commit b4845bb6383821a9516ce30af3a27dc873e37fd4 upstream.
Add generic hypercall functions usable for all normal (i.e. not iret)
hypercalls. Depending on the guest type and the processor vendor
different functions need to be used due to the to be used instruction
for entering the hypervisor:
- PV guests need to use syscall
- HVM/PVH guests on Intel need to use vmcall
- HVM/PVH guests on AMD and Hygon need to use vmmcall
As PVH guests need to issue hypercalls very early during boot, there
is a 4th hypercall function needed for HVM/PVH which can be used on
Intel and AMD processors. It will check the vendor type and then set
the Intel or AMD specific function to use via static_call().
This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.

commit afd30525a659ac0ae0904f0cb4a2ca75522c3123 upstream.
USERGS_SYSRET64 is used to return from a syscall via SYSRET, but
a Xen PV guest will nevertheless use the IRET hypercall, as there
is no sysret PV hypercall defined.
So instead of testing all the prerequisites for doing a sysret and
then mangling the stack for Xen PV again for doing an iret just use
the iret exit from the beginning.
This can easily be done via an ALTERNATIVE like it is done for the
sysenter compat case already.
It should be noted that this drops the optimization in Xen for not
restoring a few registers when returning to user mode, but it seems
as if the saved instructions in the kernel more than compensate for
this drop (a kernel build in a Xen PV guest was slightly faster with
this patch applied).
While at it remove the stale sysret32 remnants.
[ pawan: Brad Spengler and Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org>
reported a problem with the 5.10 backport commit edc702b4a820
("x86/entry_64: Add VERW just before userspace transition").
When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y, CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS is not executed in
syscall_return_via_sysret path as USERGS_SYSRET64 is runtime
patched to:
.cpu_usergs_sysret64 = { 0x0f, 0x01, 0xf8,
0x48, 0x0f, 0x07 }, // swapgs; sysretq
which is missing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS. It turns out dropping
USERGS_SYSRET64 simplifies the code, allowing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS
to be explicitly added to syscall_return_via_sysret path. Below
is with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y and this patch applied:
syscall_return_via_sysret:
...
<+342>: swapgs
<+345>: xchg %ax,%ax
<+347>: verw -0x1a2(%rip) <------
<+354>: sysretq
