[PATCH 3.2 077/104] module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in module

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Mar 11 2018 - 23:47:31 EST


3.2.101-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8 upstream.

There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes
vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the
right compiler or the right option.

To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info
string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with
retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source
or prebuilt object files are not checked.

If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at
load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.
