Merge tag 'x86_urgent_for_6.5_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 CFI fixes from Peter Zijlstra: "Fix kCFI/FineIBT weaknesses The primary bug Alyssa noticed was that with FineIBT enabled function prologues have a spurious ENDBR instruction: __cfi_foo: endbr64 subl $hash, %r10d jz 1f ud2 nop 1: foo: endbr64 <--- *sadface* This means that any indirect call that fails to target the __cfi symbol and instead targets (the regular old) foo+0, will succeed due to that second ENDBR. Fixing this led to the discovery of a single indirect call that was still doing this: ret_from_fork(). Since that's an assembly stub the compiler would not generate the proper kCFI indirect call magic and it would not get patched. Brian came up with the most comprehensive fix -- convert the thing to C with only a very thin asm wrapper. This ensures the kernel thread boostrap is a proper kCFI call. While discussing all this, Kees noted that kCFI hashes could/should be poisoned to seal all functions whose address is never taken, further limiting the valid kCFI targets -- much like we already do for IBT. So what was a 'simple' observation and fix cascaded into a bunch of inter-related CFI infrastructure fixes" * tag 'x86_urgent_for_6.5_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/cfi: Only define poison_cfi() if CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y x86/fineibt: Poison ENDBR at +0 x86: Rewrite ret_from_fork() in C x86/32: Remove schedule_tail_wrapper() x86/cfi: Extend ENDBR sealing to kCFI x86/alternative: Rename apply_ibt_endbr() x86/cfi: Extend {JMP,CAKK}_NOSPEC comment
