From e4d2102018542e3ae5e297bc6e229303abff8a0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pawan Gupta pawan.kumar.gupta@linux.intel.com Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 09:10:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/bugs: Use code segment selector for VERW operand

Robert Gill reported below #GP in 32-bit mode when dosemu software was executing vm86() system call:

general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 4 PID: 4610 Comm: dosemu.bin Not tainted 6.6.21-gentoo-x86 #1 Hardware name: Dell Inc.

This only happens in 32-bit mode when VERW based mitigations like MDS/RFDS are enabled. This is because segment registers with an arbitrary user value can result in #GP when executing VERW. Intel SDM vol. 2C documents the following behavior for VERW instruction:

#GP(0) - If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit.

CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS macro executes VERW instruction before returning to user space. Use %cs selector to reference VERW operand. This ensures VERW will not #GP for an arbitrary user %ds.
