Indirect Target Selection (ITS)
4+
===============================
5+
6+
ITS is a vulnerability in some Intel CPUs that support Enhanced IBRS and were
7+
released before Alder Lake. ITS may allow an attacker to control the prediction
8+
of indirect branches and RETs located in the lower half of a cacheline.
9+
10+
ITS is assigned CVE-2024-28956 with a CVSS score of 4.7 (Medium).
11+
12+
Scope of Impact
13+
---------------
14+
- **eIBRS Guest/Host Isolation**: Indirect branches in KVM/kernel may still be
15+
predicted with unintended target corresponding to a branch in the guest.
16+
17+
- **Intra-Mode BTI**: In-kernel training such as through cBPF or other native
18+
gadgets.
19+
20+
- **Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)**: After an IBPB, indirect
21+
branches may still be predicted with targets corresponding to direct branches
22+
executed prior to the IBPB. This is fixed by the IPU 2025.1 microcode, which
23+
should be available via distro updates. Alternatively microcode can be
24+
obtained from Intel's github repository [#f1]_.
25+
26+

======================== ============ ==================== ===============
46+
47+
- All affected CPUs enumerate Enhanced IBRS feature.
48+
- IBPB isolation is affected on all ITS affected CPUs, and need a microcode
49+
update for mitigation.
50+
- None of the affected CPUs enumerate BHI_CTRL which was introduced in Golden
51+
Cove (Alder Lake and Sapphire Rapids). This can help guests to determine the
52+
host's affected status.
53+
- Intel Atom CPUs are not affected by ITS.
54+
55+
Mitigation
56+
----------
57+
As only the indirect branches and RETs that have their last byte of instruction
58+
in the lower half of the cacheline are vulnerable to ITS, the basic idea behind
59+
the mitigation is to not allow indirect branches in the lower half.
60+
61+
This is achieved by relying on existing retpoline support in the kernel, and in
62+
compilers. ITS-vulnerable retpoline sites are runtime patched to point to newly
63+
added ITS-safe thunks. These safe thunks consists of indirect branch in the
64+
second half of the cacheline. Not all retpoline sites are patched to thunks, if
65+
a retpoline site is evaluated to be ITS-safe, it is replaced with an inline
66+
indirect branch.
67+
68+
Dynamic thunks
69+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
70+
From a dynamically allocated pool of safe-thunks, each vulnerable site is
71+
replaced with a new thunk, such that they get a unique address. This could
72+
improve the branch prediction accuracy. Also, it is a defense-in-depth measure
73+
against aliasing.
74+
75+
Note, for simplicity, indirect branches in eBPF programs are always replaced
76+
with a jump to a static thunk in __x86_indirect_its_thunk_array. If required,
77+
in future this can be changed to use dynamic thunks.
78+
79+
All vulnerable RETs are replaced with a static thunk, they do not use dynamic
80+
thunks. This is because RETs get their prediction from RSB mostly that does not
81+
depend on source address. RETs that underflow RSB may benefit from dynamic
82+
thunks. But, RETs significantly outnumber indirect branches, and any benefit
83+
from a unique source address could be outweighed by the increased icache
84+
footprint and iTLB pressure.
85+
86+
Retpoline
87+
~~~~~~~~~
88+
Retpoline sequence also mitigates ITS-unsafe indirect branches. For this
89+
reason, when retpoline is enabled, ITS mitigation only relocates the RETs to
90+
safe thunks. Unless user requested the RSB-stuffing mitigation.
91+
92+
RSB Stuffing
93+
~~~~~~~~~~~~
94+
RSB-stuffing via Call Depth Tracking is a mitigation for Retbleed RSB-underflow
95+
attacks. And it also mitigates RETs that are vulnerable to ITS.
96+
97+
Mitigation in guests
98+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
99+
All guests deploy ITS mitigation by default, irrespective of eIBRS enumeration
100+
and Family/Model of the guest. This is because eIBRS feature could be hidden
101+
from a guest. One exception to this is when a guest enumerates BHI_DIS_S, which
102+
indicates that the guest is running on an unaffected host.
103+
104+
To prevent guests from unnecessarily deploying the mitigation on unaffected
105+
platforms, Intel has defined ITS_NO bit(62) in MSR IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES. When
106+
a guest sees this bit set, it should not enumerate the ITS bug. Note, this bit
107+
is not set by any hardware, but is **intended for VMMs to synthesize** it for
108+
guests as per the host's affected status.
109+
110+
Mitigation options
111+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
112+
The ITS mitigation can be controlled using the "indirect_target_selection"
113+
kernel parameter. The available options are:
114+
115+
======== ===================================================================
116+
on (default) Deploy the "Aligned branch/return thunks" mitigation.
117+
If spectre_v2 mitigation enables retpoline, aligned-thunks are only
118+
deployed for the affected RET instructions. Retpoline mitigates
119+
indirect branches.
120+
121+
off Disable ITS mitigation.
122+
123+
vmexit Equivalent to "=on" if the CPU is affected by guest/host isolation
124+
part of ITS. Otherwise, mitigation is not deployed. This option is
125+
useful when host userspace is not in the threat model, and only
126+
attacks from guest to host are considered.
127+
128+
stuff Deploy RSB-fill mitigation when retpoline is also deployed.
129+
Otherwise, deploy the default mitigation. When retpoline mitigation
130+
is enabled, RSB-stuffing via Call-Depth-Tracking also mitigates
131+
ITS.
132+
133+
force Force the ITS bug and deploy the default mitigation.
134+

Sysfs Interface
42+
===============
43+
44+
The ``intel_idle`` driver exposes the following ``sysfs`` attributes in
45+
``/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/``:
46+
47+
``intel_c1_demotion``
48+
Enable or disable C1 demotion for all CPUs in the system. This file is
49+
only exposed on platforms that support the C1 demotion feature and where
50+
it was tested. Value 0 means that C1 demotion is disabled, value 1 means
51+
that it is enabled. Write 0 or 1 to disable or enable C1 demotion for
52+
all CPUs.
53+
54+
The C1 demotion feature involves the platform firmware demoting deep
55+
C-state requests from the OS (e.g., C6 requests) to C1. The idea is that
56+
firmware monitors CPU wake-up rate, and if it is higher than a
57+
platform-specific threshold, the firmware demotes deep C-state requests
58+
to C1. For example, Linux requests C6, but firmware noticed too many
59+
wake-ups per second, and it keeps the CPU in C1. When the CPU stays in
60+
C1 long enough, the platform promotes it back to C6. This may improve
61+
some workloads' performance, but it may also increase power consumption.
