[PATCH v3] x86/uaccess: Use pointer masking to limit uaccess speculation

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Thu Sep 10 2020 - 13:37:45 EST


The x86 uaccess code uses barrier_nospec() in various places to prevent
speculative dereferencing of user-controlled pointers (which might be
combined with further gadgets or CPU bugs to leak data).

There are some issues with the current implementation:

- The barrier_nospec() in copy_from_user() was inadvertently removed
with: 4b842e4e25b1 ("x86: get rid of small constant size cases in
raw_copy_{to,from}_user()")

- copy_to_user() and friends should also have a speculation barrier,
because a speculative write to a user-controlled address can still
populate the cache line with the original data.

- The LFENCE in barrier_nospec() is overkill, when more lightweight user
pointer masking can be used instead.

Remove all existing barrier_nospec() usage, and instead do user pointer
masking, throughout the x86 uaccess code. This is similar to what arm64
is already doing with uaccess_mask_ptr().

barrier_nospec() is now unused, and can be removed.

Fixes: 4b842e4e25b1 ("x86: get rid of small constant size cases in raw_copy_{to,from}_user()")

v3:

- Rebased on vfs#for-next, using TASK_SIZE_MAX now that set_fs() is
gone. I considered just clearing the most significant bit, but that
only works for 64-bit, so in the interest of common code I went with
the more straightforward enforcement of the TASK_SIZE_MAX limit.

- Rename the macro to force_user_ptr(), which is more descriptive, and
also more distinguishable from a planned future macro for sanitizing
__user pointers on syscall entry.
