modpost: fix undefined behavior of is_arm_mapping_symbol()

2022-06-14T14:54:00Z

[ Upstream commit d6b732666a1bae0df3c3ae06925043bba34502b1 ] The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$" is passed in. strchr(3) says: The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator. When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is referenced (i.e. buffer overrun). Test code --------- char str1[] = "abc"; char str2[] = "ab"; strcpy(str1, "$"); strcpy(str2, "$"); printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1)); printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2)); Result ------ test1: 0 test2: 1 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

modpost: fix removing numeric suffixes

2022-06-14T14:53:57Z

[ Upstream commit b5beffa20d83c4e15306c991ffd00de0d8628338 ] With the `-z unique-symbol` linker flag or any similar mechanism, it is possible to trigger the following: ERROR: modpost: "param_set_uint.0" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL The reason is that for now the condition from remove_dot(): if (m && (s[n + m] == '.' || s[n + m] == 0)) which was designed to test if it's a dot or a '\0' after the suffix is never satisfied. This is due to that `s[n + m]` always points to the last digit of a numeric suffix, not on the symbol next to it (from a custom debug print added to modpost): param_set_uint.0, s[n + m] is '0', s[n + m + 1] is '\0' So it's off-by-one and was like that since 2014. Fix this for the sake of any potential upcoming features, but don't bother stable-backporting, as it's well hidden -- apart from that LD flag, it can be triggered only with GCC LTO which never landed upstream.

modpost: skip ELF local symbols during section mismatch check

2019-12-17T19:38:30Z

[ Upstream commit a4d26f1a0958bb1c2b60c6f1e67c6f5d43e2647b ] During development of a serial console driver with a gcc 8.2.0 toolchain for RISC-V, the following modpost warning appeared: ---- WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x19b10): Section mismatch in reference from the variable .LANCHOR1 to the function .init.text:sifive_serial_console_setup() The variable .LANCHOR1 references the function __init sifive_serial_console_setup() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console ---- ".LANCHOR1" is an ELF local symbol, automatically created by gcc's section anchor generation code: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Anchored-Addresses.html https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/varasm.c;h=cd9591a45617464946dcf9a126dde277d9de9804;hb=9fb89fa845c1b2e0a18d85ada0b077c84508ab78#l7473 This was verified by compiling the kernel with -fno-section-anchors and observing that the ".LANCHOR1" ELF local symbol disappeared, and modpost no longer warned about the section mismatch. The serial driver code idiom triggering the warning is standard Linux serial driver practice that has a specific whitelist inclusion in modpost.c. I'm neither a modpost nor an ELF expert, but naively, it doesn't seem useful for modpost to report section mismatch warnings caused by ELF local symbols by default. Local symbols have compiler-generated names, and thus bypass modpost's whitelisting algorithm, which relies on the presence of a non-autogenerated symbol name. This increases the likelihood that false positive warnings will be generated (as in the above case). Thus, disable section mismatch reporting on ELF local symbols. The rationale here is similar to that of commit 2e3a10a1551d ("ARM: avoid ARM binutils leaking ELF local symbols") and of similar code already present in modpost.c: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/mod/modpost.c?h=v4.19-rc4&id=7876320f88802b22d4e2daf7eb027dd14175a0f8#n1256 This third version of the patch implements a suggestion from Masahiro Yamada to restructure the code as an additional pattern matching step inside secref_whitelist(), and further improves the patch description.

kbuild: modversions: Fix relative CRC byte order interpretation

2019-04-03T04:25:17Z

commit 54a7151b1496cddbb7a83546b7998103e98edc88 upstream. Fix commit 56067812d5b0 ("kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCs") where CRCs are interpreted in host byte order rather than proper kernel byte order. The bug is conditional on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. For example, when loading a BE module into a BE kernel compiled with a LE system, the error "disagrees about version of symbol module_layout" is produced. A message such as "Found checksum D7FA6856 vs module 5668FAD7" will be given with debug enabled, which indicates an obvious endian problem within __kcrctab within the kernel image. The general solution is to use the macro TO_NATIVE, as is done in similar cases throughout modpost.c. With this correction it has been verified that a BE kernel compiled with a LE system accepts BE modules. This change has also been verified with a LE kernel compiled with a LE system, in which case TO_NATIVE returns its value unmodified since the byte orders match. This is by far the common case.

modpost: validate symbol names also in find_elf_symbol

2019-02-12T18:45:59Z

[ Upstream commit 5818c683a619c534c113e1f66d24f636defc29bc ] If an ARM mapping symbol shares an address with a valid symbol, find_elf_symbol can currently return the mapping symbol instead, as the symbol is not validated. This can result in confusing warnings: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x18f4028): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_reset_devices() to the variable .init.text:$x.0 This change adds a call to is_valid_name to find_elf_symbol, similarly to how it's already used in find_elf_symbol2.

module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in module

2018-02-07T19:12:18Z

commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8 There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the right compiler or the right option. To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source or prebuilt object files are not checked. If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.
