v5 cover kasan: x86: arm64: KASAN tag-based mode for x86

======= Introduction
The patchset aims to add a KASAN tag-based mode for the x86 architecture with the help of the new CPU feature called Linear Address Masking (LAM). Main improvement introduced by the series is 2x lower memory usage compared to KASAN's generic mode, the only currently available mode on x86. The tag based mode may also find errors that the generic mode couldn't because of differences in how these modes operate.

======= How does KASAN' tag-based mode work?
When enabled, memory accesses and allocations are augmented by the compiler during kernel compilation. Instrumentation functions are added to each memory allocation and each pointer dereference.

The allocation related functions generate a random tag and save it in two places: in shadow memory that maps to the allocated memory, and in the top bits of the pointer that points to the allocated memory. Storing the tag in the top of the pointer is possible because of Top-Byte Ignore (TBI) on arm64 architecture and LAM on x86.

The access related functions are performing a comparison between the tag stored in the pointer and the one stored in shadow memory. If the tags don't match an out of bounds error must have occurred and so an error report is generated.

The general idea for the tag-based mode is very well explained in the series with the original implementation [1].

======= Differences summary compared to the arm64 tag-based mode
- Tag width:
- Tag width influences the chance of a tag mismatch due to two tags from different allocations having the same value. The bigger the possible range of tag values the lower the chance of that happening.
- Shortening the tag width from 8 bits to 4, while it can help with memory usage, it also increases the chance of not reporting an error. 4 bit tags have a ~7% chance of a tag mismatch.

- Address masking mechanism
- TBI in arm64 allows for storing metadata in the top 8 bits of the virtual address.
- LAM in x86 allows storing tags in bits [62:57] of the pointer. To maximize memory savings the tag width is reduced to bits [60:57].

- Inline mode mismatch reporting
- Arm64 inserts a BRK instruction to pass metadata about a tag mismatch to the KASAN report.
- On x86 the INT3 instruction is used for the same purpose.

======= Testing
Checked all the kunits for both software tags and generic KASAN after making changes.

In generic mode the results were:

kasan: pass:59 fail:0 skip:13 total:72
Totals: pass:59 fail:0 skip:13 total:72
ok 1 kasan

and for software tags:

kasan: pass:63 fail:0 skip:9 total:72
Totals: pass:63 fail:0 skip:9 total:72
ok 1 kasan

======= Benchmarks [1]
All tests were ran on a Sierra Forest server platform. The only differences between the tests were kernel options:
- CONFIG_KASAN
- CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC
- CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS
- CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE [1]
- CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE

Boot time (until login prompt):
* 02:55 for clean kernel
* 05:42 / 06:32 for generic KASAN (inline/outline)
* 05:58 for tag-based KASAN (outline) [2]

Total memory usage (512GB present on the system - MemAvailable just after boot):
* 12.56 GB for clean kernel
* 81.74 GB for generic KASAN
* 44.39 GB for tag-based KASAN

Kernel size:
* 14 MB for clean kernel
* 24.7 MB / 19.5 MB for generic KASAN (inline/outline)
* 27.1 MB / 18.1 MB for tag-based KASAN (inline/outline)

Work under load time comparison (compiling the mainline kernel) (200 cores):
* 62s for clean kernel
* 171s / 125s for generic KASAN (outline/inline)
* 145s for tag-based KASAN (outline) [2]

[1] Currently inline mode doesn't work on x86 due to things missing in the compiler. I have written a patch for clang that seems to fix the inline mode and I was able to boot and check that all patches regarding the inline mode work as expected. My hope is to post the patch to LLVM once this series is completed, and then make inline mode available in the kernel config.

[2] While I was able to boot the inline tag-based kernel with my compiler changes in a simulated environment, due to toolchain difficulties I couldn't get it to boot on the machine I had access to. Also boot time results from the simulation seem too good to be true, and they're much too worse for the generic case to be believable. Therefore I'm posting only results from the physical server platform.

======= Compilation
Clang was used to compile the series (make LLVM=1) since gcc doesn't seem to have support for KASAN tag-based compiler instrumentation on x86.

======= Dependencies
The base branch for the series is the mainline kernel, tag 6.17-rc3.

======= Enabling LAM for testing
Since LASS is needed for LAM and it can't be compiled without it I applied the LASS series [1] first, then applied my patches.

Changes v5:
- Fix a bunch of arm64 compilation errors I didn't catch earlier. Thank You Ada for testing the series!
- Simplify the usage of the tag handling x86 functions (virt_to_page, phys_addr etc.).
- Remove within() and within_range() from the EXECMEM_ROX patch.
- Count time it takes to compile a kernel when running kernels with generic KASAN, tag based KASAN and a clean kernel. Put data in the cover letter benchmark section.

Changes v4:
- Revert x86 kasan_mem_to_shadow() scheme to the same on used in generic KASAN. Keep the arithmetic shift idea for the KASAN in general since it makes more sense for arm64 and in risc-v.
- Fix inline mode but leave it unavailable until a complementary compiler patch can be merged.
- Apply Dave Hansen's comments on series formatting, patch style and code simplifications.

