I would like to introduce the latent_entropy gcc plugin. This plugin mitigates
the problem of the kernel having too little entropy during and after boot
for generating crypto keys.

This plugin mixes random values into the latent_entropy global variable
in functions marked by the __latent_entropy attribute.
The value of this global variable is added to the kernel entropy pool
to increase the entropy.

It is a CII project supported by the Linux Foundation.

The latent_entropy plugin was ported from grsecurity/PaX originally written by
the PaX Team. You can find more about the plugin here:
https://grsecurity.net/pipermail/grsecurity/2012-July/001093.html

The plugin supports all gcc version from 4.5 to 6.0.

I do some changes above the PaX version. The important one is mixing
the stack pointer into the global variable too.
You can find more about the changes here:
https://github.com/ephox-gcc-plugins/latent_entropy

This patch set is based on the "Introduce GCC plugin infrastructure" patch set (v9 next-20160520).

Emese Revfy (4):
 Add support for passing gcc plugin arguments
 Add the latent_entropy gcc plugin
 Mark functions with the latent_entropy attribute
 Add the extra_latent_entropy kernel parameter


Changes from v2:
  * Moved the passing of gcc plugin arguments into a separate patch
    (Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>)
  * Mix the global entropy variable with the stack pointer (latent_entropy_plugin.c)
  * Handle tail calls (latent_entropy_plugin.c)
  * Fix some indentation related warnings suggested by checkpatch.pl (latent_entropy_plugin.c)
  * Commented some latent_entropy plugin code
    (Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>)

Changes from v1:
  * Remove unnecessary ifdefs
    (Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>)
  * Separate the two definitions of add_latent_entropy()
    (Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>)
  * Removed unnecessary global variable (latent_entropy_plugin.c)
  * About the latent_entropy gcc attribute (latent_entropy_plugin.c)
  * Measure the boot time performance impact of the latent_entropy plugin (arch/Kconfig)

This plugin mitigates the problem of the kernel having too little entropy during
and after boot for generating crypto keys.

It creates a local variable in every marked function. The value of this variable is
modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and
random values (gcc generates them at compile time and the stack pointer at runtime).
It depends on the control flow (e.g., loops, conditions).

Before the function returns the plugin writes this local variable
into the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable is
added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork().

The latent_entropy gcc attribute can be only on functions and variables.
If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it. If the attribute
is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with a random value.
The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

These functions have been selected because they are init functions or
are called at random times or they have variable loops.

When extra_latent_entropy is passed on the kernel command line,
entropy will be extracted from up to the first 4GB of RAM while the
runtime memory allocator is being initialized.

Based on work created by the PaX Team.

This doesn't look right to me: these are CFLAGS_REMOVE_* entries, and
I think you want to _add_ the DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN to the
CFLAGS here.

from scripts/Makefile.lib:
_c_flags       = $(filter-out $(CFLAGS_REMOVE_$(basetarget).o), $(orig_c_flags))

This continues to look great to me, thanks for all the added comments
and improvements.

One thing I'd still really like to see is that each patch passes
script/checkpatch.pl with as few issues as possible. The >80 character
lines are a problem, and I think they impede readability. Quoting from
Documentation/CodingStyle:


 The limit on the length of lines is 80 columns and this is a strongly
 preferred limit.

 Statements longer than 80 columns will be broken into sensible chunks, unless
 exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability and does not hide
 information. Descendants are always substantially shorter than the parent and
 are placed substantially to the right. The same applies to function headers
 with a long argument list. However, never break user-visible strings such as
 printk messages, because that breaks the ability to grep for them.


Personally, I'm okay with exceptions where they make sense, but they
should be exceptions, as opposed to being common. Right now in this
series, there are a lot of cases of long lines even in places where it
isn't code, like in commit messages and Kconfig text.

Here's the current output from checkpatch.pl:

0002-Add-the-latent_entropy-gcc-plugin.patch
total: 5 errors, 54 warnings, 702 lines checked

0003-Mark-functions-with-the-latent_entropy-attribute.patch
total: 2 errors, 8 warnings, 0 checks, 197 lines checked

0004-Add-the-extra_latent_entropy-kernel-parameter.patch
total: 0 errors, 3 warnings, 65 lines checked

The 54 warnings in the plugin should get vastly reduced. You can
ignore things that aren't correct, like:

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses
#148: FILE: include/linux/init.h:42:
+#define __init         __section(.init.text) __cold notrace __latent_entropy

Obviously __init isn't a "regular" macro, etc. And other misparsings
can be ignored, like:

ERROR: spaces required around that '>' (ctx:VxW)
#310: FILE: scripts/gcc-plugins/latent_entropy_plugin.c:127:
+       vec<constructor_elt, va_gc> *vals;
                                  ^
since checkpatch doesn't know about such things.

But things like this should be fixed:

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#157: FILE: include/linux/init.h:95:
+#define __meminit        __section(.meminit.text) __cold notrace
__latent_entropy

I'd expect it to look like:

#define __meminit        __section(.meminit.text) __cold notrace \
                                                  __latent_entropy

And for function declarations:

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#185: FILE: kernel/fork.c:409:
+static __latent_entropy int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm, struct
mm_struct *oldmm)

static __latent_entropy int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm,
                                     struct mm_struct *oldmm)

and for long code lines:

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#774: FILE: scripts/gcc-plugins/latent_entropy_plugin.c:591:
+               register_callback(plugin_name,
PLUGIN_REGISTER_GGC_ROOTS, NULL, (void *)&gt_ggc_r_gt_latent_entropy);

                register_callback(plugin_name, PLUGIN_REGISTER_GGC_ROOTS,
                                  NULL, (void *)&gt_ggc_r_gt_latent_entropy);

Cases of long text lines are an exception, though:

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#322: FILE: scripts/gcc-plugins/latent_entropy_plugin.c:139:
+                       error("variable %qD with %qE attribute must
not be initialized", *node, name);

This should leave the text unbroken, but wrap the next part:

                        error("variable %qD with %qE attribute must
not be initialized",
                              *node, name);

Thanks!

I think the code looks worse when it is truncated to 80 columns but
I'll do it and resend the patches.

Yup, that looks correct, thanks!

Yup, I understand your concerns, but since we're optimizing for
readability by a larger audience that has agreed to the guidelines in
CodingStyle, this is what we get. :)

One area I'm unclear on with kernel coding style, though, is if
splitting all the stuff prior to function name onto a separate line is
"acceptable", since that solves most of the long lines where
__latent_entropy has been added. For example, I don't know which is
better:

All on one line (gmail may split this, but my intention is all one line):

static __latent_entropy void rcu_process_callbacks(struct
softirq_action *unused)

Types and attributes on a separate line:

static __latent_entropy void
rcu_process_callbacks(struct softirq_action *unused)

All arguments on the next line:

static __latent_entropy void rcu_process_callbacks(
                                                          struct
softirq_action *unused)


Greg, do you have a better sense of how to split (or not split) these
kinds of long lines?

Another option is to add __latent_entropy the same way most
__printf uses are done - on a separate line before the function

__latent_entropy
static void foo(...)
