[PATCH 5.10] overflow.h: use new generic division helpers to avoid / operator

[PATCH 5.10] overflow.h: use new generic division helpers to avoid / operator

[Nick Desaulniers]

commit fad7cd3310db ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in
__nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in
commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and
add fallback code")

ERROR: modpost: "__divdi3" [drivers/block/nbd.ko] undefined!

As Stephen Rothwell notes:
  The added check_mul_overflow() call is being passed 64 bit values.
  COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW is not set for this build (see
  include/linux/overflow.h).

Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a
multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow,
__signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when
!COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW.  This is problematic for 64b
operands on 32b hosts.

This was fixed upstream by
commit 76ae847497bc ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of
GCC to 5.1")
which is not suitable to be backported to stable; I didn't have this
patch ready in time.

This kind of generic meta-programming in C and my lack of experience in
doing so makes me very uncomfortable (and slightly ashamed) to send
this. I would appreciate careful review and feedback. I would appreciate
if Naresh can test this with GCC 4.9, which I don't have handy.

Linus also suggested I look into the use of _Generic; I haven't
evaluated that approach yet, but I felt like posting this early for
feedback.

You can save a bit of typing using __same_type(dividend, s64) - it's a
nice property of typeof() that it's idempotent when applied to a type
name. _Generic would probably also do, but I don't think it would save
that much, if anything, here.

I had actually forgotten what horrors lay hidden in these fallback
macros, I just knew they needed a wooden stake sooner or later. Now you
made me look at this right before bedtime :(

So, I'd sleep a little better if we got the 64 bit tests commented back
in in test_overflow.c, and [assuming that the above would actually make
that file build with gcc 4.9] that patch also backported to 5.10, so we
had some confidence that the whole house of cards is actually solid.

[PATCH v2] overflow.h: use new generic division helpers to avoid / operator

[Nick Desaulniers]

commit fad7cd3310db ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in
__nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in
commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and
add fallback code")

ERROR: modpost: "__divdi3" [drivers/block/nbd.ko] undefined!

As Stephen Rothwell notes:
  The added check_mul_overflow() call is being passed 64 bit values.
  COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW is not set for this build (see
  include/linux/overflow.h).

Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a
multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow,
__signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when
!COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW.  This is problematic for 64b
operands on 32b hosts.

This was fixed upstream by
commit 76ae847497bc ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of
GCC to 5.1")
which is not suitable to be backported to stable; I didn't have this
patch ready in time.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Change the BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG's to check the divisor! Not the dividend!
* Change __builtin_choose_expr/__builtin_constant_p soup to _Generic as
  per Linus.
* Add Linus' Suggested-by.
* use __ prefixes on new macros.
* add parens around use of macro parameters.
* realign trailing \.

Note to Rasmus: I did not include comments on the usage. I don't think
we really intend for folks to be using these, much less so in -stable.

[PATCH v2] overflow.h: use new generic division helpers to avoid / operator

[Nick Desaulniers]

commit fad7cd3310db ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in
__nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in
commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and
add fallback code")

ERROR: modpost: "__divdi3" [drivers/block/nbd.ko] undefined!

As Stephen Rothwell notes:
  The added check_mul_overflow() call is being passed 64 bit values.
  COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW is not set for this build (see
  include/linux/overflow.h).

Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a
multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow,
__signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when
!COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW.  This is problematic for 64b
operands on 32b hosts.

This was fixed upstream by
commit 76ae847497bc ("Documentation: raise minimum supported version of
GCC to 5.1")
which is not suitable to be backported to stable; I didn't have this
patch ready in time.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Change the BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG's to check the divisor! Not the dividend!
* Change __builtin_choose_expr/__builtin_constant_p soup to _Generic as
  per Linus.
* Add Linus' Suggested-by.
* use __ prefixes on new macros.
* add parens around use of macro parameters.
* realign trailing \.

Note to Rasmus: I did not include comments on the usage. I don't think
we really intend for folks to be using these, much less so in -stable.

Why is this needed in the 5.10.y tree?  I see that commit fad7cd3310db
("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in __nbd_ioctl()") is planned
to go into 5.14.y and 5.13.y, but no further back at the moment.

Ah, sorry, should I rebase this on 5.14.y to make it easier to apply?

