Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv: VMAPSTACK overflow detection thread-safe commit 31da94c25aea ("riscv: add VMAPSTACK overflow detection") added support for CONFIGVMAPSTACK. If overflow is detected, CPU switches to shadow_stack temporarily before switching finally to per-cpu overflow_stack. If two CPUs/harts are racing and end up in over flowing kernel stack, one or both will end up corrupting each other state because shadow_stack is not per-cpu. This patch optimizes per-cpu overflow stack switch by directly picking per-cpu overflow_stack and gets rid of shadow_stack. Following are the changes in this patch - Defines an asm macro to obtain per-cpu symbols in destination register. - In entry.S, when overflow is detected, per-cpu overflow stack is located using per-cpu asm macro. Computing per-cpu symbol requires a temporary register. x31 is saved away into CSRSCRATCH (CSRSCRATCH is anyways zero since we're in kernel). Please see Links for additional relevant disccussion and alternative solution.
