my development. They all pass.

FWIW I did backports from 4.14.y to 4.9 (easy) and 4.4 (needed to cherry pic an extra patch to make it work) These also pass testing.

Should I post them to this list or sit on them until disclosure?

Thank you for all your help on this effort! I do appreciate it.

So while we're on the subject and in case I haven't missed that
communication: is that microcode somewhere so that I can test my backports with it?

Thx.
