mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.5-rc6 commit 553a5c03e90a6087e88f8ff878335ef0621536fb category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I7XLNT CVE: CVE-2022-40982
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
---------------------------
commit 553a5c03e90a6087e88f8ff878335ef0621536fb upstream
The Gather Data Sampling (GDS) vulnerability allows malicious software to infer stale data previously stored in vector registers. This may include sensitive data such as cryptographic keys. GDS is mitigated in microcode, and systems with up-to-date microcode are protected by default. However, any affected system that is running with older microcode will still be vulnerable to GDS attacks.
Since the gather instructions used by the attacker are part of the AVX2 and AVX512 extensions, disabling these extensions prevents gather instructions from being executed, thereby mitigating the system from GDS. Disabling AVX2 is sufficient, but we don't have the granularity to do this. The XCR0[2] disables AVX, with no option to just disable AVX2.
Add a kernel parameter gather_data_sampling=force that will enable the microcode mitigation if available, otherwise it will disable AVX on affected systems.
This option will be ignored if cmdline mitigations=off.
This is a *big* hammer. It is known to break buggy userspace that uses incomplete, buggy AVX enumeration. Unfortunately, such userspace does exist in the wild:
