[PATCH v3 0/3] Fix some incompatibilites between KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE

[PATCH v3 0/3] Fix some incompatibilites between KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE

[Daniel Axtens]

3 KASAN self-tests fail on a kernel with both KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE:
memchr, memcmp and strlen. I have observed this on x86 and powerpc.

When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with
fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the
operands. However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo()
once they have performed the fortify check.

This breaks things in 2 ways:

 - the three function calls are technically dead code, and can be
   eliminated. When __builtin_ versions are used, the compiler can detect
   this.

 - Using __builtins may bypass KASAN checks if the compiler decides to
   inline it's own implementation as sequence of instructions, rather than
   emit a function call that goes out to a KASAN-instrumented
   implementation.

The patches address each reason in turn. Finally, test_memcmp used a
stack array without explicit initialisation, which can sometimes break
too, so fix that up.

v3: resend with Reviewed-bys, hopefully for inclusion in 5.8.

v2: - some cleanups, don't mess with arch code as I missed some wrinkles.
    - add stack array init (patch 3)

[PATCH v3 1/3] kasan: stop tests being eliminated as dead code with FORTIFY_SOURCE

[Daniel Axtens]

3 KASAN self-tests fail on a kernel with both KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE:
memchr, memcmp and strlen.

When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with
fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the operands.
However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo() once they
have performed the fortify check. The compiler can detect that the results
of these functions are not used, and knows that they have no other side
effects, and so can eliminate them as dead code.

Why are only memchr, memcmp and strlen affected?
================================================

Of string and string-like functions, kasan_test tests:

 * strchr  ->  not affected, no fortified version
 * strrchr ->  likewise
 * strcmp  ->  likewise
 * strncmp ->  likewise

 * strnlen ->  not affected, the fortify source implementation calls the
               underlying strnlen implementation which is instrumented, not
               a builtin

 * strlen  ->  affected, the fortify souce implementation calls a __builtin
               version which the compiler can determine is dead.

 * memchr  ->  likewise
 * memcmp  ->  likewise

 * memset ->   not affected, the compiler knows that memset writes to its
	       first argument and therefore is not dead.

Why does this not affect the functions normally?
================================================

In string.h, these functions are not marked as __pure, so the compiler
cannot know that they do not have side effects. If relevant functions are
marked as __pure in string.h, we see the following warnings and the
functions are elided:

lib/test_kasan.c: In function ‘kasan_memchr’:
lib/test_kasan.c:606:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
  memchr(ptr, '1', size + 1);
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/test_kasan.c: In function ‘kasan_memcmp’:
lib/test_kasan.c:622:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
  memcmp(ptr, arr, size+1);
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/test_kasan.c: In function ‘kasan_strings’:
lib/test_kasan.c:645:2: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
  strchr(ptr, '1');
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...

This annotation would make sense to add and could be added at any point, so
the behaviour of test_kasan.c should change.

The fix
=======

Make all the functions that are pure write their results to a global,
which makes them live. The strlen and memchr tests now pass.

The memcmp test still fails to trigger, which is addressed in the next
patch.

[PATCH v3 2/3] string.h: fix incompatibility between FORTIFY_SOURCE and KASAN

[Daniel Axtens]

The memcmp KASAN self-test fails on a kernel with both KASAN and
FORTIFY_SOURCE.

When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with
fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the operands.
However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo() once they
have performed the fortify check. Using __builtins may bypass KASAN
checks if the compiler decides to inline it's own implementation as
sequence of instructions, rather than emit a function call that goes out
to a KASAN-instrumented implementation.

Why is only memcmp affected?
============================

Of the string and string-like functions that kasan_test tests, only memcmp
is replaced by an inline sequence of instructions in my testing on x86 with
gcc version 9.2.1 20191008 (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2).

I believe this is due to compiler heuristics. For example, if I annotate
kmalloc calls with the alloc_size annotation (and disable some fortify
compile-time checking!), the compiler will replace every memset except the
one in kmalloc_uaf_memset with inline instructions. (I have some WIP
patches to add this annotation.)

