[PATCH repost 00/16] uaccess: fix sparse warning on get_user for bitwise types

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

At Arnd's request, reposting now that 3.19-rc1 is out.
No changes from the original post, except that xtensa
and powerpc patches have been merged by maintainers.
Please review, and consider for 3.20.

At the moment, if p and x are both tagged as bitwise types,
get_user(x, p) produces a sparse warning on many architectures.
This is because *p on these architectures is loaded into long
(typically using asm), then cast back to typeof(*p).

When typeof(*p) is a bitwise type (which is uncommon), such a cast needs
__force, otherwise sparse produces a warning.

Some architectures already have the __force tag, add it
where it's missing.

Specificlly, vhost wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user.
At the moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an
integer.

I tested this on x86 only. Since it's just adding __force, should be
trivially safe everywhere?

[PATCH repost 13/16] sh/uaccess: fix sparse errors

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

virtio wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user.  At the
moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an
integer.

Fix that up using __force.

I don't know the virtio code much yet, but does it makes sense to read bitwise types?
Will virtio then get possible troubles because of endianess correct as well?

Do you have a code example, or the sparse error message ?

Patches #14 and #15 have identical commit message header lines, you
need to say "sparc32: " or "sparc64: " so that shortlog scanners can
distinguish them.

Thanks.

There's no conversion: we are reading from __virtio16 __user *

Got it.
Arnd, you are queueing this - could you tweak the subjects please?
Or would you prefer me to repost with tweaked subjects?

OK, parisc developers still being dense, but this does look like an
abuse of the bitwise type.  bitwise is supposed to be consumed by endian
specific accessors.  get/put_user have no endian tags because they
really can't do this ... the potential for width mismatch between the
user and kernel address spaces could cause havoc if people get this
wrong, so the warning looks correct to me.

If we take your proposed patch we lose the type checking on all
accessors because of the __force.  Why not, instead, alter your code to
tell the kernel you know what you're doing:

        __u16 v = 0;
        int rc = get_user(v, (__force __u16 __user *)p);
        *val = vringh16_to_cpu(vrh, (__force __virtio16)v);
        return rc;

That way the accessors still warn if anyone else tries this but your
warning is gone and the code basically says you knew the u16 was really
an endianness specific virtio quantity?

To give you another example:

	__le16 __user *p;
	__le16 foo;
	int rc = get_user(v, p);

really should be fine, ATM this gives a warning.

Surely, assignment is OK too? get_user is exactly that.

vringh16_to_cpu is an endian specific accessor.
Look up it's definition please. The reason for that __force is
because we are adding __user.
It's a decision Rusty made to reduce code duplication:
we have some code that handles both kernel and userspace pointers.

I'm sorry I don't understand.

Why is

	access_ok
	__get_user

safer than

	get_user

?

It does not trigger the warning, because
__get_user does not have the cast to long internally.

Also, on some architectures get_user does not cast to long
internally so there's no warning.

Did you try?  In my testing, this is not at all true.

For example with my patch:


             u16 v = 0;
             int rc = get_user(v, (__force __virtio16 __user *)p);

correctly triggers a warning.

Hmm I don't understand, sorry. Tries what?
Can you please show me an invalid use of get_user that
produces a warning currently but won't with my patch?

(__force __virtio16 __user *)
tells get_user exactly that pointer is to type __virtio16.
It does not get any more explicit.

What you are proposing is really discarding type
information by a bunch of __force calls.

I am very reluctant to do this.
In fact, because of the static checking I added,
conversion to virtio 1.0 went so smoothly:
most drivers worked right away after the conversion.
I'm very sure without static checking, or with
__force thrown around liberally, I would have



vringh specifically has one __force cast anyway because
it's mixing userspace and kernel pointers.

But, I also have an out of tree patch that use structures
like this:

	struct foo {
		__virtio16 bar;
	};


Now with my patches I can do:

       __virtio16 v = 0;
	struct foo __user *p;
       int rc = get_user(v, &p->bar);

OK, I think I've figured it out.  You're saying that casting __gu_val to
a bitwise annotated type is an automatic sparse failure because it has
to be a long in our assembly code to receive the load/store as a
register.  However, this is required for sparse to do the correct lvalue
type = rvalue type check in the assignment to x.  We were all thinking
the __force just killed these sparse type checks.

In that case, I think parisc is fine with this.

As far as I understand it, using __force on the value (as opposed to the
pointer) is safe here, in the sense of not masking any genuine defects.
Do you agree? Do you want to apply that hunk with your patch too?

As far as I understand it, using __force on the value (as opposed to the
pointer) is safe here, in the sense of not masking any genuine defects.
Do you agree? Do you want to apply that hunk with your patch too?

Note, this change also suppresses warnings for writing a pointer to
userland due to the casts to unsigned int / unsigned long long, such as
the following (each 4 times due to 4 cases above):

what about this code:
             u16 v = 0;
             int rc = get_user(v, (__force __le16 __user *)p);

it should trigger a warning, does it?

No, but it didn't previously either, and doesn't seem to with x86_64 either.

I tried __be16 too, since I presume you're referring to a discrepancy
between the native byte order of v (u16) and the foreign byte order of
*p (__be16)?

No, but it didn't previously either, and doesn't seem to with x86_64 either.

I tried __be16 too, since I presume you're referring to a discrepancy
between the native byte order of v (u16) and the foreign byte order of
*p (__be16)?

Yes.
It certainly does for me.
Did you define __CHECK_ENDIAN__?

Documentation/sparse.txt says:

To perform endianness
checks, you may define __CHECK_ENDIAN__:

        make C=2 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"

These checks are disabled by default as they generate a host of warnings.


Or just try with __virtio16 instead of __le16 - I think these are
enabled unconditionally.

right, thanks,

So before your patch:

after your patch:

arch/metag/kernel/setup.c:153:18:    expected unsigned short
[unsigned] [usertype] v
arch/metag/kernel/setup.c:153:18:    got restricted __le16 <noident>

Changing to put_user, before my hunk above:

after my hunk above:
arch/metag/kernel/setup.c:154:18: warning: cast to restricted __le16
arch/metag/kernel/setup.c:154:18: warning: cast to restricted __le16
arch/metag/kernel/setup.c:154:18: warning: cast to restricted __le16
arch/metag/kernel/setup.c:154:18: warning: cast to restricted __le16

It seems to still serve its purpose of warning (in one way or
another), due to the implementation of put_user which does an explicit
cast to the type of *ptr:

/*
 * These are the main single-value transfer routines.  They automatically
 * use the right size if we just have the right pointer type.
 */
#define put_user(x, ptr) \
    __put_user_check((__typeof__(*(ptr)))(x), (ptr), sizeof(*(ptr)))

Right. I would probably stick an explicit
	(x) = (ptr)
there.

Let me send a patch.

I think there was a pull request for the whole series that went to Arnd, so
I don't think we need to do anything on the arm64 side.
