Subject: [PATCH v7 0/3] Fix dosemu vm86() fault
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2024 15:25:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240925-fix-dosemu-vm86-v7-0-1de0daca2d42@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Changes in v7:
- Using %ss for verw fails kselftest ldt_gdt.c in 32-bit mode, use safer %cs instead (Dave).

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240905-fix-dosemu-vm86-v6-0-7aff8e53cbbf@linux.intel.com
- Use %ss in 64-bit mode as well for all VERW calls. This avoids any having
  a separate macro for 32-bit (Dave).
- Split 32-bit mode fixes into separate patches.

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240711-fix-dosemu-vm86-v5-1-e87dcd7368aa@linux.intel.com
- Simplify the use of ALTERNATIVE construct (Uros/Jiri/Peter).

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240710-fix-dosemu-vm86-v4-1-aa6464e1de6f@linux.intel.com
- Further simplify the patch by using %ss for all VERW calls in 32-bit mode (Brian).
- In NMI exit path move VERW after RESTORE_ALL_NMI that touches GPRs (Dave).

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240701-fix-dosemu-vm86-v3-1-b1969532c75a@linux.intel.com
- Simplify CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS_SAFE by using %ss instead of %ds (Brian).
- Do verw before popf in SYSEXIT path (Jari).

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240627-fix-dosemu-vm86-v2-1-d5579f698e77@linux.intel.com
- Safe guard against any other system calls like vm86() that might change %ds (Dave).

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240426-fix-dosemu-vm86-v1-1-88c826a3f378@linux.intel.com

Hi,

This series fixes a #GP in 32-bit kernels when executing vm86() system call
in dosemu software. In 32-bit mode, their are cases when user can set an
arbitrary %ds that can cause a #GP when executing VERW instruction. The
fix is to use %ss for referencing the VERW operand.

Patch 1-2: Fixes the VERW callsites in 32-bit entry path.
Patch   3: Uses %ss for VERW in 32-bit and 64-bit mode.

The fix is tested with below kselftest on 32-bit kernel:

	./tools/testing/selftests/x86/entry_from_vm86.c

64-bit kernel was boot tested. On a Rocket Lake, measuring the CPU cycles
for VERW with and without the %ss shows no significant difference. This
indicates that the scrubbing behavior of VERW is intact.

Thanks,
Pawan
