[PATCH 00/14] Fix wrong %pF and %pS printk format specifier usages

[Helge Deller]

This patch series fixes the wrong usages of the %pF and %pS printk format
specifiers throughout the kernel code.

Both specifiers have the same result on most architectures. But on ia64, ppc64
and parisc64 architectures the %pF specifier does an extra conversion because
there function pointers are actually function descriptors.

[PATCH 01/14] arm: Use %pS printk format for symbols from direct addresses

[Helge Deller]

Use the %pS printk format for printing symbols from direct addresses.
On ARM there is actually no difference between %pS and %pF, but for consistency
throughout the kernel fix the wrong usage here too.

Use the %pF instead of the %pS printk format specifier for printing function
pointers.  This is needed for the ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 architectures.

[PATCH 12/14] mm/memblock: Use %pS printk format for direct addresses

[Helge Deller]

The debug code in memblock uses wrongly the %pF instead of the %pS printk
format specifier for printing symbols for the address returned by
_builtin_return_address(0)/_RET_IP_. Fix it for the ia64, ppc64 and parisc64
architectures.

hm...

can we fix it in lib/vsprintf.c instead?

a) the patch set has "there is no problem on platform A, but still
   let's just change it"

   which is probably fine. but

b) you tweak/fix the currently existing users, OK. but there, most

It is unclear to me, that if %pF is used, on ia64/ppc64/parisc64 a
function descriptor conversion happens, what negative effect exactly
takes place ? Or you just want to unify the out put format, and get rid
of extra conversion information ?

Thanks.

There is nothing to fix in vsprintf, because it is already providing 
both %pF and %pS for the two different architecture-specific API call
implementations.

Please read the documentation in Documentation/printk-formats.txt.

It's really as simple that if you use function pointers you *need to*
use %pF, and if you use raw addresses of functions, you *need to* use
%pS. If you use the correct specifier the output will automatically
be correct for all architectures. If you don't, then the output on
ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 architectures will be wrong and may lead 
to kernel crashes in the worst case.

My patch series simply fixes that code which has it wrong.
It has no impact at all on users on x86, ARM, mips and  
other platforms.

On ia64/ppc64/parisc64 the kernel will crash here in the worst case, because
vsprintf() will try to read a pointer from that address and resolve it. 
But you hand over a return address (_RET_IP_) which should be 
resolved directly to a symbol. For that you need to use the %pS specifier,
which is what my patch does.

The patch has no negative effect on any platform. Output will still be the
same on x86/mips/arm/... as it has been before with %pF. The only positive
effect of the patch is that the seq_printf will now show correct output on 
ia64/ppc64/parisc64 too.

Oh I see. The patch is OK to me, but could you please add the above
information in the commit log, it will help other bcache developers to
understand the patch. Thanks in advance for doing this.

BTW, I also suggest to fix vsprintf() for this issue. For most of
developers, we don't have sense for such issue on ia64/ppc64/parisc64,
it is still very probably someone else makes similar mistake in future.
If vsprintf() can be fixed, the potential risk can be safe.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I was thinking about this part.

sorry, I don't have access to ia64/ppc64/parisc64 so can't check it or
test it. here is a question, does function descriptor belong to a special
section? can we check that supplied ptr belongs to a descriptor section
and avoid dereference_function_descriptor() if it doesn't? (just fall
through directly to symbol_string() in this case). is this possible?

I mean, there is no mechanism to prevent this type of wrongdoings in
the future, we can't scan the entire kernel for wrong pF/pS all the
time.

BTW, are we sure we can crash? when attempt to deference IP from
the given descriptor? shall we handle page fault in this case and
do something sane? just asking.

probe_kernel_address() handles the page fault and returns -EFAULT if
you give it bad pointer. module_address_lookup() and get_symbol_pos()
seems to be smart enough not to crash on bad pointer as well. what am
I missing? could you please explain where we will crash?

I don't know... does the below code make any sense?

quick and dirty. NOT TESTED at all (not even compile tested).
we can avoid extra probe_kernel_address() on anything that is
not ia64, ppc64, etc.

basically it checks that it's safe to access ptr (we can access it
without page fault in __dereference_function_descriptor()). then
we do ptr->ip, and also check if it's safe, but in
dereference_function_descriptor().

I suppose somethign like

	pr_err("%pF\n", 1);

can crash ia64, etc. correct?


well. not tested.

