KASAN uses compiler instrumentation to intercept all memory accesses. But it does not see memory accesses done in assembly code. One notable user of assembly code is atomic operations. Frequently, for example, an atomic reference decrement is the last access to an object and a good candidate for a racy use-after-free.
Atomic operations are defined in arch files, but KASAN instrumentation is required for several archs that support KASAN. Later we will need similar hooks for KMSAN (uninit use detector) and KTSAN (data race detector). This change introduces wrappers around atomic operations that can be used to add KASAN/KMSAN/KTSAN instrumentation across several archs, and adds KASAN checks to them. This patch uses the wrappers only for x86 arch. Arm64 will be switched later. And we also plan to instrument bitops in a similar way. Within a day it has found its first bug: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in atomic_dec_and_test arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:123 [inline] at addr ffff880079c30158 Write of size 4 by task syz-executor6/25698 CPU: 2 PID: 25698 Comm: syz-executor6 Not tainted 4.10.0+ #302 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: kasan_check_write+0x14/0x20 mm/kasan/kasan.c:344 atomic_dec_and_test arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:123 [inline] put_task_struct include/linux/sched/task.h:93 [inline] put_ctx+0xcf/0x110 kernel/events/core.c:1131 perf_event_release_kernel+0x3ad/0xc90 kernel/events/core.c:4322 perf_release+0x37/0x50 kernel/events/core.c:4338 __fput+0x332/0x800 fs/file_table.c:209 ____fput+0x15/0x20 fs/file_table.c:245 task_work_run+0x197/0x260 kernel/task_work.c:116 exit_task_work include/linux/task_work.h:21 [inline] do_exit+0xb38/0x29c0 kernel/exit.c:880 do_group_exit+0x149/0x420 kernel/exit.c:984 get_signal+0x7e0/0x1820 kernel/signal.c:2318 do_signal+0xd2/0x2190 arch/x86/kernel/signal.c:808 exit_to_usermode_loop+0x200/0x2a0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:157 syscall_return_slowpath arch/x86/entry/common.c:191 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x6fc/0x930 arch/x86/entry/common.c:286 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 RIP: 0033:0x4458d9 RSP: 002b:00007f3f07187cf8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 00000000000000ca RAX: fffffffffffffe00 RBX: 00000000007080c8 RCX: 00000000004458d9 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 00000000007080c8 RBP: 00000000007080a8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 00007f3f071889c0 R15: 00007f3f07188700 Object at ffff880079c30140, in cache task_struct size: 5376 Allocated: PID = 25681 kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x122/0x6f0 mm/slab.c:3662 alloc_task_struct_node kernel/fork.c:153 [inline] dup_task_struct kernel/fork.c:495 [inline] copy_process.part.38+0x19c8/0x4aa0 kernel/fork.c:1560 copy_process kernel/fork.c:1531 [inline] _do_fork+0x200/0x1010 kernel/fork.c:1994 SYSC_clone kernel/fork.c:2104 [inline] SyS_clone+0x37/0x50 kernel/fork.c:2098 do_syscall_64+0x2e8/0x930 arch/x86/entry/common.c:281 return_from_SYSCALL_64+0x0/0x7a Freed: PID = 25681 __cache_free mm/slab.c:3514 [inline] kmem_cache_free+0x71/0x240 mm/slab.c:3774 free_task_struct kernel/fork.c:158 [inline] free_task+0x151/0x1d0 kernel/fork.c:370 copy_process.part.38+0x18e5/0x4aa0 kernel/fork.c:1931 copy_process kernel/fork.c:1531 [inline] _do_fork+0x200/0x1010 kernel/fork.c:1994 SYSC_clone kernel/fork.c:2104 [inline] SyS_clone+0x37/0x50 kernel/fork.c:2098 do_syscall_64+0x2e8/0x930 arch/x86/entry/common.c:281 return_from_SYSCALL_64+0x0/0x7a Changes since v1: - dropped "x86: remove unused atomic_inc_short()" patch it is mailed separately - rebased on top of tip/locking/core head - other changes noted within individual patches Dmitry Vyukov (7): x86: un-macro-ify atomic ops implementation x86: use long long for 64-bit atomic ops asm-generic: add atomic-instrumented.h x86: switch atomic.h to use atomic-instrumented.h kasan: allow kasan_check_read/write() to accept pointers to volatiles asm-generic: add KASAN instrumentation to atomic operations asm-generic, x86: add comments for atomic instrumentation arch/s390/include/asm/atomic_ops.h | 14 +- arch/s390/include/asm/bitops.h | 12 +- arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h | 159 +++++++----- arch/x86/include/asm/atomic64_32.h | 153 ++++++----- arch/x86/include/asm/atomic64_64.h | 151 ++++++----- arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg.h | 12 +- arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg_32.h | 8 +- arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg_64.h | 4 +- include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h | 417 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/kasan-checks.h | 10 +- include/linux/types.h | 2 +- mm/kasan/kasan.c | 4 +- 12 files changed, 727 insertions(+), 219 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h -- 2.13.0.219.gdb65acc882-goog
