CVE-2017-5754

Since commit:

  94b1b03b519b ("x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking")

x86's lazy TLB mode has been all the way lazy: when running a kernel thread
(including the idle thread), the kernel keeps using the last user mm's
page tables without attempting to maintain user TLB coherence at all.

From a pure semantic perspective, this is fine -- kernel threads won't
attempt to access user pages, so having stale TLB entries doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, I forgot about a subtlety.  By skipping TLB flushes,
we also allow any paging-structure caches that may exist on the CPU
to become incoherent.  This means that we can have a
paging-structure cache entry that references a freed page table, and
the CPU is within its rights to do a speculative page walk starting
at the freed page table.

I can imagine this causing two different problems:

 - A speculative page walk starting from a bogus page table could read
   IO addresses.  I haven't seen any reports of this causing problems.

 - A speculative page walk that involves a bogus page table can install
   garbage in the TLB.  Such garbage would always be at a user VA, but
   some AMD CPUs have logic that triggers a machine check when it notices
   these bogus entries.  I've seen a couple reports of this.

Boris further explains the failure mode:

To fix this, reinstate TLB coherence in lazy mode.  With this patch
applied, we do it in one of two ways:

 - If we have PCID, we simply switch back to init_mm's page tables
   when we enter a kernel thread -- this seems to be quite cheap
   except for the cost of serializing the CPU.

 - If we don't have PCID, then we set a flag and switch to init_mm
   the first time we would otherwise need to flush the TLB.

The /sys/kernel/debug/x86/tlb_use_lazy_mode debug switch can be changed
to override the default mode for benchmarking.

In theory, we could optimize this better by only flushing the TLB in
lazy CPUs when a page table is freed.  Doing that would require
auditing the mm code to make sure that all page table freeing goes
through tlb_remove_page() as well as reworking some data structures
to implement the improved flush logic.
