LSM hooks are currently invoked from a linked list as indirect calls which are invoked using retpolines as a mitigation for speculative attacks (Branch History / Target injection) and add extra overhead which is especially bad in kernel hot paths: security_file_ioctl: 0xffffffff814f0320 <+0>: endbr64 0xffffffff814f0324 <+4>: push %rbp 0xffffffff814f0325 <+5>: push %r15 0xffffffff814f0327 <+7>: push %r14 0xffffffff814f0329 <+9>: push %rbx 0xffffffff814f032a <+10>: mov %rdx,%rbx 0xffffffff814f032d <+13>: mov %esi,%ebp 0xffffffff814f032f <+15>: mov %rdi,%r14 0xffffffff814f0332 <+18>: mov $0xffffffff834a7030,%r15 0xffffffff814f0339 <+25>: mov (%r15),%r15 0xffffffff814f033c <+28>: test %r15,%r15 0xffffffff814f033f <+31>: je 0xffffffff814f0358 <security_file_ioctl+56> 0xffffffff814f0341 <+33>: mov 0x18(%r15),%r11 0xffffffff814f0345 <+37>: mov %r14,%rdi 0xffffffff814f0348 <+40>: mov %ebp,%esi 0xffffffff814f034a <+42>: mov %rbx,%rdx 0xffffffff814f034d <+45>: call 0xffffffff81f742e0 <__x86_indirect_thunk_array+352> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Indirect calls that use retpolines leading to overhead, not just due to extra instruction but also branch misses. 0xffffffff814f0352 <+50>: test %eax,%eax 0xffffffff814f0354 <+52>: je 0xffffffff814f0339 <security_file_ioctl+25> 0xffffffff814f0356 <+54>: jmp 0xffffffff814f035a <security_file_ioctl+58> 0xffffffff814f0358 <+56>: xor %eax,%eax 0xffffffff814f035a <+58>: pop %rbx 0xffffffff814f035b <+59>: pop %r14 0xffffffff814f035d <+61>: pop %r15 0xffffffff814f035f <+63>: pop %rbp 0xffffffff814f0360 <+64>: jmp 0xffffffff81f747c4 <__x86_return_thunk> The indirect calls are not really needed as one knows the addresses of enabled LSM callbacks at boot time and only the order can possibly change at boot time with the lsm= kernel command line parameter. An array of static calls is defined per LSM hook and the static calls are updated at boot time once the order has been determined. A static key guards whether an LSM static call is enabled or not, without this static key, for LSM hooks that return an int, the presence of the hook that returns a default value can create side-effects which has resulted in bugs [1]. With the hook now exposed as a static call, one can see that the retpolines are no longer there and the LSM callbacks are invoked directly: security_file_ioctl: 0xffffffff818f0ca0 <+0>: endbr64 0xffffffff818f0ca4 <+4>: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 0xffffffff818f0ca9 <+9>: push %rbp 0xffffffff818f0caa <+10>: push %r14 0xffffffff818f0cac <+12>: push %rbx 0xffffffff818f0cad <+13>: mov %rdx,%rbx 0xffffffff818f0cb0 <+16>: mov %esi,%ebp 0xffffffff818f0cb2 <+18>: mov %rdi,%r14 0xffffffff818f0cb5 <+21>: jmp 0xffffffff818f0cc7 <security_file_ioctl+39> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Static key enabled for SELinux 0xffffffff818f0cb7 <+23>: jmp 0xffffffff818f0cde <security_file_ioctl+62> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Static key enabled for BPF LSM.

In most cases this is still a better choice as even when an LSM with one hook is added, empty slots are created for all LSM hooks (especially when many LSMs that do not initialize most hooks are present on the system). There are some hooks that don't use the call_int_hook and call_void_hook. These hooks are updated to use a new macro called security_for_each_hook where the lsm_callback is directly invoked as an indirect call. Currently, there are no performance sensitive hooks that use the security_for_each_hook macro. However, if, some performance sensitive hooks are discovered, these can be updated to use static calls with loop unrolling as well using a custom macro. Below are results of the relevant Unixbench system benchmarks with BPF LSM and SELinux enabled with default policies enabled with and without these patches.