As to why fix this in earlier trees, the patch that introduced the
issue technically is f0907827a8a9, which landed in v4.18-rc1.
fad7cd3310db may have exposed it; without fad7cd3310db maybe there are
no other problematic callers today, BUT there might be more in the
future.  I'd rather fix this properly, so that we can fearlessly
backport more patches in the future, and encourage the use of the
check_mul_overflow() helpers further in the kernel.


Also, the reason why I'm looking at this at all is that clang versions
earlier than 14 actually do not have
COMPLER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW. __builtin_mul_overflow() can't
be used on 32b targets with 64b operands.  As you recall, this is
causing a breakage for Android:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/kernel/common/+/1820696.
Here's the long thread tracking the issue
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1438.

To fix this, I'd like to fix the underlying problem, then break up
COMPLER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW to differentiate when
__builtin_mul_overflow() can't be used. Or I need to add a missing
symbol from compiler-rt to the kernel.  But first I need the fallback
helpers for !COMPLER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW to actually work
(ie. link).

If the only caller today is 5.13.y and newer, then 5.13.y and 5.14.y
are broken when compiling 32b targets with released versions of clang.
Folks can work around it by disabling BLK_DEV_NBD, but it is possible
to fix this.  This is just the Nth minus one yak to shave.


Also, Rasmus asked me to test this, which I did and it LGTM (I think,
I don't know what self test failure looks like).
I downloaded arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc for gcc-4.9 from kernel.org:
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/4.9.0/x86_64-gcc-4.9.0-nolibc_arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi.tar.xz

I enabled CONFIG_TEST_OVERFLOW. I comment out the `BITS_PER_LONG ==
64` guards. I hacked up scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt.co that it could build.
I applied this patch to stable 5.10.y, then booted it in QEMU:
+ timeout --foreground 3m unbuffer qemu-system-arm -initrd

Ok, then it looks like I need patches for 4.19, 5.4, 5.10 and 5.14 for
this (5.13 if you really want, it's only going to be alive for a few
more days so maybe don't worry...)

Hmm.

Another thing that might be worth doing is to just say "don't do that".

IOW, don't do silly overflow checks with 64-bit things on 32-bit architectures.

Apparently the first and only use case of this is the ndb code, and
the fact is, that ndb code is just being truly horrendously stupid.

That 'blksize' thing shouldn't be a blocksize, it should be a
blockshift instead. The code to set blksize already expressly verifies
that it's a power-of-2, and less or equial to PAGE_SIZE so this:

        loff_t blksize;

is just plain silly. Doubly silly. Why is it a 'loff_t'? It should
never have been a loff_t in the first place, and honestly, it really
should have been a shift count that fits in a few bits.

All this pain could have been trivially avoided with just people
writing better code, knowing that multiplies and divides are
expensive, and that shift counts are small and cheap.

IOW, maybe the fix is just this attached trivial patch.

I didn't bother to change the order of the 'struct ndb_config'
structure. It would pack better if you put the (now 32-bit)
blksize_bits field next to the 'atomic_t' field, I think. But I wanted
to just see how a minimal patch looks.

I did make the debugfs interface reflect the change to blocksize_bits,
so this is visible in user space. But it's debugfs.

If people care, it could be made to use a DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE()
function the way it already does for 'flags', so that's not a
fundamental issue, I just didn't bother.

Hmm?

Btw, I really think more of the block layer should perhaps think about
use bit shifts more, not expanded values.  Can things like the queue
'discard_alignment' really be non-powers-of-two?

to just see how a minimal patch looks.

I did make the debugfs interface reflect the change to blocksize_bits,
so this is visible in user space. But it's debugfs.

If people care, it could be made to use a DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE()
function the way it already does for 'flags', so that's not a
fundamental issue, I just didn't bother.

Hmm?

Btw, I really think more of the block layer should perhaps think about
use bit shifts more, not expanded values.  Can things like the queue
'discard_alignment' really be non-powers-of-two?

Any issues passing an loff_t (aka long long) to __ffs which expects an
unsigned long for ilp32 targets? (I hate the whole family of
ffs()...why did ffs() ever accept just an int?!)

Any issues modifying the sysfs interface? Perhaps something in
userspace relies on parsing those strings?

Other than that LGTM, and I like your new overflow check. :)

FWIW, it's probably better to avoid open-coding the check. There are

No.

We literally _just_ checked that the value is a power-of-two, and that
it's in the range [1024, PAGE_SIZE].

