Andy Lutomirski bf904d2762 x86/pti/64: Remove the SYSCALL64 entry trampoline
The SYSCALL64 trampoline has a couple of nice properties:

 - The usual sequence of SWAPGS followed by two GS-relative accesses to
   set up RSP is somewhat slow because the GS-relative accesses need
   to wait for SWAPGS to finish.  The trampoline approach allows
   RIP-relative accesses to set up RSP, which avoids the stall.

 - The trampoline avoids any percpu access before CR3 is set up,
   which means that no percpu memory needs to be mapped in the user
   page tables.  This prevents using Meltdown to read any percpu memory
   outside the cpu_entry_area and prevents using timing leaks
   to directly locate the percpu areas.

The downsides of using a trampoline may outweigh the upsides, however.
It adds an extra non-contiguous I$ cache line to system calls, and it
forces an indirect jump to transfer control back to the normal kernel
text after CR3 is set up.  The latter is because x86 lacks a 64-bit
direct jump instruction that could jump from the trampoline to the entry
text.  With retpolines enabled, the indirect jump is extremely slow.

Change the code to map the percpu TSS into the user page tables to allow
the non-trampoline SYSCALL64 path to work under PTI.  This does not add a
new direct information leak, since the TSS is readable by Meltdown from the
cpu_entry_area alias regardless.  It does allow a timing attack to locate
the percpu area, but KASLR is more or less a lost cause against local
attack on CPUs vulnerable to Meltdown regardless.  As far as I'm concerned,
on current hardware, KASLR is only useful to mitigate remote attacks that
try to attack the kernel without first gaining RCE against a vulnerable
user process.

On Skylake, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and KPTI on, this reduces syscall
overhead from ~237ns to ~228ns.

There is a possible alternative approach: Move the trampoline within 2G of
the entry text and make a separate copy for each CPU.  This would allow a
direct jump to rejoin the normal entry path. There are pro's and con's for
this approach:

 + It avoids a pipeline stall

 - It executes from an extra page and read from another extra page during
   the syscall. The latter is because it needs to use a relative
   addressing mode to find sp1 -- it's the same *cacheline*, but accessed
   using an alias, so it's an extra TLB entry.

 - Slightly more memory. This would be one page per CPU for a simple
   implementation and 64-ish bytes per CPU or one page per node for a more
   complex implementation.

 - More code complexity.

The current approach is chosen for simplicity and because the alternative
does not provide a significant benefit, which makes it worth.

[ tglx: Added the alternative discussion to the changelog ]
