From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen at linux.intel.com>
The results of "access_ok()" can be mis-speculated. The result is that
you can end speculatively:
if (access_ok(from, size))
// Right here
even for bad from/size combinations. On first glance, it would be ideal
to just add a speculation barrier to "access_ok()" so that its results
can never be mis-speculated.
But there are lots of system calls just doing access_ok() via
"copy_to_user()" and friends (example: fstat() and friends). Those are
generally not problematic because they do not _consume_ data from
userspace other than the pointer. They are also very quick and common
system calls that should not be needlessly slowed down.
"copy_from_user()" on the other hand uses a user-controller pointer and
is frequently followed up with code that might affect caches. Take
something like this:
if (!copy_from_user(&kernelvar, uptr, size))
do_something_with(kernelvar);
If userspace passes in an evil 'uptr' that *actually* points to a kernel
addresses, and then do_something_with() has cache (or other)
side-effects, it could allow userspace to infer kernel data values.
Add a barrier to the common copy_from_user() code to prevent
mis-speculated values which happen after the copy.
Also add a stub for architectures that do not define barrier_nospec().
This makes the macro usable in generic code.
Since the barrier is now usable in generic code, the x86 #ifdef in the
BPF code can also go away.
