[PATCH v10 01/15] x86/cpu: Enumerate the LASS feature bits

[Sohil Mehta <sohil.mehta@intel.com>]

Linear Address Space Separation (LASS) is a security feature that
intends to prevent malicious virtual address space accesses across
user/kernel mode.

Such mode based access protection already exists today with paging and
features such as SMEP and SMAP. However, to enforce these protections,
the processor must traverse the paging structures in memory. An attacker
can use timing information resulting from this traversal to determine
details about the paging structures, and to determine the layout of the
kernel memory.

LASS provides the same mode-based protections as paging but without
traversing the paging structures. Because the protections are enforced
pre-paging, an attacker will not be able to derive paging-based timing
information from the various caching structures such as the TLBs,
mid-level caches, page walker, data caches, etc.

LASS enforcement relies on the kernel implementation to divide the
64-bit virtual address space into two halves:
  Addr[63]=0 -> User address space
  Addr[63]=1 -> Kernel address space

Any data access or code execution across address spaces typically
results in a #GP fault. The LASS enforcement for kernel data accesses is
dependent on CR4.SMAP being set. The enforcement can be disabled by
toggling the RFLAGS.AC bit similar to SMAP.

Define the CPU feature bits to enumerate LASS and add a dependency on
SMAP.

LASS mitigates a class of side-channel speculative attacks, such as
Spectre LAM [1]. Add the "lass" flag to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate that
the feature is supported by hardware and enabled by the kernel.  This
allows userspace to determine if the system is secure against such
attacks.
