commit ebebe30794d38c51f71fe4951ba6af4159d9837d upstream.
cfi_rewrite_callers() updates the fineIBT hash matching at the caller side, but except for paranoid-mode it relies on apply_retpoline() and friends for any ENDBR relocation. This could temporarily cause an indirect branch to land on a poisoned ENDBR.
For instance, with para-virtualization enabled, a simple wrmsrl() could have an indirect branch pointing to native_write_msr() who's ENDBR has been relocated due to fineIBT:
<wrmsrl>: push %rbp mov %rsp,%rbp mov %esi,%eax mov %rsi,%rdx shr $0x20,%rdx mov %edi,%edi mov %rax,%rsi call *0x21e65d0(%rip) # <pv_ops+0xb8> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Such an indirect call during the alternative patching could #CP if the caller is not *yet* adjusted for the new target ENDBR. To prevent a false #CP, keep CET-IBT disabled until all callers are patched.
Patching during the module load does not need to be guarded by IBT-disable because the module code is not executed until the patching is complete.
