<content type='text'>
The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).

Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:

- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
  implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
  stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
  but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
  for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
  many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.

While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and
profilers.

Remove redundant variables.

Note:

This commit changes the coverage for some objects:

  - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN

  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV

I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel
space objects.

<title>x86/purgatory: Switch to the position-independent small code model</title>
<updated>2024-04-20T16:54:59+00:00</updated>

<id>cba786af84a0f9716204e09f518ce3b7ada8555e</id>
<content type='text'>
On x86, the ordinary, position dependent small and kernel code models
only support placement of the executable in 32-bit addressable memory,
due to the use of 32-bit signed immediates to generate references to
global variables. For the kernel, this implies that all global variables
must reside in the top 2 GiB of the kernel virtual address space, where
the implicit address bits 63:32 are equal to sign bit 31.

This means the kernel code model is not suitable for other bare metal
executables such as the kexec purgatory, which can be placed arbitrarily
in the physical address space, where its address may no longer be
representable as a sign extended 32-bit quantity. For this reason,
commit

  e16c2983fba0 ("x86/purgatory: Change compiler flags from -mcmodel=kernel to -mcmodel=large to fix kexec relocation errors")

switched to the large code model, which uses 64-bit immediates for all
symbol references, including function calls, in order to avoid relying
on any assumptions regarding proximity of symbols in the final
executable.

The large code model is rarely used, clunky and the least likely to
operate in a similar fashion when comparing GCC and Clang, so it is best
avoided. This is especially true now that Clang 18 has started to emit
executable code in two separate sections (.text and .ltext), which
triggers an issue in the kexec loading code at runtime.

The SUSE bugzilla fixes tag points to gcc 13 having issues with the
large model too and that perhaps the large model should simply not be
used at all.

Instead, use the position independent small code model, which makes no
assumptions about placement but only about proximity, where all
referenced symbols must be within -/+ 2 GiB, i.e., in range for a
RIP-relative reference. Use hidden visibility to suppress the use of a
GOT, which carries absolute addresses that are not covered by static ELF
relocations, and is therefore incompatible with the kexec loader's
relocation logic.

-flto* implies -ffunction-sections. With LTO enabled, ld.lld generates
multiple .text sections for purgatory.ro:

  $ readelf -S purgatory.ro  | grep " .text"
    [ 1] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000040

    [19] .text.sha224_fina PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00002cc0

This causes WARNING from kexec_purgatory_setup_sechdrs():

  WARNING: CPU: 26 PID: 110894 at kernel/kexec_file.c:919
  kexec_load_purgatory+0x37f/0x390

Fix this by disabling LTO for purgatory.

[ AFAICT, x86 is the only arch that supports LTO and purgatory. ]

We could also fix this with an explicit linker script to rejoin .text.*
sections back into .text. However, given the benefit of LTOing purgatory
is small, simply disable the production of more .text.* sections for now.

-flto* implies -ffunction-sections. With LTO enabled, ld.lld generates
multiple .text sections for purgatory.ro:

  $ readelf -S purgatory.ro  | grep " .text"
    [ 1] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000040
    [ 7] .text.purgatory   PROGBITS         0000000000000000  000020e0
    [ 9] .text.warn        PROGBITS         0000000000000000  000021c0
    [13] .text.sha256_upda PROGBITS         0000000000000000  000022f0
    [15] .text.sha224_upda PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00002be0
    [17] .text.sha256_fina PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00002bf0
    [19] .text.sha224_fina PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00002cc0

This causes WARNING from kexec_purgatory_setup_sechdrs():

  WARNING: CPU: 26 PID: 110894 at kernel/kexec_file.c:919
  kexec_load_purgatory+0x37f/0x390

Fix this by disabling LTO for purgatory.

[ AFAICT, x86 is the only arch that supports LTO and purgatory. ]

We could also fix this with an explicit linker script to rejoin .text.*
sections back into .text. However, given the benefit of LTOing purgatory
is small, simply disable the production of more .text.* sections for now.

Fixes: b33fff07e3e3 ("x86, build: allow LTO to be selected")

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "There are three areas of note:

  A bunch of strlcpy()-&gt;strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
  since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
  ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).

  The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
  globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
  changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
  is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
  coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
  potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
  been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
  details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b.

  The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
  so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
  associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
  elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
  of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
  are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
  macro while we continue to add annotations.

  As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
  such annotations found via Coccinelle:

    https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b

  Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.

  Summary:

   - Fix KMSAN vs FORTIFY in strlcpy/strlcat (Alexander Potapenko)

   - Convert strreplace() to return string start (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Flexible array conversions (Arnd Bergmann, Wyes Karny, Kees Cook)

   - Add missing function prototypes seen with W=1 (Arnd Bergmann)

   - Fix strscpy() kerndoc typo (Arne Welzel)

   - Replace strlcpy() with strscpy() across many subsystems which were
     either Acked by respective maintainers or were trivial changes that
     went ignored for multiple weeks (Azeem Shaikh)

   - Remove unneeded cc-option test for UBSAN_TRAP (Nick Desaulniers)

   - Add KUnit tests for strcat()-family

   - Enable KUnit tests of FORTIFY wrappers under UML

   - Add more complete FORTIFY protections for strlcat()

   - Add missed disabling of FORTIFY for all arch purgatories.

   - Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 globally

   - Tightening UBSAN_BOUNDS when using GCC

   - Improve checkpatch to check for strcpy, strncpy, and fake flex
     arrays

   - Improve use of const variables in FORTIFY

   - Add requested struct_size_t() helper for types not pointers

   - Add __counted_by macro for annotating flexible array size members"

If profile-guided optimization is enabled, the purgatory ends up with
multiple .text sections.  This is not supported by kexec and crashes the
system.

With the addition of -fstrict-flex-arrays=3, struct sha256_state's
trailing array is no longer ignored by CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:

struct sha256_state {
        u32 state[SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE / 4];
        u64 count;
        u8 buf[SHA256_BLOCK_SIZE];
};

This means that the memcpy() calls with "buf" as a destination in
sha256.c's code will attempt to perform run-time bounds checking, which
could lead to calling missing functions, specifically a potential
WARN_ONCE, which isn't callable from purgatory.
