A DSB NSH to guarantee completion of the TLBI.\nThe important part being that the TLBI+DSB must be placed \"after all\nexplicit memory accesses\".\nUnfortunately, as-implemented, the TLBI+DSB is immediately followed by\nan LDR, as we have:\n| alternative_if ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_UNPRIV_LOAD\n| tlbivale1, xzr\n| dsbnsh\n| alternative_else_nop_endif\n| alternative_if_not ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0\n| ldrlr, [sp, #S_LR]\n| addsp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE// restore sp\n| eret\n| alternative_else_nop_endif\n|\n| [ ... KPTI exception return path ... ]\nThis patch fixes this by reworking the logic to place the TLBI+DSB\nimmediately before the ERET, after all explicit memory accesses.\nThe ERET is currently in a separate alternative block, and alternatives\ncannot be nested. To account for this, the alternative block for\nARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 is replaced with a single alternative branch\nto skip the KPTI logic, with the new shape of the logic being:\n| alternative_insn \"b .L_skip_tramp_exit_\\@\", nop, ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0\n| [ ... KPTI exception return path ... ]\n| .L_skip_tramp_exit_\\@:\n|\n| ldrlr, [sp, #S_LR]\n| addsp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE// restore sp\n|\n| alternative_if ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_UNPRIV_LOAD\n| tlbivale1, xzr\n| dsbnsh\n| alternative_else_nop_endif\n| eret\nThe new structure means that the workaround is only applied when KPTI is\nnot in use; this is fine as noted in the documented implications of the\nerratum:\n| Pagetable isolation between EL0 and higher level ELs prevents the\n| issue from occurring.\n... and as per the workaround description quoted above, the workaround\nis only necessary \"If pagetable isolation is disabled\".", "A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel.
