Mostafa Saleh dcf89d1111 KVM: arm64: Add missing BTI instructions
Some bti instructions were missing from
commit b53d4a2723 ("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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
