Subject: [PATCH v2] security: disable FORTIFY_SOURCE on clang
Date: Tue,  5 May 2020 18:14:53 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200506001453.764332-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202005051617.F9B32B5526@keescook>

clang-10 has a broken optimization stage that doesn't allow the
compiler to prove at compile time that certain memcpys are within
bounds, and thus the outline memcpy is always called, resulting in
horrific performance, and in some cases, excessive stack frame growth.
Here's a simple reproducer:

    typedef unsigned long size_t;
    void *c(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n) __asm__("memcpy");
    extern inline __attribute__((gnu_inline)) void *memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n) { return c(dest, src, n); }
    void blah(char *a)
    {
      unsigned long long b[10], c[10];
      int i;

      memcpy(b, a, sizeof(b));
      for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        c[i] = b[i] ^ b[9 - i];
      for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        b[i] = c[i] ^ a[i];
      memcpy(a, b, sizeof(b));
    }

Compile this with clang-9 and clang-10 and observe:

zx2c4@thinkpad /tmp/curve25519-hacl64-stack-frame-size-test $ clang-10 -Wframe-larger-than=0 -O3 -c b.c -o c10.o
b.c:5:6: warning: stack frame size of 104 bytes in function 'blah' [-Wframe-larger-than=]
void blah(char *a)
     ^
1 warning generated.
zx2c4@thinkpad /tmp/curve25519-hacl64-stack-frame-size-test $ clang-9 -Wframe-larger-than=0 -O3 -c b.c -o c9.o

Looking at the disassembly of c10.o and c9.o, one can see that c9.o is
properly optimized in the obvious way one would expect, while c10.o has
blown up and includes extern calls to memcpy.

But actually, for versions of clang earlier than 10, fortify source
mostly does nothing. So, between being broken and doing nothing, it
probably doesn't make sense to pretend to offer this option. So, this
commit just disables it entirely when compiling with clang.
