[PATCHSET] saner elf compat

[PATCHSET] saner elf compat

[Al Viro]

	This series deals with the warts in ELF compat on triarch
architectures (x86_64 and mips64, that is).

	x86_64 at least does use compat_binfmt_elf.c for both
32bit ABIs; the way it is done is ugly as hell, though, and more
than slightly brittle (see asm/compat.h for PRSTATUS_SIZE and SET_PR_FPVALID
definitions - IMO that kind of magic is too ugly to live).

	mips64, OTOH, does not use compat_binfmt_elf.c for either of its
32bit ABIs.  It has a couple of analogues (each with include of
../../../fs/binfmt_elf.c, BTW), with quite a bit of ancient cruft
accumulated in those.

	Fortunately, cleanup of i386/x32 mess (first 3 commits in
the series) provides a fairly straightforward way for mips64 to use
fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c for both n32 and o32.

	That stuff had been sitting around since June; lately rdd has
spotted Kconfig problems around COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF selects.  All of them
had been on configs that had COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF != COMPAT && BINFMT_ELF.
For most of the architectures that's impossible to achieve, but some
(sparc, e.g.) can end up with that.  Randy posted a patch adding
if BINFMT_ELF to selects that lacked it, but that looked wrong to me -
why not centralize that logics into fs/Kconfig.binfmt?  IOW, what's
the point of having any such selects in arch/*/Kconfig?

	The answer (for mainline) is that mips compat does *NOT* want
COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF.  Not a problem with that series, though, so I'd
retested it (seems to work, both for x86_64 and mips64, execs and
coredumps for all ABIs alike), with centralization of Kconfig logics
thrown in.

	It's based at 5.10-rc1 and lives in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git#work.elf-compat
I'll post the individual patches in followups.

[PATCH 01/10] binfmt_elf: partially sanitize PRSTATUS_SIZE and SET_PR_FPVALID

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

On 64bit architectures that support 32bit processes there are
two possible layouts for NT_PRSTATUS note in ELF coredumps.
For one thing, several fields are 64bit for native processes
and 32bit for compat ones (pr_sigpend, etc.).  For another,
the register dump is obviously different - the size and number
of registers are not going to be the same for 32bit and 64bit
variants of processor.

Usually that's handled by having two structures - elf_prstatus
for native layout and compat_elf_prstatus for 32bit one.
32bit processes are handled by fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, which
defines a macro called 'elf_prstatus' that expands to compat_elf_prstatus.
Then it includes fs/binfmt_elf.c, which makes all references to
struct elf_prstatus to be textually replaced with struct
compat_elf_prstatus.  Ugly and somewhat brittle, but it works.

However, amd64 is worse - there are _three_ possible layouts.
One for native 64bit processes, another for i386 (32bit) processes
and yet another for x32 (32bit address space with full 64bit
registers).

Both i386 and x32 processes are handled by fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c,
with usual compat_binfmt_elf.c trickery.  However, the layouts
for i386 and x32 are not identical - they have the common beginning,
but the register dump part (pr_reg) is bigger on x32.  Worse, pr_reg
is not the last field - it's followed by int pr_fpvalid, so that
field ends up at different offsets for i386 and x32 layouts.

Fortunately, there's not much code that cares about any of that -
it's all encapsulated in fill_thread_core_info().  Since x32
variant is bigger, we define compat_elf_prstatus to match that
layout.  That way i386 processes have enough space to fit
their layout into.

Moreover, since these layouts are identical prior to pr_reg,
we don't need to distinguish x32 and i386 cases when we are
setting the fields prior to pr_reg.

Filling pr_reg itself is done by calling ->get() method of
appropriate regset, and that method knows what layout (and size)
to use.

We do need to distinguish x32 and i386 cases only for two
things: setting ->pr_fpvalid (offset differs for x32 and
i386) and choosing the right size for our note.

The way it's done is Not Nice, for the lack of more accurate
printable description.  There are two macros (PRSTATUS_SIZE and
SET_PR_FPVALID), that default essentially to sizeof(struct elf_prstatus)
and (S)->pr_fpvalid = 1.  On x86 asm/compat.h provides its own
variants.

Unfortunately, quite a few things go wrong there:
	* PRSTATUS_SIZE doesn't use the normal test for process
being an x32 one (TIF_X32); it compares the size reported by
regset with the size of pr_reg.
	* it hardcodes the sizes of x32 and i386 variants (296 and 144
resp.), so if some change in includes leads to asm/compat.h pulled
in by fs/binfmt_elf.c we are in trouble - it will end up using
the size of x32 variant for 64bit processes.
	* it's in the wrong place; asm/compat.h couldn't define
the structure for i386 layout, since it lacks quite a few types
needed for it.  Hardcoded sizes are largely due to that.

