<title>Compiler Attributes: add __alloc_size() for better bounds checking</title>
<updated>2021-11-06T20:30:33+00:00</updated>

<id>86cffecdeaa278444870c8745ab166a65865dbf0</id>
<content type='text'>
GCC and Clang can use the "alloc_size" attribute to better inform the
results of __builtin_object_size() (for compile-time constant values).
Clang can additionally use alloc_size to inform the results of
__builtin_dynamic_object_size() (for run-time values).

Because GCC sees the frequent use of struct_size() as an allocator size
argument, and notices it can return SIZE_MAX (the overflow indication),
it complains about these call sites overflowing (since SIZE_MAX is
greater than the default -Walloc-size-larger-than=PTRDIFF_MAX).  This
isn't helpful since we already know a SIZE_MAX will be caught at
run-time (this was an intentional design).  To deal with this, we must
disable this check as it is both a false positive and redundant.  (Clang
does not have this warning option.)

Unfortunately, just checking the -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than is not
sufficient to make the __alloc_size attribute behave correctly under
older GCC versions.  The attribute itself must be disabled in those
situations too, as there appears to be no way to reliably silence the
SIZE_MAX constant expression cases for GCC versions less than 9.1:

   In file included from ./include/linux/resource_ext.h:11,

Specifically:
 '-Wno-alloc-size-larger-than' is not correctly handled by GCC &lt; 9.1
    https://godbolt.org/z/hqsfG7q84 (doesn't disable)
    https://godbolt.org/z/P9jdrPTYh (doesn't admit to not knowing about option)
    https://godbolt.org/z/465TPMWKb (only warns when other warnings appear)

 '-Walloc-size-larger-than=18446744073709551615' is not handled by GCC &lt; 8.2
    https://godbolt.org/z/73hh1EPxz (ignores numeric value)

Since anything marked with __alloc_size would also qualify for marking
with __malloc, just include __malloc along with it to avoid redundant
markings.  (Suggested by Linus Torvalds.)

Finally, make sure checkpatch.pl doesn't get confused about finding the
__alloc_size attribute on functions.  (Thanks to Joe Perches.)

<title>compiler-gcc.h: Define __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ under hwaddress sanitizer</title>
<updated>2021-10-21T08:37:46+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Kees Cook</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=9a48e7564ac83fb0f1d5b0eac5fe8a7af62da398'/>
<id>9a48e7564ac83fb0f1d5b0eac5fe8a7af62da398</id>
<content type='text'>
When Clang is using the hwaddress sanitizer, it sets __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
explicitly:

 #if __has_feature(address_sanitizer) || __has_feature(hwaddress_sanitizer)
 /* Emulate GCC's __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ flag */
 #define __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
 #endif

Once hwaddress sanitizer was added to GCC, however, a separate define
was created, __SANITIZE_HWADDRESS__. The kernel is expecting to find
__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ in either case, though, and the existing string
macros break on supported architectures:

 #if (defined(CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC) || defined(CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS)) &amp;&amp; \
          !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__)

where as other architectures (like arm32) have no idea about hwaddress
sanitizer and just check for __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__:

 #if defined(CONFIG_KASAN) &amp;&amp; !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__)

This would lead to compiler foritfy self-test warnings when building
with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y:

warning: unsafe memmove() usage lacked '__read_overflow2' symbol in lib/test_fortify/read_overflow2-memmove.c
warning: unsafe memcpy() usage lacked '__write_overflow' symbol in lib/test_fortify/write_overflow-memcpy.c
...

Sort this out by also defining __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ in GCC under the
hwaddress sanitizer.

Since all compilers support __builtin_object_size(), and there is only
one user of __compiletime_object_size, remove it to avoid the needless
indirection. This lets Clang reason about check_copy_size() correctly.

version to 5.1.

This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want
to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before.

Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I
had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a
fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch
series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem.

The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but
honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on.
We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about
compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a
good thing.

I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that
we no longer support gcc-4.x.

As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade
we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and
finally start using local loop declarations etc.  But this series does
_not_ yet do that.

Once upgrading the minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1, we can drop
the fallback code for !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW.

This is effectively a revert of commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable
builtin overflow checkers and add fallback code")

Clang 14 will add support for __attribute__((__error__(""))) and
__attribute__((__warning__(""))). To make use of these in
__compiletime_error and __compiletime_warning (as used by BUILD_BUG and
friends) for newer clang and detect/fallback for older versions of
clang, move these to compiler_attributes.h and guard them with
__has_attribute preprocessor guards.

<title>kcov: add __no_sanitize_coverage to fix noinstr for all architectures</title>

Until now no compiler supported an attribute to disable coverage
instrumentation as used by KCOV.

To work around this limitation on x86, noinstr functions have their
coverage instrumentation turned into nops by objtool.  However, this
solution doesn't scale automatically to other architectures, such as
arm64, which are migrating to use the generic entry code.

Clang [1] and GCC [2] have added support for the attribute recently.

[2] https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=cec4d4a6782c9bd8d071839c50a239c49caca689
The changes will appear in Clang 13 and GCC 12.

Add __no_sanitize_coverage for both compilers, and add it to noinstr.

Note: In the Clang case, __has_feature(coverage_sanitizer) is only true if
the feature is enabled, and therefore we do not require an additional
defined(CONFIG_KCOV) (like in the GCC case where __has_attribute(..) is
always true) to avoid adding redundant attributes to functions if KCOV is
off.  That being said, compilers that support the attribute will not
generate errors/warnings if the attribute is redundantly used; however,
where possible let's avoid it as it reduces preprocessed code size and
associated compile-time overheads.