Actually I never faced a kernel crash because of this on parisc.
Don't know for ia64 and ppc64.

On parisc it will not crash because we handle that one already.
For others I don't know.

But something like
	pr_err("%pF\n", (unsigned long) (-1));
or any address above 0xffffffff00000000ULL might do bad things
on parisc, because it touches the I/O space and we don't check that yet.

This is not needed.
All affected arches (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) already call  
probe_kernel_address() inside their dereference_function_descriptor() function.
So this patch just adds unnecessary overhead for all arches.

I think theoretically yes.
On parisc ptr does *not* point to any code segment, and most likely it
points to the .data segment. I don't know if that's the case for ia64 and
ppc64 too.
I can look into adding such check-code, but even then the warning will
only show up if you run on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64.

start of this discussion:

basically we are looking at possibilities to make %pF/%pS differences
less disturbing. Helge has discovered a number of wrong usages in the
kernel and has fixed the currently existing call sites; the question
is what we can do to avoid this type of the patch sets in the future?
/* assuming that no one reads printk documentation */

Hopefully you guys can help.

good, thanks. honestly, I obviously didn't check what each platform
does. guilty! sort of.

ok. personally I think that we need to start doing "does ptr belong to
descriptor segment/section/etc" thing and skip
dereference_function_descriptor() when it doesn't. [well, where possible.
hopefully on every affected platform... if this problem actually bothers
any one]. that seems like the way to fix the root cause of the problem.
because it's you, Petr and may be 7 more guys who knows the difference
between %pF/%pS. no one else has any idea at all. and no one actually
reads the printk() documentation, let's be real :)

sorry, not sure I understand the "warning" part.

what I'm thinking about is:

- every platform that needs descriptor dereference defines its own
  function. otherwise dereference_descriptor(p) is just (p).

- so it's something like

  arch/platform_abc/include/asm/sections.h

#undef dereference_function_descriptor
static inline void *dereference_function_descriptor(void *ptr)
{
	if (not_a_function_descriptor(ptr))
		return ptr;

	if (!probe_kernel_address(....))
		return function_ip;
	return ptr;
}

- so then in lib/vsprintf.c we can do unconditionally

  case F:
  case f:
  case S:
  case s:
  case B:
	ptr = dereference_function_descriptor(ptr);
	return symbol_string(....);

  because platforms will take care of proper descriptor dereference,
  when needed.

- and ideally we even can drop %pF-%pf. because there won't
  be any difference between `S' and `F'.

something like this.
let's see if this is possible.

any thoughts?

I was thinking about adding code which warns at runtime if %pF/%pS is
presumable used wrongly.
You are thinking about code to work around the complexity by some
kind of autodetection.

I'm not sure if it's possible on ia64/ppc64/parisc64
to reliably detect if it's a function descriptor or not.

I see your idea, nevertheless, there *is* a difference between
a "pointer to some assembler statement" (%pS), and a 
"pointer to a function" (%pF) on some architectures.
That's why %pF and %pS printk specifiers were introduced in 2008
by Linus in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2.

People will probably get it wrong sometimes, and to try to avoid this
by some magic autodetection is IMHO the wrong solution.

Instead, maybe adding some checks to scripts/checkpatch.pl can help?
E.g. warn if %pF is used in combination with the keywords like 
_builtin_return_address, _RET_IP_, and similar.

Agreed. I don't know how to write this test (without changing the compiler to
put the pointers in a separate section ... and then changing the module loader
to keep a list of all these sections).

let me try one more time :)

so below is a number of assumptions, let me know if anything is wrong
there.... and let's try to fix the "wrong bits" ;)


RFC


1) function descriptor table is in .data, not in .text
   correct?

2) symbol resolution consists of 3 steps:

   a) we check if this is a kernel symbol and resolve it if so
   b) we check if the addr belongs to any module and resolve the addr
      if so
   c) we check if the addr is bpf and resolve it if so. let's skip this part.


   so, for (a) we probably can do something like below. can't we?
   // not tested, as usual.

if the addr is not in kernel .text, then try dereferencing it and check

so there are probably some broken parts there. like...

btw, get_ksymbol() is actually interesting. it scans module's sections,
so if we are able to distinguish descriptor ELF sections, then we can
dereference addr only if it belong to descriptor table ELF section.

If it really is a function pointer, then we know that it is safe
to dereference. But if it isn't, then maybe not?

