UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm: Fix CP Exception when CET enable
Root cause:
1. Before DisableReadonlyPageWriteProtect() is called, the return
address (coconut-svsm#1) is pushed in shadow stack.
2. CET is disabled.
3. DisableReadonlyPageWriteProtect() returns to coconut-svsm#1.
4. Page table is modified.
5. EnableReadonlyPageWriteProtect() is called, but the return
address (coconut-svsm#2) is not pushed in shadow stack.
6. CET is enabled.
7. EnableReadonlyPageWriteProtect() returns to coconut-svsm#2.
#CP exception happens because the actual return address (coconut-svsm#2)
doesn't match the return address stored in shadow stack (coconut-svsm#1).
Analysis:
Shadow stack will stop update after CET disable (DisableCet() in
DisableReadOnlyPageWriteProtect), but normal smi stack will be
continue updated with the function called and return
(DisableReadOnlyPageWriteProtect & EnableReadOnlyPageWriteProtect),
thus leading stack mismatch after CET re-enabled (EnableCet() in
EnableReadOnlyPageWriteProtect).
According SDM Vol 3, 6.15-Control Protection Exception:
Normal smi stack and shadow stack must be matched when CET enable,
otherwise CP Exception will happen, which is caused by a near RET
instruction.
CET is disabled in DisableCet(), while can be enabled in
EnableCet(). This way won't cause the problem because they are
implemented in a way that return address of DisableCet() is
poped out from shadow stack (Incsspq performs a pop to increases
the shadow stack) and EnableCet() doesn't use "RET" but "JMP" to
return to caller. So calling EnableCet() and DisableCet() doesn't
have the same issue as calling DisableReadonlyPageWriteProtect()
and EnableReadonlyPageWriteProtect().
With above root cause & analysis, define below 2 macros instead of
functions for WP & CET operation:
WRITE_UNPROTECT_RO_PAGES (Wp, Cet)
WRITE_PROTECT_RO_PAGES (Wp, Cet)
Because DisableCet() & EnableCet() must be in the same function
to avoid shadow stack and normal SMI stack mismatch.
Note: WRITE_UNPROTECT_RO_PAGES () must be called pair with
WRITE_PROTECT_RO_PAGES () in same function.
