[PATCH] i386: Honour -mdirect-extern-access when calling __fentry__
The small and medium PIC code models generate profiling calls that always load the address of __fentry__() via the GOT, even if -mdirect-extern-access is in effect. This deviates from the behavior with respect to other external references, and results in a longer opcode that relies on linker relaxation to eliminate the GOT load. In this particular case, the transformation replaces an indirect 'CALL *__fentry__@GOTPCREL(%rip)' with either 'CALL __fentry__; NOP' or 'NOP; CALL __fentry__', where the NOP is a 1 byte NOP that preserves the 6 byte length of the sequence. This is problematic for the Linux kernel, which generally relies on -mdirect-extern-access and hidden visibility to eliminate GOT based symbol references in code generated with -fpie/-fpic, without having to depend on linker relaxation. The Linux kernel relies on code patching to replace these opcodes with NOPs at runtime, and this is complicated code that we'd prefer not to complicate even more by adding support for patching both 5 and 6 byte sequences as well as parsing the instruction stream to decide which variant of CALL+NOP we are dealing with. So let's honour -mdirect-extern-access, and only load the address of __fentry__ via the GOT if direct references to external symbols are not permitted. Note that the GOT reference in question is in fact a data reference: we explicitly load the address of __fentry__ from the GOT, which amounts to eager binding, rather than emitting a PLT call that could bind eagerly, lazily or directly at link time. gcc/ChangeLog: * config/i386/i386.cc (x86_function_profiler): Take ix86_direct_extern_access into account when generating calls to __fentry__() Cc: H.J.

[PATCH v5 0/1] implement TLS register based stack canary for ARM
Bugzilla: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102352 In the Linux kernel, user processes calling into the kernel are essentially threads running in the same address space, of a program that never terminates. This means that using a global variable for the stack protector canary value is problematic on SMP systems, as we can never change it unless we reboot the system. (Processes that sleep for any reason will do so on a call into the kernel, which means that there will always be live kernel stack frames carrying copies of the canary taken when the function was entered) AArch64 implements -mstack-protector-guard=sysreg for this purpose, as this permits the kernel to use different memory addresses for the stack canary for each CPU, and context switch the chosen system register with the rest of the process, allowing each process to use its own unique value for the stack canary. This patch implements something similar, but for the 32-bit ARM kernel, which will start using the user space TLS register TPIDRURO to index per-process metadata while running in the kernel. This means we can just add an offset to TPIDRURO to obtain the address from which to load the canary value. Changes since v4: - add a couple of test cases - incorporate feedback received from Qing and Kyrylo Changes since v3: - force a reload of the TLS register before performing the stack protector check, so that we never rely on the stack for the address of the canary Changes since v2: - fix the template for stack_protect_test_tls so it correctly conveys the fact that it sets the Z flag Cc: Keith Packard Cc: thomas.preudho...@celest.fr Cc: adhemerval.zane...@linaro.org Cc: Qing Zhao Cc: Richard Sandiford Cc: Kyrylo Tkachov Cc: gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org Ard Biesheuvel (1): [ARM] Add support for TLS register based stack protector canary access gcc/config/arm/arm-opts.h| 6 ++ gcc/config/arm/arm-protos.h | 2 + gcc/config/arm/arm.c | 55 +++ gcc/config/arm/arm.md| 71 +++- gcc/config/arm/arm.opt | 22 ++ gcc/doc/invoke.texi | 11 +++ gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/stack-protector-7.c | 10 +++ gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/stack-protector-8.c | 5 ++ 8 files changed, 180 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/stack-protector-7.c create mode 100644 gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/stack-protector-8.c -- 2.30.2
[PATCH v5 1/1] [ARM] Add support for TLS register based stack protector canary access
Add support for accessing the stack canary value via the TLS register, so that multiple threads running in the same address space can use distinct canary values. This is intended for the Linux kernel running in SMP mode, where processes entering the kernel are essentially threads running the same program concurrently: using a global variable for the canary in that context is problematic because it can never be rotated, and so the OS is forced to use the same value as long as it remains up. Using the TLS register to index the stack canary helps with this, as it allows each CPU to context switch the TLS register along with the rest of the process, permitting each process to use its own value for the stack canary. 2021-11-15 Ard Biesheuvel * config/arm/arm-opts.h (enum stack_protector_guard): New * config/arm/arm-protos.h (arm_stack_protect_tls_canary_mem): New * config/arm/arm.c (TARGET_STACK_PROTECT_GUARD): Define (arm_option_override_internal): Handle and put in error checks for stack protector guard options.

