Nathan reported that when building with GNU as and a version of clang that
defaults to DWARF5, the assembler will complain with:
Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported
This is because `-g` defaults to the compiler debug info default. If the
assembler does not support some of the directives used, the above errors
occur. To fix, remove the explicit passing of `-g`.
All the test wants is that stack traces print valid function names, and
debug info is not required for that. (I currently cannot recall why I
added the explicit `-g`.)

The reason for this is that on certain arm64 configuration since
e35123d83e ("arm64: lto: Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when
CONFIG_LTO=y"), READ_ONCE() may be promoted to a full atomic acquire
instruction which cannot be used on unaligned addresses.
Fix it by avoiding READ_ONCE() in read_instrumented_memory(), and simply
forcing the compiler to do the required access by casting to the
appropriate volatile type. In terms of generated code this currently
only affects architectures that do not use the default READ_ONCE()
implementation.
The only downside is that we are not guaranteed atomicity of the access
itself, although on most architectures a plain load up to machine word
size should still be atomic (a fact the default READ_ONCE() still relies
on itself).

is exactly the default frame size warning limit of the xtensa

As a result allmodconfig xtensa kernel builds with the gcc that does not

warning limit to 2K) fail with the following message:

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
- Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
interval:
get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]
Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
improvements throughout the tree.
I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
second week.
This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.
- More consistent use of get_random_canary().
- Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
simplification in configuration.
- The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
in all relevant contexts.
- The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
prevent accidental leakage.
These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.
- Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
replacing an sleep loop wart.
- The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
going through helpers better suited for other cases.
- The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.
But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
without the absent latent entropy variable.
- The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).
- The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
cause latencies.

With Clang version 16+, -fsanitize=thread will turn

__tsan_memcpy/__tsan_memset/__tsan_memmove calls respectively.
Add these functions to the core KCSAN runtime, so that we (a) catch data

running the KCSAN tests. Note that it needs to run on an SMP machine, so
to run under kunit_tool, the --qemu_args option should be used (on a

This patch enables KCSAN for arm64, with updates to build rules
to not use KCSAN for several incompatible compilation units.
Recent GCC version(at least GCC10) made outline-atomics as the
default option(unlike Clang), which will cause linker errors
for kernel/kcsan/core.o. Disables the out-of-line atomics by
no-outline-atomics to fix the linker errors.
Meanwhile, as Mark said[1], some latent issues are needed to be
fixed which isn't just a KCSAN problem, we make the KCSAN depends
on EXPERT for now.
Tested selftest and kcsan_test(built with GCC11 and Clang 13),
and all passed.

The warning is telling us that there was a data race which KCSAN wants
to report, but the function where the original access (that is now
reordered) happened cannot be found in the stack trace, which prevents
KCSAN from generating the right stack trace. The stack trace of "write
(reordered)" now only shows where the access was reordered to, but
should instead show the stack trace of the original write, with a final
line saying "reordered to".
At the point where set_reorder_access() is interrupted, it just set
reorder_access->ptr and size, at which point size is non-zero. This is
sufficient (if ctx->disable_scoped is zero) for further accesses from
nested contexts to perform checking of this reorder_access.
That then happened in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave(), which is called by
scheduler code. However, since reorder_access->ip is still stale (ptr
and size belong to a different ip not yet set) this finally leads to
replace_stack_entry() not finding the frame in reorder_access->ip and
generating the above warning.
Fix it by ensuring that a nested context cannot access reorder_access
while we update it in set_reorder_access(): set ctx->disable_scoped for
the duration that reorder_access is updated, which effectively locks
reorder_access and prevents concurrent use by nested contexts. Note,
set_reorder_access() can do the update only if disabled_scoped is zero
on entry, and must therefore set disable_scoped back to non-zero after
the initial check in set_reorder_access().

Fixing the above also revealed that lock operations are strengthened on

instrumented with KCSAN).
Only kcsan_test checks for over-instrumentation of *_lock() operations,
where we can simply "warm up" the test locks to avoid the test case

Add the core memory barrier instrumentation functions. These invalidate
the current in-flight reordered access based on the rules for the
respective barrier types and in-flight access type.
To obtain barrier instrumentation that can be disabled via __no_kcsan
with appropriate compiler-support (and not just with objtool help),
barrier instrumentation repurposes __atomic_signal_fence(), instead of
inserting explicit calls. Crucially, __atomic_signal_fence() normally
does not map to any real instructions, but is still intercepted by
fsanitize=thread. As a result, like any other instrumentation done by
the compiler, barrier instrumentation can be disabled with __no_kcsan.
Unfortunately Clang and GCC currently differ in their __no_kcsan aka
__no_sanitize_thread behaviour with respect to builtin atomics (and
__tsan_func_{entry,exit}) instrumentation. This is already reflected in
Kconfig.kcsan's dependencies for KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY. A later change will
introduce support for newer versions of Clang that can implement
__no_kcsan to also remove the additional instrumentation introduced by
KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY.

