[PATCH ftrace/core v6 0/5] ftrace, kprobes: Introduce IPMODIFY flag for ftrace_ops to detect conflicts

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

Here is the 6th version of the series of patches which introduces
IPMODIFY flag for ftrace_ops to detect conflicts of ftrace users
who can modify regs->ip in their handler.

This version is basically an update of previous version to the
latest ftrace/core tree.

Currently, only kprobes can change the regs->ip in the handler,
but recent Kernel Live Patching also changes it.

Here we talked on github.
 https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/issues/47

To protect modified regs-ip from each other, this series
introduces FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag and ftrace now ensures
the flag can be set on each function entry location. If there
is someone who already reserve regs->ip on target function
entry, ftrace_set_filter_ip or register_ftrace_function will
return -EBUSY. Users must handle that.
The ftrace_ops with IPMODIFY flag requires at least one
entry for filter hash, and its notrace_hash must be empty,
because the IPMODIFY action is very address sensitve and
user must consider the ip address.

Thank you,

---

[PATCH ftrace/core v6 1/5] kprobes/ftrace: Recover original IP if pre_handler doesn't change it

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Recover original IP register if the pre_handler doesn't change it.
Since current kprobes doesn't expect that another ftrace handler
may change regs->ip, it sets kprobe.addr + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE to
regs->ip and returns to ftrace.
This seems wrong behavior since kprobes can recover regs->ip
and safely pass it to another handler.

This adds a code which recovers original regs->ip passed from
ftrace right before returning to ftrace, so that another ftrace
user can change regs->ip.

[PATCH ftrace/core v6 2/5] ftrace, kprobes: Support IPMODIFY flag to find IP modify conflict

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY to avoid conflict among
ftrace users who may modify regs->ip to change the execution
path. If two or more users modify the regs->ip on the same
function entry, one of them will be broken. So they must add
IPMODIFY flag and make sure that ftrace_set_filter_ip() succeeds.

Note that ftrace doesn't allow ftrace_ops which has IPMODIFY
flag to have notrace hash, and the ftrace_ops must have a
filter hash (so that the ftrace_ops can hook only specific
entries), because it strongly depends on the address and
must be allowed for only few selected functions.

Changes in v6:
 - Update to the latest ftrace tree (Trampoline).

Changes in v5:
 - Update to the latest ftrace tree.

Changes in v4:
 - Split kprobe's part from this patch.
 - Add no-notrace hash check.
 - Reject if the filter_hash is empty. Since IPMODIFY action
   is very address sensitive, empty hash (means hooking all
   functions) must not be allowed.

Changes in v3:
 - Update for the latest ftrace/core.
 - Add a comment about FTRACE_OPS_FL_* attribute flags.
 - Don't check FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS in
   __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify().
 - Fix comments.

Changes in v2:
 - Add a description how __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify() will
   handle the given hashes (NULL and EMPTY_HASH cases).
 - Clear FTRACE_OPS_FL_ENABLED after calling
   __unregister_ftrace_function() in error path.

It's blocked by any ops sharing the same function, or just another ops
with this flag set? The comment doesn't specify. The code looks like
the latter.

[PATCH ftrace/core v6 3/5] kprobes: Add IPMODIFY flag to kprobe_ftrace_ops

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Add FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag to kprobe_ftrace_ops
since kprobes can changes regs->ip.

[PATCH ftrace/core v6 4/5] kprobes: Set IPMODIFY flag only if the probe can change regs->ip

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Set FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag only for the probes which can change
regs->ip, which has kprobe->break_handler.
Currently we can not put jprobe and another ftrace handler which
changes regs->ip on the same function because all kprobes have
FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY flag. This removes FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY
flag from kprobes and only when the user uses jprobe (or the
kprobe.break_handler != NULL) we add additinal ftrace_ops with
FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY on target function.

Note about the implementation: This uses a dummy ftrace_ops to
reserve IPMODIFY flag on the given ftrace address, for the case
that we have a enabled kprobe on a function entry and a jprobe
is added on the same point. In that case, we already have a
ftrace_ops without IPMODIFY flag on the entry, and we have to
add another ftrace_ops with IPMODIFY on the same address.
If we put a same handler on both ftrace_ops, the handler can
be called twice on that entry until the first one is removed.
This means that the kprobe and the jprobe are called twice too,
and that will not what kprobes expected.
Thus I added a dummy ftrace_ops just for reserving IPMODIFY flag.

Changes in v4:
 - Increment refcounter after succeeded to register ftrace_ops.

Changes in v3:
 - Update __ftrace_add/remove_filter_ip() according to
   Namhyng's comments (thanks!)
 - Split out regs->ip recovering code from this patch.

Feel free to just use ftrace_stub instead. That's what it's there for.

Why the goto out, and not just return ret?

Probably could just return 0 here.

Rest looks fine.

Please, what are the plans with this patch?

I have checked the interference between Kprobes and LivePatching and
here is my observation:

1. Jprobe and LivePatch must be in a hard conflict. They both need
   to change IP and continue another way after ftrace ops finishes.

   BTW: I wonder a bit why Jprobe handler could not be called directly
   from kprobe_ftrace_handler(). I guess that it is because we want
   to call the kprobe handler in a sane context: preemption and IRQs
   enabled, be able to use traced functions.


2. Normal Kprobe for the original function is ignored if the function
   is patched.

   I am working on a code that will print warning in both
   cases. First, when we add a patch and the function has
   a Kprobe registered. Second, the function is patched and
   we want to add Kprobe for the original version.

