x86/speculation: Add LFENCE to RSB fill sequence
commit ba6e31af2be96c4d0536f2152ed6f7b6c11bca47 upstream.
RSB fill sequence does not have any protection for miss-prediction of
conditional branch at the end of the sequence. CPU can speculatively
execute code immediately after the sequence, while RSB filling hasn't
completed yet.
#define __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER(reg, nr, sp) \
mov $(nr/2), reg; \
771: \
call 772f; \
773: /* speculation trap */ \
pause; \
lfence; \
jmp 773b; \
772: \
call 774f; \
775: /* speculation trap */ \
pause; \
lfence; \
jmp 775b; \
774: \
dec reg; \
jnz 771b; <----- CPU can miss-predict here. \
add $(BITS_PER_LONG/8) * nr, sp;
Before RSB is filled, RETs that come in program order after this macro
can be executed speculatively, making them vulnerable to RSB-based
attacks.
Mitigate it by adding an LFENCE after the conditional branch to prevent
speculation while RSB is being filled.
