[PATCH v5 0/3] net, mac80211, kernel: enable KCOV remote coverage collection for 802.11 frame handling

[Aleksandr Nogikh]

From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>

This patch series enables remote KCOV coverage collection during
802.11 frames processing. These changes make it possible to perform
coverage-guided fuzzing in search of remotely triggerable bugs.

Normally, KCOV collects coverage information for the code that is
executed inside the system call context. It is easy to identify where
that coverage should go and whether it should be collected at all by
looking at the current process. If KCOV was enabled on that process,
coverage will be stored in a buffer specific to that process.
Howerever, it is not always enough as handling can happen elsewhere
(e.g. in separate kernel threads).

When it is impossible to infer KCOV-related info just by looking at
the currently running process, one needs to manually pass some
information to the code that should be instrumented. The information
takes the form of 64 bit integers (KCOV remote handles). Zero is the
special value that corresponds to an empty handle. More details on
KCOV and remote coverage collection can be found in
Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst.

The series consists of three commits.
1. Apply a minor fix to kcov_common_handle() so that it returns a
valid handle (zero) when called in an interrupt context.
2. Take the remote handle from KCOV and attach it to newly allocated
SKBs as an skb extension. If the allocation happens inside a system
call context, the SKB will be tied to the process that issued the
syscall (if that process is interested in remote coverage collection).
3. Annotate the code that processes incoming 802.11 frames with
kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().

* Collecting remote coverate at ieee80211_rx_list() instead of

[PATCH v5 1/3] kernel: make kcov_common_handle consider the current context

[Aleksandr Nogikh]

From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>

kcov_common_handle is a method that is used to obtain a "default" KCOV
remote handle of the current process. The handle can later be passed
to kcov_remote_start in order to collect coverage for the processing
that is initiated by one process, but done in another. For details see
Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst and comments in kernel/kcov.c.

Presently, if kcov_common_handle is called in an IRQ context, it will
return a handle for the interrupted process. This may lead to
unreliable and incorrect coverage collection.

Adjust the behavior of kcov_common_handle in the following way. If it
is called in a task context, return the common handle for the
currently running task. Otherwise, return 0.

[PATCH v5 2/3] net: add kcov handle to skb extensions

[Aleksandr Nogikh]

From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>

Remote KCOV coverage collection enables coverage-guided fuzzing of the
code that is not reachable during normal system call execution. It is
especially helpful for fuzzing networking subsystems, where it is
common to perform packet handling in separate work queues even for the
packets that originated directly from the user space.

Enable coverage-guided frame injection by adding kcov remote handle to
skb extensions. Default initialization in __alloc_skb and
__build_skb_around ensures that no socket buffer that was generated
during a system call will be missed.

Code that is of interest and that performs packet processing should be
annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().

An alternative approach is to determine kcov_handle solely on the
basis of the device/interface that received the specific socket
buffer. However, in this case it would be impossible to distinguish
between packets that originated during normal background network
processes or were intentionally injected from the user space.

Hi,

This causes skb extensions to be allocated for the allocated skb, but
there are instances that blindly overwrite 'skb->extensions' by invoking
skb_copy_header() after __alloc_skb(). For example, skb_copy(),
__pskb_copy_fclone() and skb_copy_expand(). This results in the skb
extensions being leaked [1].

One possible solution is to try to patch all these instances with
skb_ext_put() before skb_copy_header().

Another possible solution is to convert skb_copy_header() to use
skb_ext_copy() instead of __skb_ext_copy(). It will first drop the
reference on the skb extensions of the new skb, but it assumes that
'skb->active_extensions' is valid. This is not the case in the
skb_clone() path so we should probably zero this field in __skb_clone().

Other suggestions?

Thanks

Aleksandr, why was this made into an skb extension in the first place?

AFAIU this feature is usually always disabled at build time.
For debug builds (test farm /debug kernel etc) its always needed.

If thats the case this u64 should be an sk_buff member, not an
extension.

Yeah, in hindsight I should have looked at how it's used. Not a great
fit for extensions. We can go back, but...

In general I'm not very happy at how this is going. First of all just
setting the handle in a couple of allocs seems to not be enough, skbs
get cloned, reused etc. There were also build problems caused by this
patch and Aleksandr & co where nowhere to be found. Now we find out
this causes leaks, how was that not caught by the syzbot it's supposed
to serve?!

So I'm leaning towards reverting the whole thing. You can attach
kretprobes and record the information you need in BPF maps.

Heh.

I'm not going to object to reverting it (and perhaps redoing it better
later), but I will point out that kretprobe isn't going to work, you
eventually need kcov_remote_start() to be called in strategic points
before processing the skb after it bounced through the system.

IOW, it's not really about serving userland, it's about enabling (and
later disabling) coverage collection for the bits of code it cares
about, mostly because collecting it for _everything_ is going to be too
slow and will mess up the data since for coverage guided fuzzing you
really need the reported coverage data to be only about the injected
fuzz data...