   I want to make it generic and make it dependent on the
   IPMODIFY flag. IMHO, it just could be a handshake between
   kprobe and ftrace code. I am still trying to understand
   the needed parts of the code ;-)


3. Kretprobe could live with a patch without a problem!

   The Kretprobe entry handler is called directly in
   kprobe_ftrace_handler() and does not change IP.
   On the other hand the LivePatch ftrace handler does
   not modify the return address because the return address
   is the same for the original and the patched function.

   Or did I miss something?

   This is where this patch might be useful. The other patches
   from this patch set are already in Linus' tree and I cannot
   find any information about this one.

   I could try to solve remaining problems if there are any.

Petr

Right, Jprobe is just a different interface of kprobe handler. It must be
called from kprobes.
However, I think this is not so hard in practice, since we already have
perf-probe which allows us to find which register or stack is assigned to
which function parameter. That was the main reason why jprobe is introduced.
But now, we have perf-probe or systemtap, we don't(or less) need the hack like
jprobe anymore.

Thanks! Maybe we can add "Ignored" flag for those kprobes so that users
can check it is working or not via debugfs.

BTW, the kprobes on function entry (iow, ftrace-based kprobes) should
not be ignored. Even if we patches a function-body, the entrance
address should be same.

I see. It is called this special way (modifies regs->ip), so that
registry and stack have the same content as if the probed function was called.

Great idea. Well, it will solve only already existing Kprobes.

I have played with it and realized that only Kprobes framework has
information about all existing and newly created Kprobes. Therefore
we need to somehow inform it that there is a patch and that the code
is redirected. I have a prototype that is introducing a new fake
Kprobe, so called Patch Probe. It has new flag KPROBE_FLAG_PATCH
and no handlers. Conflicts with existing Kprobes are checked when
this special probe is added. Also conflicts with these Patch probes
are checked when new normal Kprobe is added.

I still want to clean and test it a bit before sending as RFC.

I have one more patch set in the queue. It better handle errors when
kprobe_ftrace_ops could not be registered in arm_kprobe_ftrace()
and disarm_kprobe_ftrace(). This one is nearly done. Unfortunately,
I had to interupt it because my wife got sick and I had to take care
of babies. And then there is the big activity around life patching
that we need to somehow handle.

Yes.

Yeah, just changing the kprobe state is easy and needed.
And for newer kprobes, perhaps we need to add
bool klp_patched_function(void *func_addr); to check the
function is patched. (this will need to be done with
locking kpatch...)

No, you don't need that. I can make kprobes_location() or
kprobe_for_each_on(kp, start, end) {} iterator. Since the livepatch
is in-tree feature now, we can change kprobes for it...
And anyway, IPMODIFY should be only for jprobes not kprobes...

You are right, the in-tree live patch code brings more possibilities.

[PATCH ftrace/core v6 5/5] kselftest, ftrace: Add ftrace IPMODIFY flag test

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Add ftrace IPMODIFY flag test to selftest/ftrace. The
test checks simple ftrace handler insertion and
combinations of ftrace, kprobe, and jprobe.
This test requires kernel build tree to build a test
kernel module and root privilege to run.

Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

---
Changes in v6:
 - Fix macros to avoid errors by checkpatch.pl.

Changes in v5:
 - Add this test to kselftest.

Can you make it so that make O=/path/to/build works?

I tried running this on my test box, which has /home/rostedt mounted
read only from my build box, and I get this:

Hmm, I always use "O=builddir" option in my build script...

My case is just to keep the source tree clean, so source tree is
still writable and builddir is under another directory in /home/<user>/.

Hmm, this error looks odd, not ENOENT but EPERM??
Could you run it again with V=1 ?

But do you use O=builddir where builddir is where the kernel was built?
I don't.

Remember, I build on a server and install on a test box. The server
directory is read only. I can not have O= be the path to where the
kernel was built. I have to use a different directory.

Hmm, yes, I always use kbin/linux-3.<arch>/ for the builddir of
ksrc/linux-3/ source tree.

Oh, I see. So your kernel is built on a directory which mounted as
readonly, and installed on the testbox.

So, if your server directory is mounted with noexec, it's an environmental
problem. I guess you can not build any kernel drivers on that testbox, can you?

Anyway, this gives us a good question, "should test binaries be made by
server or client(testbox) environment?" This ipmodify driver is a binary
and it should be built with the kernel binary (by server) I think.
But yes, I missed the Makefile didn't allow that (this always referred
installed running kernel builddir).

I hope to have CONFIG_KSELFTEST_BINARIES for Kconfig, or make prep_kselftest
target to build these binaries with kernel...

Shuah, what would you think about this?

You're right about the noexec, even though my fstab has "exec" in it ??

I use a custom distcc build to build the kernel, and I don't waste time
setting up that environment for a testbox, which means I can't build a
module for the test kernels because it would be using a different
compiler in that case.

Is that what this would need? I would think we could add a
CONFIG_KSELFTEST_MODULES, that would build any modules needed for
selftests and have them in /lib/modules just like any other module.

Ha! I hit this bug!

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769636

If I remove "user" from the flags, it mounts exec.

This test box runs Fedora 18.

Good :)

So, I don't need to fix that at this point, do I?
It seems that current kselftest only supports this type of build
(build on installed kernel), and Shuah is working on fixing that.

I am working on patch series to add an install target to the
main kernel makefile, so these tests can be built and installed
on a target just like we do with kernel and modules. I hope to
get this in 3.19 or definitely into 3.20

This probably will help address the problem you are seeing.
Install target is needed for qemu type environments as well.

thanks,

Yes, that is what we need for this test case!
Please CC to me when sending the series. I'd like to try and

Good. Please take a look at this thread and give it a try. Please
give me feedback as well. This is the first step to get the install
feature added and then we can refine it at the selftests level as
needed.

BTW, are those patches included in the below kernel.org tree ?

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git/

Give it a try and let me know what you think.
