During signal entry, the kernel pushes data onto the normal userspace
stack. On x86, the data pushed onto the user stack includes XSAVE state,
which has grown over time as new features and larger registers have been
added to the architecture.

MINSIGSTKSZ is a constant provided in the kernel signal.h headers and
typically distributed in lib-dev(el) packages, e.g. [1]. Its value is
compiled into programs and is part of the user/kernel ABI. The MINSIGSTKSZ
constant indicates to userspace how much data the kernel expects to push on
the user stack, [2][3].

However, this constant is much too small and does not reflect recent
additions to the architecture. For instance, when AVX-512 states are in
use, the signal frame size can be 3.5KB while MINSIGSTKSZ remains 2KB.

The bug report [4] explains this as an ABI issue. The small MINSIGSTKSZ can
cause user stack overflow when delivering a signal.

In this series, we suggest a couple of things:
1. Provide a variable minimum stack size to userspace, as a similar
   approach to [5].
2. Avoid using a too-small alternate stack.

Changes from v7 [12]:
* Improved the overflow check code. (Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov)
* Moved the "Fixes:" tag and the bugzilla link (patch 5 -> patch 3).

Changes from v6 [11]:
* Updated and fixed the documentation. (Borislav Petkov)
* Revised the AT_MINSIGSTKSZ comment. (Borislav Petkov)

Changes form v5 [10]:
* Fixed the overflow detection. (Andy Lutomirski)
* Reverted the AT_MINSIGSTKSZ removal on arm64. (Dave Martin)
* Added a documentation about the x86 AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.
* Supported the existing sigaltstack test to use the new aux vector.

Changes from v4 [9]:
* Moved the aux vector define to the generic header. (Carlos O'Donell)

Changes from v3 [8]:
* Updated the changelog. (Borislav Petkov)
* Revised the test messages again. (Borislav Petkov)

Changes from v2 [7]:
* Simplified the sigaltstack overflow prevention. (Jann Horn)
* Renamed fpstate size helper with cleanup. (Borislav Petkov)
* Cleaned up the signframe struct size defines. (Borislav Petkov)
* Revised the selftest messages. (Borislav Petkov)
* Revised a changelog. (Borislav Petkov)

Changes from v1 [6]:
* Took stack alignment into account for sigframe size. (Dave Martin)

Define the AT_MINSIGSTKSZ in generic Linux. It is already used as generic
ABI in glibc's generic elf.h, and this define will prevent future namespace
conflicts. In particular, x86 is also using this generic definition.

Signal frames do not have a fixed format and can vary in size when a number
of things change: support XSAVE features, 32 vs. 64-bit apps. Add the code
to support a runtime method for userspace to dynamically discover how large
a signal stack needs to be.

Introduce a new variable, max_frame_size, and helper functions for the
calculation to be used in a new user interface. Set max_frame_size to a
system-wide worst-case value, instead of storing multiple app-specific
values.

Historically, signal.h defines MINSIGSTKSZ (2KB) and SIGSTKSZ (8KB), for
use by all architectures with sigaltstack(2). Over time, the hardware state
size grew, but these constants did not evolve. Today, literal use of these
constants on several architectures may result in signal stack overflow, and
thus user data corruption.

A few years ago, the ARM team addressed this issue by establishing
getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ). This enables the kernel to supply at runtime
value that is an appropriate replacement on the current and future
hardware.

Add getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ) support to x86, analogous to the support
added for ARM in commit 94b07c1f8c39 ("arm64: signal: Report signal frame
size to userspace via auxv").

Also, include a documentation to describe x86-specific auxiliary vectors.

+AT_SYSINFO is used for locating the vsyscall entry point.  It is not
+exported on 64-bit mode.
+
+AT_SYSINFO_EHDR is the start address of the page containing the vDSO.
+
+AT_MINSIGSTKSZ denotes the minimum stack size required by the kernel to
+deliver a signal to user-space.  AT_MINSIGSTKSZ comprehends the space
+consumed by the kernel to accommodate the user context for the current
+hardware configuration.  It does not comprehend subsequent user-space stack
+consumption, which must be added by the user.  (e.g. Above, user-space adds
+SIGSTKSZ to AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.)

The SIGSTKSZ constant may not represent enough stack size in some
architectures as the hardware state size grows.

Use getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ) to increase the stack size.

The kernel pushes context on to the userspace stack to prepare for the
user's signal handler. When the user has supplied an alternate signal
stack, via sigaltstack(2), it is easy for the kernel to verify that the
stack size is sufficient for the current hardware context.

Check if writing the hardware context to the alternate stack will exceed
it's size. If yes, then instead of corrupting user-data and proceeding with
the original signal handler, an immediate SIGSEGV signal is delivered.

Refactor the stack pointer check code from on_sig_stack() and use the new
helper.

While the kernel allows new source code to discover and use a sufficient
alternate signal stack size, this check is still necessary to protect
binaries with insufficient alternate signal stack size from data
corruption.

Those don't look different enough.

Boris pointed out the relevant notes before [1]. I think "unpredictable
results" is a somewhat vague statement but process termination is unavoidable
in this situation.

In the thread [1], a new signal number was discussed for the signal delivery
failure, but my takeaway is this SIGSEGV is still recognizable.

FWIW, Len summarized other possible approaches as well [2].

