x86/bpf: Add IBHF call at end of classic BPF
commit 9f725eec8fc0b39bdc07dcc8897283c367c1a163 upstream. Classic BPF programs can be run by unprivileged users, allowing unprivileged code to execute inside the kernel. Attackers can use this to craft branch history in kernel mode that can influence the target of indirect branches. BHI_DIS_S provides user-kernel isolation of branch history, but cBPF can be used to bypass this protection by crafting branch history in kernel mode. To stop intra-mode attacks via cBPF programs, Intel created a new instruction Indirect Branch History Fence (IBHF). IBHF prevents the predicted targets of subsequent indirect branches from being influenced by branch history prior to the IBHF. IBHF is only effective while BHI_DIS_S is enabled. Add the IBHF instruction to cBPF jitted code's exit path. Add the new fence when the hardware mitigation is enabled (i.e., X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_BHB_HW is set) or after the software sequence (X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_BHB_LOOP) is being used in a virtual machine. Note that X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_BHB_HW and X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_BHB_LOOP are mutually exclusive, so the JIT compiler will only emit the new fence, not the SW sequence, when X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_BHB_HW is set. Hardware that enumerates BHI_NO basically has BHI_DIS_S protections always enabled, regardless of the value of BHI_DIS_S. Since BHI_DIS_S doesn't protect against intra-mode attacks, enumerate BHI bug on BHI_NO hardware as well.