[RFC PATCH 0/1] implement TLS register based stack canary for ARM
Bugzilla: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102352 In the Linux kernel, user processes calling into the kernel are essentially threads running in the same address space, of a program that never terminates. This means that using a global variable for the stack protector canary value is problematic on SMP systems, as we can never change it unless we reboot the system. (Processes that sleep for any reason will do so on a call into the kernel, which means that there will always be live kernel stack frames carrying copies of the canary taken when the function was entered) AArch64 implements -mstack-protector-guard=sysreg for this purpose, as this permits the kernel to use different memory addresses for the stack canary for each CPU, and context switch the chosen system register with the rest of the process, allowing each process to use its own unique value for the stack canary. This patch implements something similar, but for the 32-bit ARM kernel, which will start using the user space TLS register TPIDRURO to index per-process metadata while running in the kernel. This means we can just add an offset to TPIDRURO to obtain the address from which to load the canary value. The patch is a bit rough around the edges, but produces the correct results as far as I can tell. However, I couldn't quite figure out how to modify the patterns so that the offset will be moved into the immediate offset field of the LDR instructions, so currently, the ADD of the offset is always a distinct instruction.

[RFC PATCH 1/1] [ARM] Add support for TLS register based stack protector canary access
Add support for accessing the stack canary value via the TLS register, so that multiple threads running in the same address space can use distinct canary values. This is intended for the Linux kernel running in SMP mode, where processes entering the kernel are essentially threads running the same program concurrently: using a global variable for the canary in that context is problematic because it can never be rotated, and so the OS is forced to use the same value as long as it remains up. Using the TLS register to index the stack canary helps with this, as it allows each CPU to context switch the TLS register along with the rest of the process, permitting each process to use its own value for the stack canary. 2021-10-20 Ard Biesheuvel * config/arm/arm-opts.h (enum stack_protector_guard): New * config/arm/arm.c (arm_option_override_internal): Handle and put in error checks for stack protector guard options.

[PATCH v3 0/1] implement TLS register based stack canary for ARM
Bugzilla: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102352 In the Linux kernel, user processes calling into the kernel are essentially threads running in the same address space, of a program that never terminates. This means that using a global variable for the stack protector canary value is problematic on SMP systems, as we can never change it unless we reboot the system. (Processes that sleep for any reason will do so on a call into the kernel, which means that there will always be live kernel stack frames carrying copies of the canary taken when the function was entered) AArch64 implements -mstack-protector-guard=sysreg for this purpose, as this permits the kernel to use different memory addresses for the stack canary for each CPU, and context switch the chosen system register with the rest of the process, allowing each process to use its own unique value for the stack canary. This patch implements something similar, but for the 32-bit ARM kernel, which will start using the user space TLS register TPIDRURO to index per-process metadata while running in the kernel. This means we can just add an offset to TPIDRURO to obtain the address from which to load the canary value. As for the spilling issues that have been fixed in this code in the past: I suppose a register carrying the TLS register value will never get spilled to begin with? Changes since v2: - fix the template for stack_protect_test_tls so it correctly conveys the fact that it sets the Z flag Comments/suggestions welcome.

This is intended for the Linux kernel running in SMP mode, where processes entering the kernel are essentially threads running the same program concurrently: using a global variable for the canary in that context is problematic because it can never be rotated, and so the OS is forced to use the same value as long as it remains up. Using the TLS register to index the stack canary helps with this, as it allows each CPU to context switch the TLS register along with the rest of the process, permitting each process to use its own value for the stack canary. 2021-10-21 Ard Biesheuvel * config/arm/arm-opts.h (enum stack_protector_guard): New * config/arm/arm-protos.h (arm_stack_protect_tls_canary_mem): New * config/arm/arm.c (TARGET_STACK_PROTECT_GUARD): Define (arm_option_override_internal): Handle and put in error checks for stack protector guard options.

[PATCH v4 0/1] implement TLS register based stack canary for ARM
Bugzilla: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102352 In the Linux kernel, user processes calling into the kernel are essentially threads running in the same address space, of a program that never terminates. This means that using a global variable for the stack protector canary value is problematic on SMP systems, as we can never change it unless we reboot the system. (Processes that sleep for any reason will do so on a call into the kernel, which means that there will always be live kernel stack frames carrying copies of the canary taken when the function was entered) AArch64 implements -mstack-protector-guard=sysreg for this purpose, as this permits the kernel to use different memory addresses for the stack canary for each CPU, and context switch the chosen system register with the rest of the process, allowing each process to use its own unique value for the stack canary.

