[v22,00/28] Control-flow Enforcement: Shadow Stack

Message

Yu-cheng Yu March 10, 2021, 10 p.m. UTC

Control-flow Enforcement (CET) is a new Intel processor feature that blocks
return/jump-oriented programming attacks.  Details are in "Intel 64 and
IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual" [1].

CET can protect applications and the kernel.  This series enables only
application-level protection, and has three parts:

  - Shadow stack [2],
  - Indirect branch tracking [3], and
  - Selftests [4].

I have run tests on these patches for quite some time, and they have been
very stable.  Linux distributions with CET are available now, and Intel
processors with CET are already on the market.  It would be nice if CET
support can be accepted into the kernel.  I will be working to address any
issues should they come up.

Changes in v22:
- Patch #5: Add leading zeros to CET MSR indices.
- Patch #6: Move static ratelimit definition out of function, set si_addr
  to zero for control-protection fault signals.
- Add patch #8: Move pmd_write(), pud_write up in the file and to use
  them in other helper functions.
- Patch #9: Replace testing _PAGE_RW with helpers p*_write(), change
  p*_make_cow() to p*_mkcow().
- Patch #11: Replace p*_set_flags()/p*_clear_flags() with helpers.
- Add patch #20: Exclude shadow stack from preserve_write for NUMA.
- Rebase to Linus tree v5.12-rc2.

[4] I am holding off the selftests changes and working to get Reviewed-by's.
    The earlier version of the selftests patches:

[5] The kernel ptrace patch is tested with an Intel-internal updated GDB.
    I am holding off the kernel ptrace patch to re-test it with my earlier
    patch for fixing regset holes.
