Andrey Konovalov eec028c938 kcov: remote coverage support
Patch series " kcov: collect coverage from usb and vhost", v3.

This patchset extends kcov to allow collecting coverage from backgound
kernel threads.  This extension requires custom annotations for each of
the places where coverage collection is desired.  This patchset
implements this for hub events in the USB subsystem and for vhost
workers.  See the first patch description for details about the kcov
extension.  The other two patches apply this kcov extension to USB and
vhost.

Examples of other subsystems that might potentially benefit from this
when custom annotations are added (the list is based on
process_one_work() callers for bugs recently reported by syzbot):

1. fs: writeback wb_workfn() worker,
2. net: addrconf_dad_work()/addrconf_verify_work() workers,
3. net: neigh_periodic_work() worker,
4. net/p9: p9_write_work()/p9_read_work() workers,
5. block: blk_mq_run_work_fn() worker.

These patches have been used to enable coverage-guided USB fuzzing with
syzkaller for the last few years, see the details here:

  https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/linux/external_fuzzing_usb.md

This patchset has been pushed to the public Linux kernel Gerrit
instance:

  https://linux-review.googlesource.com/c/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux/+/1524

This patch (of 3):

Add background thread coverage collection ability to kcov.

With KCOV_ENABLE coverage is collected only for syscalls that are issued
from the current process.  With KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE it's possible to
collect coverage for arbitrary parts of the kernel code, provided that
those parts are annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().

This allows to collect coverage from two types of kernel background
threads: the global ones, that are spawned during kernel boot in a
limited number of instances (e.g.  one USB hub_event() worker thread is
spawned per USB HCD); and the local ones, that are spawned when a user
interacts with some kernel interface (e.g.  vhost workers).

To enable collecting coverage from a global background thread, a unique
global handle must be assigned and passed to the corresponding
kcov_remote_start() call.  Then a userspace process can pass a list of
such handles to the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl in the handles array field
of the kcov_remote_arg struct.  This will attach the used kcov device to
the code sections, that are referenced by those handles.

Since there might be many local background threads spawned from
different userspace processes, we can't use a single global handle per
annotation.  Instead, the userspace process passes a non-zero handle
through the common_handle field of the kcov_remote_arg struct.  This
common handle gets saved to the kcov_handle field in the current
task_struct and needs to be passed to the newly spawned threads via
custom annotations.  Those threads should in turn be annotated with
kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().

Internally kcov stores handles as u64 integers.  The top byte of a
handle is used to denote the id of a subsystem that this handle belongs
to, and the lower 4 bytes are used to denote the id of a thread instance
within that subsystem.  A reserved value 0 is used as a subsystem id for
common handles as they don't belong to a particular subsystem.  The
bytes 4-7 are currently reserved and must be zero.  In the future the
number of bytes used for the subsystem or handle ids might be increased.

When a particular userspace process collects coverage by via a common
handle, kcov will collect coverage for each code section that is
annotated to use the common handle obtained as kcov_handle from the
current task_struct.  However non common handles allow to collect
coverage selectively from different subsystems.
