tl;dr: Replace a synthetic X86_FEATURE with a hardware X86_FEATURE
and check of existing per-cpu state.
== Background ==
There are three features in play here:
1. Good old Page Table Isolation (PTI)
2. Process Context IDentifiers (PCIDs) which allow entries from
multiple address spaces to be in the TLB at once.
3. Support for the "Invalidate PCID" (INVPCID) instruction,
specifically the "individual address" mode (aka. mode 0).
When all *three* of these are in place, INVPCID can and should be used
to flush out individual addresses in the PTI user address space.
But there's a wrinkle or two: First, this INVPCID mode is dependent on
CR4.PCIDE. Even if X86_FEATURE_INVPCID==1, the instruction may #GP
without setting up CR4. Second, TLB flushing is done very early, even
before CR4 is fully set up. That means even if PTI, PCID and INVPCID
are supported, there is *still* a window where INVPCID can #GP.
== Problem ==
The current code seems to work, but mostly by chance and there are a
bunch of ways it can go wrong. It's also somewhat hard to follow
since X86_FEATURE_INVPCID_SINGLE is set far away from its lone user.
== Solution ==
Make "INVPCID single" more robust and easier to follow by placing all
the logic in one place. Remove X86_FEATURE_INVPCID_SINGLE.
Make two explicit checks before using INVPCID:
1. Check that the system supports INVPCID itself (boot_cpu_has())
2. Then check the CR4.PCIDE shadow to ensures that the CPU
can safely use INVPCID for individual address invalidation.
The CR4 check *always* works and is not affected by any X86_FEATURE_*
twiddling or inconsistencies between the boot and secondary CPUs.
This has been tested on non-Meltdown hardware by using pti=on and
then flipping PCID and INVPCID support with qemu.
== Aside ==
How does this code even work today? By chance, I think. First, PTI
is initialized around the same time that the boot CPU sets
CR4.PCIDE=1. There are currently no TLB invalidations when PTI=1 but
CR4.PCIDE=0. That means that the X86_FEATURE_INVPCID_SINGLE check is
never even reached.
this_cpu_has() is also very nasty to use in this context because the
boot CPU reaches here before cpu_data(0) has been initialized. It
happens to work for X86_FEATURE_INVPCID_SINGLE since it's a
software-defined feature but it would fall over for a hardware-
derived X86_FEATURE.
