Subject: [PATCH v9 00/27] Enable CET Virtualization
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) is a kind of CPU feature used
to prevent Return/CALL/Jump-Oriented Programming (ROP/COP/JOP) attacks.
It provides two sub-features(SHSTK,IBT) to defend against ROP/COP/JOP
style control-flow subversion attacks.
Shadow Stack (SHSTK):
A shadow stack is a second stack used exclusively for control transfer
operations. The shadow stack is separate from the data/normal stack and
can be enabled individually in user and kernel mode. When shadow stack
is enabled, CALL pushes the return address on both the data and shadow
stack. RET pops the return address from both stacks and compares them.
If the return addresses from the two stacks do not match, the processor
generates a #CP.
Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT):
IBT introduces new instruction(ENDBRANCH)to mark valid target addresses of
indirect branches (CALL, JMP etc...). If an indirect branch is executed
and the next instruction is _not_ an ENDBRANCH, the processor generates a
#CP. These instruction behaves as a NOP on platforms that doesn't support
CET.
Dependency:
=====================
CET native series for user mode shadow stack has already been merged in v6.6
mainline kernel.
The first 7 kernel patches are prerequisites for this KVM patch series since
guest CET user mode and supervisor mode states depends on kernel FPU framework
to properly save/restore the states whenever FPU context switch is required,
e.g., after VM-Exit and before vCPU thread exits to userspace.
In this series, guest supervisor SHSTK mitigation solution isn't introduced
for Intel platform therefore guest SSS_CET bit of CPUID(0x7,1):EDX[bit18] is
cleared. Check SDM (Vol 1, Section 17.2.3) for details.
CET states management:
======================
KVM cooperates with host kernel FPU framework to manage guest CET registers.
With CET supervisor mode state support in this series, KVM can save/restore
full guest CET xsave-managed states.
CET user mode and supervisor mode xstates, i.e., MSR_IA32_{U_CET,PL3_SSP}
and MSR_IA32_PL{0,1,2}, depend on host FPU framework to swap guest and host
xstates. On VM-Exit, guest CET xstates are saved to guest fpu area and host
CET xstates are loaded from task/thread context before vCPU returns to
userspace, vice-versa on VM-Entry. See details in kvm_{load,put}_guest_fpu().
So guest CET xstates management depends on CET xstate bits(U_CET/S_CET bit)
set in host XSS MSR.
CET supervisor mode states are grouped into two categories : XSAVE-managed
and non-XSAVE-managed, the former includes MSR_IA32_PL{0,1,2}_SSP and are
controlled by CET supervisor mode bit(S_CET bit) in XSS, the later consists
of MSR_IA32_S_CET and MSR_IA32_INTR_SSP_TBL.
VMX introduces new VMCS fields, {GUEST|HOST}_{S_CET,SSP,INTR_SSP_TABL}, to
facilitate guest/host non-XSAVES-managed states. When VMX CET entry/exit load
bits are set, guest/host MSR_IA32_{S_CET,INTR_SSP_TBL,SSP} are loaded from
equivalent fields at VM-Exit/Entry. With these new fields, such supervisor
states require no addtional KVM save/reload actions.
Tests:
======================
This series passed basic CET user shadow stack test and kernel IBT test in L1
and L2 guest.
The patch series _has_ impact to existing vmx test cases in KVM-unit-tests,the
failures have been fixed here[1].
One new selftest app[2] is introduced for testing CET MSRs accessibilities.
Note, this series hasn't been tested on AMD platform yet.
To run user SHSTK test and kernel IBT test in guest, an CET capable platform
is required, e.g., Sapphire Rapids server, and follow below steps to build
the binaries:
1. Host kernel: Apply this series to mainline kernel (>= v6.6) and build.
2. Guest kernel: Pull kernel (>= v6.6), opt-in CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT
and CONFIG_X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK options. Build with CET enabled gcc versions
(>= 8.5.0).
3. Apply CET QEMU patches[3] before build mainline QEMU.
Check kernel selftest test_shadow_stack_64 output:
[INFO] new_ssp = 7f8c82100ff8, *new_ssp = 7f8c82101001
[INFO] changing ssp from 7f8c82900ff0 to 7f8c82100ff8
[INFO] ssp is now 7f8c82101000

Check kernel IBT with dmesg | grep CET:
CET detected: Indirect Branch Tracking enabled
Changes in v9:
=====================
1. Add Reviewed-by tags from Maxim and Rick. [Maxim, Rick]
2. Stop branch instruction emulation when CET is active in guest. [Rick, Sean, Jim]
3. Fixed a few issues per review feedback. [Rick, Maxim, Yuan, Chao]
4. The latest upstream kernels seem broken in guest on my platform, still rebased on