If it is a function pointer then dereferening will indeed give
us a .text address. But if it isn't, it might still give us a
.text address (we could reduce the probability of a false hit
by checking that the .text address was exactly on a symbol with
no offset ... but data values that happen to be the addresses of
function entry points are possible).

I don't like this kind of trying to figure out at runtime at all.
It's too much guessing in here IMHO.

What about this idea:
For %pF we always have pointers to functions, e.g.: 
        printk("Going to call: %pF\n", gettimeofday);
        printk("Going to call: %pF\n", p->func);

and for %pS most (if not all) usages use some kind of casting 
from "unsigned long" to "void *", e.g.:
        printk("%s: called from %pS\n", __func__, (void *)_RET_IP_);
        printk("%s: called from %pS\n", __func__, (void *)__builtin_return_address(0));
        printk("Faulted at %pS\n", (void *)regs->ip);

So, what if we for the %pS case simply take the type as it is 
(unsigned long) and introduce a new printk-format, e.g. "%luS" ?
The %pS examples above then become:
        printk("%s: called from %luS\n", __func__, _RET_IP_);
        printk("%s: called from %luS\n", __func__, __builtin_return_address(0));
        printk("Faulted at %luS\n", regs->ip);

That way we don't need type-casting, gain compile-time type 
checks from the compiler, and we could add a checkpatch (or occinelle)
check which checks for the combination of %pF/%pS and "void*" keyword
and suggest to use %luS.

Opinions?

I grepped only for %pF and %pS.
There might be wrong %ps/%pf usages too.

Sergey, I'm sure there is a way how you can get it somehow to work the way
you describe above, but even then nobody can guarantee you that it
will work in 100% of the cases.

It's somehow like "we have %lu and %c specifiers, and it's basically 
the same, so let's try to figure out at runtime which one should be
used based on analysis of what was given as argument".
It may work somehow, but not always.

What about the idea of a %luS specifier (or something other) ?

The __mod_text_address() may be defined only  on IA64, PPC64 and PARISC since it's only called in those cases.

It seems that dereferencing an invalid function descriptor is rather
safe because probe_kernel_address() prevents crashes.

The question is if we could get wrong results by the autodetection.
The following possibilities come to my mind:

First, if the variable used to store the function descriptor is on
stack and is not initialized. Then there is a non-trivial chance
that the garbage on the stack will be a real return address to an
existing function. Then the autodetection would help to hide this.

Second, if wonder if the address of the function descriptor
might be in callsyms as well. Note that global variables
are in kallsyms as well. Then we would always print
the name of this variable.

I do not have a strong opinion here. On one hand, it is clear
that %pS and %pF are often misused. But I am not sure if the above
possible problems are acceptable.

I am not sure if I miss something. But the different output of
%lu and %c should be easy to distinguish. Also the difference
is the same on all architectures and should be well known.
This is not true for the %pS vs. %pF species.


> What about the idea of a %luS specifier (or something other) ?

I am not a big fun of this. IMHO, the relation between a pointer
and symbol name makes more sense that a relation between an
unsigned long and a symbol name. IMHO, this would just
add even more confusion.

PS: I wonder if the improved documentation and fixing all occurrences
might be enough to reduce this mistake. I guess that most of them
were caused by copying the same pattern from an already broken code.

This seems to be used to print addresses from the stack.
IMHO, we should use %pB here.

the idea is to have less format specifiers ;)

%pF/%pf is a subtle ABI detail, which made it to API.

I'm OK to keep %pf/%pF, if we won't be able to improve %ps/%pS.
otherwise, I'd prefer to get rid of it.

yes. I thought about it - we can do %pS on a pointer to a global
structure. so that simple heuristic would not work reliably. we
parse ELF sections, and we know the address range of .opd section,
so we can check if the supplied pointer is within the .opd section
or not.

.opd does exist on ia64. not sure what's the name of ELF descriptor
section on ppc64/parisc64.

if we will be able to simply do

	.opd->address  <=  ptr  <=  .opd->address + .opd->size

then it mostly should work for us. I guess.

well, may be we can avoid any guessing by checking that the
pointer belongs to .opd section.

for kernel we can add 2 new unsigned longs - __opd_start __opd_end -- and
tweak the corresponding arch/${FOO}/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S file to set those
two, the same way text, unwinding, etc. are set.

