Subject: [PATCH v5 00/12] Retpoline: Avoid speculative indirect calls in kernel


This is a mitigation for the 'variant 2' attack described in
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html

Using GCC patches available from the gcc-7_2_0-retpoline branch of
http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/gcc-retpoline.git and by manually
patching assembler code, all vulnerable indirect branches (that occur
after userspace first runs) are eliminated from the kernel.

They are replaced with a 'retpoline' call sequence which deliberately
prevents speculation.

v1: Initial post.
v2: Add CONFIG_RETPOLINE to build kernel without it.
    Change warning messages.
    Hide modpost warning message
v3: Update to the latest CET-capable retpoline version
    Reinstate ALTERNATIVE support
v4: Finish reconciling Andi's and my patch sets, bug fixes.
    Exclude objtool support for now
    Add 'noretpoline' boot option
    Add AMD retpoline alternative
v5: Silence MODVERSIONS warnings
    Use pause;jmp loop instead of lfence;jmp
    Switch to X86_FEATURE_RETPOLINE positive feature logic
    Emit thunks inline from assembler macros
    Merge AMD support into initial patch

Andi Kleen (4):
  x86/retpoline/irq32: Convert assembler indirect jumps
  x86/retpoline: Add boot time option to disable retpoline
  x86/retpoline: Exclude objtool with retpoline
  retpoline/modpost: Quieten MODVERSION retpoline build

David Woodhouse (8):
  x86/spectre: Add X86_BUG_SPECTRE_V[12]
  x86/retpoline: Add initial retpoline support
  x86/retpoline/crypto: Convert crypto assembler indirect jumps
  x86/retpoline/entry: Convert entry assembler indirect jumps
  x86/retpoline/ftrace: Convert ftrace assembler indirect jumps
  x86/retpoline/hyperv: Convert assembler indirect jumps
  x86/retpoline/xen: Convert Xen hypercall indirect jumps
  x86/retpoline/checksum32: Convert assembler indirect jumps
