Commit 4535e1a4174c4111d92c5a9a21e542d232e0fcaa upstream.
The original version of the mitigation would patch in the calls to the
untraining routines directly. That is, the alternative() in UNTRAIN_RET
will patch in the CALL to srso_alias_untrain_ret() directly.
However, even if commit e7c25c441e9e ("x86/cpu: Cleanup the untrain
mess") meant well in trying to clean up the situation, due to micro-
architectural reasons, the untraining routine srso_alias_untrain_ret()
must be the target of a CALL instruction and not of a JMP instruction as
it is done now.
Reshuffle the alternative macros to accomplish that.

commit 6613d82e617dd7eb8b0c40b2fe3acea655b1d611 upstream.
The VERW mitigation at exit-to-user is enabled via a static branch
mds_user_clear. This static branch is never toggled after boot, and can
be safely replaced with an ALTERNATIVE() which is convenient to use in
asm.
Switch to ALTERNATIVE() to use the VERW mitigation late in exit-to-user
path. Also remove the now redundant VERW in exc_nmi() and
arch_exit_to_user_mode().

commit baf8361e54550a48a7087b603313ad013cc13386 upstream.
MDS mitigation requires clearing the CPU buffers before returning to
user. This needs to be done late in the exit-to-user path. Current
location of VERW leaves a possibility of kernel data ending up in CPU
buffers for memory accesses done after VERW such as:
1. Kernel data accessed by an NMI between VERW and return-to-user can
remain in CPU buffers since NMI returning to kernel does not
execute VERW to clear CPU buffers.
2. Alyssa reported that after VERW is executed,
CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK=y scrubs the stack used by a system
call. Memory accesses during stack scrubbing can move kernel stack
contents into CPU buffers.
3. When caller saved registers are restored after a return from
function executing VERW, the kernel stack accesses can remain in
CPU buffers(since they occur after VERW).
To fix this VERW needs to be moved very late in exit-to-user path.
In preparation for moving VERW to entry/exit asm code, create macros
that can be used in asm. Also make VERW patching depend on a new feature
flag X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF.
[pawan: - Runtime patch jmp instead of verw in macro CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS
due to lack of relative addressing support for relocations
in kernels < v6.5.
- Add UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY to avoid warning:
arch/x86/entry/entry.o: warning: objtool: mds_verw_sel+0x0: unreachable instruction]

There is infrastructure to rewrite return thunks to point to any
random thunk one desires, unwrap that from CALL_THUNKS, which up to
now was the sole user of that.
