x86/retpoline: Don't clobber RFLAGS during srso_safe_ret()
commit ba5ca5e5 upstream. Use LEA instead of ADD when adjusting %rsp in srso_safe_ret{,_alias}() so as to avoid clobbering flags. Drop one of the INT3 instructions to account for the LEA consuming one more byte than the ADD. KVM's emulator makes indirect calls into a jump table of sorts, where the destination of each call is a small blob of code that performs fast emulation by executing the target instruction with fixed operands. E.g. to emulate ADC, fastop() invokes adcb_al_dl(): adcb_al_dl: <+0>: adc %dl,%al <+2>: jmp <__x86_return_thunk> A major motivation for doing fast emulation is to leverage the CPU to handle consumption and manipulation of arithmetic flags, i.e. RFLAGS is both an input and output to the target of the call. fastop() collects the RFLAGS result by pushing RFLAGS onto the stack and popping them back into a variable (held in %rdi in this case): asm("push %[flags]; popf; " CALL_NOSPEC " ; pushf; pop %[flags]\n" <+71>: mov 0xc0(%r8),%rdx <+78>: mov 0x100(%r8),%rcx <+85>: push %rdi <+86>: popf <+87>: call *%rsi <+89>: nop <+90>: nop <+91>: nop <+92>: pushf <+93>: pop %rdi and then propagating the arithmetic flags into the vCPU's emulator state: ctxt->eflags = (ctxt->eflags & ~EFLAGS_MASK) | (flags & EFLAGS_MASK); <+64>: and $0xfffffffffffff72a,%r9 <+94>: and $0x8d5,%edi <+109>: or %rdi,%r9 <+122>: mov %r9,0x10(%r8) The failures can be most easily reproduced by running the "emulator" test in KVM-Unit-Tests. If you're feeling a bit of deja vu, see commit b63f20a7 ("x86/retpoline: Don't clobber RFLAGS during CALL_NOSPEC on i386"). In addition, this breaks booting of clang-compiled guest on a gcc-compiled host where the host contains the %rsp-modifying SRSO mitigations.
