[PATCH 00/11] arm64 kpti hardening and variant 2 workarounds

[will.deacon@arm.com (Will Deacon)]

Hi all,

This set of patches builds on top of the arm64 kpti patches[1] queued for
4.16 and further hardens the arm64 Linux kernel against the side-channel
attacks recently published by Google Project Zero.

In particular, the series does the following:

  * Enable kpti by default on arm64, based on the value of ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.CSV3

  * Prevent speculative resteering of the indirect branch in the exception
    trampoline page, which resides at a fixed virtual address to avoid a
    KASLR leak

  * Add hooks to changes of context where the branch predictor could
    theoretically resteer the speculative instruction stream having been trained
    by userspace or a guest OS. These hooks are signal delivery (to prevent
    training the branch predictor on kernel addresses from userspace),
    switch_mm (return to user if SW PAN is enabled) and exit from a guest VM.

  * Implement a dummy PSCI "VERSION" call as the hook for affected Cortex-A
    CPUs. This will invalidate the predictor state with the latest Arm Trusted
    Firmware patches which will appear at [2] and SoC vendors with affected
    CPUs are strongly encouraged to update. We plan to switch to a more
    efficient, special-purpose call when it is available and the PSCI spec
    has been updated accordingly.

I'd like to get this in for 4.16, but that doesn't mean we can't improve
it further once it's merged.

For more information about the impact of this issue and the software migitations
for Arm processors, please see http://www.arm.com/security-update.

Thanks,

Will
