The standard doesn't specify what happens to the padding so it's not just for gcc, it's compiler dependent. So anything that's used in a copy_to_user with any possible padding should either be zalloc'd or memset before assigned. In this case: include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:#define SOPASS_MAX 6 and include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:struct ethtool_wolinfo { include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h- __u32 cmd; include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h- __u32 supported; include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h- __u32 wolopts; include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h- __u8 sopass[SOPASS_MAX]; include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h-}; so there's likely a couple bytes of trailing padding. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

I looked into this at one point, but didn't get as far as generating patches. I think that the approach was roughly to collect the types of the fields, and then generate code that would use BUILD_BUG_ON to complain if the sum of the sizes was not the same as the size of the structure. The problem was that I wasn't sure what was a real problem, nor what was the best way to solve it. julia ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Just curios: is static struct initialization (on stack) something that should be avoided ?

The (potential) problem here is that the structure has padding and it is as a whole (i.e. including the padding) copied to userspace. While I'm not aware of a compiler that wouldn't actually initialize the whole data block including the padding in this case, the C standard provides no guarantee about that so that to be sure we cannot leak leftover kernel data to userspace, we need to explicitly initialize the whole block. If the structure is not going to be copied to userspace (or otherwise exposed), using the initializer is fully sufficient and looks cleaner.

I'm not sure that it is likely that the compiler will do anything other than ensure that all the fields are initialized. Among the files that I could compile, the only case with actual padding and no memset, memcpy, copy_from_user or structure assignment that I could find was drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_kms.c There is the code struct drm_amdgpu_info_device dev_info = {}; but I couldn't see any thing in the assembly language that seemed to zero the structure. gcc probably thought its job was done because all fields are subsequently initialized. But the size of the structure does not seem to be the same as the sum of the size of the fields. The set of fields was collected with Coccinelle, which could be unreliable for this task. julia > > If the structure is not going to be copied to userspace (or otherwise > exposed), using the initializer is fully sufficient and looks cleaner. > > Michal Kubecek > _______________________________________________ > Cocci mailing list > Cocci@systeme.lip6.fr > https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

This patch fixes a > real bug that GCC on my system (v7.4) Just checked (again) to be sure. No matter if the function is inlined or not, gcc 7.4.1 initializes the structure by one movl (of 0x5) and two movq (of 0x0), i.e. initializes all sizeof(struct ethtool_wolinfo) = 20 bytes including the padding. One could certainly construct examples where a real life compiler would only initialize the fields. That's why I said "in this case".

That's why I said "in this case". Looking again at the case that I mentioned, I see: # drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_kms.c:691: struct drm_amdgpu_info_device dev_info = {}; call __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc # leaq 840(%rsp), %rdi #, tmp1126 xorl %eax, %eax # tmp1127 movl $46, %ecx #, tmp1128 rep stosq So I guess the rep stosq is doing the memset. julia > > Michal Kubecek > > > _______________________________________________ > Cocci mailing list > Cocci@systeme.lip6.fr > https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci > ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread
