memcpy() is dead; long live memcpy()
tl;dr: In order to eliminate a large class of common buffer overflow
flaws that continue to persist in the kernel, have memcpy() (under
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE) perform bounds checking of the destination struct
member when they have a known size. This would have caught all of the
memcpy()-related buffer write overflow flaws identified in at least the
last three years.
Background and analysis:
While stack-based buffer overflow flaws are largely mitigated by stack
canaries (and similar) features, heap-based buffer overflow flaws continue
to regularly appear in the kernel. Many classes of heap buffer overflows
are mitigated by FORTIFY_SOURCE when using the strcpy() family of
functions, but a significant number remain exposed through the memcpy()
family of functions.
At its core, FORTIFY_SOURCE uses the compiler's __builtin_object_size()
internal[0] to determine the available size at a target address based on
the compile-time known structure layout details. It operates in two
modes: outer bounds (0) and inner bounds (1). In mode 0, the size of the
enclosing structure is used. In mode 1, the size of the specific field
is used. For example:
struct object {
u16 scalar1; /* 2 bytes */
char array[6]; /* 6 bytes */
u64 scalar2; /* 8 bytes */
u32 scalar3; /* 4 bytes */
u32 scalar4; /* 4 bytes */
} instance;
__builtin_object_size(instance.array, 0) == 22, since the remaining size
of the enclosing structure starting from "array" is 22 bytes (6 + 8 +
4 + 4).
__builtin_object_size(instance.array, 1) == 6, since the remaining size
of the specific field "array" is 6 bytes.
The initial implementation of FORTIFY_SOURCE used mode 0 because there
were many cases of both strcpy() and memcpy() functions being used to
write (or read) across multiple fields in a structure. For example,
it would catch this, which is writing 2 bytes beyond the end of
"instance":
memcpy(&instance.array, data, 25);
While this didn't protect against overwriting adjacent fields in a given
structure, it would at least stop overflows from reaching beyond the
end of the structure into neighboring memory, and provided a meaningful
mitigation of a subset of buffer overflow flaws. However, many desirable
targets remain within the enclosing structure (for example function
pointers).
As it happened, there were very few cases of strcpy() family functions
intentionally writing beyond the end of a string buffer. Once all known
cases were removed from the kernel, the strcpy() family was tightened[1]
to use mode 1, providing greater mitigation coverage.
What remains is switching memcpy() to mode 1 as well, but making the
switch is much more difficult because of how frustrating it can be to
find existing "normal" uses of memcpy() that expect to write (or read)
across multiple fields. The root cause of the problem is that the C
language lacks a common pattern to indicate the intent of an author's
use of memcpy(), and is further complicated by the available compile-time
and run-time mitigation behaviors.
The FORTIFY_SOURCE mitigation comes in two halves: the compile-time half,
when both the buffer size _and_ the length of the copy is known, and the
run-time half, when only the buffer size is known. If neither size is
known, there is no bounds checking possible. At compile-time when the
compiler sees that a length will always exceed a known buffer size,
a warning can be deterministically emitted. For the run-time half,
the length is tested against the known size of the buffer, and the
overflowing operation is detected. (The performance overhead for these
tests is virtually zero.)
It is relatively easy to find compile-time false-positives since a warning
is always generated. Fixing the false positives, however, can be very
time-consuming as there are hundreds of instances. While it's possible
some over-read conditions could lead to kernel memory exposures, the bulk
of the risk comes from the run-time flaws where the length of a write
may end up being attacker-controlled and lead to an overflow.
Many of the compile-time false-positives take a form similar to this:
memcpy(&instance.scalar2, data, sizeof(instance.scalar2) +
sizeof(instance.scalar3));
and the run-time ones are similar, but lack a constant expression for the
size of the copy:
memcpy(instance.array, data, length);
The former is meant to cover multiple fields (though its style has been
frowned upon more recently), but has been technically legal. Both lack
any expressivity in the C language about the author's _intent_ in a way
that a compiler can check when the length isn't known at compile time.
A comment doesn't work well because what's needed is something a compiler
can directly reason about. Is a given memcpy() call expected to overflow
into neighbors? Is it not? By using the new struct_group() macro, this
intent can be much more easily encoded.
It is not as easy to find the run-time false-positives since the code path
to exercise a seemingly out-of-bounds condition that is actually expected
may not be trivially reachable. Tightening the restrictions to block an
operation for a false positive will either potentially create a greater
flaw (if a copy is truncated by the mitigation), or destabilize the kernel
(e.g. with a BUG()), making things completely useless for the end user.
As a result, tightening the memcpy() restriction (when there is a
reasonable level of uncertainty of the number of false positives), needs
to first WARN() with no truncation. (Though any sufficiently paranoid
end-user can always opt to set the panic_on_warn=1 sysctl.) Once enough
development time has passed, the mitigation can be further intensified.
(Note that this patch is only the compile-time checking step, which is
a prerequisite to doing run-time checking, which will come in future
patches.)
Given the potential frustrations of weeding out all the false positives
when tightening the run-time checks, it is reasonable to wonder if these
changes would actually add meaningful protection. Looking at just the
last three years, there are 23 identified flaws with a CVE that mention
"buffer overflow", and 11 are memcpy()-related buffer overflows.
(For the remaining 12: 7 are array index overflows that would be
mitigated by systems built with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y: CVE-2019-0145,
CVE-2019-14835, CVE-2019-14896, CVE-2019-14897, CVE-2019-14901,
CVE-2019-17666, CVE-2021-28952. 2 are miscalculated allocation
sizes which could be mitigated with memory tagging: CVE-2019-16746,
CVE-2019-2181. 1 is an iovec buffer bug maybe mitigated by memory tagging:
CVE-2020-10742. 1 is a type confusion bug mitigated by stack canaries:
CVE-2020-10942. 1 is a string handling logic bug with no mitigation I'm
aware of: CVE-2021-28972.)
At my last count on an x86_64 allmodconfig build, there are 35,294
calls to memcpy(). With callers instrumented to report all places
where the buffer size is known but the length remains unknown (i.e. a
run-time bounds check is added), we can count how many new run-time
bounds checks are added when the destination and source arguments of
memcpy() are changed to use "mode 1" bounds checking: 1,276. This means
for the future run-time checking, there is a worst-case upper bounds
of 3.6% false positives to fix. In addition, there were around 150 new
compile-time warnings to evaluate and fix (which have now been fixed).
With this instrumentation it's also possible to compare the places where
the known 11 memcpy() flaw overflows manifested against the resulting
list of potential new run-time bounds checks, as a measure of potential
efficacy of the tightened mitigation. Much to my surprise, horror, and
delight, all 11 flaws would have been detected by the newly added run-time
bounds checks, making this a distinctly clear mitigation improvement: 100%
coverage for known memcpy() flaws, with a possible 2 orders of magnitude
gain in coverage over existing but undiscovered run-time dynamic length
flaws (i.e. 1265 newly covered sites in addition to the 11 known), against
only <4% of all memcpy() callers maybe gaining a false positive run-time
check, with only about 150 new compile-time instances needing evaluation.
Specifically these would have been mitigated:

To accelerate the review of potential run-time false positives, it's
also worth noting that it is possible to partially automate checking
by examining the memcpy() buffer argument to check for the destination
struct member having a neighboring array member. It is reasonable to
expect that the vast majority of run-time false positives would look like
the already evaluated and fixed compile-time false positives, where the
most common pattern is neighboring arrays. (And, FWIW, many of the
compile-time fixes were actual bugs, so it is reasonable to assume we'll
have similar cases of actual bugs getting fixed for run-time checks.)
Implementation:
Tighten the memcpy() destination buffer size checking to use the actual
("mode 1") target buffer size as the bounds check instead of their
enclosing structure's ("mode 0") size. Use a common inline for memcpy()
(and memmove() in a following patch), since all the tests are the
same. All new cross-field memcpy() uses must use the struct_group() macro
or similar to target a specific range of fields, so that FORTIFY_SOURCE
can reason about the size and safety of the copy.
For now, cross-member "mode 1" _read_ detection at compile-time will be
limited to W=1 builds, since it is, unfortunately, very common. As the
priority is solving write overflows, read overflows will be part of a
future phase (and can be fixed in parallel, for anyone wanting to look
at W=1 build output).
For run-time, the "mode 0" size checking and mitigation is left unchanged,
with "mode 1" to be added in stages. In this patch, no new run-time
checks are added. Future patches will first bounds-check writes,
and only perform a WARN() for now. This way any missed run-time false
positives can be flushed out over the coming several development cycles,
but system builders who have tested their workloads to be WARN()-free
can enable the panic_on_warn=1 sysctl to immediately gain a mitigation
against this class of buffer overflows. Once that is under way, run-time
bounds-checking of reads can be similarly enabled.
Related classes of flaws that will remain unmitigated:
- memcpy() with flexible array structures, as the compiler does not
currently have visibility into the size of the trailing flexible
array. These can be fixed in the future by refactoring such cases
to use a new set of flexible array structure helpers to perform the
common serialization/deserialization code patterns doing allocation
and/or copying.
- memcpy() with raw pointers (e.g. void *, char *, etc), or otherwise
having their buffer size unknown at compile time, have no good
mitigation beyond memory tagging (and even that would only protect
against inter-object overflow, not intra-object neighboring field
overflows), or refactoring. Some kind of "fat pointer" solution is
likely needed to gain proper size-of-buffer awareness. (e.g. see
struct membuf)
- type confusion where a higher level type's allocation size does
not match the resulting cast type eventually passed to a deeper
memcpy() call where the compiler cannot see the true type. In
theory, greater static analysis could catch these, and the use
of -Warray-bounds will help find some of these.

Discussions around the problem suggest that this only happens if an
architecture does not provide strlen(), if -ffreestanding is provided as
compiler option, and if CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=n. All of this is the case
for m68k. The exact reasons are unknown, but seem to be related to the
ability of the compiler to evaluate the return value of strlen() and
the resulting execution flow in memcpy_and_pad(). It would be possible
to work around the problem by using sizeof(UTS_RELEASE) instead of
strlen(UTS_RELEASE), but that would only postpone the problem until the
function is called in a similar way. Uninline memcpy_and_pad() instead

From an abstract point of view, escape_special's counterpart,
unescape_special, already handles the unescaping of blackslashed double
quote sequences.
As a more practical example, printk indexing is an example case where
this is already practically useful. Compare an example with
`ESCAPE_SPECIAL | ESCAPE_SPACE`, with quotes not escaped:
[root@ktst ~]# grep drivers/pci/pci-stub.c:69 /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index/vmlinux
<4> drivers/pci/pci-stub.c:69 pci_stub_init "pci-stub: invalid ID string "%s"\n"
...and the same after this patch:
[root@ktst ~]# grep drivers/pci/pci-stub.c:69 /sys/kernel/debug/printk/index/vmlinux
<4> drivers/pci/pci-stub.c:69 pci_stub_init "pci-stub: invalid ID string \"%s\"\n"
One can of course, alternatively, use ESCAPE_APPEND with a quote in
@only, but without this patch quotes are coerced into hex or octal which
can hurt readability quite significantly.
I've checked uses of ESCAPE_SPECIAL and %pE across the codebase, and I'm
pretty confident that this shouldn't affect any stable interfaces.

I'm exposing some information about NFS clients in pseudofiles. I
expect to eventually have simple tools to help read those pseudofiles.
But it's also helpful if the raw files are human-readable to the extent
possible. It aids debugging and makes them usable on systems that don't
have the latest nfs-utils.
A minor challenge there is opaque client-generated protocol objects like
state owners and client identifiers. Some clients generate those to
include handy information in plain ascii. But they may also include
arbitrary byte sequences.
I think the simplest approach is to limit to isprint(c) && isascii(c)
and escape everything else.
That means you can just cat the file and get something that looks OK.
Also, I'm trying to keep these files legal YAML, which requires them to

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

It was noticed that we lose precision in the final calculation for some
inputs. The most egregious example is size=3000 blk_size=1900 in units
of 10 should yield 5.70 MB but in fact yields 3.00 MB (oops).
This is because the current algorithm doesn't correctly account for
all the remainders in the logarithms. Fix this by doing a correct
calculation in the remainders based on napier's algorithm.
Additionally, now we have the correct result, we have to account for
arithmetic rounding because we're printing 3 digits of precision. This
means that if the fourth digit is five or greater, we have to round up,
so add a section to ensure correct rounding. Finally account for all
possible inputs correctly, including zero for block size.

