  • When the kernel is compiled with Clang, -fsanitize=bounds expands to
    -fsanitize=array-bounds and -fsanitize=local-bounds.

    Enabling -fsanitize=local-bounds with Clang has the unfortunate
    side-effect of inserting traps; this goes back to its original intent,
    which was as a hardening and not a debugging feature [1]. The same
    feature made its way into -fsanitize=bounds, but the traps remained. For
    that reason, -fsanitize=bounds was split into 'array-bounds' and
    'local-bounds' [2].

    Since 'local-bounds' doesn't behave like a normal sanitizer, enable it
    with Clang only if trapping behaviour was requested by
    CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y.

    Add the UBSAN_BOUNDS_LOCAL config to Kconfig.ubsan to enable the
    'local-bounds' option by default when UBSAN_TRAP is enabled.

  • Move CFLAGS_KASAN*, CFLAGS_UBSAN, CFLAGS_KCSAN to Makefile.kasan,
    Makefile.ubsan, Makefile.kcsan, respectively.

    This commit also avoids the same -fsanitize=* flags being added to
    CFLAGS_UBSAN multiple times.

    Prior to this commit, the ubsan flags were appended by the '+='
    operator, without any initialization. Some build targets such as
    'make bindeb-pkg' recurses to the top Makefile, and ended up with
    adding the same flags to CFLAGS_UBSAN twice.

    Clear CFLAGS_UBSAN with ':=' to make it a simply expanded variable.
    This is better than a recursively expanded variable, which evaluates
    $(call cc-option, ...) multiple times before Kbuild starts descending
    to subdirectories.

  • In order to do kernel builds with the bounds checker individually
    available, introduce CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS, with the remaining options under
    CONFIG_UBSAN_MISC.

    For example, using this, we can start to expand the coverage syzkaller is
    providing. Right now, all of UBSan is disabled for syzbot builds because
    taken as a whole, it is too noisy. This will let us focus on one feature
    at a time.

    For the bounds checker specifically, this provides a mechanism to
    eliminate an entire class of array overflows with close to zero
    performance overhead (I cannot measure a difference). In my (mostly)
    defconfig, enabling bounds checking adds ~4200 checks to the kernel.
    Performance changes are in the noise, likely due to the branch predictors
    optimizing for the non-fail path.

    Some notes on the bounds checker:

    - it does not instrument {mem,str}*()-family functions, it only
    instruments direct indexed accesses (e.g. "foo[i]"). Dealing with
    the {mem,str}*()-family functions is a work-in-progress around
    CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE[1].

    - it ignores flexible array members, including the very old single
    byte (e.g. "int foo[1];") declarations. (Note that GCC's
    implementation appears to ignore _all_ trailing arrays, but Clang only
    ignores empty, 0, and 1 byte arrays[2].)

  • Patch series "ubsan: Split out bounds checker", v5.

    This splits out the bounds checker so it can be individually used. This
    is enabled in Android and hopefully for syzbot. Includes LKDTM tests for
    behavioral corner-cases (beyond just the bounds checker), and adjusts
    ubsan and kasan slightly for correct panic handling.

    This patch (of 6):

    The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer can operate in two modes: warning
    reporting mode via lib/ubsan.c handler calls, or trap mode, which uses
    __builtin_trap() as the handler. Using lib/ubsan.c means the kernel image
    is about 5% larger (due to all the debugging text and reporting structures
    to capture details about the warning conditions). Using the trap mode,
    the image size changes are much smaller, though at the loss of the
    "warning only" mode.

    In order to give greater flexibility to system builders that want minimal
    changes to image size and are prepared to deal with kernel code being
    aborted and potentially destabilizing the system, this introduces
    CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP. The resulting image sizes comparison:

    text data bss dec hex filename

    19712181 6284181 18366540 44362902 2a4ec96 vmlinux.ubsan-trap

    CONFIG_UBSAN=y: image +4.8% (text +2.3%, data +18.9%)
    CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y: image +0.2% (text +0.9%, data +1.6%)

    Additionally adjusts the CONFIG_UBSAN Kconfig help for clarity and removes
    the mention of non-existing boot param "ubsan_handle".

  • With gcc-8 fsanitize=null become very noisy. GCC started to complain
    about things like &a->b, where 'a' is NULL pointer. There is no NULL
    dereference, we just calculate address to struct member. It's
    technically undefined behavior so UBSAN is correct to report it. But as
    long as there is no real NULL-dereference, I think, we should be fine.

    -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag should protect us from any
    consequences. So let's just no use -fsanitize=null as it's not useful
    for us. If there is a real NULL-deref we will see crash. Even if
    userspace mapped something at NULL (root can do this), with things like
    SMAP should catch the issue.

  • 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.

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables
    enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it
    also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation
    of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases
    [2].

    Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false
    positives, and in commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized
    when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that
    was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. This drastically reduced the number
    of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had
    the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig'
    builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and
    remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed.

    With commit 877417e6ffb9 ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
    definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7
    and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in
    an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings
    for ARM randconfig builds.

    However, commit 6e8d666e9253 ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning
    globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for
    all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had
    not addressed until then. This caused a lot of actual bugs to get
    merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during
    the v4.9 development cycle. Most of these are actual bugs, some are for
    correct code that is safe because it is only called under external
    constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees,
    and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can
    obviously never happen.

    I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected
    all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can
    provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is
    interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch
    the actual bugs earlier.

    This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now
    brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into
    mainline without introducing false positives. A follow-up patch enables
    it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because
    of false-positives.

  • Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
    it generates a lot of false positives. But some had not, and it was
    still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.

    Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
    false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
    that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
    noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

    The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
    that causes more problems than the warning can solve.

    If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
    re-enable this warning. But as is, we're better off without it, and I
    want to be able to see the *real* warnings.

  • -fsanitize=* options makes GCC less smart than usual and increase number
    of 'maybe-uninitialized' false-positives. So this patch does two things:

    * Add -Wno-maybe-uninitialized to CFLAGS_UBSAN which will disable all
    such warnings for instrumented files.

    * Remove CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL from all[yes|mod]config builds. So
    the all[yes|mod]config build goes without -fsanitize=* and still with
    -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

  • 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.

    undefined shifts:
