KVM: arm64: Add missing BTI instructions
Some bti instructions were missing from commit b53d4a272349 ("KVM: arm64: Use BTI for nvhe") 1) kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry is called from __kvm_hyp_init_cpu through "br" instruction as __kvm_hyp_init_cpu resides in idmap section while kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry is in hyp .text so the offset is larger than 128MB range covered by "b". Which means that this function should start with "bti j" instruction. LLVM which is the only compiler supporting BTI for Linux, adds "bti j" for jump tables or by when taking the address of the block [1]. Same behaviour is observed with GCC. As kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry is a C function, this must be done in assembly. Another solution is to use X16/X17 with "br", as according to ARM ARM DDI0487I.a RLJHCL/IGMGRS, PACIASP has an implicit branch target identification instruction that is compatible with PSTATE.BTYPE 0b01 which includes "br X16/X17" And the kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry has PACIASP as it is an external function. Although, using explicit "bti" makes it more clear than relying on which register is used. A third solution is to clear SCTLR_EL2.BT, which would make PACIASP compatible PSTATE.BTYPE 0b11 ("br" to other registers). However this deviates from the kernel behaviour (in bti_enable()). 2) Spectre vector table "br" instructions are generated at runtime for the vector table (__bp_harden_hyp_vecs). These branches would land on vectors in __kvm_hyp_vector at offset 8. As all the macros are defined with valid_vect/invalid_vect, it is sufficient to add "bti j" at the correct offset.