The proper fix would be to have an explicitly defined i386 variant
of structure and have PRSTATUS_SIZE/SET_PR_FPVALID check for
TIF_X32 to choose the variant that should be used.  Unfortunately,
that requires some manipulations of headers; we'll do that later
in the series, but for now let's go with the minimal variant -
rename PRSTATUS_SIZE in asm/compat.h to COMPAT_PRSTATUS_SIZE,
have fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c define PRSTATUS_SIZE to COMPAT_PRSTATUS_SIZE
and use the normal TIF_X32 check in that macro.  The size of i386 variant
is kept hardcoded for now.  Similar story for SET_PR_FPVALID.

[PATCH 02/10] elf_prstatus: collect the common part (everything before pr_reg) into a struct

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Preparations to doing i386 compat elf_prstatus sanely - rather than duplicating
the beginning of compat_elf_prstatus, take these fields into a separate
structure (compat_elf_prstatus_common), so that it could be reused.  Due to
the incestous relationship between binfmt_elf.c and compat_binfmt_elf.c we
need the same shape change done to native struct elf_prstatus, gathering the
fields prior to pr_reg into a new structure (struct elf_prstatus_common).

Fortunately, offset of pr_reg is always a multiple of 16 with no padding
right before it, so it's possible to turn all the stuff prior to it into
a single member without disturbing the layout.

[PATCH 03/10] [elfcore-compat][amd64] clean PRSTATUS_SIZE/SET_PR_FPVALID up properly

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

To get rid of hardcoded size/offset in those macros we need to have
a definition of i386 variant of struct elf_prstatus.  However, we can't
do that in asm/compat.h - the types needed for that are not there and
adding an include of asm/user32.h into asm/compat.h would cause a lot
of mess.

That could be conveniently done in elfcore-compat.h, but currently there
is nowhere to put arch-dependent parts of it - no asm/elfcore-compat.h.
So we introduce a new file (asm/elfcore-compat.h, present on architectures
that have CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELFCORE_COMPAT set, currently only on x86),
have it pulled by linux/elfcore-compat.h and move the definitions there.

As a side benefit, we don't need to worry about accidental inclusion of
that file into binfmt_elf.c itself, so we don't need the dance with
COMPAT_PRSTATUS_SIZE, etc. - only fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c will see
that header.

[PATCH 08/10] mips: don't bother with ELF_CORE_EFLAGS

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

mips coredumps are regset-based, so ELF_CORE_EFLAGS is not used at all -
user_..._view.e_flags is.

[PATCH 09/10] mips compat: switch to compat_binfmt_elf.c

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Like amd64, mips has two 32bit ABIs - o32 and n32.  Unlike amd64,
it does not use compat_binfmt_elf.c for either of those; each
of those ABIs has a binfmt handler of its own, both very similar
to fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c.  And the same technics as we use on
amd64 can be used to make fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c handle both.
	* merge elfo32_check_arch() with elfn32_check_arch(),
make that serve as compat_elf_check_arch().  Note that
SET_PERSONALITY2() is already the same for all ABI variants -
it looks at the elf header to choose the flags to set.
	* add asm/elfcore-compat.h, using the bigger (n32) variant
of elf32_prstatus as compat_elf_prstatus there.
	* make PRSTATUS_SIZE() and SET_PR_FPVALID() choose the
right layout, same as done for amd64.  test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT_REGS)
is used as the predicate.

Voila - we are rid of binfmt_elf{n,o}32.c; fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c is
used, same as for all other ELF-supporting 64bit architectures that
need 32bit compat.

[PATCH 10/10] Kconfig: regularize selection of CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

with mips converted to use of fs/config_binfmt_elf.c, there's no
need to keep selects of that thing all over arch/* - we can simply
turn into def_bool y if COMPAT && BINFMT_ELF (in fs/Kconfig.binfmt)
and get rid of all selects.

Several architectures got those selects wrong (e.g. you could
end up with sparc64 sans BINFMT_ELF, with select violating
dependencies, or with amd64 with X32 and BINFMT_ELF enabled,
but unable to exec any X32 binaries), etc.

Randy Dunlap has spotted some of those; IMO this is simpler than
his fix, but it depends upon the stuff that would need to be
backported, so we might end up using his variant for -stable.