Does this affect other functions in string.h?
=============================================

Yes. Anything that uses __builtin_* rather than __real_* could be
affected. This looks like:

 - strncpy
 - strcat
 - strlen
 - strlcpy maybe, under some circumstances?
 - strncat under some circumstances
 - memset
 - memcpy
 - memmove
 - memcmp (as noted)
 - memchr
 - strcpy

Whether a function call is emitted always depends on the compiler. Most
bugs should get caught by FORTIFY_SOURCE, but the missed memcmp test shows
that this is not always the case.

Isn't FORTIFY_SOURCE disabled with KASAN?
========================================-

The string headers on all arches supporting KASAN disable fortify with
kasan, but only when address sanitisation is _also_ disabled. For example
from x86:

 #if defined(CONFIG_KASAN) && !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__)
 /*
  * For files that are not instrumented (e.g. mm/slub.c) we
  * should use not instrumented version of mem* functions.
  */
 #define memcpy(dst, src, len) __memcpy(dst, src, len)
 #define memmove(dst, src, len) __memmove(dst, src, len)
 #define memset(s, c, n) __memset(s, c, n)

 #ifndef __NO_FORTIFY
 #define __NO_FORTIFY /* FORTIFY_SOURCE uses __builtin_memcpy, etc. */
 #endif

 #endif

This comes from commit 6974f0c4555e ("include/linux/string.h: add the
option of fortified string.h functions"), and doesn't work when KASAN is
enabled and the file is supposed to be sanitised - as with test_kasan.c

I'm pretty sure this is not wrong, but not as expansive it should be:

 * we shouldn't use __builtin_memcpy etc in files where we don't have
   instrumentation - it could devolve into a function call to memcpy,
   which will be instrumented. Rather, we should use __memcpy which
   by convention is not instrumented.

 * we also shouldn't be using __builtin_memcpy when we have a KASAN
   instrumented file, because it could be replaced with inline asm
   that will not be instrumented.

What is correct behaviour?
==========================

Firstly, there is some overlap between fortification and KASAN: both
provide some level of _runtime_ checking. Only fortify provides
compile-time checking.

KASAN and fortify can pick up different things at runtime:

 - Some fortify functions, notably the string functions, could easily be
   modified to consider sub-object sizes (e.g. members within a struct),
   and I have some WIP patches to do this. KASAN cannot detect these
   because it cannot insert poision between members of a struct.

 - KASAN can detect many over-reads/over-writes when the sizes of both
   operands are unknown, which fortify cannot.

So there are a couple of options:

 1) Flip the test: disable fortify in santised files and enable it in
    unsanitised files. This at least stops us missing KASAN checking, but
    we lose the fortify checking.

 2) Make the fortify code always call out to real versions. Do this only
    for KASAN, for fear of losing the inlining opportunities we get from
    __builtin_*.

(We can't use kasan_check_{read,write}: because the fortify functions are
_extern inline_, you can't include _static_ inline functions without a
compiler warning. kasan_check_{read,write} are static inline so we can't
use them even when they would otherwise be suitable.)

Take approach 2 and call out to real versions when KASAN is enabled.

Use __underlying_foo to distinguish from __real_foo: __real_foo always
refers to the kernel's implementation of foo, __underlying_foo could be
either the kernel implementation or the __builtin_foo implementation.

This is sometimes enough to make the memcmp test succeed with
FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled. It is at least enough to get the function call
into the module. One more fix is needed to make it reliable: see the next
patch.

[PATCH v3 3/3] kasan: initialise array in kasan_memcmp test

[Daniel Axtens]

memcmp may bail out before accessing all the memory if the buffers
contain differing bytes. kasan_memcmp calls memcmp with a stack array.
Stack variables are not necessarily initialised (in the absence of a
compiler plugin, at least). Sometimes this causes the memcpy to bail
early thus fail to trigger kasan.

Make sure the array initialised to zero in the code.

No other test is dependent on the contents of an array on the stack.

My version of this function contains the following below:

memset(arr, 0, sizeof(arr));

What am I missing?

Ah! It turns out I accidentally removed the memset in patch 1. No idea
why I did that. I'll fix up patch 1 to not remove the memset and drop
this patch.

Thanks, Daniel!

For the series:
Tested-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com>

(Though I will mirror Dmitry's comment[1] on patch 3 -- I also have a
memset() already present in my branch...)

I'd been digging into what turns out to be this issue, which we were
seeing sporadically[2] with the KUnit port of these tests. v7 of the
KUnit port[3] includes your changes, and fixes the issues.

Cheers,
-- David
