[PATCH v3 0/4] uaccess: Add unsafe accessors for arm64

[PATCH v3 0/4] uaccess: Add unsafe accessors for arm64

[Julien Thierry]

Hi,

First version of this series[1] was briefly in linux-next but had to be
reverted due to a bug where schedule would end up being called while
user_access was active[2].

After clarifications[3], rescheduling while in a user_access region is not
allowed.

* Patches 1 and 2 implement the unsafe accessors for arm64
* Patches 3 and 4 clarify this restriction in the API and attempts to
  check against violations of the restriction.

Changes since v2[4]:
- Rebase on v5.0-rc2
- access_ok() is now done in user_access_begin(), so rework accessors
  so access_ok() is not called in unsafe_get/put_user()
- Split addition of unsafe accessors and the user_access_region check
  into separate patches
- Avoid reading SCTLR_EL1 in user_access_region check
- Add build option for user_access_region checking
- Reword clarifications on unsafe accessors API

Changes since v1[1]:
- Add a way to detect code calling schedule within a user_access region
- Make sure put_user/get_user arguments are evaluated before disabling PAN

[PATCH v3 1/4] arm64: uaccess: Cleanup get/put_user()

[Julien Thierry]

__get/put_user_check() macro is made to return a value but this is never
used. Get rid of them and just use directly __get/put_user_error() as
a statement, reducing macro indirection.

Also, take this opportunity to rename __get/put_user_err() as it gets
a bit confusing having them along __get/put_user_error().

[PATCH v3 2/4] arm64: uaccess: Implement unsafe accessors

[Julien Thierry]

Current implementation of get/put_user_unsafe default to get/put_user
which toggle PAN before each access, despite having been told by the caller
that multiple accesses to user memory were about to happen.

Provide implementations for user_access_begin/end to turn PAN off/on and
implement unsafe accessors that assume PAN was already turned off.

[PATCH v3 3/4] uaccess: Check no rescheduling function is called in unsafe region

[Julien Thierry]

While running a user_access regions, it is not supported to reschedule.
Add an overridable primitive to indicate whether a user_access region is
active and check that this is not the case when calling rescheduling
functions.

These checks are only performed when DEBUG_UACCESS_SLEEP is selected.

Also, add a comment clarifying the behaviour of user_access regions.

Since I've been staring intensely at ___might_sleep() lately, I was thinking
we could "copy" it a bit more closely (sorry for going back on what I said
earlier).

Coming back to the double warnings (__might_resched() + schedule_debug()),
it might be better to drop the schedule_debug() warning and just have the
one in __might_resched() - if something goes wrong, there'll already be a
"BUG" in the log.

If it does get noisy, we should go for some ratelimiting - it's probably
good practice even if it is not noisy actually.

___might_sleep() has this:

  if (time_before(jiffies, prev_jiffy + HZ) && prev_jiffy)
  	return;
  prev_jiffy = jiffies;

My only worry with that approach is that if someone has a function that
does resched but does not include the annotation __might_resched() we'd
miss the fact that something went wrong.

But that might be a lot of "if"s since that assumes that something does
go wrong.

Could I have a maintainers opinion on this to know if I respin it?

I guess the noisiness could depend on the arch specific handling of user
accesses. So yes I guess it might be a good idea to add this.

My only worry with that approach is that if someone has a function that
does resched but does not include the annotation __might_resched() we'd
miss the fact that something went wrong.

But that might be a lot of "if"s since that assumes that something does
go wrong.

Could I have a maintainers opinion on this to know if I respin it?

I guess the noisiness could depend on the arch specific handling of user
accesses. So yes I guess it might be a good idea to add this.

In specific; how is the addition in schedule_debug() not triggering on
PREEMPT=y kernels?

If code is preemptible, you can (get) schedule(d). If it is not
preemptible; you do not need these additional tests.

So, the scenarios I'm trying to avoid are of the following flavour:

	if (user_access_begin(ptr, size)) {

		[...]

		// Calling a function that might call schedule()

		[...]
		user_access_end();
	}


The thing is, as I understand, not all function that call schedule() are
annotated with might_resched(), and on the other hand, not every time we
call a function that might_resched() will it call schedule().

Now with Peter's remark I think I might have been overzealous.

Yes that sounds right, might_resched() only potentially reschedules if
in a suitable context, so best case I issue two warnings, worst case I
actually be warn when the caller took care to disable preemption or
interrupts before calling a might_resched().

I guess I got a bit confused with might_sleep() which is "if you call
this in the wrong context I warn" whereas might_resched() is just "if
you call this in preemptible context, lets resched".

I guess I'll drop the might_resched() part of this patch if that sounds
alright.

That sounds perfect - that bit was pretty much the only problem I had

I'm still confused by the schedule_debug() part. How is that not broken?

Hmmm, I am not exactly sure which part you expect to be broken, I guess
it's because of the nature of the uaccess unsafe accessor usage.

Basically, the following is a definite no:
	if (user_access_begin(ptr, size)) {

		[...]

		//something that calls schedule

		[...]

		user_access_end();
	}
	

However the following is fine:

- user_access_begin(ptr, size)
- taking irq/exception
- get preempted
- get resumed at some point in time
- restore state + eret
- user_access_end()

That's because exceptions/irq implicitly "suspend" the user access
region. (That's what I'm trying to clarify with the comment)
So, unsafe_user_region_active() should return false in a irq/exception
context.

Is this what you were concerned about? Or there still something that
might be broken?

I really hate the asymetry introduced between preemptible and being able
to schedule. Both end up calling __schedule() and there really should
not be a difference.

This is also the thing that PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY hinges on; it inserts
'random' reschedule points through might_sleep() and cond_resched().

If you're preemptible; you must be able to schedule and vice-versa.

You're breaking that.

The difference is because getting preempted in the sequence above is
triggered off the back of an interrupt. On arm64, and I think also on x86,
the user access state (SMAP or PAN) is saved and restored across exceptions
but not across context switch. Consequently, taking an irq in a
user_access_{begin,end} section and then scheduling is fine, but calling
schedule directly within such a section is not.

the gist of what we're trying to describe here.

Yes, this summarizes things correctly. Thanks!

I might also stress out that this limitation is already existing for x86
(and is in the arm64 patches picked by Catalin for 5.1), as was
discussed in here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/23/430

So this patch is not introducing new semantics, it is only making
existing ones explicit.

If the current state is not good, we need to re-discuss the semantics of
user_access regions.

So how's this then:

	if (user_access_begin()) {

		preempt_disable();

		<IRQ>
			set_need_resched();
		</IRQ no preempt>

		preempt_enable()
		  __schedule();

		user_access_end();
	}

That _should_ work just fine but explodes with the proposed nonsense.

AFAICT, This does not work properly because when you schedule out this
task, you won't be saving the EFLAGS.AF/PSTATE.PAN bit on the stack, and
next time you schedule the task back in, it might no longer have the
correct flag value (so an unsafe_get/put_user() will fail even though
you haven't reached user_access_end()).

One solution is to deal with this in task switching code, but so far
I've been told that calling schedule() in such a context is not expected
to be supported.

/me looks at __switch_to_asm() and there is indeed a distinct lack of
pushing and popping EFLAGS :/

Well, per the above it breaks the preemption model. And I hates that.

And the added WARN doesn't even begin to cover it, since you'd have to
actually hit the preempt_enable() reschedule for it trigger.

So far, all 6 in-tree users are indeed free of dodgy code, but *groan*.

because of this, there must also not be tracepoints (even implicit ones
like function-trace) between user_access_{begin,end}().

And while that is unlikely with the current code; it is not guaranteed
afaict.

What a ff'ing mess.

A quick reading of the SDM seems to suggest the SMAP state is part of
EFLAGS, which is context switched just fine AFAIK.

SMAP {ab,re}uses the EFLAGS.AC bit.

I fail to see where this is happening when looking at the switch_to()
logic in x86_64.

And Peter A. didn't seem to suggest that this transfer of the eflags was
happening without them being saved on the stack through exception handling.

What am I missing?

Yeah, me too.. we obviously preserve EFLAGS for user context, but for
kernel-kernel switches we do not seem to preserve it :-(

So I dug around the context switch code a little, and I think we lost it
here:

  0100301bfdf5 ("sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code")

Before that, x86_64 switch_to() read like (much simplified):

	asm volatile ( /* do RSP twiddle */
	  : /* output */
	  : /* input */
	  : "memory", "cc", .... "flags");

(see __EXTRA_CLOBBER)

Which I suppose means that GCC generates the PUSHF/POPF to preserve the
EFLAGS, since we mark those explicitly clobbered.

Before that:

  f05e798ad4c0 ("Disintegrate asm/system.h for X86")

We had explicit PUSHF / POPF in SAVE_CONTEXT / RESTORE_CONTEXT resp.

Now I cannot see how the current code preserves EFLAGS (if indeed it
does), and the changelog doesn't mention this change _AT_ALL_.


For a little bit of context; it turns out that user_access_begin() /
user_access_end() sets EFLAGS.AC and scheduling in between there wrecks
that because we're apparently not saving that anymore.

Now, I'm tempted to add the PUSHF / POPF right back because of this, but
first I suppose we need to figure out if that change was on purpose and
why that went missing from the Changelog.

So I dug around the context switch code a little, and I think we lost it
here:

  0100301bfdf5 ("sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code")

Before that, x86_64 switch_to() read like (much simplified):

	asm volatile ( /* do RSP twiddle */
	  : /* output */
	  : /* input */
	  : "memory", "cc", .... "flags");

(see __EXTRA_CLOBBER)

Which I suppose means that GCC generates the PUSHF/POPF to preserve the
EFLAGS, since we mark those explicitly clobbered.

Before that:

  f05e798ad4c0 ("Disintegrate asm/system.h for X86")

We had explicit PUSHF / POPF in SAVE_CONTEXT / RESTORE_CONTEXT resp.

Now I cannot see how the current code preserves EFLAGS (if indeed it

No, like pointed out elsewhere in this thread, anything that does
preempt_disable() is utterly broken with this.

Because at that point the IRQ return path doesn't reschedule but
preempt_enable() will, and that doesn't preserve EFLAGS again.

That's not enough, we'd have to teach preempt_disable(), but worse,
preempt_disable_notrace().

Anything that lands in ftrace, which _will_ use
preempt_disable_notrace(), will screw this thing up.

Ugh.  Consider your patch acked.  Do we need to backport this thing?  The problem can’t be too widespread or we would have heard of it before.

[PATCH] sched/x86: Save [ER]FLAGS on context switch

[Peter Zijlstra]

Possibly, just to be safe.

Yes, so far we've been lucky.

Subject: sched/x86: Save [ER]FLAGS on context switch
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Thu Feb 14 10:30:52 CET 2019

Effectively revert commit:

  2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")

Specifically because SMAP uses FLAGS.AC which invalidates the claim
that the kernel has clean flags.

In particular; while preemption from interrupt return is fine (the
IRET frame on the exception stack contains FLAGS) it breaks any code
that does synchonous scheduling, including preempt_enable().

This has become a significant issue ever since commit:

  5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")

provided for means of having 'normal' C code between STAC / CLAC,
exposing the FLAGS.AC state. So far this hasn't led to trouble,
however fix it before it comes apart.

Fixes: 5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")

[PATCH] sched/x86: Save [ER]FLAGS on context switch

Yes, so far we've been lucky.

Subject: sched/x86: Save [ER]FLAGS on context switch
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Thu Feb 14 10:30:52 CET 2019

Effectively revert commit:

  2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")

Specifically because SMAP uses FLAGS.AC which invalidates the claim
that the kernel has clean flags.

In particular; while preemption from interrupt return is fine (the
IRET frame on the exception stack contains FLAGS) it breaks any code
that does synchonous scheduling, including preempt_enable().

This has become a significant issue ever since commit:

  5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")

provided for means of having 'normal' C code between STAC / CLAC,
exposing the FLAGS.AC state. So far this hasn't led to trouble,
however fix it before it comes apart.

Fixes: 5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")

flags should be initialized in copy_thread_tls().  I think the new
stack is zeroed already, but it would be better to explicitly set it.

Ah indeed. I somehow misread that code and thought we got initialized
with a copy of current.

Something like the below, right?

Those are not valid flag values.

Can you popf them? Yes.

Do they make sense? No.

It has the IF flag clear, for example. Is that intentional? If it is,
it should likely be documented. Because IF clear means "interrupts
disabled". Are the places that load flags in irq disabled regions?
Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but shouldn't this be something
that is made explicit, rather than "oh, let's initialize to zero like
all the other registers we don't care about".

Because a zero initializer for eflags really is odd.

Uhmm. yeah, that's bonkers. We should have interrupts disabled here.
I'll go read up on the eflags and figure out what they _should_ be right
about there.

I misread (I'm forever confused about what way around IF goes), but you
said it right; IF=0 is interrupts disabled and we very much have that in
the middle of context switch.

(just for giggles I set IF for the initial flags value; and it comes
unstuck _real_ quick)

Now, EFLAGS bit 1 is supposedly always 1, but it really doesn't seem to
matter for POPF.

I went through the other flags, and aside from VIP/VIF (I've no clue),
they looks like 0 should be just fine.

Correct, it's "read as 1", you can try to write it and it doesn't matter.

So 0 is a perfectly valid initializer in the sense that it _works_, I
just want it to be something that was thought about, not just a random
"initialize to zero" without thinking.

Even just a comment about it would be fine. But it might also be good
to show that it's an explicit eflags value and just use
X86_EFLAGS_FIXED as the initializer.

This implies we invoke schedule -- a restricted operation (consider may_sleep) during execution of STAC-enabled code, but *not* as an exception or interrupt, since those preserve the flags.

I have serious concerns about this. This is more or less saying that we have left an unlimited gap and have had AC escape.

Does *anyone* see a need to allow this? I got a question at LPC from someone about this, and what they were trying to do once all the layers had been unwound was so far down the wrong track for a root problem that actually has a very simple solution.

Yes; by allowing normal C in between STAC and CLAC this is so.

Have you read the rest of the thread?

All it takes for this to explode is a call to a C function that has
tracing on it in between the user_access_begin() and user_access_end()
things. That is a _very_ easy thing to do.

Heck, GCC is allowed to generate that broken code compiling
lib/strnlen_user.c; it doesn't _have_ to inline do_strnlen_user (esp.
with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING), and making that a function call would
get us fentry hooks and ftrace and *BOOM*.

(Now, of course, its a static function with a single caller, and GCC
isn't _THAT_ stupid, but it could, if it wanted to)

Since the bar is _that_ low for mistakes, I figure we'd better fix it.

I believe this falls under "doctor, it hurts when I do that." And it hurts for
very good reasons. See below.

The question is what "fix it" means. I'm really concerned about AC escapes,
and everyone else should be, too.

For an issue specific to tracing, it would be more appropriate to do the
appropriate things in the tracing entry/exit than in schedule. Otherwise, we
don't want to silently paper over mistakes which could mean that we run a
large portion of the kernel without protection we thought we had.

In that sense, calling schedule() with AC set is in fact a great place to have
a WARN() or even BUG(), because such an event really could imply that the
kernel has been security compromised.

Does that make more sense?

The question is what "fix it" means. I'm really concerned about AC escapes,
and everyone else should be, too.

For an issue specific to tracing, it would be more appropriate to do the
appropriate things in the tracing entry/exit than in schedule. Otherwise, we
don't want to silently paper over mistakes which could mean that we run a
large portion of the kernel without protection we thought we had.

In that sense, calling schedule() with AC set is in fact a great place to have
a WARN() or even BUG(), because such an event really could imply that the
kernel has been security compromised.

Does that make more sense?

I do think that it might be the right thing to do to add some kind of
WARN_ON_ONCE() for AC being set in various can-reschedule situations.

We'd just have to abstract it sanely. I'm sure arm64 has the exact
same issue with PAN - maybe it saves properly, but the same "we
wouldn't want to go through the scheduler with PAN clear".

On x86, we might as well check DF at the same time as AC.

hpa is right, though — calling into tracing code with AC set is not really so good.  And calling schedule() (via preempt_enable() or whatever) is also bad because it runs all the scheduler code with AC on.  Admittedly, the scheduler is not *that* interesting of an attack surface.

Yes, but we don't really have a way to enforce that, as far as I'm aware.

The user_access_begin/end() is generic API, meaning any arch is free to
implement it. If they don't have the same hardware behaviour as
x86/arm64, it might be that their interrupt/exception entry code will
run with user_access open until they reach the entry code that closes it
(and entry code could potentially be a more interesting attack surface
than the scheduler). This could be the case of software emulated PAN on
arm/arm64 (although currently arm, non-64bit, doesn't have
user_access_begin/end() at the time).

So the whole "very small region" restriction sounds a bit
loose/arbitrary to me...

As of right now, we have the same issue on arm64 as on x86. We don't
currently save the PAN bit on task switch, but I have a patch to do that.

Unless we decide to go down the route of warning against uses of
schedule() inside.

As for the abstraction, I had this patch[1] that added another primitive
for the user_access API (although this might not be suited for x86 if
you also want to check DF). However, an issue that appears is where to
perform the check to cover enough ground.

Checking inside the schedule() code you only cover cases where things
have already gone wrong, and not the use of functions that are unsafe to
call inside a user_access region.

So I disagree.

Either we set AC with preempt disabled, and then we don't need an extra
warning, because we already have a warning about scheduling with
preemption disabled, or we accept that the fault handler can run.

I disagree; the basic rule is that if you're preemptible you must also
be able to schedule and vice-versa. These AC regions violate this.

And, like illustrated, it is _very_ easy to get all sorts inside that AC
crap.

It means that when we do schedule, the next task doesn't have AC set,
and when we schedule back, we'll restore our AC when we had it. Unlike
the current situation, where the next task will run with AC set.

IOW, it confines AC to the task context where it was set.

It is not specific to tracing, tracing is just one of the most trivial
and non-obvious ways to make it go splat.

There's lot of fairly innocent stuff that does preempt_disable() /
preempt_enable(). And just a warning in schedule() isn't sufficient,
you'd have to actually trigger a reschedule before you know your code is
bad.

And like I said; the invariant is: if you're preemptible you can
schedule and v.v.

Now, clearly you don't want to mark these whole regions as !preemptible,
because then you can also not take faults, but somehow you're not
worried about the whole fault handler, but you are worried about the
scheduler ?!? How does that work? The fault handler can touch a _ton_
more code. Heck, the fault handler can schedule.

So either pre-fault, and run the whole AC crap with preemption disabled
and retry, or accept that we have to schedule.

> Does that make more sense?

It appears to me you're going about it backwards.

It is not specific to tracing, tracing is just one of the most trivial
and non-obvious ways to make it go splat.

There's lot of fairly innocent stuff that does preempt_disable() /
preempt_enable(). And just a warning in schedule() isn't sufficient,
you'd have to actually trigger a reschedule before you know your code is
bad.