There was never anything "loff_t" about bitmask at any point.

> Any issues modifying the sysfs interface? Perhaps something in

See my comment about how it could use DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE() to
always show the bits as a value.

But it's not even sysfs. It's debugfs. So nobody _should_ have relied
on any of this anyway.

Of course, "should have" is just a dream world - but the point is that
if somebody complains, it's very fixable.

I actually looked for them.

But I only did so with a grep for "check_shift_overflow".

Which didn't find anything.

I didn't think anybody would call a shift overflow function "shl",
since a right-shift by definition cannot overflow.

But no complaints about using the oddly named overflow function,
though - it makes it more obvious that the patch is purely about
changing 'blksize' to use a bit count.

Btw, these kinds of issues is exactly why I've been hardnosed about
64-bit divides for decades. 64-bit divides on 32-bit machines are
*expensive*. It's why I don't like saying "just use '/' and we'll pick
up the routines from libgcc".

In almost all real-life cases - at least in a kernel - the full divide
is unnecessary. It's almost always people being silly and lazy, and
the very expensive operation can be avoided entirely (or at least
minimized to something like 64/32).

I was going to ask about the history there; not to derail the thread
further, but this is a question whose answer is important to me.

Are the helpers from libgcc insufficient?  Working through
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1438 which all came
about because LLVM's equivalent of libgcc, "compiler-rt," had a nice
helper for builtin multiply with overflow check that libgcc does not.
As such, llvm cannot assume compiler-rt is being linked against, so
llvm must expand these inline every time.  And the code in line is
HUGE: https://godbolt.org/z/MM4hPGxTE.  IMO we could do a much much
better job on code size (and thus probably I$ performance
improvements) had we just linked against the compiler runtime.

Perhaps the concern is of the quality of implementations of the
compiler runtime routines; that we may have arch specific
implementations that are better? 64b division on 32b targets is
expensive either way; I'd rather have the compiler generate a libcall
than try to expand these inline.  I'm not sure if it's the case, but I
can't help but wonder if there are other optimization decisions being
based on whether the compiler runtime is being linked against or not;
it's hard for the compiler to know what will happen at link time.
Vaguely reminiscent of the issues we face against using
-ffreestanding.

Switching that now (so that we did link in the compiler runtimes)
would be a massive yak shave, for sure.

So?

I'm not seeing your point.

We've checked the range of it - in loff_t.

So the *value* is already checked, and most definitely fits in 'unsigned long'.

So __ffs() is perfectly fine. It will truncate that loff_t to a sane type.

No. The helpers from libgcc are *overly* sufficient.

The reason we strive to avoid libgcc on any relevant architectures is
not because it's not sufficient, it's because it hides problems.

libgcc has all these helpers for things that the kernel simply shouldn't do.

So _not_ linking against it is the thing that traditionally helps us

In other words, avoiding libgcc is what protects us from people doing

No. The helpers from libgcc are *overly* sufficient.

The reason we strive to avoid libgcc on any relevant architectures is
not because it's not sufficient, it's because it hides problems.

libgcc has all these helpers for things that the kernel simply shouldn't do.

So _not_ linking against it is the thing that traditionally helps us
find problems, because you get things like

  undefined symbol '__udivdi3'

or whatever.

In other words, avoiding libgcc is what protects us from people doing
(some) stupid things.

Christ Nick.

Stop wasting my time.

Read the patch:

        if (!blksize)
-               blksize = NBD_DEF_BLKSIZE;
+               blksize = 1u << NBD_DEF_BLKSIZE_BITS;
        if (blksize < 512 || blksize > PAGE_SIZE || !is_power_of_2(blksize))
                return -EINVAL;

        nbd->config->bytesize = bytesize;
-       nbd->config->blksize = blksize;
+       nbd->config->blksize_bits = __ffs(blksize);

See that range check?

Seriously, I've now replied several times to you just because you were
too damn lazy to just look three lines up from the __ffs() that you
reacted to, when I explicitly mentioned the range check several times,
including in the original submission, and when it was RIGHT THERE IN
THE PATCH IN THE ONLY PLACE THAT DID THAT __FFS.

(Ok, so the lower check of range was 512, not 1024, sue me).

It was all there in the diff all the time.

Don't email me again about this. At least not without spending the
FIVE SECONDS to look at what the hell you are emailing me about.
