2021-11-06Compiler Attributes: add __alloc_size() for better bounds checkingKees Cook
GCC and Clang can use the "alloc_size" attribute to better inform the results of __builtin_object_size() (for compile-time constant values). Clang can additionally use alloc_size to inform the results of __builtin_dynamic_object_size() (for run-time values). Because GCC sees the frequent use of struct_size() as an allocator size argument, and notices it can return SIZE_MAX (the overflow indication), it complains about these call sites overflowing (since SIZE_MAX is greater than the default -Walloc-size-larger-than=PTRDIFF_MAX). This isn't helpful since we already know a SIZE_MAX will be caught at run-time (this was an intentional design). To deal with this, we must disable this check as it is both a false positive and redundant. (Clang does not have this warning option.) Unfortunately, just checking the -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than is not sufficient to make the __alloc_size attribute behave correctly under older GCC versions. The attribute itself must be disabled in those situations too, as there appears to be no way to reliably silence the SIZE_MAX constant expression cases for GCC versions less than 9.1: In file included from ./include/linux/resource_ext.h:11, from ./include/linux/pci.h:40, from drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe.h:9, from drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_lib.c:4: In function 'kmalloc_node', inlined from 'ixgbe_alloc_q_vector' at ./include/linux/slab.h:743:9: ./include/linux/slab.h:618:9: error: argument 1 value '18446744073709551615' exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Werror=alloc-size-larger-than=] return __kmalloc_node(size, flags, node); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ./include/linux/slab.h: In function 'ixgbe_alloc_q_vector': ./include/linux/slab.h:455:7: note: in a call to allocation function '__kmalloc_node' declared here void *__kmalloc_node(size_t size, gfp_t flags, int node) __assume_slab_alignment __malloc; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Specifically: '-Wno-alloc-size-larger-than' is not correctly handled by GCC < 9.1 https://godbolt.org/z/hqsfG7q84 (doesn't disable) https://godbolt.org/z/P9jdrPTYh (doesn't admit to not knowing about option) https://godbolt.org/z/465TPMWKb (only warns when other warnings appear) '-Walloc-size-larger-than=18446744073709551615' is not handled by GCC < 8.2 https://godbolt.org/z/73hh1EPxz (ignores numeric value) Since anything marked with __alloc_size would also qualify for marking with __malloc, just include __malloc along with it to avoid redundant markings. (Suggested by Linus Torvalds.) Finally, make sure checkpatch.pl doesn't get confused about finding the __alloc_size attribute on functions. (Thanks to Joe Perches.)

2021-09-13Merge branch 'gcc-min-version-5.1' (make gcc-5.1 the minimum version)Linus Torvalds
Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc version to 5.1. This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before. Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem. The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on. We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a good thing. I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that we no longer support gcc-4.x. As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and finally start using local loop declarations etc. But this series does _not_ yet do that.

2021-02-14percpu: fix clang modpost section mismatchDennis Zhou
pcpu_build_alloc_info() is an __init function that makes a call to cpumask_clear_cpu(). With CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL enabled, the inline heuristics are modified and such cpumask_clear_cpu() which is marked inline doesn't get inlined. Because it works on mask in __initdata, modpost throws a section mismatch error. Arnd sent a patch with the flatten attribute as an alternative [2]. I've added it to compiler_attributes.h. modpost complaint: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x735425): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpumask_clear_cpu() to the variable .init.data:pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask The function cpumask_clear_cpu() references the variable __initdata pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask. This is often because cpumask_clear_cpu lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask is wrong. clang output: mm/percpu.c:2724:5: remark: cpumask_clear_cpu not inlined into pcpu_build_alloc_info because too costly to inline (cost=725, threshold=325) [-Rpass-missed=inline] [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/202012220454.9F6Bkz9q-lkp@intel.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAK8P3a2ZWfNeXKSm8K_SUhhwkor17jFo3xApLXjzfPqX0eUDUA@mail.gmail.com/ Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennis@kernel.org>

The kernel code instrumentation in stackleak gcc plugin works in two stages. At first, stack tracking is added to GIMPLE representation of every function (except some special cases). And later, when stack frame size info is available, stack tracking is removed from the RTL representation of the functions with small stack frame. There is an unwanted side-effect for these functions: some of them do useless work with caller-saved registers. As an example of such case, proc_sys_write without() instrumentation: 55 push %rbp 41 b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%r8d 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp e8 11 ff ff ff callq ffffffff81284610 <proc_sys_call_handler> 5d pop %rbp c3 retq 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 00 00 00 proc_sys_write() with instrumentation: 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 41 56 push %r14 41 55 push %r13 41 54 push %r12 53 push %rbx 49 89 f4 mov %rsi,%r12 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx 49 89 d5 mov %rdx,%r13 49 89 ce mov %rcx,%r14 4c 89 f1 mov %r14,%rcx 4c 89 ea mov %r13,%rdx 4c 89 e6 mov %r12,%rsi 48 89 df mov %rbx,%rdi 41 b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%r8d e8 f2 fe ff ff callq ffffffff81298e80 <proc_sys_call_handler> 5b pop %rbx 41 5c pop %r12 41 5d pop %r13 41 5e pop %r14 5d pop %rbp c3 retq 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 00 00 Let's improve the instrumentation to avoid this: 1. Make stackleak_track_stack() save all register that it works with. Use no_caller_saved_registers attribute for that function. This attribute is available for x86_64 and i386 starting from gcc-7. 2. Insert calling stackleak_track_stack() in asm: asm volatile("call stackleak_track_stack" :: "r" (current_stack_pointer)) Here we use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT trick from arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h. The input constraint is taken into account during gcc shrink-wrapping optimization. It is needed to be sure that stackleak_track_stack() call is inserted after the prologue of the containing function, when the stack frame is prepared.

