<id>urn:sha1:cf68fffb66d60d96209446bfc4a15291dc5a5d41</id>
<content type='text'>
This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow
Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler
injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure
the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This
restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for
an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored
function pointers. For more details, see:

  https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html

Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain
visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported
with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between
independently compiled components.

With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into
the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For
cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler
calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines
the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This
patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address()
to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a
shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x.

Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and
offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables,
the compiler renames each address-taken function to &lt;function&gt;.cfi
and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes
__cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone
assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would
result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we
default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler
generates a local jump table entry &lt;function&gt;.cfi_jt for each
address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function
with the address of the jump table entry.

Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local
to each component, they break cross-module function address
equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be
different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local
jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module,
it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This
may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other
components.

CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute.
Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by
filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI.

By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential
exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the
kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution
to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but
should only be enabled during development.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

<title>compiler.h: Move instrumentation_begin()/end() to new &lt;linux/instrumentation.h&gt; header</title>

Linus pointed out that compiler.h - which is a key header that gets included in every
single one of the 28,000+ kernel files during a kernel build - was bloated in:

  655389666643: ("vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation")

Linus noted:

 &gt; I have pulled this, but do we really want to add this to a header file
 &gt; that is _so_ core that it gets included for basically every single
 &gt; file built?
 &gt;
 &gt; I don't even see those instrumentation_begin/end() things used
 &gt; anywhere right now.
 &gt;
 &gt; It seems excessive. That 53 lines is maybe not a lot, but it pushed
 &gt; that header file to over 12kB, and while it's mostly comments, it's
 &gt; extra IO and parsing basically for _every_ single file compiled in the
 &gt; kernel.
 &gt;
 &gt; For what appears to be absolutely zero upside right now, and I really
 &gt; don't see why this should be in such a core header file!

Move these primitives into a new header: &lt;linux/instrumentation.h&gt;, and include that
header in the headers that make use of it.

Unfortunately one of these headers is asm-generic/bug.h, which does get included
in a lot of places, similarly to compiler.h. So the de-bloating effect isn't as
good as we'd like it to be - but at least the interfaces are defined separately.

No change to functionality intended.

Warnings, bugs and stack protection fails from noinstr sections, e.g. low
level and early entry code, are likely to be fatal.

Mark them as "safe" to be invoked from noinstr protected code to avoid
annotating all usage sites. Getting the information out is important.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "Clean up WARN() "cut here" handling", v2.

Christophe Leroy noticed that the fix for missing "cut here" in the WARN()
case was adding explicit printk() calls instead of teaching the exception
handler to add it.  This refactors the bug/warn infrastructure to pass
this information as a new BUGFLAG.

Longer details repeated from the last patch in the series:

bug: move WARN_ON() "cut here" into exception handler

The original cleanup of "cut here" missed the WARN_ON() case (that does
not have a printk message), which was fixed recently by adding an explicit
printk of "cut here".  This had the downside of adding a printk() to every
WARN_ON() caller, which reduces the utility of using an instruction

all of these can be removed and "cut here" can be handled by the exception

This was very pronounced on PowerPC, but the effect can be seen on x86 as
well.  The resulting text size of a defconfig build shows some small
savings from this patch:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
19691167        5134320 1646664 26472151        193eed7 vmlinux.before
19676362        5134260 1663048 26473670        193f4c6 vmlinux.after

This change also opens the door for creating something like BUG_MSG(),
where a custom printk() before issuing BUG(), without confusing the "cut
here" line.

This patch (of 7):

There's no reason to have specialized helpers for passing the warn taint
down to __warn().  Consolidate and refactor helper macros, removing
__WARN_printf() and warn_slowpath_fmt_taint().
