x86/entry: Clear X86_FEATURE_SMAP when CONFIG_X86_SMAP=n
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 3958b9c upstream.

Commit

  3c73b81 ("x86/entry, selftests: Further improve user entry sanity checks")

added a warning if AC is set when in the kernel.

Commit

  662a022 ("x86/entry: Fix AC assertion")

changed the warning to only fire if the CPU supports SMAP.

However, the warning can still trigger on a machine that supports SMAP
but where it's disabled in the kernel config and when running the
syscall_nt selftest, for example:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 49 at irqentry_enter_from_user_mode
  CPU: 0 PID: 49 Comm: init Tainted: G                T 5.15.0-rc4+ linux-sunxi#98 e6202628ee053b4f310759978284bd8bb0ce6905
  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014
  RIP: 0010:irqentry_enter_from_user_mode
  ...
  Call Trace:
   ? irqentry_enter
   ? exc_general_protection
   ? asm_exc_general_protection
   ? asm_exc_general_protectio

IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_SMAP) could be added to the warning condition, but
even this would not be enough in case SMAP is disabled at boot time with
the "nosmap" parameter.

To be consistent with "nosmap" behaviour, clear X86_FEATURE_SMAP when
!CONFIG_X86_SMAP.

Found using entry-fuzz + satrandconfig.
