  • commit 1c23b4108d716cc848b38532063a8aca4f86add8 upstream.

    gcc-8 complains about the prototype for this function:

    lib/ubsan.c:432:1: error: ignoring attribute 'noreturn' in declaration of a built-in function '__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable' because it conflicts with attribute 'const' [-Werror=attributes]

    This is actually a GCC's bug. In GCC internals
    __ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable() declared with both 'noreturn' and
    'const' attributes instead of only 'noreturn':

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84210

    Workaround this by removing the noreturn attribute.

  • Similarly to type mismatch checks, new GCC 8.x and Clang also changed for
    ABI for returns_nonnull checks. While we can update our code to conform
    the new ABI it's more reasonable to just remove it. Because it's just
    dead code, we don't have any single user of returns_nonnull attribute in
    the whole kernel.

    And AFAIU the advantage that this attribute could bring would be mitigated
    by -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks cflag that we use to build the kernel.
    So it's unlikely we will have a lot of returns_nonnull attribute in
    future.

    So let's just remove the code, it has no use.

  • UBSAN=y fails to build with new GCC/clang:

    arch/x86/kernel/head64.o: In function `sanitize_boot_params':
    arch/x86/include/asm/bootparam_utils.h:37: undefined reference to `__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1'

    because Clang and GCC 8 slightly changed ABI for 'type mismatch' errors.
    Compiler now uses new __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1() function with
    slightly modified 'struct type_mismatch_data'.

    Let's add new 'struct type_mismatch_data_common' which is independent from
    compiler's layout of 'struct type_mismatch_data'. And make
    __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch[_v1]() functions transform compiler-dependent
    type mismatch data to our internal representation. This way, we can
    support both old and new compilers with minimal amount of change.

  • handle_object_size_mismatch() used %pk to format a kernel pointer with
    pr_err(). This seemed to be a misspelling for %pK, but using this to
    format a kernel pointer does not make much sence here.

    Therefore use %p instead, like in handle_missaligned_access().

  • UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
    (UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
    operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected)
    __ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.

    So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements
    ubsan handlers printing errors.

    GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
    option and its suboptions).
    However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
    Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

    [1] - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.0/gcc/Debugging-Options.html

    [3] - http://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/10/16/gcc-undefined-behavior-sanitizer-ubsan/

    Issues which UBSAN has found thus far are:

    Found bugs:

    * out-of-bounds access - 97840cb67ff5 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: fix
    insufficient validation in nfnetlink_bind")

    undefined shifts:

    * d48458d4a768 ("jbd2: use a better hash function for the revoke
    table")

    * 10632008b9e1 ("clockevents: Prevent shift out of bounds")

    * 'x << -1' shift in ext4 -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/

    * undefined rol32(0) -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/

    * undefined dirty_ratelimit calculation -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/

    * undefined roundown_pow_of_two(0) -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/

    * [WONTFIX] undefined shift in __bpf_prog_run -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/

    WONTFIX here because it should be fixed in bpf program, not in kernel.

    signed overflows:

    * 32a8df4e0b33f ("sched: Fix odd values in effective_load()
    calculations")

    * mul overflow in ntp -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/

    * incorrect conversion into rtc_time in rtc_time64_to_tm() -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/

    * unvalidated timespec in io_getevents() -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/

    * [NOTABUG] signed overflow in ktime_add_safe() -
    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/
