gcc-plugins: make it possible to disable CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS again

2020-01-09T09:19:57Z

commit a5b0dc5a46c221725c43bd9b01570239a4cd78b1 upstream. I noticed that randconfig builds with gcc no longer produce a lot of ccache hits, unlike with clang, and traced this back to plugins now being enabled unconditionally if they are supported. I am now working around this by adding export CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK=/usr/bin/size -A %compiler% to my top-level Makefile. This changes the heuristic that ccache uses to determine whether the plugins are the same after a 'make clean'. However, it also seems that being able to just turn off the plugins is generally useful, at least for build testing it adds noticeable overhead but does not find a lot of bugs additional bugs, and may be easier for ccache users than my workaround.

Right now kernel hardening options are scattered around various Kconfig files. This can be a central place to collect these kinds of options going forward. This is initially populated with the memory initialization options from the gcc-plugins. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: Masahiro Yamada

Pull gcc-plugins updates from Kees Cook: "This adds additional type coverage to the existing structleak plugin and adds a large set of selftests to help evaluate stack variable zero-initialization coverage. That can be used to test whatever instrumentation might be performing zero-initialization: either with the structleak plugin or with Clang's coming "-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero" option. Summary: - Add scalar and array initialization coverage - Refactor Kconfig to make options more clear - Add self-test module for testing automatic initialization" * tag 'gcc-plugins-v5.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: lib: Introduce test_stackinit module gcc-plugins: structleak: Generalize to all variable types

kasan: remove use after scope bugs detection.

2019-03-06T05:07:13Z

Use after scope bugs detector seems to be almost entirely useless for the linux kernel. It exists over two years, but I've seen only one valid bug so far [1]. And the bug was fixed before it has been reported. There were some other use-after-scope reports, but they were false-positives due to different reasons like incompatibility with structleak plugin. This feature significantly increases stack usage, especially with GCC < 9 version, and causes a 32K stack overflow. It probably adds performance penalty too. Given all that, let's remove use-after-scope detector entirely. While preparing this patch I've noticed that we mistakenly enable use-after-scope detection for clang compiler regardless of CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA setting. This is also fixed now.

gcc-plugins: structleak: Generalize to all variable types

2019-03-04T17:29:41Z

This adjusts structleak to also work with non-struct types when they are passed by reference, since those variables may leak just like anything else. This is exposed via an improved set of Kconfig options. (This does mean structleak is slightly misnamed now.) Building with CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL should give the kernel complete initialization coverage of all stack variables passed by reference, including padding (see lib/test_stackinit.c). Using CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_VERBOSE to count added initializations under defconfig: ..._BYREF: 5945 added initializations ..._BYREF_ALL: 16606 added initializations There is virtually no change to text+data size (both have less than 0.05% growth): text data bss dec hex filename 19502103 5051456 1917000 26470559 193e89f vmlinux.stock 19513412 5051456 1908808 26473676 193f4cc vmlinux.byref 19516974 5047360 1900616 26464950 193d2b6 vmlinux.byref_all The measured performance difference is in the noise for hackbench and kernel build benchmarks: Stock: 5x hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 Mean: 10.649s Std Dev: 0.339 5x kernel build (4-way parallel) Mean: 261.98s Std Dev: 1.53 CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF: 5x hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 Mean: 10.540s Std Dev: 0.233 5x kernel build (4-way parallel) Mean: 260.52s Std Dev: 1.31 CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL: 5x hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 Mean: 10.320 Std Dev: 0.413 5x kernel build (4-way parallel) Mean: 260.10 Std Dev: 0.86 This does not yet solve missing padding initialization for structures on the stack that are never passed by reference (which should be a tiny minority). Hopefully this will be more easily addressed by upstream compiler fixes after clarifying the C11 padding initialization specification. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel

ARM: smp: add support for per-task stack canaries

2018-12-12T21:20:07Z

On ARM, we currently only change the value of the stack canary when switching tasks if the kernel was built for UP. On SMP kernels, this is impossible since the stack canary value is obtained via a global symbol reference, which means a) all running tasks on all CPUs must use the same value b) we can only modify the value when no kernel stack frames are live on any CPU, which is effectively never. So instead, use a GCC plugin to add a RTL pass that replaces each reference to the address of the __stack_chk_guard symbol with an expression that produces the address of the 'stack_canary' field that is added to struct thread_info. This way, each task will use its own randomized value.