Well, the diffstat looks nice:

and the patches didn't trigger anything for me, but how much did this
get tested? Do you actually have both kinds of 32-bit elf mips
binaries around and a machine to test on?

Linux-mips was cc'd, but I'm adding Thomas B to the cc here explicitly
just so that he has a heads-up on this thing and can go and look at
the mailing list in case it goes to a separate mailbox for him..

Yes (aptitude install gcc-multilib on debian mips64el/stretch sets the toolchain
and libraries just fine, and then it's just a matter of -mabi=n32 passed
to gcc).  "Machine" is qemu-system-mips64el -machine malta -m 1024 -cpu 5KEc
and the things appear to work; I hadn't tried that on the actual hardware.
I do have a Loongson-2 box, but it would take a while to dig it out and
get it up-to-date.

I would certainly appreciate review and testing - this branch sat
around in the "should post it someday" state since June (it was
one of the followups grown from regset work back then), and I'm
_not_ going to ask pulling it without an explicit OK from mips
folks.

BTW, there's something curious going on in ELF binary recognition for
x32.  Unlike other 64bit architectures, here we have a 32bit binary
that successfully passes the native elf_check_arch().  Usually we
either have different EM_... values for 64bit and 32bit (e.g. for ppc
and sparc) or we have an explicit check for ->e_ident[EI_CLASS]
having the right value (ELFCLASS32 or ELFCLASS64 for 32bit and 64bit
binaries resp.)

For x32 that's not true - we use EM_X86_64 for ->e_machine and that's
the only thing the native elf_check_arch() is looking at.  IOW,
it looks like amd64 elf_load_binary() progresses past elf_check_arch()
for x32 binaries.  And gets to load_elf_phdrs(), which would appear
to have a check of its own that should reject the sucker:
        /*
         * If the size of this structure has changed, then punt, since
         * we will be doing the wrong thing.
         */
        if (elf_ex->e_phentsize != sizeof(struct elf_phdr))
                goto out;
After all, ->e_phentsize is going to be 32 (sizeof(struct elf32_phdr)
rather than expected 56 (sizeof(struct elf64_phdr)) and off we bugger,
even though it happens at slightly later point than usual.  Except that
we are looking at struct elf64_hdr ->e_phentsize - in struct elf32_hdr.
I.e. at offset 54, two bytes past the end of in-file struct elf32_hdr.

Usually we won't find 0x38 0x00 in that location, so everything works,
but IMO that's too convoluted.

Peter, is there any reason not to check ->ei_ident[EI_CLASS] in
amd64 elf_check_arch()?  It's a 1-byte load from hot cacheline
(offset 4 and we'd just read the 4 bytes at offsets 0..3) +
compare + branch not taken, so performance impact is pretty much
nil.  I'm not saying it's a security problem or anything of that
sort, just that it makes the analysis more subtle than it ought
to be...

Is it about some malformed homegrown 64bit binaries with BS value
at offset 4?  Confused...

 It may be worth pushing through GDB's gdb.threads/tls-core.exp test case, 
making sure no UNSUPPORTED results have been produced due to resource 
limits preventing a core from being dumped (and no FAILs, of course), with 
o32/n32 native GDB.  This should guarantee our output is still as expected 
by an interpreter.  Sadly I'm currently not set up for such testing though 
eventually I mean to.

I've tested it on real hardware and so far everything looks good.

 I don't think there's a standardised one, just configure with CC/CXX set 
for n32 compilation, e.g.:

$ /path/to/configure CC="gcc -mabi=n32" CXX="g++ -mabi=n32"

(and any other options set as usually).  This has to be with CC/CXX rather 
than CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS so that it is guaranteed to be never overridden with 
any logic that might do any fiddling with compilation options.  This will 
set up the test suite accordingly.

 NB this may already be the compiler's default, depending on how it was 
configured, i.e. if `--with-abi=n32' was used, in which case no extra 
options will be required.  I don't know if any standard MIPS distribution 
does it though; 64-bit MIPS/Debian might.  This will be reported with `gcc 
--help -v', somewhere along the way.

 Let me know if there are issues with this approach.

FWIW, on debian/mips64el (both stretch and buster) the test fails with the
distro kernels (4.9- and 4.19-based) as well as with 5.10-rc1 and
5.10-rc1+that series, all in the same way:
[Current thread is 1 (LWP 4154)]
(gdb) p/x foo
Cannot find thread-local storage for LWP 4154, executable file <pathname>
Cannot find thread-local variables on this target

buster has libc6-2.28, so that should be fine for the test in question
(libthread_db definitely recent enough).  That was n32 gdb; considering
how much time it had taken to build that sucker I hadn't tried o32
yet.

