Make sure %rSP is an output operand to the respective asm() statements.
The test_cc() hunk and ALT_OUTPUT_SP() courtesy of peterz. Also from him
add some helpful debugging info to the documentation.
Now on to the explanations:
tl;dr: The alternatives macros are pretty fragile.
If I do ALT_OUTPUT_SP(output) in order to be able to package in a %rsp
reference for objtool so that a stack frame gets properly generated, the
inline asm input operand with positional argument 0 in clear_page():
"0" (page)
gets "renumbered" due to the added
: "+r" (current_stack_pointer), "=D" (page)
and then gcc says:
./arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h:53:9: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an ‘asm’
The fix is to use an explicit "D" constraint which points to a singleton
register class (gcc terminology) which ends up doing what is expected
here: the page pointer - input and output - should be in the same %rdi
register.
Other register classes have more than one register in them - example:
"r" and "=r" or "A":
‘A’
The ‘a’ and ‘d’ registers. This class is used for
instructions that return double word results in the ‘ax:dx’
register pair. Single word values will be allocated either in
‘ax’ or ‘dx’.
so using "D" and "=D" just works in this particular case.
And yes, one would say, sure, why don't you do "+D" but then:
: "+r" (current_stack_pointer), "+D" (page)
: [old] "i" (clear_page_orig), [new1] "i" (clear_page_rep), [new2] "i" (clear_page_erms),
: "cc", "memory", "rax", "rcx")
now find the Waldo^Wcomma which throws a wrench into all this.
Because that silly macro has an "input..." consume-all last macro arg
and in it, one is supposed to supply input *and* clobbers, leading to
silly syntax snafus.
Yap, they need to be cleaned up, one fine day...

Instead of making increasingly complicated ALTERNATIVE_n()
implementations, use a nested alternative expression.
The only difference between:
ALTERNATIVE_2(oldinst, newinst1, flag1, newinst2, flag2)
and
ALTERNATIVE(ALTERNATIVE(oldinst, newinst1, flag1),
newinst2, flag2)
is that the outer alternative can add additional padding when the inner
alternative is the shorter one, which then results in
alt_instr::instrlen being inconsistent.
However, this is easily remedied since the alt_instr entries will be
consecutive and it is trivial to compute the max(alt_instr::instrlen) at
runtime while patching.
Specifically, after this the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro, after CPP expansion
(and manual layout), looks like this:
.macro ALTERNATIVE_2 oldinstr, newinstr1, ft_flags1, newinstr2, ft_flags2
740:
740: \oldinstr ;
741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ;
742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ;
altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags1,742b-740b,744f-743f ;
.popsection ;
.pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ;
743: \newinstr1 ;
744: .popsection ; ;
741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ;
742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ;
altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags2,742b-740b,744f-743f ;
.popsection ;
.pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ;
743: \newinstr2 ;
744: .popsection ;
.endm
The only label that is ambiguous is 740, however they all reference the
same spot, so that doesn't matter.
NOTE: obviously only @oldinstr may be an alternative; making @newinstr
an alternative would mean patching .altinstr_replacement which very
likely isn't what is intended, also the labels will be confused in that
case.
[ bp: Debug an issue where it would match the wrong two insns and
and consider them nested due to the same signed offsets in the
.alternative section and use instr_va() to compare the full virtual
addresses instead.
- Use new labels to denote that the new, nested
alternatives are being used when staring at preprocessed output.
- Use the %c constraint everywhere instead of %P and document the
difference for future reference. ]

the destination of the relocation matches the address of the code),
using *pprog as the destination ip. This is not true for the call depth
accounting, emitted by the BPF JIT, so the calculated address was wrong,
JIT-ed BPF progs on kernels with call depth tracking got broken and
usually caused a page fault.
Pass the destination IP when the BPF JIT emits call depth accounting.

In order to prepare replacing of paravirt patching with alternative
patching, add the capability to replace an indirect call with a direct
one.
This is done via a new flag ALT_FLAG_CALL as the target of the CALL
instruction needs to be evaluated using the value of the location
addressed by the indirect call.
For convenience, add a macro for a default CALL instruction. In case it
is being used without the new flag being set, it will result in a BUG()
when being executed. As in most cases, the feature used will be
X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS so add another macro ALT_CALL_ALWAYS usable for the
flags parameter of the ALTERNATIVE macros.
For a complete replacement, handle the special cases of calling a nop
function and an indirect call of NULL the same way as paravirt does.

.discard.retpoline_safe sections do not have the SHF_ALLOC flag. These
sections referencing text sections' STT_SECTION symbols with PC-relative
relocations like R_386_PC32 [0] is conceptually not suitable. Newer
LLD will report warnings for REL relocations even for relocatable links [1]:
ld.lld: warning: vmlinux.a(drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.o):(.discard.retpoline_safe+0x120): has non-ABS relocation R_386_PC32 against symbol ''
Switch to absolute relocations instead, which indicate link-time
addresses. In a relocatable link, these addresses are also output
section offsets, used by checks in tools/objtool/check.c. When linking
vmlinux, these .discard.* sections will be discarded, therefore it is
not a problem that R_X86_64_32 cannot represent a kernel address.
Alternatively, we could set the SHF_ALLOC flag for .discard.* sections,
but I think non-SHF_ALLOC for sections to be discarded makes more sense.
Note: if we decide to never support REL architectures (e.g. arm, i386),
we can utilize R_*_NONE relocations (.reloc ., BFD_RELOC_NONE, sym),
making .discard.* sections zero-sized. That said, the section content
waste is 4 bytes per entry, much smaller than sizeof(Elf{32,64}_Rel).