All you need is make kcov_remote_start_common() be BPF-able, like 
the LSM hooks are now, right? And then BPF can return whatever handle 
it pleases.

Or if you don't like BPF or what to KCOV BPF itself in the future you
can roll your own mechanism. The point is - this should be relatively
easily doable out of line...

Not sure I understand. Are you saying something should call
"kcov_remote_start_common()" with, say, the SKB, and leave it to a mass
of bpf hooks to figure out where the SKB got cloned or copied or
whatnot, track that in a map, and then ... no, wait, I don't really see
what you mean, sorry.

IIUC, fundamentally, you have this:

 - at the beginning, a task is tagged with "please collect coverage
   data for this handle"
 - this task creates an SKB, etc, and all of the code that this task
   executes is captured and the coverage data is reported
 - However, the SKB traverses lots of things, gets copied, cloned, or
   whatnot, and eventually leaves the annotated task, say for further
   processing in softirq context or elsewhere.

Now since the whole point is to see what chaos this SKB created from
beginning (allocation) to end (free), since it was filled with fuzzed
data, you now have to figure out where to pick back up when the SKB is
processed further.

This is what the infrastructure was meant to solve. But note that the
SKB might be further cloned etc, so in order to track it you'd have to
(out-of-band) figure out all the possible places where it could
be reallocated, any time the skb pointer could change.

Then, when you know you've got interesting code on your hands, like in
mac80211 that was annotated in patch 3 here, you basically say

  "oohhh, this SKB was annotated before, let's continue capturing
   coverage data here"

(and turn it off again later by the corresponding kcov_remote_stop().


So the only way I could _possibly_ see how to do this would be to

 * capture all possible places where the skb pointer can change
 * still call something like skb_get_kcov_handle() but let it call out
   to a BPF program to query a map or something to figure out if this
   SKB has a handle attached to it

Seems pretty complicated to me though ...

Write the tag into task local storage, or map indexed by PID.

kprobe the right places to record the skb -> handle mapping.

Which is fine.

Ack, you have to figure out all the places anyway, the question is
whether you put probes there or calls in the source code.

Shifting the maintenance burden but also BPF is flexibility.

Yup, the point is you can feed a raw skb pointer (and all other
possible context you may want) to a BPF prog in kcov_remote_start() 
and let BPF/BTF give you the handle it recorded in its maps.

It is more complicated. We can go back to an skb field if this work is
expected to yield results for mac80211. Would you mind sending a patch?

Yeah, true. Though I'd argue also visibility - this stuff is pretty
simple now, if it gets into lots of lines of BPF code to track it that
is maintained "elsewhere", we won't see the bugs in it :-)

And it's kinda a thing that we as kernel developers _should_ be the ones
looking at since it's testing our code.

Yeah, it's possible. Personally, I don't think it's worth the
complexity.

I can do that, but I'm not going to be able to do it now/tonight (GMT+1
here), so probably only Monday/Tuesday or so, sorry.

Oh yea, no worries, took someone a month to notice this is broken, 
as long as it's fixed before the merge window it's fine ;)

I took the liberty of taking patch 2/3 from v2 which was still storing
kcov_handle in sk_buff, and resending with the updates to patch 3/3:
  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201125162455.1690502-1-elver@google.com

Looking at the patch from Marco to move back to a field now I'm
wondering how you run into this, Ido :D

AFAIU the extension is only added if process as a KCOV handle.

Are you using KCOV?

Hi Jakub,

Yes. We have an internal syzkaller instance where this is enabled. See

I see, thanks! The world makes sense again :)

[PATCH v5 3/3] mac80211: add KCOV remote annotations to incoming frame processing

[Aleksandr Nogikh]

From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>

Add KCOV remote annotations to ieee80211_iface_work() and
ieee80211_rx_list(). This will enable coverage-guided fuzzing of
mac80211 code that processes incoming 802.11 frames.

Signed-off-by: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>
---
v4 -> v5:
* Using ieee80211_rx_list() instead of ieee80211_rx().
v1 -> v2:
* The commit now affects ieee80211_rx() instead of
  ieee80211_tasklet_handler().

I have no idea how we'll get this merged - Jakub, do you want to take
the whole series? Or is somebody else responsible for the core kcov
part?

In any case,

Typically core kcov changes have been going via the -mm tree.

Andrey has been making most changes to KCOV recently, so if there are
no pending changes that conflict, I don't see it's a problem for this
whole series to go through networking. I think the other series that
Andrey had been working on has been changed to only touch
drivers/usb/, so there should be no conflicts pending.

Dmitry, Andrey, is that reasonable?

Yes, sounds good. FTR, USB kcov changes go through the usb tree.

Applied, thanks.
