[PATCH] tracing/user_events: align uaddr on unsigned long alignment

[PATCH] tracing/user_events: align uaddr on unsigned long alignment

[Clément Léger]

enabler->uaddr can be aligned on 32 or 64 bits. If aligned on 32 bits,
this will result in a misaligned access on 64 bits architectures since
set_bit()/clear_bit() are expecting an unsigned long (aligned) pointer.
On architecture that do not support misaligned access, this will crash
the kernel. Align uaddr on unsigned long size to avoid such behavior.
This bug was found while running kselftests on RISC-V.

Thanks for fixing! I have a few comments on this.

I unfortunately do not have RISC-V hardware to validate this on.

I think for future readers of this code it would be more clear to use
BITS_PER_BYTE instead of the hardcoded 8. Given we always align on a
"natural" boundary, I believe the bit_offset will always be 32 bits.

A comment here might help clarify why we do this as well in case folks
don't see the change description.

Shouldn't this uaddr change be done before calling pin_user_pages_remote()
to ensure things cannot go bad? (I don't think they can, but it looks a
little odd).

Thanks,

Does this work for big endian machines too?

Little endian layout:

 uaddr = 0xbeef0004
 enabler = 1;

 memory at 0xbeef0000:  00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
                                    ^
                                    addr: 0xbeef0004

				(enabler is set )

	bitoffset = uaddr & (sizeof(unsigned long) - 1); bitoffset = 4
	bit_offset *= 8;				 bitoffset = 32
	uaddr &= ~(sizeof(unsigned long) - 1);		 uaddr = 0xbeef0000

	ptr = kaddr + (uaddr & ~PAGE_MASK);

	clear_bit(1 + 32, ptr);

 memory at 0xbeef0000:  00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
                                     ^
				bit 33 of 0xbeef0000

Now lets look at big endian layout:

 uaddr = 0xbeef0004
 enabler = 1;

 memory at 0xbeef0000:  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02
                                    ^
                                    addr: 0xbeef0004

				(enabler is set )

	bitoffset = uaddr & (sizeof(unsigned long) - 1); bitoffset = 4
	bit_offset *= 8;				 bitoffset = 32
	uaddr &= ~(sizeof(unsigned long) - 1);		 uaddr = 0xbeef0000

	ptr = kaddr + (uaddr & ~PAGE_MASK);

	clear_bit(1 + 32, ptr);

 memory at 0xbeef0000:  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02
                                  ^
				bit 33 of 0xbeef0000

I don't think that's what you expected!

I believe the above can be fixed with:

	bit_offset = uaddr & (sizeof(unsigned long) - 1);
	if (bit_offset) {
#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
		bit_offest = 0;
#else
		bit_offset *= BITS_PER_BYTE;
#endif
		uaddr &= ~(sizeof(unsigned long) - 1);
	}

Hi Steven,

Nice catch ! I don't have big endian at end but I'll check that.

Hi Beau,

Yes sure, I'll add a comment and use the define as well.

Indeed, I don't think that will cause any problem since pin_user_pages
will return a page aligned address anyway and that aligning uaddr will
not yield any page crossing. But I'll check to be sure and move that
before the call if needed.

What we need are generic set_bit_aligned() and clear_bit_aligned(), which align the ptr
by unsigned long. (I think it should be done in set_bit/clear_bit, for architecture
which requires aligned access...)

#define LONG_ALIGN_DIFF(p)	(p) & (sizeof(long) -1)
#define LONG_ALINGNED(p)		(p) & ~(sizeof(long) - 1)

static inline void set_bit_aligned(int bit, unsigned long *ptr)
{
	int offs = LONG_ALIGN_DIFF(ptr) * 8;

#ifdef __BIGENDIAN
	if (bit >= offs) {
		set_bit(bit - offs, LONG_ALIGNED(ptr));
	} else {
		set_bit(bit + BITS_PER_LONG - offs, LONG_ALIGNED(ptr) + 1);
	}
#else
	if (bit < BITS_PER_LONG - offs) {
		set_bit(bit + offs, LONG_ALIGNED(ptr));
	} else {
		set_bit(bit - BITS_PER_LONG + offs, LONG_ALIGNED(ptr) + 1);
	}
#endif
}

And use it.

Hi Masami,

Indeed, that is a more elegant version, thanks for the snippet.

You don't want to do it on x86-64 either.
A locked accesses that crosses a cache line boundary is horrid.
So horrid that recent cpu's can be made to fault.