The usage of the BIT() macro in inline asm code was introduced in 6.3 by
the commit in the Fixes tag. However, this macro uses "1UL" for integer
constant suffixes in its shift operation, while gas before 2.28 does not
support the "L" suffix after a number, and gas before 2.27 does not
support the "U" suffix, resulting in build errors such as the following
with such versions:

./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:124: Error: junk at end of line,

However, the currently minimal binutils version the kernel supports is
2.25.
There's a single use of this macro here, revert to (1 << 0) that works
with such older binutils.

Add a struct alt_instr.flags field which will contain different flags
controlling alternatives patching behavior.
The initial idea was to be able to specify it as a separate macro
parameter but that would mean touching all possible invocations of the
alternatives macros and thus a lot of churn.
What is more, as PeterZ suggested, being able to say ALT_NOT(feature) is
very readable and explains exactly what is meant.
So make the feature field a u32 where the patching flags are the upper
u16 part of the dword quantity while the lower u16 word is the feature.
The highest feature number currently is 0x26a (i.e., word 19) so there
is plenty of space. If that becomes insufficient, the field can be
extended to u64 which will then make struct alt_instr of the nice size
of 16 bytes (14 bytes currently).
There should be no functional changes resulting from this.

Implement an alternative CFI scheme that merges both the fine-grained
nature of kCFI but also takes full advantage of the coarse grained
hardware CFI as provided by IBT.
To contrast:
kCFI is a pure software CFI scheme and relies on being able to read
text -- specifically the instruction *before* the target symbol, and
does the hash validation *before* doing the call (otherwise control
flow is compromised already).
FineIBT is a software and hardware hybrid scheme; by ensuring every
branch target starts with a hash validation it is possible to place
the hash validation after the branch. This has several advantages:
o the (hash) load is avoided; no memop; no RX requirement.
o IBT WAIT-FOR-ENDBR state is a speculation stop; by placing
the hash validation in the immediate instruction after
the branch target there is a minimal speculation window
and the whole is a viable defence against SpectreBHB.
o Kees feels obliged to mention it is slightly more vulnerable
when the attacker can write code.
Obviously this patch relies on kCFI, but additionally it also relies
on the padding from the call-depth-tracking patches. It uses this
padding to place the hash-validation while the call-sites are
re-written to modify the indirect target to be 16 bytes in front of
the original target, thus hitting this new preamble.
Notably, there is no hardware that needs call-depth-tracking (Skylake)
and supports IBT (Tigerlake and onwards).

As for the builtins create call thunks and patch the call sites to call the

Note, that module init functions are ignored for sake of simplicity because
loading modules is not something which is done in high frequent loops and
the attacker has not really a handle on when this happens in order to
launch a matching attack. The depth tracking will still work for calls into
the builtins and because the call is not accounted it will underflow faster

Mitigating the Intel SKL RSB underflow issue in software requires to
track the call depth. That is every CALL and every RET need to be
intercepted and additional code injected.
The existing retbleed mitigations already include means of redirecting
RET to __x86_return_thunk; this can be re-purposed and RET can be
redirected to another function doing RET accounting.
CALL accounting will use the function padding introduced in prior
patches. For each CALL instruction, the destination symbol's padding
is rewritten to do the accounting and the CALL instruction is adjusted
to call into the padding.
This ensures only affected CPUs pay the overhead of this accounting.
Unaffected CPUs will leave the padding unused and have their 'JMP
__x86_return_thunk' replaced with an actual 'RET' instruction.
Objtool has been modified to supply a .call_sites section that lists
all the 'CALL' instructions. Additionally the paravirt instruction
sites are iterated since they will have been patched from an indirect
call to direct calls (or direct instructions in which case it'll be
ignored).
Module handling and the actual thunk code for SKL will be added in
subsequent steps.

Add support for alternative patching for the case a feature is not
present on the current CPU. For users of ALTERNATIVE() and friends, an
inverted feature is specified by applying the ALT_NOT() macro to it,
e.g.:
ALTERNATIVE(old, new, ALT_NOT(feature));
Committer note:
The decision to encode the NOT-bit in the feature bit itself is because
a future change which would make objtool generate such alternative
calls, would keep the code in objtool itself fairly simple.
Also, this allows for the alternative macros to support the NOT feature
without having to change them.
Finally, the u16 cpuid member encoding the X86_FEATURE_ flags is not an
ABI so if more bits are needed, cpuid itself can be enlarged or a flags
field can be added to struct alt_instr after having considered the size
growth in either cases.

Most, if not all, uses of the alternative* family just provide one or
two instructions in .text, but the string literal can be quite large,
causing gcc to overestimate the size of the generated code. That in
turn affects its decisions about inlining of the function containing
the alternative() asm statement.
New enough versions of gcc allow one to overrule the estimated size by
using "asm inline" instead of just "asm". So replace asm by the helper
asm_inline, which for older gccs just expands to asm.
