tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format

2025-01-09T12:31:55Z

[ Upstream commit afd2627f727b89496d79a6b934a025fc916d4ded ] The TP_printk() portion of a trace event is executed at the time a event is read from the trace. This can happen seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years possibly later since the event was recorded. If the print format contains a dereference to a string via "%s", and that string was allocated, there's a chance that string could be freed before it is read by the trace file. To protect against such bugs, there are two functions that verify the event. The first one is test_event_printk(), which is called when the event is created. It reads the TP_printk() format as well as its arguments to make sure nothing may be dereferencing a pointer that was not copied into the ring buffer along with the event. If it is, it will trigger a WARN_ON(). For strings that use "%s", it is not so easy. The string may not reside in the ring buffer but may still be valid. Strings that are static and part of the kernel proper which will not be freed for the life of the running system, are safe to dereference. But to know if it is a pointer to a static string or to something on the heap can not be determined until the event is triggered. This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]". The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would then be ready to point at the string in question. For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify() function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't possible, it would disable it. Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on with new optimizations of the compiler. Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at "%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be printed using the printf format. When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value. Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set. Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access. The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is removed.

tracing: Fix trace_check_vprintf() when tp_printk is used

2025-01-09T12:31:55Z

[ Upstream commit 50a3242d84ee1625b0bfef29b95f935958dccfbe ] When the tp_printk kernel command line is used, the trace events go directly to printk(). It is still checked via the trace_check_vprintf() function to make sure the pointers of the trace event are legit. The addition of reading buffers from previous boots required adding a delta between the addresses of the previous boot and the current boot so that the pointers in the old buffer can still be used. But this required adding a trace_array pointer to acquire the delta offsets. The tp_printk code does not provide a trace_array (tr) pointer, so when the offsets were examined, a NULL pointer dereference happened and the kernel crashed. If the trace_array does not exist, just default the delta offsets to zero, as that also means the trace event is not being read from a previous boot.

tracing: Handle old buffer mappings for event strings and functions

2025-01-09T12:31:55Z

[ Upstream commit 07714b4bb3f9800261c8b4b2f47e9010ed60979d ] Use the saved text_delta and data_delta of a persistent memory mapped ring buffer that was saved from a previous boot, and use the delta in the trace event print output so that strings and functions show up normally. That is, for an event like trace_kmalloc() that prints the callsite via "%pS", if it used the address saved in the ring buffer it will not match the function that was saved in the previous boot if the kernel remaps itself between boots. For RCU events that point to saved static strings where only the address of the string is saved in the ring buffer, it too will be adjusted to point to where the string is on the current boot.

seq_buf: Introduce DECLARE_SEQ_BUF and seq_buf_str()

2025-01-09T12:31:55Z

[ Upstream commit dcc4e5728eeaeda84878ca0018758cff1abfca21 ] Solve two ergonomic issues with struct seq_buf; 1) Too much boilerplate is required to initialize: struct seq_buf s; char buf[32]; seq_buf_init(s, buf, sizeof(buf)); Instead, we can build this directly on the stack. Provide DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() macro to do this: DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(s, 32); 2) %NUL termination is fragile and requires 2 steps to get a valid C String (and is a layering violation exposing the "internals" of seq_buf): seq_buf_terminate(s); do_something(s->buffer); Instead, we can just return s->buffer directly after terminating it in the refactored seq_buf_terminate(), now known as seq_buf_str(): do_something(seq_buf_str(s)); Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231027155634.make.260-kees@kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231026194033.it.702-kees@kernel.org/ Cc: Yosry Ahmed Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Justin Stitt Cc: Kent Overstreet Cc: Petr Mladek Cc: Andy Shevchenko Cc: Rasmus Villemoes Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: Yun Zhou Cc: Jacob Keller Cc: Zhen Lei Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) Stable-dep-of: afd2627f727b ("tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

tracing: Have process_string() also allow arrays

2025-01-09T12:31:54Z

commit afc6717628f959941d7b33728570568b4af1c4b8 upstream. In order to catch a common bug where a TRACE_EVENT() TP_fast_assign() assigns an address of an allocated string to the ring buffer and then references it in TP_printk(), which can be executed hours later when the string is free, the function test_event_printk() runs on all events as they are registered to make sure there's no unwanted dereferencing. It calls process_string() to handle cases in TP_printk() format that has "%s". It returns whether or not the string is safe. But it can have some false positives. For instance, xe_bo_move() has: TP_printk("move_lacks_source:%s, migrate object %p [size %zu] from %s to %s device_id:%s", __entry->move_lacks_source ? "yes" : "no", __entry->bo, __entry->size, xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->old_placement], xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->new_placement], __get_str(device_id)) Where the "%s" references into xe_mem_type_to_name[]. This is an array of pointers that should be safe for the event to access. Instead of flagging this as a bad reference, if a reference points to an array, where the record field is the index, consider it safe.

tracing/kprobe: Make trace_kprobe's module callback called after jump_label update

tracing: Add "%s" check in test_event_printk()

2024-12-27T12:58:54Z

commit 65a25d9f7ac02e0cf361356e834d1c71d36acca9 upstream. The test_event_printk() code makes sure that when a trace event is registered, any dereferenced pointers in from the event's TP_printk() are pointing to content in the ring buffer. But currently it does not handle "%s", as there's cases where the string pointer saved in the ring buffer points to a static string in the kernel that will never be freed. As that is a valid case, the pointer needs to be checked at runtime. Currently the runtime check is done via trace_check_vprintf(), but to not have to replicate everything in vsnprintf() it does some logic with the va_list that may not be reliable across architectures. In order to get rid of that logic, more work in the test_event_printk() needs to be done. Some of the strings can be validated at this time when it is obvious the string is valid because the string will be saved in the ring buffer content. Do all the validation of strings in the ring buffer at boot in test_event_printk(), and make sure that the field of the strings that point into the kernel are accessible. This will allow adding checks at runtime that will validate the fields themselves and not rely on paring the TP_printk() format at runtime.

tracing: Add missing helper functions in event pointer dereference check

2024-12-27T12:58:54Z

commit 917110481f6bc1c96b1e54b62bb114137fbc6d17 upstream. The process_pointer() helper function looks to see if various trace event macros are used. These macros are for storing data in the event. This makes it safe to dereference as the dereference will then point into the event on the ring buffer where the content of the data stays with the event itself. A few helper functions were missing. Those were: __get_rel_dynamic_array() __get_dynamic_array_len() __get_rel_dynamic_array_len() __get_rel_sockaddr() Also add a helper function find_print_string() to not need to use a middle man variable to test if the string exists.