This means we can just add an offset to TPIDRURO to obtain the address from which to load the canary value. Changes since v3: - force a reload of the TLS register before performing the stack protector check, so that we never rely on the stack for the address of the canary Changes since v2: - fix the template for stack_protect_test_tls so it correctly conveys the fact that it sets the Z flag Comments/suggestions welcome.

[PATCH v6 0/1] implement TLS register based stack canary for ARM
Bugzilla: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102352 In the Linux kernel, user processes calling into the kernel are essentially threads running in the same address space, of a program that never terminates. This means that using a global variable for the stack protector canary value is problematic on SMP systems, as we can never change it unless we reboot the system. (Processes that sleep for any reason will do so on a call into the kernel, which means that there will always be live kernel stack frames carrying copies of the canary taken when the function was entered) AArch64 implements -mstack-protector-guard=sysreg for this purpose, as this permits the kernel to use different memory addresses for the stack canary for each CPU, and context switch the chosen system register with the rest of the process, allowing each process to use its own unique value for the stack canary. This patch implements something similar, but for the 32-bit ARM kernel, which will start using the user space TLS register TPIDRURO to index per-process metadata while running in the kernel. This means we can just add an offset to TPIDRURO to obtain the address from which to load the canary value. Changes since v5: - rebase onto latest changes, including .c -> .cc rename - ensure that tests execute only on targets that can support them Changes since v4: - add a couple of test cases - incorporate feedback received from Qing and Kyrylo Changes since v3: - force a reload of the TLS register before performing the stack protector check, so that we never rely on the stack for the address of the canary Changes since v2: - fix the template for stack_protect_test_tls so it correctly conveys the fact that it sets the Z flag Cc: Keith Packard Cc: thomas.preudho...@celest.fr Cc: adhemerval.zane...@linaro.org Cc: Qing Zhao Cc: Richard Sandiford Cc: Kyrylo Tkachov Cc: Richard Earnshaw Cc: gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org Ard Biesheuvel (1): [ARM] Add support for TLS register based stack protector canary access gcc/config/arm/arm-opts.h| 6 ++ gcc/config/arm/arm-protos.h | 2 + gcc/config/arm/arm.cc| 55 +++ gcc/config/arm/arm.md| 71 +++- gcc/config/arm/arm.opt | 22 ++ gcc/doc/invoke.texi | 11 +++ gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/stack-protector-7.c | 12 gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/stack-protector-8.c | 7 ++ 8 files changed, 184 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/stack-protector-7.c create mode 100644 gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/stack-protector-8.c -- 2.30.2
[PATCH v6 1/1] [ARM] Add support for TLS register based stack protector canary access
Add support for accessing the stack canary value via the TLS register, so that multiple threads running in the same address space can use distinct canary values. This is intended for the Linux kernel running in SMP mode, where processes entering the kernel are essentially threads running the same program concurrently: using a global variable for the canary in that context is problematic because it can never be rotated, and so the OS is forced to use the same value as long as it remains up. Using the TLS register to index the stack canary helps with this, as it allows each CPU to context switch the TLS register along with the rest of the process, permitting each process to use its own value for the stack canary. 2022-01-19 Ard Biesheuvel * config/arm/arm-opts.h (enum stack_protector_guard): New * config/arm/arm-protos.h (arm_stack_protect_tls_canary_mem): New * config/arm/arm.cc (TARGET_STACK_PROTECT_GUARD): Define (arm_option_override_internal): Handle and put in error checks for stack protector guard options.

E.g., Android uses generic binary builds, but we would like to be able to switch between pointer authentication and shadow call stack at boot time, rather than always support both, and take the SCS performance hit on systems that implement PAC as well. However, it seems more straight-forward to patch PACIASP and AUTIASP instructions into SCS push/pop instructions rather than the other way around, as we can force the use of these exact opcodes [in the NOP space]), as well as rely on existing unwind annotations to locate any such instruction in the binary.

I did implement a proof of concept that uses unwind data, but it hit some issues with cfi_negate_ra_state being emitted imprecisely (GCC) or not at all (Clang) in some cases. Using objtool would be another possibility. So in summary, getting SCS support proper into GCC is definitely worth the effort. -- Ard.
