Replace direct modifications to vma-&gt;vm_flags with calls to modifier
functions to be able to track flag changes and to keep vma locking
correctness.

<title>kcov: kmsan: unpoison area-&gt;list in kcov_remote_area_put()</title>

KMSAN does not instrument kernel/kcov.c for performance reasons (with
CONFIG_KCOV=y virtually every place in the kernel invokes kcov
instrumentation).  Therefore the tool may miss writes from kcov.c that
initialize memory.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled, list pointers from kernel/kcov.c are
passed to instrumented helpers in lib/list_debug.c, resulting in false
positives.

To work around these reports, we unpoison the contents of area-&gt;list after
initializing it.

<title>kcov: update pos before writing pc in trace function</title>

In __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(), previously we write pc before updating pos.
However, some early interrupt code could bypass check_kcov_mode() check
and invoke __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc().  If such interrupt is raised
between writing pc and updating pos, the pc could be overitten by the
recursive __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc().

As suggested by Dmitry, we cold update pos before writing pc to avoid such
interleaving.

Apply the same change to write_comp_data().

vm_insert_page()'s failure is not an unexpected condition, so don't do
WARN_ONCE() in such a case.

Instead, print a kernel message and just return an error code.

This flaw has been reported under an OOM condition by sysbot [1].

The message is mainly for the benefit of the test log, in this case the
fuzzer's log so that humans inspecting the log can figure out what was
going on.  KCOV is a testing tool, so I think being a little more chatty
when KCOV unexpectedly is about to fail will save someone debugging
time.

We don't want the WARN, because it's not a kernel bug that syzbot should
report, and failure can happen if the fuzzer tries hard enough (as
above).

Allocate the kcov buffer during KCOV_MODE_INIT in order to untie mmapping
of a kcov instance and the actual coverage collection process. Modify
kcov_mmap, so that it can be reliably used any number of times once
KCOV_MODE_INIT has succeeded.

These changes to the user-facing interface of the tool only weaken the
preconditions, so all existing user space code should remain compatible
with the new version.

<title>kcov: split ioctl handling into locked and unlocked parts</title>

<id>17581aa13680e1c38759cbb0ed32d04aa8849bea</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "kcov: improve mmap processing", v3.

Subsequent mmaps of the same kcov descriptor currently do not update the
virtual memory of the task and yet return 0 (success).  This is
counter-intuitive and may lead to unexpected memory access errors.

Also, this unnecessarily limits the functionality of kcov to only the
simplest usage scenarios.  Kcov instances are effectively forever attached
to their first address spaces and it becomes impossible to e.g.  reuse the
same kcov handle in forked child processes without mmapping the memory
first.  This is exactly what we tried to do in syzkaller and inadvertently
came upon this behavior.

This patch series addresses the problem described above.

This patch (of 3):

Currently all ioctls are de facto processed under a spinlock in order to
serialise them.  This, however, prohibits the use of vmalloc and other
memory management functions in the implementations of those ioctls,
unnecessary complicating any further changes to the code.

Let all ioctls first be processed inside the kcov_ioctl() function which
should execute the ones that are not compatible with spinlock and then
pass control to kcov_ioctl_locked() for all other ones.
KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE is processed both in kcov_ioctl() and
kcov_ioctl_locked() as the steps are easily separable.

Although it is still compatible with a spinlock, move KCOV_INIT_TRACE
handling to kcov_ioctl(), so that the changes from the next commit are
easier to follow.

Patch series "kcov: improve mmap processing", v3.

Subsequent mmaps of the same kcov descriptor currently do not update the
virtual memory of the task and yet return 0 (success).  This is
counter-intuitive and may lead to unexpected memory access errors.

Also, this unnecessarily limits the functionality of kcov to only the
simplest usage scenarios.  Kcov instances are effectively forever attached
to their first address spaces and it becomes impossible to e.g.  reuse the
same kcov handle in forked child processes without mmapping the memory
first.  This is exactly what we tried to do in syzkaller and inadvertently
came upon this behavior.

This patch series addresses the problem described above.

This patch (of 3):

Currently all ioctls are de facto processed under a spinlock in order to
serialise them.  This, however, prohibits the use of vmalloc and other
memory management functions in the implementations of those ioctls,
unnecessary complicating any further changes to the code.

Let all ioctls first be processed inside the kcov_ioctl() function which
should execute the ones that are not compatible with spinlock and then
pass control to kcov_ioctl_locked() for all other ones.
KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE is processed both in kcov_ioctl() and
kcov_ioctl_locked() as the steps are easily separable.

Although it is still compatible with a spinlock, move KCOV_INIT_TRACE
handling to kcov_ioctl(), so that the changes from the next commit are
easier to follow.

<title>kcov: replace local_irq_save() with a local_lock_t</title>

<id>d5d2c51f1e5f56ed01d2c773974630c007e5e5f5</id>
<content type='text'>
The kcov code mixes local_irq_save() and spin_lock() in
kcov_remote_{start|end}().  This creates a warning on PREEMPT_RT because
local_irq_save() disables interrupts and spin_lock_t is turned into a
sleeping lock which can not be acquired in a section with disabled
interrupts.

The kcov_remote_lock is used to synchronize the access to the hash-list
kcov_remote_map.  The local_irq_save() block protects access to the
per-CPU data kcov_percpu_data.

There is no compelling reason to change the lock type to raw_spin_lock_t
to make it work with local_irq_save().  Changing it would require to
move memory allocation (in kcov_remote_add()) and deallocation outside
of the locked section.

Adding an unlimited amount of entries to the hashlist will increase the
IRQ-off time during lookup.  It could be argued that this is debug code
and the latency does not matter.  There is however no need to do so and
it would allow to use this facility in an RT enabled build.

Using a local_lock_t instead of local_irq_save() has the befit of adding
a protection scope within the source which makes it obvious what is
protected.  On a !PREEMPT_RT &amp;&amp; !LOCKDEP build the local_lock_irqsave()
maps directly to local_irq_save() so there is overhead at runtime.

Replace the local_irq_save() section with a local_lock_t.

kcov_remote_start() may need to allocate memory in the in_task() case
(otherwise per-CPU memory has been pre-allocated) and therefore requires
enabled interrupts.

The interrupts are enabled before checking if the allocation is required
so if no allocation is required then the interrupts are needlessly enabled
and disabled again.

Enable interrupts only if memory allocation is performed.

During boot kcov allocates per-CPU memory which is used later if remote/
softirq processing is enabled.

Allocate the per-CPU memory on the CPU local node to avoid cross node
memory access.

<title>kernel: make kcov_common_handle consider the current context</title>

kcov_common_handle is a method that is used to obtain a "default" KCOV
remote handle of the current process. The handle can later be passed
to kcov_remote_start in order to collect coverage for the processing
that is initiated by one process, but done in another. For details see
Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst and comments in kernel/kcov.c.

Presently, if kcov_common_handle is called in an IRQ context, it will
return a handle for the interrupted process. This may lead to
unreliable and incorrect coverage collection.

Adjust the behavior of kcov_common_handle in the following way. If it
is called in a task context, return the common handle for the
currently running task. Otherwise, return 0.