Add support for modeling a subset of weak memory, which will enable
detection of a subset of data races due to missing memory barriers.
KCSAN's approach to detecting missing memory barriers is based on
modeling access reordering, and enabled if `CONFIG_KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY=y`,
which depends on `CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y`. The feature can be enabled or
disabled at boot and runtime via the `kcsan.weak_memory` boot parameter.
Each memory access for which a watchpoint is set up, is also selected
for simulated reordering within the scope of its function (at most 1
in-flight access).
We are limited to modeling the effects of "buffering" (delaying the
access), since the runtime cannot "prefetch" accesses (therefore no
acquire modeling). Once an access has been selected for reordering, it
is checked along every other access until the end of the function scope.
If an appropriate memory barrier is encountered, the access will no
longer be considered for reordering.
When the result of a memory operation should be ordered by a barrier,
KCSAN can then detect data races where the conflict only occurs as a
result of a missing barrier due to reordering accesses.

Avoid checking scoped accesses from nested contexts (such as nested
interrupts or in scheduler code) which share the same kcsan_ctx.
This is to avoid detecting false positive races of accesses in the same
thread with currently scoped accesses: consider setting up a watchpoint
for a non-scoped (normal) access that also "conflicts" with a current
scoped access. In a nested interrupt (or in the scheduler), which shares
the same kcsan_ctx, we cannot check scoped accesses set up in the parent
context -- simply ignore them in this case.
With the introduction of kcsan_ctx::disable_scoped, we can also clean up
kcsan_check_scoped_accesses()'s recursion guard, and do not need to
modify the list's prev pointer.

Add rules to ignore data-racy reads with only 1-bit value changes.
Details about the rules are captured in comments in
kernel/kcsan/permissive.h. More background follows.
While investigating a number of data races, we've encountered data-racy
accesses on flags variables to be very common. The typical pattern is a
reader masking all but one bit, and/or the writer setting/clearing only
1 bit (current->flags being a frequently encountered case; more examples
in mm/sl[au]b.c, which disable KCSAN for this reason).
Since these types of data-racy accesses are common (with the assumption
they are intentional and hard to miscompile) having the option (with
CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE=y) to filter them will avoid forcing everyone to
mark them, and deliberately left to preference at this time.
One important motivation for having this option built-in is to move
closer to being able to enable KCSAN on CI systems or for testers
wishing to test the whole kernel, while more easily filtering
less interesting data races with higher probability.
For the implementation, we considered several alternatives, but had one
major requirement: that the rules be kept together with the Linux-kernel
tree. Adding them to the compiler would preclude us from making changes
quickly; if the rules require tweaks, having them part of the compiler
requires waiting another ~1 year for the next release -- that's not
realistic. We are left with the following options:
1. Maintain compiler plugins as part of the kernel-tree that
removes instrumentation for some accesses (e.g. plain-& with
1-bit mask). The analysis would be reader-side focused, as
no assumption can be made about racing writers.
Because it seems unrealistic to maintain 2 plugins, one for LLVM and
GCC, we would likely pick LLVM. Furthermore, no kernel infrastructure
exists to maintain LLVM plugins, and the build-system implications and
maintenance overheads do not look great (historically, plugins written
against old LLVM APIs are not guaranteed to work with newer LLVM APIs).
2. Find a set of rules that can be expressed in terms of
observed value changes, and make it part of the KCSAN runtime.
The analysis is writer-side focused, given we rely on observed
value changes.
The approach taken here is (2). While a complete approach requires both
(1) and (2), experiments show that the majority of data races involving
trivial bit operations on flags variables can be removed with (2) alone.
It goes without saying that the filtering of data races using (1) or (2)
does _not_ guarantee they are safe! Therefore, limiting ourselves to (2)
for now is the conservative choice for setups that wish to enable
CONFIG_KCSAN_PERMISSIVE=y.
