string.h: fix incompatibility between FORTIFY_SOURCE and KASAN

2020-06-20T08:25:15Z

[ Upstream commit 47227d27e2fcb01a9e8f5958d8997cf47a820afc ] The memcmp KASAN self-test fails on a kernel with both KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE. When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the operands. However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo() once they have performed the fortify check. Using __builtins may bypass KASAN checks if the compiler decides to inline it's own implementation as sequence of instructions, rather than emit a function call that goes out to a KASAN-instrumented implementation. Why is only memcmp affected? ============================ Of the string and string-like functions that kasan_test tests, only memcmp is replaced by an inline sequence of instructions in my testing on x86 with gcc version 9.2.1 20191008 (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2). I believe this is due to compiler heuristics. For example, if I annotate kmalloc calls with the alloc_size annotation (and disable some fortify compile-time checking!), the compiler will replace every memset except the one in kmalloc_uaf_memset with inline instructions. (I have some WIP patches to add this annotation.) Does this affect other functions in string.h? ============================================= Yes. Anything that uses __builtin_* rather than __real_* could be affected. This looks like: - strncpy - strcat - strlen - strlcpy maybe, under some circumstances? - strncat under some circumstances - memset - memcpy - memmove - memcmp (as noted) - memchr - strcpy Whether a function call is emitted always depends on the compiler. Most bugs should get caught by FORTIFY_SOURCE, but the missed memcmp test shows that this is not always the case. Isn't FORTIFY_SOURCE disabled with KASAN? ========================================- The string headers on all arches supporting KASAN disable fortify with kasan, but only when address sanitisation is _also_ disabled. For example from x86: #if defined(CONFIG_KASAN) && !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__) /* * For files that are not instrumented (e.g. mm/slub.c) we * should use not instrumented version of mem* functions. */ #define memcpy(dst, src, len) __memcpy(dst, src, len) #define memmove(dst, src, len) __memmove(dst, src, len) #define memset(s, c, n) __memset(s, c, n) #ifndef __NO_FORTIFY #define __NO_FORTIFY /* FORTIFY_SOURCE uses __builtin_memcpy, etc. */ #endif #endif This comes from commit 6974f0c4555e ("include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions"), and doesn't work when KASAN is enabled and the file is supposed to be sanitised - as with test_kasan.c I'm pretty sure this is not wrong, but not as expansive it should be: * we shouldn't use __builtin_memcpy etc in files where we don't have instrumentation - it could devolve into a function call to memcpy, which will be instrumented. Rather, we should use __memcpy which by convention is not instrumented. * we also shouldn't be using __builtin_memcpy when we have a KASAN instrumented file, because it could be replaced with inline asm that will not be instrumented. What is correct behaviour? ========================== Firstly, there is some overlap between fortification and KASAN: both provide some level of _runtime_ checking. Only fortify provides compile-time checking. KASAN and fortify can pick up different things at runtime: - Some fortify functions, notably the string functions, could easily be modified to consider sub-object sizes (e.g. members within a struct), and I have some WIP patches to do this. KASAN cannot detect these because it cannot insert poision between members of a struct. - KASAN can detect many over-reads/over-writes when the sizes of both operands are unknown, which fortify cannot. So there are a couple of options: 1) Flip the test: disable fortify in santised files and enable it in unsanitised files. This at least stops us missing KASAN checking, but we lose the fortify checking. 2) Make the fortify code always call out to real versions. Do this only for KASAN, for fear of losing the inlining opportunities we get from __builtin_*. (We can't use kasan_check_{read,write}: because the fortify functions are _extern inline_, you can't include _static_ inline functions without a compiler warning. kasan_check_{read,write} are static inline so we can't use them even when they would otherwise be suitable.) Take approach 2 and call out to real versions when KASAN is enabled. Use __underlying_foo to distinguish from __real_foo: __real_foo always refers to the kernel's implementation of foo, __underlying_foo could be either the kernel implementation or the __builtin_foo implementation. This is sometimes enough to make the memcmp test succeed with FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled. It is at least enough to get the function call into the module. One more fix is needed to make it reliable: see the next patch.

lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp

2019-04-17T06:37:44Z

[ Upstream commit 5f074f3e192f10c9fade898b9b3b8812e3d83342 ] A recent optimization in Clang (r355672) lowers comparisons of the return value of memcmp against zero to comparisons of the return value of bcmp against zero. This helps some platforms that implement bcmp more efficiently than memcmp. glibc simply aliases bcmp to memcmp, but an optimized implementation is in the works. This results in linkage failures for all targets with Clang due to the undefined symbol. For now, just implement bcmp as a tailcail to memcmp to unbreak the build. This routine can be further optimized in the future. Other ideas discussed: * A weak alias was discussed, but breaks for architectures that define their own implementations of memcmp since aliases to declarations are not permitted (only definitions). Arch-specific memcmp implementations typically declare memcmp in C headers, but implement them in assembly. * -ffreestanding also is used sporadically throughout the kernel. * -fno-builtin-bcmp doesn't work when doing LTO.

string: drop __must_check from strscpy() and restore strscpy() usages in cgroup

2018-07-22T12:28:52Z

commit 08a77676f9c5fc69a681ccd2cd8140e65dcb26c7 upstream. e7fd37ba1217 ("cgroup: avoid copying strings longer than the buffers") converted possibly unsafe strncpy() usages in cgroup to strscpy(). However, although the callsites are completely fine with truncated copied, because strscpy() is marked __must_check, it led to the following warnings. kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c: In function ‘cgroup_file_name’: kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1400:10: warning: ignoring return value of ‘strscpy’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result] strscpy(buf, cft->name, CGROUP_FILE_NAME_MAX); ^ To avoid the warnings, 50034ed49645 ("cgroup: use strlcpy() instead of strscpy() to avoid spurious warning") switched them to strlcpy(). strlcpy() is worse than strlcpy() because it unconditionally runs strlen() on the source string, and the only reason we switched to strlcpy() here was because it was lacking __must_check, which doesn't reflect any material differences between the two function. It's just that someone added __must_check to strscpy() and not to strlcpy(). These basic string copy operations are used in variety of ways, and one of not-so-uncommon use cases is safely handling truncated copies, where the caller naturally doesn't care about the return value. The __must_check doesn't match the actual use cases and forces users to opt for inferior variants which lack __must_check by happenstance or spread ugly (void) casts. Remove __must_check from strscpy() and restore strscpy() usages in cgroup.

string.h: workaround for increased stack usage

2017-12-20T09:10:17Z

commit 146734b091430c80d80bb96b1139a96fb4bc830e upstream. The hardened strlen() function causes rather large stack usage in at least one file in the kernel, in particular when CONFIG_KASAN is enabled: drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-dvb.c: In function 'em28xx_dvb_init': drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-dvb.c:2062:1: error: the frame size of 3256 bytes is larger than 204 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] Analyzing this problem led to the discovery that gcc fails to merge the stack slots for the i2c_board_info[] structures after we strlcpy() into them, due to the 'noreturn' attribute on the source string length check. I reported this as a gcc bug, but it is unlikely to get fixed for gcc-8, since it is relatively easy to work around, and it gets triggered rarely. An earlier workaround I did added an empty inline assembly statement before the call to fortify_panic(), which works surprisingly well, but is really ugly and unintuitive. This is a new approach to the same problem, this time addressing it by not calling the 'extern __real_strnlen()' function for string constants where __builtin_strlen() is a compile-time constant and therefore known to be safe. We do this by checking if the last character in the string is a compile-time constant '\0'. If it is, we can assume that strlen() of the string is also constant. As a side-effect, this should also improve the object code output for any other call of strlen() on a string constant.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

lib/string.c: add multibyte memset functions

2017-09-09T01:26:48Z

Patch series "Multibyte memset variations", v4. A relatively common idiom we're missing is a function to fill an area of memory with a pattern which is larger than a single byte. I first noticed this with a zram patch which wanted to fill a page with an 'unsigned long' value. There turn out to be quite a few places in the kernel which can benefit from using an optimised function rather than a loop; sometimes text size, sometimes speed, and sometimes both. The optimised PowerPC version (not included here) improves performance by about 30% on POWER8 on just the raw memset_l(). Most of the extra lines of code come from the three testcases I added. This patch (of 8): memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the caller to fill the destination with a value larger than a single byte. memset_l() and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and pointer values respectively.
