x86/speculation: Add Gather Data Sampling mitigation

commit 8974eb5882 upstream

Gather Data Sampling (GDS) is a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which was previously stored in
vector registers.

Intel processors that support AVX2 and AVX512 have gather instructions
that fetch non-contiguous data elements from memory. On vulnerable
hardware, when a gather instruction is transiently executed and
encounters a fault, stale data from architectural or internal vector
registers may get transiently stored to the destination vector
register allowing an attacker to infer the stale data using typical
side channel techniques like cache timing attacks.

This mitigation is different from many earlier ones for two reasons.
First, it is enabled by default and a bit must be set to *DISABLE* it.
This is the opposite of normal mitigation polarity. This means GDS can
be mitigated simply by updating microcode and leaving the new control
bit alone.

Second, GDS has a "lock" bit. This lock bit is there because the
mitigation affects the hardware security features KeyLocker and SGX.
It needs to be enabled and *STAY* enabled for these features to be
mitigated against GDS.

The mitigation is enabled in the microcode by default. Disable it by
setting gather_data_sampling=off or by disabling all mitigations with
mitigations=off. The mitigation status can be checked by reading:

GDS - Gather Data Sampling
==========================
Gather Data Sampling is a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged
speculative access to data which was previously stored in vector registers.
Problem
-------
When a gather instruction performs loads from memory, different data elements
are merged into the destination vector register. However, when a gather
instruction that is transiently executed encounters a fault, stale data from
architectural or internal vector registers may get transiently forwarded to the
destination vector register instead. This will allow a malicious attacker to
infer stale data using typical side channel techniques like cache timing
attacks. GDS is a purely sampling-based attack.
The attacker uses gather instructions to infer the stale vector register data.
The victim does not need to do anything special other than use the vector
registers. The victim does not need to use gather instructions to be
vulnerable.
Because the buffers are shared between Hyper-Threads cross Hyper-Thread attacks
are possible.
Attack scenarios
----------------
Without mitigation, GDS can infer stale data across virtually all
permission boundaries:
Non-enclaves can infer SGX enclave data
Userspace can infer kernel data
Guests can infer data from hosts
Guest can infer guest from other guests
Users can infer data from other users
Because of this, it is important to ensure that the mitigation stays enabled in
lower-privilege contexts like guests and when running outside SGX enclaves.
The hardware enforces the mitigation for SGX. Likewise, VMMs should ensure
that guests are not allowed to disable the GDS mitigation. If a host erred and
allowed this, a guest could theoretically disable GDS mitigation, mount an
attack, and re-enable it.
Mitigation mechanism
--------------------
This issue is mitigated in microcode. The microcode defines the following new
bits:
================================ === ============================
IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES[GDS_CTRL] R/O Enumerates GDS vulnerability
and mitigation support.
IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES[GDS_NO] R/O Processor is not vulnerable.
IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL[GDS_MITG_DIS] R/W Disables the mitigation
0 by default.
IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL[GDS_MITG_LOCK] R/W Locks GDS_MITG_DIS=0. Writes
to GDS_MITG_DIS are ignored
Can't be cleared once set.
================================ === ============================
GDS can also be mitigated on systems that don't have updated microcode by
disabling AVX. This can be done by setting "clearcpuid=avx" on the kernel
command-line.
Mitigation control on the kernel command line
---------------------------------------------
The mitigation can be disabled by setting "gather_data_sampling=off" or
"mitigations=off" on the kernel command line. Not specifying either will
default to the mitigation being enabled.
GDS System Information
------------------------
The kernel provides vulnerability status information through sysfs. For
GDS this can be accessed by the following sysfs file:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/gather_data_sampling
The possible values contained in this file are:
============================== =============================================
Not affected Processor not vulnerable.
Vulnerable Processor vulnerable and mitigation disabled.
Vulnerable: No microcode Processor vulnerable and microcode is missing
mitigation.
Mitigation: Microcode Processor is vulnerable and mitigation is in
effect.
Mitigation: Microcode (locked) Processor is vulnerable and mitigation is in
effect and cannot be disabled.
Unknown: Dependent on
hypervisor status Running on a virtual guest processor that is
affected but with no way to know if host
processor is mitigated or vulnerable.
============================== =============================================
GDS Default mitigation
----------------------
The updated microcode will enable the mitigation by default. The kernel's
default action is to leave the mitigation enabled.