Note that it's not just with native coredumps - gcore-produced ones give
the same result.  That was gdb from binutils-gdb.git; I'm not familiar
with gdb guts to start debugging it, so if you have any suggestions
in that direction that do not include a full rebuild...  In any case,
I won't get around to that until the next week.

Incidentally, build time is bloody awful - 3 days, with qemu-3.1 on
3.5GHz amd64 host, all spent pretty much entirely in userland (both
from guest and host POV).  g++-8 is atrociously slow...

That said, I don't see what in that series could possibly mess the
things up for tls, while leaving the registers working; the only
thing that realistically might've been fucked up is prstatus layout
(and possibly size), and that would've screwed the registers as
well.

... and it smells like the damn thing needs n32 debug info from libthread_db.so
and/or libpthread.so.  Which is not packaged by debian libc6 mips64el build.

Cute...  Completely unrelated, but there's a fun bug in mainline o32
coredumps - say readelf -a core and watch NT_FILE section dump.
Compare that for dumps done on mips32 and mips64 hosts (for the same
o32 binaries, obviously).  Or to gcore(1) results on such processes,
for that matter.

What happens there is that 2aa362c49c31 ("coredump: extend core dump note
section to contain file names of mapped files") that has introduced that

One issue is that testsuite doesn't care about $CC, $CFLAGS or anything
of that sort.  What I'd done was
cat >~/bin/cc-n32 <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/gcc -mabi=n32 "$@"
EOF
chmod +x ~/bin/cc-n32
and add CC_FOR_TARGET="/home/al/bin/cc-n32" in RUNTESTFLAGS.

With that it works.  Moreover, it fixes a test failure on mainline.

Which is bloody embarrassing, since I'd completely missed the
behaviour change - this series was supposed to be an equivalent
transformation.

Anyway, the minimal patch fixing that failure is this one-liner and
unlike the elf-compat series it's trivial to backport:

[mips] fix n32 coredump breakage

Back in 2012, 49ae4d4b113b ("coredump: add a new elf note with siginfo
of the signal") has introduced a new ELF coredump note - NT_FILE.  It contains
a mix of strings and addresses, and addresses are 32bit for 32bit targets
and 64bit for 64bit ones.  Eventually gdb has come to use it.

Biarch targets had been taken care of from the very beginning - the
same commit has added a macro (user_long_t) with default being long
and fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c overriding it to compat_long_t.

Unfortunately, Denis had missed the mips weirdness.  As the result,
on mips64 both o32 and n32 ended up using 64-bit layout.  readelf(1)
is not happy.  More importantly, neither is gdb(1); as the matter
of fact, gdb.thread/tls-core.exp kept complaining.  Note that gcore(1)
is using 32bit layout for n32 case - it's only the kernel n32 coredumps
that get broken NT_FILE note.

NOTE: similar patch is almost certainly needed for o32; I have only
tested it with n32 gdb, though.

So that's not so theoretical - big-endian mips64 userland is unsupported,
but booting the big-endian mips32 userland on mips64 hardware is clearly
meant to work - they even ship a 64bit kernel built for that.

IOW, both O32 and N32 coredumps in 64bit mips kernels have broken
NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO.  And while NT_SIGINFO breakage is really
visible only on b-e, NT_FILE one is common to b-e and l-e.  One of
the effects of the latter is that current gdb fails to work with
threaded coredumps of 32bit processes produced on boxen with 64bit
kernels.  Coredumps generated by gcore(1) are fine...

I think the following ought to be applied.  Comments?

[mips] fix malformed NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO in 32bit coredumps

	Patches that introduced NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO notes back in 2012
had taken care of native (fs/binfmt_elf.c) and compat (fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c)
coredumps; unfortunately, compat on mips (which does not go through the
usual compat_binfmt_elf.c) had not been noticed.

	As the result, both N32 and O32 coredumps on 64bit mips kernels
have those sections malformed enough to confuse the living hell out of
all gdb and readelf versions (up to and including the tip of binutils-gdb.git).

	Longer term solution is to make both O32 and N32 compat use the
regular compat_binfmt_elf.c, but that's too much for backports.  The minimal
solution is to do in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elf[on]32.c the same thing
those patches have done in fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c