And like I said; the invariant is: if you're preemptible you can
schedule and v.v.

Now, clearly you don't want to mark these whole regions as !preemptible,
because then you can also not take faults, but somehow you're not
worried about the whole fault handler, but you are worried about the
scheduler ?!? How does that work? The fault handler can touch a _ton_
more code. Heck, the fault handler can schedule.

So either pre-fault, and run the whole AC crap with preemption disabled
and retry, or accept that we have to schedule.

It appears to me you're going about it backwards.

I'm not worried about the fault handler, because AC is always presented/disabled on exception entry; otherwise I would of course be very concerned.

To be clear: I'm not worried about the scheduler itself. I'm worried about how much code we have gone through to get there. Perhaps the scheduler itself is not the right point to probe for it, but we do need to catch things that have gone wrong, rather than just leaving the door wide open.

I would personally be far more comfortable saying you have to disable preemption in user access regions. It may be an unnecessary constraint for x86 and ARM64, but it is safe.

And Julien, yes, it is "somewhat arbitrary", but so are many engineering tradeoffs. Not everything has a very sharply definable line.

So how about you do a GCC plugin that verifies limits on code-gen
between user_access_begin/user_access_end() ?

 - No CALL/RET
   - implies user_access_end() happens
   - implies no fentry hooks
 - No __preempt_count frobbing
 - No tracepoints
 - ...

That way you put the burden on the special code, not on the rest of the
kernel.

I think you'll still hate this, but could we not disable preemption during
the uaccess-enabled region, re-enabling it on the fault path after we've
toggled uaccess off and disable it again when we return back to the
uaccess-enabled region? Doesn't help with tracing, but it should at least
handle the common case.

There is a worse problem with this, I still realize: this would mean blocking
preemption across what could possibly be a *very* large copy_from_user(), for
example.

Exceptions *have* to handle this; there is no way around it. Perhaps the
scheduler isn't the right place to put these kinds of asserts, either.

Now, __fentry__ is kind of a special beast; in some ways it is an "exception
implemented as a function call"; on x86 one could even consider using an INT
instruction in order to reduce the NOP footprint in the unarmed case.  Nor is
__fentry__ a C function; it has far more of an exception-like ABI.
*Regardless* of what else we do, I believe __fentry__ ought to
save/disable/restore AC, just like an exception does.

The idea of using s/a gcc plugin/objtool/ for this isn't really a bad idea.
Obviously the general problem is undecidable :) but the enforcement of some
simple, fairly draconian rules ("as tight as possible, but no tighter")
shouldn't be a huge problem.

An actual gcc plugin -- which would probably be quite complex -- could make
gcc itself aware of user space accesses and be able to rearrange them to
minimize STAC/CLAC and avoid kernel-space accesses inside those brackets.

Finally, of course, there is the option of simply outlawing this practice as a
matter of policy and require that all structures be accessed through a limited
set of APIs. As I recall, the number of places where there were
performance-critical regions which could not use the normal accessors are
fairly small (signal frames being the main one.) Doing bulk copy to/from
kernel memory and then accessing them from there would have some performance
cost, but would eliminate the need for this complexity entirely.

Yes, that's a good point. And I guess a userspace program could forcibly
trigger the kernel into a large copy_from/to_user(), knowingly disabling
preemption.

I don't know how bad this could get.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean with "Exceptions *have* to
handle this". Isn't the fact that the AC/PAN flags gets saved on
exception entry and set back to "user accesses disabled" already
handling it? Or are you referring to something else?

So far my understanding is that the exception/interrupt case is fine.
The worrying case is what gets called in the user access regions
(schedule(), preempt_enable(), tracing...).

Did I get lost somewhere?

That does make sense to me. However it doesn't solve the issue of
calling (or preventing to call) some function that rescheds.

Not sure I get this. The data that is retrieved from/stored user space
is generally obtained from/saved into kernel-space address. And when you
start the user_access_begin() it means you plan on doing a bunch of user
access, so I wouldn't expect to be able to batch everything into registers.

IMNSHO any call inside a AC region is a bug lurking round the corner. The
only thing which is tolerable is an exception of some sort.

Enforce that with objtool. End of story.

Not quite that simple.

There are some use cases where you really do want a call - albeit to
special functions - inside the AC region.

The prime example of this is likely "filldir()" in fs/readdir.c, which
is actually somewhat important for some loads (eg samba).

And the whole AC thing made it horribly horribly slow because readdir
is one of those things that doesn't just copy one value (or one
structure) to user space, but writes several different things.

Kind of like signal frame setup does.

You may not realize that right now signal frame setup *does* actually
do a call with AC set. See ia32_setup_rt_frame() that does

        put_user_try {
...
                compat_save_altstack_ex(&frame->uc.uc_stack, regs->sp);
...
        } put_user_catch(err);

is a macro, but inside that macro is a call to sas_ss_reset().

Now, that is an inline function, so it hopefully doesn't actually
cause a call. But it's "only" an inline function, not "always_inline".
We did already have (and I rejected, for now) patches that made those
inlines not very strong...

[ Side note: currently signal frame setup uses the absolutely
*disgusting* put_user_ex() thing, but that's actually what
unsafe_put_user() was designed for. I just never got around to getting
rid of the nasty hot mess of put_user_ex() ]

Anyway, while signal frame setup just writes individual values,
"filldir()" does *both* several individual values _and_ does a
copy_to_user().

And it's that "copy_to_user()" that I want to eventually change to a
"unsafe_copy_to_user()", along with making the individual values be
written with unsafe_put_user().

Right now "filldir()" messes with AC a total of *six* times. It sets
four field values, and then does a "copy_to_user()", all of which
set/clear AC right now. It's wasting hundreds of cycles on this,
because AC is so slow to set/clear.

If AC was cheap, this wouldn't be much of an issue. But AC is really
really expensive. I think it's microcode and serializes the pipeline
or something.

Anyway. We already have a possible call site, and there are good
reasons for future ones too. But they are hopefully all very
controlled.

That one does indeed not generate a call, but:

That one does indeed not generate a call, but:

arch/x86/ia32/ia32_signal.o: warning: objtool: ia32_restore_sigcontext()+0x38: call to native_load_gs_index() with AC set

I've yet to look at detectoring __preempt_count mucking.

I agree, that a function which is doing the actual copy should be callable,
but random other functions? NO!

The problem is that once you open that can of worms the people who think
their problem is special will come around and do

      begin()
      copy_to_user_unsafe(uptr, collect_data())
      end()

just because they can. That's the stuff, I'm worried about, not the well
defined copy_to/from_user() invocation. We can deal with that and make sure
that it's safe even with tracing and annotate with some special magic. It's
simpler to find and check a new '__safe_inside_ac' annotation than chasing
randomly added code within a gazillion of begin/end sections.

Thanks,

[RFC][PATCH] objtool: STAC/CLAC validation

> But correct :)

So find the below patch -- which spotted fail in ptrace.c

It has an AC_SAFE(func) annotation which allows marking specific
functions as safe to call. The patch includes 2 instances which were
required to make arch/x86 'build':

  arch/x86/ia32/ia32_signal.o: warning: objtool: ia32_restore_sigcontext()+0x3d: call to native_load_gs_index() with AC set
  arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.o: warning: objtool: genregs_get()+0x8e: call to getreg() with AC set

It also screams (provided one has CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACE=y) about the
lack of notrace annotations on functions marked AC_SAFE():

  arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.o: warning: objtool: getreg()+0x0: call to __fentry__() with AC set

It builds arch/x86 relatively clean; it only complains about some
redundant CLACs in entry_64.S because it doesn't understand interrupts
and I've not bothered creating an annotation for them yet.

  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x4d: redundant CLAC
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x5a: redundant CLAC
  ...
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0xb1: redundant CLAC

Also, I realized we don't need special annotations for preempt_count;
preempt_disable() emits a CALL instruction which should readily trigger
the warnings added here.

The VDSO thing is a bit of a hack, but I couldn't quickly find anything
better.

Comments?

[RFC][PATCH] objtool: STAC/CLAC validation

So find the below patch -- which spotted fail in ptrace.c

It has an AC_SAFE(func) annotation which allows marking specific
functions as safe to call. The patch includes 2 instances which were
required to make arch/x86 'build':

  arch/x86/ia32/ia32_signal.o: warning: objtool: ia32_restore_sigcontext()+0x3d: call to native_load_gs_index() with AC set
  arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.o: warning: objtool: genregs_get()+0x8e: call to getreg() with AC set

It also screams (provided one has CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACE=y) about the
lack of notrace annotations on functions marked AC_SAFE():

  arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.o: warning: objtool: getreg()+0x0: call to __fentry__() with AC set

It builds arch/x86 relatively clean; it only complains about some
redundant CLACs in entry_64.S because it doesn't understand interrupts
and I've not bothered creating an annotation for them yet.

  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x4d: redundant CLAC
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x5a: redundant CLAC
  ...
  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0xb1: redundant CLAC

Also, I realized we don't need special annotations for preempt_count;
preempt_disable() emits a CALL instruction which should readily trigger
the warnings added here.

The VDSO thing is a bit of a hack, but I couldn't quickly find anything
better.

Comments?

Looks sane enough to me.

Can you make it do DF too while at it? I really think AC and DF are
the same in this context. If you call an arbitrary function with DF
set, things will very quickly go sideways (even if it might work in
practice as long as the function just doesn't do a memcpy or similar)

I like it.

Objtool could also detect CLAC-STAC or STAC-CLAC sequences without memory operations and remove them; don't know how often that happens, but I know it *does* happen.

Objtool doesn't know about memops; that'd be a lot of work. Also,
objtool doesn't actually rewrite the text, at best it could warn about
such occurences.

It doesn't have to understand the contents of the memop, but it seems that the presence of a modrm with mode ≠ 3 should be plenty. It needs to know that much in order to know the length of instructions anyway. For extra credit, ignore LEA or hinting instructions.

A little something like so then?

Seems correct. Not sure you want to go fix that though. Let me know if
you want more output.

It doesn't even have to change the text per se, just nullify the altinstr.

Does objtool understand altinstr?  If it understands that this is an
altinstr associated with a not-actually-a-fuction (i.e. END not
ENDPROC) piece of code, it could suppress this warning.

This takes the address and could plausibly suppress some optimizations.

Are we okay with annotating function *declarations* in a way that
their addresses get taken whenever the declaration is processed?  It
would be nice if we could avoid this.

I'm wondering if we can just change the code that does getreg() and
load_gs_index() so it doesn't do it with AC set.  Also, what about
paravirt kernels?  They'll call into PV code for load_gs_index() with
AC set.

Yep, otherwise it would've never found any of the STAC/CLAC instructions
to begin with, they're all alternatives. The emitted code is all NOPs.

Using readelf on entry_64.o the symbol type appears to be STT_NOTYPE for
these 'functions', so yes, I can try and ignore this warning for those.

Fixing that code would be fine; but we need that annotation regardless,
read Linus' email a little further back, he wants things like
copy_{to,from}_user_unsafe().

Those really would need to be marked AC-safe, there's no inlining that.

That said, yes these annotations _suck_. But it's what we had and works,
I'm just copying it (from STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD).

That said; maybe we can do something like:

#define AC_SAFE(func)						\
	asm (".pushsection .discard.ac_safe_sym\n\t"		\
	     "999: .ascii \"" #func "\"\n\t"			\
	     ".popsection\n\t"					\
	     ".pushsection .discard.ac_safe\n\t"		\
	     _ASM_PTR " 999b\n\t"				\
	     ".popsection")

I just don't have a clue on how to read that in objtool; weak elf foo.
I'll see if I can make it work.

Fixed all that. Should probably also convert that NON_STANDARD stuff to
this new shiny thing.

Retained the ptrace muck because it's a nice test case, your patch is
obviously a better fix there.

Haven't bothered looking at alternatives yet, this is a
defconfig+tracing build.

Weekend now.

Fixed all that. Should probably also convert that NON_STANDARD stuff to
this new shiny thing.

Haven't bothered looking at alternatives yet, this is a
defconfig+tracing build.

Paravirt can go bugger off. There's no sane way to fix that.

Luckily the load_gs_index() thing is part of the paravirt me harder crap
and so nobody sane should ever hit that.

I don't fully understand that code at all; I also have no clue why GS
has paravirt bits on but the other segments do not. But it looks like we
want to do that RELOAD_SEG() crap under SMAP because of the GET_SEG() ->
get_user_ex() thing.

Anyway, I only see 3 options here:

 1) live with the paravirt me harder builds complaining
 2) exclude the AC validation from the paravirt me harder builds
 3) rewrite this code to no need that stupid call in the first place


2 seems like an exceptionally bad ideal, 3 would need someone that
understands this, so for now I'll pick 1 :-)


*thought*... we could delay the actual set_user_seg() thing until after
the get_user_catch(), would that work?

I would call this pretty horrible. How about we do it without macros? :)

But yes, deferring the segment load until after the read seems fine to me. Frankly, we could also just copy_from_user the whole thing up front — thus code is not really a serious fast path.

Um, wait a moment.  You didn't find an oddity in ptrace.c.  You found
a giant freaking error in uaccess.h.

Am I missing something?  How are there not zillions of instances of
this that your patch ought to catch?  Or is genregs_get() really the
only example?

I think you're overly worried.

AC doesn't protect against "large source of exploits". If it did, then
all CPU's before Broadwell would be insecure. They aren't. They'd
better not be, considering that there's a _lot_ of Xeon machines out
there based on older microarchitectures. I think some of them might
even be reasonably current (eg Xeon E7v3 isn't _that_ old, and is
Haswell-based, and doesn't have SMAP afaik).

SMAP is a great debugging and development aid, and makes sure that
developers - who hopefully run primarily on modern platforms - don't
write code that just accesses user space directly (because with SMAP,
it won't work).

And yes, SMAP can limit the effect of kernel bugs, and turn something
that would otherwise be a security issue into "just a bug".

But running with AC on isn't a security issue in itself - it just
makes SMAP slightly less powerful. The biggest issue of the whole "AC
doesn't get saved/redstored" is actually the *reverse* case, where a
preemption event could then cause a process that had AC on to be
scheduled away, then AC would stay on for some time, but then we might
schedule back with AC _clear_, and now you'd have a non-working user
access, and a possible DoS attack as a result because you returned
EFAULT to a system call that was perfectly fine.

See? It's not so much "AC stays on" that is a "sky is falling" issue,
it's actually "AC also gets turned off randomly" that actually has
real and immediate effects. "AC on" is unfortunate and not great,
don't get me wrong, but it's definitely not the end of the world.
Particularly not for short sequences.

I agree that your patch is good, and should be applied. Mind writing
up a changelog and committing it to -tip?

I really do think that it's very unusual to do "get/put_user()" with
complicated value arguments. So while your patch is obviously the
right thing to do, I really don't think this is a huge worry, or all
_that_ surprising that this issue apparently found just a single case
of a function call.

With all that said, I didn't even react to this part of PeterZ's
patch, but it's a good call, and I think it's also a great validation
of the objtool approach to validating AC. So cheers for that!

What I meant was: a potentially large grab bag of ways to help turn a
bug into an exploit.

I don't have commit access :)  But I shall email it out once I test it a bit.

Well, apparently there's only one place, and that one looks pretty harmless.

Of course, I don't think PeterZ said what his config was. Maybe it was
a very minimal config and only found that one case because all the
truly scary cases were configured out ;)

Btw, looking at it, with that change every user of __put_user_size()
now passes in the properly type-cast value in 'x'.

Which means that you could remove the odd typecast in the 8-byte case:

        case 8:                                                         \
                __put_user_goto_u64((__typeof__(*ptr))(x), ptr, label); \

and make it match all the other cases:

        case 8:                                                         \
                __put_user_goto_u64(x, ptr, label);                     \

but that's just from looking at the patch, and maybe I'm missing something.

I haven't looked at all the details. But could the annotation be called
UACCESS_SAFE() (and corresponding naming in the objtool checks)? Since
this is not an x86 only issue and the AC flags only exists for x86.

I haven't looked at all the details. But could the annotation be called
UACCESS_SAFE() (and corresponding naming in the objtool checks)? Since
this is not an x86 only issue and the AC flags only exists for x86.

I don't think it's legitimate to call copy_{to,from}_user() inside a
user_access_{begin,end} region. You'd need to add some unsafe variants,
which could periodically disable uaccess and call cond_resched() inside
the loop to avoid the problem you're eluding to.

For existing callers of copy_{to,from}_user(), there's no issue as they
don't call into the scheduler during the copy operation. Exceptions are
handled fine by the code in mainline today.

GCC plugins are a cool idea, but I'm just a bit nervous about relying on
them for things like this.

Definitely not safe. On x86 they do CLAC and everything breaks.

[PATCH v2] sched/x86: Save [ER]FLAGS on context switch

[Peter Zijlstra]

Subject: sched/x86: Save [ER]FLAGS on context switch
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Thu Feb 14 10:30:52 CET 2019

Effectively reverts commit:

  2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")

Specifically because SMAP uses FLAGS.AC which invalidates the claim
that the kernel has clean flags.

In particular; while preemption from interrupt return is fine (the
IRET frame on the exception stack contains FLAGS) it breaks any code
that does synchonous scheduling, including preempt_enable().

This has become a significant issue ever since commit:

  5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses")

provided for means of having 'normal' C code between STAC / CLAC,
exposing the FLAGS.AC state. So far this hasn't led to trouble,
however fix it before it comes apart.

No, it only means that gcc won't keep conditionals in the flags over
the asm. It doesn't make gcc save anything.

The push/pop got removed elsewhere as Andy says.

That said, I do agree that it's probably a good idea to save/restore
flags anyway when scheduling. It's not just AC, actually, now that I
look at it again I worry a bit about DF too.

We have the rule that we run with DF clear in the kernel, and all the
kernel entry points do clear it properly (so that memcpy etc don't
need to). But there are a few places that set DF temporarily because
they do something odd (backwards memmove), and those atcually have the
*exact* same issue as stac/clac has: it's ok to take a trap or
interrupt, and schedule due to that (because the trap/irq will clear
DF), but it would be a horrible bug to have a synchronous scheduling
point there.

Arguably the DF issue really isn't even remotely likely to actually be
a real issue (the code that sets DF really is very special and should
never do any kind of preemption), but it's conceptually quite
similar..

Of course, if DF is ever set, and we end up calling any C code at all,
I guess it would already be a huge problem. If the C code then does
memcpy or something, it would corrupt things quite badly.

So I guess save/restore isn't going to save us wrt DF. If we get
anywhere close to the scheduler with the DF bit set, we've already
lost.

But I still do kind of prefer saving flags. We have other sticky state
in there too, although none of it matters in the kernel currently (eg
iopl etc - only matters in user space, and user space will always
reload eflags on return).

I queued the first two patches for 5.1. It would be nice to upstream the
other two but patch 3 needs an ack from (or merged by) the scheduler
folk.