Some string_get_size() calls (e.g.:
string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...)
string_get_size(15, 64, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...)
) result in an infinite loop. The problem is that if size is equal to
divisor[units]/blk_size and is smaller than divisor[units] we'll end
up with size == 0 when we start doing sf_cap calculations:
For string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) case:
...
remainder = do_div(size, divisor[units]); -> size is 0, remainder is 1
remainder *= blk_size; -> remainder is 512
...
size *= blk_size; -> size is still 0
size += remainder / divisor[units]; -> size is still 0
The caller causing the issue is sd_read_capacity(), the problem was
noticed on Hyper-V, such weird size was reported by host when scanning
collides with device removal. This is probably a separate issue worth
fixing, this patch is intended to prevent the library routine from
infinite looping.

The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its
current users, vsnprintf(). If that is to honour its contract, it must
know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and
string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a
large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and
that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf).
So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like:
Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination
buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst
it is allowed to, and (contrary to snprintf) don't do '\0'-termination.
It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to
append a '\0' if desired. Also, we must output partial escape sequences,
otherwise a call such as snprintf(buf, 3, "%1pE", "\123") would cause
printf to write a \0 to buf[2] but leaving buf[0] and buf[1] with whatever
they previously contained.
This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used
to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem();
since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would
happily write to dst. For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and
then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops.
In test-string_helpers.c, the -ENOMEM test is replaced with testing for
getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small. We
also ensure that nothing is written (by relying on a NULL pointer deref)
if the output size is 0 by passing NULL - this has to work for
kasprintf("%pE") to work.
In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics.
Someone should definitely double-check this.
In fs/proc/array.c, I made the minimum possible change, but longer-term it
should stop poking around in seq_file internals.

When printf is given the format specifier %pE, it needs a way of obtaining
the total output size that would be generated if the buffer was large
enough, and string_escape_mem doesn't easily provide that. This is a
refactorization of string_escape_mem in preparation of changing its
external API to provide that information.
The somewhat ugly early returns and subsequent seemingly redundant
conditionals are to make the following patch touch as little as possible
in string_helpers.c while still preserving the current behaviour of never
outputting partial escape sequences. That behaviour must also change for
%pE to work as one expects from every other printf specifier.

The current string_get_size() overflows when the device size goes over
2^64 bytes because the string helper routine computes the suffix from
the size in bytes. However, the entirety of Linux thinks in terms of
blocks, not bytes, so this will artificially induce an overflow on very
large devices. Fix this by making the function string_get_size() take
blocks and the block size instead of bytes. This should allow us to
keep working until the current SCSI standard overflows.
Also fix virtio_blk and mmc (both of which were also artificially
multiplying by the block size to pass a byte side to string_get_size()).
The mathematics of this is pretty simple: we're taking a product of
size in blocks (S) and block size (B) and trying to re-express this in
exponential form: S*B = R*N^E (where N, the exponent is either 1000 or
1024) and R < N. Mathematically, S = RS*N^ES and B=RB*N^EB, so if RS*RB
< N it's easy to see that S*B = RS*RB*N^(ES+EB). However, if RS*BS > N,
we can see that this can be re-expressed as RS*BS = R*N (where R =
RS*BS/N < N) so the whole exponent becomes R*N^(ES+EB+1)

If and when we get u128, string_get_size needs updating anyway (and ISO
needs to come up with four more prefixes).
Also there's no need to include and test for the NULL sentinel; once we
reach "E" size is at most 18. [The test is also wrong; it should be
units_str[units][i+1]; if we've reached NULL we're already doomed.]

We would hang forever when passing a zero to string_get_size().
Furthermore, string_get_size() would produce decimals on a value small
enough to be exact. Finally, a few formatting issues are inconsistent
with standard SI style guidelines.
- If the value is less than the divisor, skip the entire rounding
step. This prints out all small values including zero as integers,
without decimals.
- Add a space between the value and the symbol for the unit,
consistent with standard SI practice.
- Lower case k in kB since we are talking about powers of 10.
- Finally, change "int" to "unsigned int" in one place to shut up a