The difference is on the SS_AUTODISARM flag check.  This refactoring was
suggested as on_sig_stack() brought confusion [3].

Let's see...
I use an on-stack buffer for the alternate stack and then setup
siglongjmp() to return back from whatever ran out of stack space
back to the processing loop.

So my attempts to trap over-deep recursion cause the main stack
to get corrupted - this is a normal stack overwrite that might
be exploitable!

Alternatively I used malloc() and we have a potentially exploitable
heap overrun.

The only thing the kernel can do is to immediately kill the process
(possibly with a core dump).
Since signals can get nested the kernel needs to ensure there
is a reasonably amount of space left after the signal info is
written to the alternate stack.

I was just confused by the #ifdef.
Whether %sp points to the last item or the next space is actually
independent of the stack direction.
A stack might usually use pre-decrement and post-increment but it
doesn't have to.
The stack pointer can't be right at one end of the alt-stack
area (because that is the address you'd use when you switch to it),
and if you are any where near the other end you are hosed.
So a common test:
	return (unsigned long)(sp - current->sas_ss_sp) < current->sas_ss_size;
will always work.

It isn't as though the stack pointer should be anywhere else
other than the 'real' thread stack.

I guess we want

	pr_info("max sigframe size: %lu\n", max_frame_size);

here so that we can keep an eye on how much this becomes, in practice.

Thx.

So I did play with this more and modified
tools/testing/selftests/sigaltstack/sas.c, see diff at the end. It uses
MINSIGSTKSZ as the alt stack size and with it, sas.c does:

# [NOTE]        the stack size is 2048, AT_MINSIGSTKSZ: 3632
TAP version 13
1..3
ok 1 Initial sigaltstack state was SS_DISABLE
# sstack: 0x7fdc2cbf1000, ss_size: 2048
# [NOTE]        sigaltstack success
# [NOTE]        Will mmap user stack
# [NOTE]        Will getcontext
# [NOTE]        Will makecontext
# [NOTE]        Will raise SIGUSR1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and dmesg has:

[ 2245.641230] signal: get_sigframe: nested_altstack: 0, sp: 0x7ffe50a4d9d0, ka->sa.sa_flags: 0xc000004
[ 2245.641240] signal: get_sigframe: SA_ONSTACK, sas_ss_flags(sp): 0x0
[ 2245.641243] signal: get_sigframe: sp: 0x7fdc2cbf1800, entering_altstack
[ 2245.641245] signal: get_sigframe: nested_altstack: 0, entering_altstack: 1, __on_sig_stack: 0

Those are just debugging stuff, ignore them.

[ 2245.641249] signal: sas[8890] overflowed sigaltstack

So we do detect those overflows now.

I clumsily tried to register a SIGSEGV handler with

        act.sa_sigaction = my_sigsegv;
        sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, NULL);

but that doesn't fire - task gets killed. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Since the altstack is already overflowed, perhaps set the flag like this -- not
using it to get the handler:

	act.sa_sigaction = my_sigsegv;
+	act.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
	sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, NULL);

FWIW, I think this is just a workaround for this case; in practice, altstack is
rather a backup for normal stack corruption.

Thanks,
Chang

That's the intended usage, but it's not limited to that and there exists
creative (ab)use of sigaltstack beyond catching the overflow of the
regular stack.

Right, with the above sa_flags setting (SA_ONSTACK removed) it does run the
SIGSEGV handler:

# [NOTE]        the stack size is 2048, AT_MINSIGSTKSZ: 3632
TAP version 13
1..3
ok 1 Initial sigaltstack state was SS_DISABLE
# sstack: 0x7f4e2e4d1000, ss_size: 2048
# [NOTE]        sigaltstack success
# [NOTE]        Will mmap user stack
# [NOTE]        Will getcontext
# [NOTE]        Will makecontext
# [NOTE]        Will raise SIGUSR1
# [NOTE]        signal SEGV
^^^^^^^^^^^

# [NOTE]        Will sigaltstack
ok 2 sigaltstack is still SS_AUTODISARM after signal
# Planned tests != run tests (3 != 2)
# Totals: pass:2 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

and exits normally. dmesg has:

[220514.661048] signal: get_sigframe: nested_altstack: 0, sp: 0x7ffc2846bca0, ka->sa.sa_flags: 0xc000004
[220514.661058] signal: get_sigframe: SA_ONSTACK, sas_ss_flags(sp): 0x0
[220514.661061] signal: get_sigframe: sp: 0x7f4e2e4d1800, entering_altstack
[220514.661064] signal: get_sigframe: nested_altstack: 0, entering_altstack: 1, __on_sig_stack: 0
[220514.661067] signal: sas[77819] overflowed sigaltstack

so at least we've warned that we've overflowed the sigaltstack.

[220514.661072] signal: get_sigframe: nested_altstack: 0, sp: 0x7ffc2846bca0, ka->sa.sa_flags: 0x4000004
[220514.661075] signal: get_sigframe: nested_altstack: 0, entering_altstack: 0, __on_sig_stack: 0

So I'm not even going to think about claiming that this is taking care
of the other productive ways of (ab)using the sigaltstack contraption
but from where I'm standing, it is not making it worse, AFAICT.

Thx.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, this hunk can be made better like that. But I
would make this change as pure refactoring. Perhaps, follow up after this
series.
