[PATCH 0/9] Enable orphan section warning

[PATCH 0/9] Enable orphan section warning

[Kees Cook]

Hi!

A recent bug was solved for builds linked with ld.lld, and tracking
it down took way longer than it needed to (a year). Ultimately, it
boiled down to differences between ld.bfd and ld.lld's handling of
orphan sections. Similarly, the recent FGKASLR series brough up orphan
section handling too[2]. In both cases, it would have been nice if the
linker was running with --orphan-handling=warn so that surprise sections
wouldn't silently get mapped into the kernel image at locations up to
the whim of the linker's orphan handling logic. Instead, all desired
sections should be explicitly identified in the linker script (to be
either kept or discarded) with any orphans throwing a warning. The
powerpc architecture actually already does this, so this series seeks
to extend this coverage to x86, arm64, and arm.

This series depends on tip/x86/boot (where recent .eh_frame fixes[3]
landed), and has a minor conflict[4] with the ARM tree (related to
the earlier mentioned bug). As it uses refactorings in the asm-generic
linker script, and makes changes to kbuild, I think the cleanest place
for this series to land would also be through -tip. Once again (like
my READ_IMPLIES_EXEC series), I'm looking to get maintainer Acks so
this can go all together with the least disruption. Splitting it up by
architecture seems needlessly difficult.

Thanks!

[PATCH 1/9] scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: Delay orphan handling warnings until final link

[Kees Cook]

Right now, powerpc adds "--orphan-handling=warn" to LD_FLAGS_vmlinux
to detect when there are unexpected sections getting added to the kernel
image. There is no need to report these warnings more than once, so it
can be removed until the final link stage.

This helps pave the way for other architectures to enable this, with the
end goal of enabling this warning by default for vmlinux for all
architectures.

That's ugly. Why not just enable it for all archs?

It is ugly; I agree.

I can try to do this for all architectures, but I worry there are a
bunch I can't test. But I guess it would stand out. ;)

It's only warn, so it doesn't break their builds (unless there's a 
linker error on warn option I don't know about?). We had a powerpc bug 
that would have been caught with it as well, so it's not a bad idea to
get everyone using it.

I would just do it. Doesn't take much to fix.

Thanks,
Nick

It's only warn, so it doesn't break their builds (unless there's a 
linker error on warn option I don't know about?). We had a powerpc bug 
that would have been caught with it as well, so it's not a bad idea to
get everyone using it.

I would just do it. Doesn't take much to fix.

Thanks,
Nick

Well, it's bad form to add warnings to a build. I am expected to fix any
warnings before I enable a warning flag.

I will do my best on the archs I can't test. :)

[PATCH 2/9] vmlinux.lds.h: Add .gnu.version* to DISCARDS

[Kees Cook]

For vmlinux linking, no architecture uses the .gnu.version* section,
so remove it via the common DISCARDS macro in preparation for adding
--orphan-handling=warn more widely.

[PATCH 3/9] x86/build: Warn on orphan section placement

[Kees Cook]

We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement
heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between
versions. All sections need to be explicitly named in the linker
script.

Discards the unused rela, plt, and got sections that are not needed
in the final vmlinux, and enable orphan section warnings.

[PATCH 6/9] arm64/build: Use common DISCARDS in linker script

[Kees Cook]

Use the common DISCARDS rule for the linker script in an effort to
regularize the linker script to prepare for warning on orphaned
sections.

[Kees Cook]

We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement
heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between
versions. All sections need to be explicitly named in the linker
script.

Explicitly include debug sections when they're present. Add .eh_frame*
to discard as it seems that these are still generated even though
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables is being specified. Add .plt and
.data.rel.ro to discards as they are not actually used. Add .got.plt
to the image as it does appear to be mapped near .data. Finally enable
orphan section warnings.

Hmm, I don't understand what .got.plt is doing here. Please can you
elaborate?

I didn't track it down, but it seems to have been present (and merged
into the kernel .data) for a while now. I can try to track this down if

Yes, the presence of a procedure linkage table makes sense for symbol
interposition and lazy binding in userspace executables with runtime
shared object loading support, but not so much the kernel, I would
think.  (Though someone did just recently ask me if loadable kernel
modules could interpose weakly defined symbols in the kernel, and if
so what happens on unload.  I have no idea and suspect kernel modules
cannot do that, but I have looked into the kernel's runtime relocation
support.)

[PATCH 8/9] arm/build: Warn on orphan section placement

[Kees Cook]

We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement
heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between
versions. All sections need to be explicitly named in the linker
script.

Specifically, this would have made a recently fixed bug very obvious:

ld: warning: orphan section `.fixup' from `arch/arm/lib/copy_from_user.o' being placed in section `.fixup'

Refactor linker script include file for use in standard and XIP linker
scripts, as well as in the coming boot linker script changes. Add debug
sections explicitly. Create ARM_COMMON_DISCARD macro with unneeded
sections .ARM.attributes, .iplt, .rel.iplt, .igot.plt, and .modinfo.
Create ARM_STUBS_TEXT macro with missed text stub sections .vfp11_veneer,
and .v4_bx. Finally enable orphan section warning.

[PATCH 8/9] arm/build: Warn on orphan section placement

[Kees Cook]

We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement
heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between
versions. All sections need to be explicitly named in the linker
script.

Specifically, this would have made a recently fixed bug very obvious:

ld: warning: orphan section `.fixup' from `arch/arm/lib/copy_from_user.o' being placed in section `.fixup'

Refactor linker script include file for use in standard and XIP linker
scripts, as well as in the coming boot linker script changes. Add debug
sections explicitly. Create ARM_COMMON_DISCARD macro with unneeded
sections .ARM.attributes, .iplt, .rel.iplt, .igot.plt, and .modinfo.
Create ARM_STUBS_TEXT macro with missed text stub sections .vfp11_veneer,
and .v4_bx. Finally enable orphan section warning.

Hi Kees,

is this an updated version of what you have in your
kees/linux.git#linker/orphans/x86-arm Git branch?

Especially, I saw a difference in [2] and "[PATCH 4/9] x86/boot: Warn
on orphan section placement"

[ arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile ]

+KBUILD_LDFLAGS += --no-ld-generated-unwind-info

Can you comment on why this KBUILD_LDFLAGS was added/needed?

I like when people offer their work in a Git branch.
Do you plan to do that?

Thanks.

Regards,

Hi Kees,

is this an updated version of what you have in your
kees/linux.git#linker/orphans/x86-arm Git branch?

Especially, I saw a difference in [2] and "[PATCH 4/9] x86/boot: Warn
on orphan section placement"

[ arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile ]

+KBUILD_LDFLAGS += --no-ld-generated-unwind-info

Can you comment on why this KBUILD_LDFLAGS was added/needed?

I like when people offer their work in a Git branch.
Do you plan to do that?

Thanks.

Regards,

It looks like the linker decided to add .eh_frame sections even when all
the .o files lacked it. Adding this flag solved it (which I prefer over
adding it to DISCARD).

Since it was based on a -tip sub-branch I didn't push a
copy, but since you asked here it is:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=orphans/tip/x86/boot

And this email can serve as a "ping" to the arch maintainers too...
does this all look okay to you? I think it'd be a nice improvement. :)

Thanks!

Based on the feedback, I have 3 TODO items:

- track down and eliminate (or explain) the source of the .got.plt on arm64
- enable orphan warnings for _all_ architectures
- refactor final link logic to perform the orphan warning in a clean way

I'm working through these (and other work) still. I'm hoping to have
another version up some time next week.
