#1 lore raw

Maybe the KASan folk can look into this, it isn't obvious how to fix this, since XZ needs memcpy/memmove #defined to avoid using its own version. Having KASan override these with a #define is all very well, but it makes the behaviour of lib/decompress_unxz.c indeterminant if we get rid of the definitions the XZ support added.

#2 lore raw

OK, paging in the KSan mailing list and key people.

Certainly this problem must be the same on all platforms using an XZ-compressed kernel and not just Arm?

What I wonder is why the other platforms that use XZ compression don't redefine memmove and memcpy in their decompress.c clause for XZ?

Can we just delete these two lines?
#define memmove memmove
#define memcpy memcpy

Imre?

I can test some platforms without these defines later tonight and see what happens.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

#3 lore raw

OK, paging in the KSan mailing list and key people.

Certainly this problem must be the same on all platforms using an XZ-compressed kernel and not just Arm?

Quoted 7 lines

What I wonder is why the other platforms that use XZ compression don't redefine memmove and memcpy in their decompress.c clause for XZ?

Can we just delete these two lines?
#define memmove memmove
#define memcpy memcpy

We can't. XZ has:

#ifndef memmove
/* Not static to avoid a conflict with the prototype in the Linux
* headers. */
void *memmove(void *dest, const void *src, size_t size) {
...
}
#endif

So, if memmove is not defined in the preprocessor, the code will create its own implementation. memmove() is also defined in arch/arm/boot/compressed/string.c for use with other decompressors, so the local version in lib/decompress_unxz.c will conflict and cause a link time error.

The addition of KASan added this to arch/arm/include/asm/string.h:

#if defined(CONFIG_KASAN) && !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__) #define memcpy(dst, src, len) __memcpy(dst, src, len) #define memmove(dst, src, len) __memmove(dst, src, len) #define memset(s, c, n) __memset(s, c, n)

#ifndef __NO_FORTIFY
#define __NO_FORTIFY /* FORTIFY_SOURCE uses __builtin_memcpy, etc. */ #endif

#endif

created a conditional definition of memmove in the preprocessor, which ultimately caused this problem. lib/decompress_unxz.c wants it defined in the preprocessor _if_ one has a local implementation (we do.)

Given that KASan should be disabled in the decompressor, maybe the conditional added by KASan to asm/string.h is insufficient? The makefile has:

KASAN_SANITIZE := n

So really we should not be playing _any_ KASan games in the decompressor code.
