Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 00/28] riscv control-flow integrity for usermode
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2024 22:21:25 -0800

From: Deepak Gupta <debug@rivosinc.com>

It's been almost an year since I posted my last patch series [1] to
enable CPU assisted control-flow integrity for usermode on riscv. A lot
has changed since then and so has the patches. It's been a while and since
this is a reboot of series, starting with RFC and v1.

Securing control-flow integrity for usermode requires following

    - Securing forward control flow : All callsites must reach
      reach a target that they actually intend to reach.

    - Securing backward control flow : All function returns must
      return to location where they were called from.

This patch series use riscv cpu extension `zicfilp` [2] to secure forward
control flow and `zicfiss` [2] to secure backward control flow. `zicfilp`
enforces that all indirect calls or jmps must land on a landing pad instr
and label embedded in landing pad instr must match a value programmed in
`x7` register (at callsite via compiler). `zicfiss` introduces shadow stack
which can only be writeable via shadow stack instructions (sspush and
ssamoswap) and thus can't be tampered with via inadvertent stores. More
details about extension can be read from [2] and there are details in
documentation as well (in this patch series).

Using config `CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI`, kernel support for riscv control flow
integrity for user mode programs can be compiled in the kernel.

Enabling of control flow integrity for user programs is left to user runtime
(specifically expected from dynamic loader). There has been a lot of earlier
discussion on the enabling topic around x86 shadow stack enabling [3, 4, 5] and
overall consensus had been to let dynamic loader (or usermode) to decide for
enabling the feature.

This patch series introduces arch agnostic `prctls` to enable shadow stack
and indirect branch tracking. And implements them on riscv. arm64 is expected
to implement shadow stack part of these arch agnostic `prctls` [6]

Changes since last time
***********************

Spec changes
------------
- Forward cfi spec has become much simpler. `lpad` instruction is pseudo for
  `auipc rd, <20bit_imm>`. `lpad` checks x7 against 20bit embedded in instr.
  Thus label width is 20bit.

- Shadow stack management instructions are reduced to
    sspush - to push x1/x5 on shadow stack
    sspopchk - pops from shadow stack and comapres with x1/x5.
    ssamoswap - atomically swap value on shadow stack.
    rdssp - reads current shadow stack pointer

- Shadow stack accesses on readonly memory always raise AMO/store page fault.
  `sspopchk` is load but if underlying page is readonly, it'll raise a store
  page fault. It simplifies hardware and kernel for COW handling for shadow
  stack pages.

- riscv defines a new exception type `software check exception` and control flow
  violations raise software check exception.

- enabling controls for shadow stack and landing are in xenvcfg CSR and controls
  lower privilege mode enabling. As an example senvcfg controls enabling for U and
  menvcfg controls enabling for S mode.

core mm shadow stack enabling
-----------------------------
Shadow stack for x86 usermode are now in mainline and thus this patch
series builds on top of that for arch-agnostic mm related changes. Big
thanks and shout out to Rick Edgecombe for that.

Created some minimal selftests to test the patch series.