2019-02-15Compiler Attributes: add support for __copy (gcc >= 9)Miguel Ojeda
From the GCC manual: copy copy(function) The copy attribute applies the set of attributes with which function has been declared to the declaration of the function to which the attribute is applied. The attribute is designed for libraries that define aliases or function resolvers that are expected to specify the same set of attributes as their targets. The copy attribute can be used with functions, variables, or types. However, the kind of symbol to which the attribute is applied (either function or variable) must match the kind of symbol to which the argument refers. The copy attribute copies only syntactic and semantic attributes but not attributes that affect a symbol’s linkage or visibility such as alias, visibility, or weak. The deprecated attribute is also not copied. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html The upcoming GCC 9 release extends the -Wmissing-attributes warnings (enabled by -Wall) to C and aliases: it warns when particular function attributes are missing in the aliases but not in their target, e.g.: void __cold f(void) {} void __alias("f") g(void); diagnoses: warning: 'g' specifies less restrictive attribute than its target 'f': 'cold' [-Wmissing-attributes] Using __copy(f) we can copy the __cold attribute from f to g: void __cold f(void) {} void __copy(f) __alias("f") g(void); This attribute is most useful to deal with situations where an alias is declared but we don't know the exact attributes the target has. For instance, in the kernel, the widely used module_init/exit macros define the init/cleanup_module aliases, but those cannot be marked always as __init/__exit since some modules do not have their functions marked as such.

2018-12-28kasan: add CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGSAndrey Konovalov
This commit splits the current CONFIG_KASAN config option into two: 1. CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, that enables the generic KASAN mode (the one that exists now); 2. CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, that enables the software tag-based KASAN mode. The name CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is chosen as in the future we will have another hardware tag-based KASAN mode, that will rely on hardware memory tagging support in arm64. With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS enabled, compiler options are changed to instrument kernel files with -fsantize=kernel-hwaddress (except the ones for which KASAN_SANITIZE := n is set). Both CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS support both CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE instrumentation modes. This commit also adds empty placeholder (for now) implementation of tag-based KASAN specific hooks inserted by the compiler and adjusts common hooks implementation. While this commit adds the CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS config option, this option is not selectable, as it depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS, which we will enable once all the infrastracture code has been added.

2018-12-21Revert "compiler-gcc: disable -ftracer for __noclone functions"Sean Christopherson
The -ftracer optimization was disabled in __noclone as a workaround to GCC duplicating a blob of inline assembly that happened to define a global variable. It has been pointed out that no amount of workarounds can guarantee the compiler won't duplicate inline assembly[1], and that disabling the -ftracer optimization has several unintended and nasty side effects[2][3]. Now that the offending KVM code which required the workaround has been properly fixed and no longer uses __noclone, remove the -ftracer optimization tweak from __noclone.

2018-11-08Compiler Attributes: improve explanation of headerMiguel Ojeda
Explain better what "optional" attributes are, and avoid calling them so to avoid confusion. Simply retain "Optional" as a word to look for in the comments. Moreover, add a couple sentences to explain a bit more the intention and the documentation links. Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <miguel.ojeda.sandonis@gmail.com>
2018-09-30Compiler Attributes: add support for __nonstring (gcc >= 8)Miguel Ojeda
From the GCC manual: nonstring The nonstring variable attribute specifies that an object or member declaration with type array of char, signed char, or unsigned char, or pointer to such a type is intended to store character arrays that do not necessarily contain a terminating NUL. This is useful in detecting uses of such arrays or pointers with functions that expect NUL-terminated strings, and to avoid warnings when such an array or pointer is used as an argument to a bounded string manipulation function such as strncpy. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html This attribute can be used for documentation purposes (i.e. replacing comments), but it is most helpful when the following warnings are enabled: -Wstringop-overflow Warn for calls to string manipulation functions such as memcpy and strcpy that are determined to overflow the destination buffer. [...] -Wstringop-truncation Warn for calls to bounded string manipulation functions such as strncat, strncpy, and stpncpy that may either truncate the copied string or leave the destination unchanged. [...] In situations where a character array is intended to store a sequence of bytes with no terminating NUL such an array may be annotated with attribute nonstring to avoid this warning. Such arrays, however, are not suitable arguments to functions that expect NUL-terminated strings. To help detect accidental misuses of such arrays GCC issues warnings unless it can prove that the use is safe. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> # on top of v4.19-rc5, clang 7 Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <miguel.ojeda.sandonis@gmail.com>
2018-09-30Compiler Attributes: use feature checks instead of version checksMiguel Ojeda
Instead of using version checks per-compiler to define (or not) each attribute, use __has_attribute to test for them, following the cleanup started with commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusive"), which is supported on gcc >= 5, clang >= 2.9 and icc >= 17. In the meantime, to support 4.6 <= gcc < 5, we implement __has_attribute by hand. All the attributes that can be unconditionally defined and directly map to compiler attribute(s) (even if optional) have been moved to a new file include/linux/compiler_attributes.h In an effort to make the file as regular as possible, comments stating the purpose of attributes have been removed. Instead, links to the compiler docs have been added (i.e. to gcc and, if available, to clang as well). In addition, they have been sorted. Finally, if an attribute is optional (i.e. if it is guarded by __has_attribute), the reason has been stated for future reference.