I'd also doubt that other cpu that can do misaligned transfers
can even do locked ones.

For x86 (and LE) the long[] bitmap can be treated as char[]
avoiding all the problems.

Perhaps there ought to be bit a bit-array based on char[]
(not long[]) that would be endianness independent and
use byte-sized atomics.
(IIRC that is still an issue on sparc32...)

Hi David,

That would work for a few architectures but I don't think all of them
have byte "grain" atomics. So I guess Masami solution (long aligned
set/clear_bit()) remains the best out there.

Actually, after looking more in depth at that, it seems like there are
actually 2 problems that can happen.

First one is atomic access misalignment due to enable_size == 4 and
uaddr not being aligned on a (long) boundary on 64 bits architecture.
This can generate misaligned exceptions on various architectures. This
can be fixed in a more general way according to Masami snippet.

Second one that I can see is on 64 bits, big endian architectures with
enable_size == 4. In that case, the bit provided by the userspace won't
be correctly set since this code kind of assume that the atomic are done
on 32bits value. Since the kernel assume long sized atomic operation, on
big endian 64 bits architecture, the updated bit will actually be in the
next 32 bits word.

Can someone confirm my understanding ?

I have a ppc 64bit BE VM I've been validating this on. If we do the
shifting within user_events (vs a generic set_bit_aligned approach)
64bit BE does not need additional bit manipulation. However, if we were
to blindly pass the address and bit as is to set_bit_aligned() it
assumes the bit number is for a long, not a 32 bit word. So for that
approach we would need to offset the bit in the unaligned case.

Here's a patch I have that I've validated on ppc64 BE, aarch64 LE, and
x86_64 LE. I personally feel more comfortable with this approach than
the generic set_bit_aligned() one.

Thanks,

Actually, I take back some of what I said [1]. If a 32-bit on a 64-bit
kernel comes in on BE, and is aligned, we do need to offset the bits as
well (just verified on my ppc64 BE VM).

You should be able to use that patch as a base though and add a flag to
struct user_event_enabler when this case occurs. Then in the
align_addr_bit() adjust the bits as well upon aligned cases.

Hi Beau, except the specific alignment that is basically what I ended up
with for the BE 64bit case (ie just bit += 32). Regarding the generic
alignment, depends on what the maintainers wishes (generic of user_event
specific). I also feel like this shoulmd be handle specifically for
user_events which uses set_bit in some non standard way. Any suggestion ?

Thanks,

Clément

Yes, that is what I meant in my previous comment. I'll resend my series
which handles that properly (and which includes generic
set_bit_unaligned()).

Looking at this deeper, user_events needs to track some of this
alignment requirements within each enabler. This is needed because when
enablers are disabled/removed they do not have the actual size. The size
is needed to know if we need to update the bits, etc. (IE: If originally
a 32-bit value was used and it's aligned and it's on BE, it needs the
bits shifted.)

My final version that I played around with looked like this for just the
alignment requirements:
+static inline void align_addr_bit(unsigned long *addr, int *bit,
+                                 unsigned long *flags)
+{
+       if (IS_ALIGNED(*addr, sizeof(long))) {
+#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN
+               if (test_bit(ENABLE_VAL_32_BIT, flags))
+                       *bit += 32;
+#endif
+               return;
+       }
+
+       *addr = ALIGN_DOWN(*addr, sizeof(long));
+
+       /*
+        * We only support 32 and 64 bit values. The only time we need
+        * to align is a 32 bit value on a 64 bit kernel, which on LE
+        * is always 32 bits, and on BE requires no change.
+        */
+#ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN
+       *bit += 32;
+#endif
+}

Below is the full patch, which is currently appearing to pass everything
on BE (Please note, the abi_test in selftests needs fixes that I plan to
push out. I'd like to get Steven to take those changes along with yours
together from tracing to ensure we can test BE with these changes
properly).

As you'll see, it requires a bit more work than just a generic unaligned
solution due to the bits having to move for 32-bit on BE and the
tracking requirement on when to do so during delete/clear.

Thanks,

I actually had the same kind of handling (using a size field rather than
a flag though). However, the generic set_bit/clear bit requires a
different handling of the 32 bits on BE 64 bits which does not sounds
quite right, ie unconditionally add 32 bits to fixup the offset which is
 implicit in case you are not aligned with your code (ie shifting the
address actually give the correct bit on BE 64 bits).

Since you already wrote the code, I think we can proceed with your
version as I actually thinks its more clearer to understand.

Thanks,

Clément

less clear in the BE 64 bits case:
