2021-07-19printk: Userspace format indexing supportChris Down
We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their functionality that works as follows: 1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole; 2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message; 3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat. As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important that we get them right. While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk. Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential. As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to silently fail. One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation, many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its future presence in the long-term. This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to remain in production for longer than would be desirable. Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers, each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as much. This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at <debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines: $ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux # <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format" <5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n" <4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n" <6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n" <6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n" <6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n" This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic. There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself, and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

2021-07-08module: add printk formats to add module build ID to stacktracesStephen Boyd
Let's make kernel stacktraces easier to identify by including the build ID[1] of a module if the stacktrace is printing a symbol from a module. This makes it simpler for developers to locate a kernel module's full debuginfo for a particular stacktrace. Combined with scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the matching debuginfo from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace that match the module. This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the kernel crashes are recorded in something like console-ramoops and the recovery kernel/modules are different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on the device due to space concerns (the debuginfo can be too large for space limited devices). Originally, I put this on the %pS format, but that was quickly rejected given that %pS is used in other places such as ftrace where build IDs aren't meaningful. There was some discussions on the list to put every module build ID into the "Modules linked in:" section of the stacktrace message but that quickly becomes very hard to read once you have more than three or four modules linked in. It also provides too much information when we don't expect each module to be traversed in a stacktrace. Having the build ID for modules that aren't important just makes things messy. Splitting it to multiple lines for each module quickly explodes the number of lines printed in an oops too, possibly wrapping the warning off the console. And finally, trying to stash away each module used in a callstack to provide the ID of each symbol printed is cumbersome and would require changes to each architecture to stash away modules and return their build IDs once unwinding has completed. Instead, we opt for the simpler approach of introducing new printk formats '%pS[R]b' for "pointer symbolic backtrace with module build ID" and '%pBb' for "pointer backtrace with module build ID" and then updating the few places in the architecture layer where the stacktrace is printed to use this new format.

2021-05-17module: check for exit sections in layout_sections() instead of ↵Jessica Yu
module_init_section() Previously, when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, the module loader just does not attempt to load exit sections since it never expects that any code in those sections will ever execute. However, dynamic code patching (alternatives, jump_label and static_call) can have sites in __exit code, even if __exit is never executed. Therefore __exit must be present at runtime, at least for as long as __init code is. Commit 33121347fb1c ("module: treat exit sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD") solves the requirements of jump_labels and static_calls by putting the exit sections in the init region of the module so that they are at least present at init, and discarded afterwards. It does this by including a check for exit sections in module_init_section(), so that it also returns true for exit sections, and the module loader will automatically sort them in the init region of the module. However, the solution there was not completely arch-independent. ARM is a special case where it supplies its own module_{init, exit}_section() functions. Instead of pushing the exit section checks into module_init_section(), just implement the exit section check in layout_sections(), so that we don't have to touch arch-dependent code.

2021-04-08add support for Clang CFISami Tolvanen
This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored function pointers. For more details, see: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between independently compiled components. With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address() to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x. Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables, the compiler renames each address-taken function to <function>.cfi and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes __cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler generates a local jump table entry <function>.cfi_jt for each address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function with the address of the jump table entry. Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local to each component, they break cross-module function address equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module, it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other components. CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute. Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI. By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but should only be enabled during development.

2021-03-29module: treat exit sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOADJessica Yu
Dynamic code patching (alternatives, jump_label and static_call) can have sites in __exit code, even it __exit is never executed. Therefore __exit must be present at runtime, at least for as long as __init code is. Additionally, for jump_label and static_call, the __exit sites must also identify as within_module_init(), such that the infrastructure is aware to never touch them after module init -- alternatives are only ran once at init and hence don't have this particular constraint. By making __exit identify as __init for MODULE_UNLOAD, the above is satisfied. So, when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD, the section ordering should look like the following, with the .exit sections moved to the init region of the module. Core section allocation order: .text .rodata __ksymtab_gpl __ksymtab_strings .note.* sections .bss .data .gnu.linkonce.this_module Init section allocation order: .init.text .exit.text .symtab .strtab [jeyu: thanks to Peter Zijlstra for most of changelog] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YFiuphGw0RKehWsQ@gunter/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210323142756.11443-1-jeyu@kernel.org Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@kernel.org>

2021-01-19module: harden ELF info handlingFrank van der Linden
5fdc7db644 ("module: setup load info before module_sig_check()") moved the ELF setup, so that it was done before the signature check. This made the module name available to signature error messages. However, the checks for ELF correctness in setup_load_info are not sufficient to prevent bad memory references due to corrupted offset fields, indices, etc. So, there's a regression in behavior here: a corrupt and unsigned (or badly signed) module, which might previously have been rejected immediately, can now cause an oops/crash. Harden ELF handling for module loading by doing the following: - Move the signature check back up so that it comes before ELF initialization. It's best to do the signature check to see if we can trust the module, before using the ELF structures inside it. This also makes checks against info->len more accurate again, as this field will be reduced by the length of the signature in mod_check_sig(). The module name is now once again not available for error messages during the signature check, but that seems like a fair tradeoff. - Check if sections have offset / size fields that at least don't exceed the length of the module. - Check if sections have section name offsets that don't fall outside the section name table. - Add a few other sanity checks against invalid section indices, etc. This is not an exhaustive consistency check, but the idea is to at least get through the signature and blacklist checks without crashing because of corrupted ELF info, and to error out gracefully for most issues that would have caused problems later on.

2021-01-18module: Ignore _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ when warning for undefined symbolsFangrui Song
clang-12 -fno-pic (since https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/a084c0388e2a59b9556f2de0083333232da3f1d6) can emit `call __stack_chk_fail@PLT` instead of `call __stack_chk_fail` on x86. The two forms should have identical behaviors on x86-64 but the former causes GNU as<2.37 to produce an unreferenced undefined symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. (On x86-32, there is an R_386_PC32 vs R_386_PLT32 difference but the linker behavior is identical as far as Linux kernel is concerned.) Simply ignore _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ for now, like what scripts/mod/modpost.c:ignore_undef_symbol does. This also fixes the problem for gcc/clang -fpie and -fpic, which may emit `call foo@PLT` for external function calls on x86. Note: ld -z defs and dynamic loaders do not error for unreferenced undefined symbols so the module loader is reading too much. If we ever need to ignore more symbols, the code should be refactored to ignore unreferenced symbols.

The module loader was sending a uevent before the module was fully initialized (i.e., before its init function has been called).

2020-12-09module: delay kobject uevent until after module init callJessica Yu
Apparently there has been a longstanding race between udev/systemd and the module loader. Currently, the module loader sends a uevent right after sysfs initialization, but before the module calls its init function. However, some udev rules expect that the module has initialized already upon receiving the uevent. This race has been triggered recently (see link in references) in some systemd mount unit files. For instance, the configfs module creates the /sys/kernel/config mount point in its init function, however the module loader issues the uevent before this happens. sys-kernel-config.mount expects to be able to mount /sys/kernel/config upon receipt of the module loading uevent, but if the configfs module has not called its init function yet, then this directory will not exist and the mount unit fails. A similar situation exists for sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount, as the fuse sysfs mount point is created during the fuse module's init function. If udev is faster than module initialization then the mount unit would fail in a similar fashion. To fix this race, delay the module KOBJ_ADD uevent until after the module has finished calling its init routine.

2020-10-05fs/kernel_file_read: Add "offset" arg for partial readsKees Cook
To perform partial reads, callers of kernel_read_file*() must have a non-NULL file_size argument and a preallocated buffer. The new "offset" argument can then be used to seek to specific locations in the file to fill the buffer to, at most, "buf_size" per call. Where possible, the LSM hooks can report whether a full file has been read or not so that the contents can be reasoned about.

2020-10-05LSM: Introduce kernel_post_load_data() hookKees Cook
There are a few places in the kernel where LSMs would like to have visibility into the contents of a kernel buffer that has been loaded or read. While security_kernel_post_read_file() (which includes the buffer) exists as a pairing for security_kernel_read_file(), no such hook exists to pair with security_kernel_load_data(). Earlier proposals for just using security_kernel_post_read_file() with a NULL file argument were rejected (i.e. "file" should always be valid for the security_..._file hooks, but it appears at least one case was left in the kernel during earlier refactoring. (This will be fixed in a subsequent patch.) Since not all cases of security_kernel_load_data() can have a single contiguous buffer made available to the LSM hook (e.g. kexec image segments are separately loaded), there needs to be a way for the LSM to reason about its expectations of the hook coverage. In order to handle this, add a "contents" argument to the "kernel_load_data" hook that indicates if the newly added "kernel_post_load_data" hook will be called with the full contents once loaded. That way, LSMs requiring full contents can choose to unilaterally reject "kernel_load_data" with contents=false (which is effectively the existing hook coverage), but when contents=true they can allow it and later evaluate the "kernel_post_load_data" hook once the buffer is loaded. With this change, LSMs can gain coverage over non-file-backed data loads (e.g. init_module(2) and firmware userspace helper), which will happen in subsequent patches. Additionally prepare IMA to start processing these cases.

But mod doesn't do extra explain on this error either. - ENOMEM The only error which needs no explain.
