Subject: [PATCH v4] kcov, usb: only collect coverage from __usb_hcd_giveback_urb in softirq
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2020 15:57:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f3a7a153f0719cb53ec385b16e912798bd3e4cf9.1602856358.git.andreyknvl@google.com> (raw)

Currently there's a KCOV remote coverage collection section in
__usb_hcd_giveback_urb(). Initially that section was added based on the
assumption that usb_hcd_giveback_urb() can only be called in interrupt
context as indicated by a comment before it. This is what happens when
syzkaller is fuzzing the USB stack via the dummy_hcd driver.

As it turns out, it's actually valid to call usb_hcd_giveback_urb() in task
context, provided that the caller turned off the interrupts; USB/IP does
exactly that. This can lead to a nested KCOV remote coverage collection
sections both trying to collect coverage in task context. This isn't
supported by KCOV, and leads to a WARNING.

Change __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() to only call kcov_remote_*() callbacks
when it's being executed in a softirq. As the result, the coverage from
USB/IP related usb_hcd_giveback_urb() calls won't be collected, but the
WARNING is fixed.

A potential future improvement would be to support nested remote coverage
collection sections, but this patch doesn't address that.

Changes v3->v4:
- Don't make any kcov changes, do a softirq context check in usb code
  instead.