.... wait a second.

arch/ia64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S  already handles .opd section

	.opd : AT(ADDR(.opd) - LOAD_OFFSET) {
		*(.opd)
	}

it just doesn't save start/end addresses. so all we need to to
is

        .opd : AT(ADDR(.opd) - LOAD_OFFSET) {
+               __opd_start = .;
                *(.opd)
+               __opd_end = .;
        }

and tweak symbol dereference

 static inline void *dereference_function_descriptor(void *ptr)
 {
        struct fdesc *desc = ptr;
        void *p;
 
+       if (prt < (void *)__start_opd || (void *)__end_opd < ptr)
+               return ptr;
+
        if (!probe_kernel_address(&desc->ip, p))
                ptr = p;
        return ptr;



now, the modules.

module_frob_arch_sections() has the following lines

	else if (strcmp(".opd", secstrings + s->sh_name) == 0)
		mod->arch.opd = s;

so, once, again, we keep the .opd section info in memory. and we
also have the size of that section

	mod->arch.opd->sh_size = fdescs * sizeof(struct fdesc);

so it seems that we've got what we need. need to provide arch callback
(same way as we do with dereference_function_descriptor() to properly
dereference modules' symbols).


so I think we almost have what we need to make ps/pS smart enough
on ppc64/ia64/parisc.

powerpc and parisc handle kernel .opd section as well:

arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S:      .opd
arch/parisc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S:       .opd


need to check more.

for modules, arch-s define mod_arch_specific struct.

parisc has .opd

(fdesc offset should be the start of .opd,
 fdesc_offset + sizeof(fdesc) * fdesc_count should be the .opd address range)

struct mod_arch_specific
{
        unsigned long got_offset, got_count, got_max;
        unsigned long fdesc_offset, fdesc_count, fdesc_max;
        struct {
                unsigned long stub_offset;
                unsigned int stub_entries;
                } *section;
        int unwind_section;
        struct unwind_table *unwind;
};


ia64 has .opd

struct mod_arch_specific {
        struct elf64_shdr *core_plt;    /* core PLT section */
        struct elf64_shdr *init_plt;    /* init PLT section */
        struct elf64_shdr *got;         /* global offset table */
        struct elf64_shdr *opd;         /* official procedure descriptors */
        struct elf64_shdr *unwind;      /* unwind-table section */
        unsigned long gp;               /* global-pointer for module */

        void *core_unw_table;           /* core unwind-table cookie returned by unwinder */
        void *init_unw_table;           /* init unwind-table cookie returned by unwinder */
        unsigned int next_got_entry;    /* index of next available got entry */
};


powerpc does not keep track of .opd, need to add

struct mod_arch_specific {
#ifdef __powerpc64__
        unsigned int stubs_section;     /* Index of stubs section in module */
        unsigned int toc_section;       /* What section is the TOC? */
        bool toc_fixed;                 /* Have we fixed up .TOC.? */
#ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
        unsigned long toc;
        unsigned long tramp;
#endif

#else /* powerpc64 */
        /* Indices of PLT sections within module. */
        unsigned int core_plt_section;
        unsigned int init_plt_section;
#ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
        unsigned long tramp;
#endif
#endif /* powerpc64 */

        /* List of BUG addresses, source line numbers and filenames */
        struct list_head bug_list;
        struct bug_entry *bug_table;
        unsigned int num_bugs;
};


seems like we are looking at a solution here.

The basic concept of your proposal may work, and since it will avoid such
coding issues in the future I think it's probably the best solution.

Will you come up with a patch ? (I won't have time the next few days).
If yes,I'd be happy to test it on parisc.

cool.

I think I can try to come up with something. I don't have any access
to affected H/W, so if I won't be able to bring up qemu images I'll
be happy to just hand it over to platform maintainers: arch-s like
parisc64 are way to exotic ;)  my aim is a removal of %pf/%pF here.

let's hear from ia64 and ppc64 guys.

There is no qemu for parisc yet, but cross-compiling the kernel on Fedora or
Debian from x86_64 is easy and ready-to-go.
Otherwise it's not a problem, I can try in a few days.

If you write a patch, I can try it on some ia64 h/w.

Please include some test cases (perhaps as a second patch that adds a few good/bad %pF and %pS
to some code (both in base kernel, and in a module).

Hello,

I sent out an RFC patch set.


would the following test case work for you?

kernel)

   echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

module)

   modprobe zram
   echo 100M > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

i915.ko never runs on any of these, but if it helps with keeping things