Changes v3:
- Remove the runtime_const patch and setup a unified offset for both 5 and 4 paging levels.
- Add a fix for inline mode on x86 tag-based KASAN. Add a handler for int3 that is generated on inline tag mismatches.
- Fix scripts/gdb/linux/kasan.py so the new signed mem_to_shadow() is reflected there.
- Fix Documentation/arch/arm64/kasan-offsets.sh to take new offsets into account.
- Made changes to the kasan_non_canonical_hook() according to upstream discussion.
- Remove patches 2 and 3 since they related to risc-v and this series adds only x86 related things.
- Reorder __tag_*() functions so they're before arch_kasan_*(). Remove CONFIG_KASAN condition from __tag_set().

Changes v2:
- Split the series into one adding KASAN tag-based mode (this one) and another one that adds the dense mode to KASAN (will post later).
- Removed exporting kasan_poison() and used a wrapper instead in kasan_init_64.c
- Prepended series with 4 patches from the risc-v series and applied review comments to the first patch as the rest already are reviewed.

PATCH v5 1/19 kasan: sw_tags: Use arithmetic shift for shadow computation

From: Samuel Holland <[email protected]>

Currently, kasan_mem_to_shadow() uses a logical right shift, which turns canonical kernel addresses into non-canonical addresses by clearing the high KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT bits. The value of KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is then chosen so that the addition results in a canonical address for the shadow memory.

For KASAN_GENERIC, this shift/add combination is ABI with the compiler, because KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is used in compiler-generated inline tag checks[1], which must only attempt to dereference canonical addresses.

However, for KASAN_SW_TAGS we have some freedom to change the algorithm without breaking the ABI. Because TBI is enabled for kernel addresses, the top bits of shadow memory addresses computed during tag checks are irrelevant, and so likewise are the top bits of KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET. This is demonstrated by the fact that LLVM uses a logical right shift in the tag check fast path[2] but a sbfx (signed bitfield extract) instruction in the slow path[3] without causing any issues.

Using an arithmetic shift in kasan_mem_to_shadow() provides a number of benefits:

1) The memory layout doesn't change but is easier to understand. KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET becomes a canonical memory address, and the shifted pointer becomes a negative offset, so KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET == KASAN_SHADOW_END regardless of the shift amount or the size of the virtual address space.

2) KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET becomes a simpler constant, requiring only one instruction to load instead of two. Since it must be loaded in each function with a tag check, this decreases kernel text size by 0.5%.

3) This shift and the sign extension from kasan_reset_tag() can be combined into a single sbfx instruction. When this same algorithm change is applied to the compiler, it removes an instruction from each inline tag check, further reducing kernel text size by an additional 4.6%.

These benefits extend to other architectures as well. On RISC-V, where the baseline ISA does not shifted addition or have an equivalent to the sbfx instruction, loading KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is reduced from 3 to 2 instructions, and kasan_mem_to_shadow(kasan_reset_tag(addr)) similarly combines two consecutive right shifts.

I wonder whether it's worth keeping the generic KASAN mode for arm64. We've had the hardware TBI from the start, so the architecture version is not an issue. The compiler support may differ though.

Anyway, that would be more suitable for a separate cleanup patch.

I want to test it at some point, but I was always under the impression (that at least in theory) different modes should be able to catch slightly different errors. Not a big set but an example being accessing wrong address, but allocated memory - on Generic it should be okay since shadow memory only says if and how much is allocated. On sw-tags it will fault because randomized tags would mismatch. Now I can't think of any examples the other way around but I assume there is a few.

PATCH v5 2/19 kasan: sw_tags: Support tag widths less than 8 bits

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

From: Samuel Holland <[email protected]>

Allow architectures to override KASAN_TAG_KERNEL in asm/kasan.h. This is needed on RISC-V, which supports 57-bit virtual addresses and 7-bit pointer tags. For consistency, move the arm64 MTE definition of KASAN_TAG_MIN to asm/kasan.h, since it is also architecture-dependent; RISC-V's equivalent extension is expected to support 7-bit hardware memory tags.

PATCH v5 3/19 kasan: Fix inline mode for x86 tag-based mode

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

The LLVM compiler uses hwasan-instrument-with-calls parameter to setup inline or outline mode in tag-based KASAN. If zeroed, it means the instrumentation implementation will be pasted into each relevant location along with KASAN related constants during compilation. If set to one all function instrumentation will be done with function calls instead.

The default hwasan-instrument-with-calls value for the x86 architecture in the compiler is "1", which is not true for other architectures. Because of this, enabling inline mode in software tag-based KASAN doesn't work on x86 as the kernel script doesn't zero out the parameter and always sets up the outline mode.

Explicitly zero out hwasan-instrument-with-calls when enabling inline mode in tag-based KASAN.

PATCH v5 4/19 x86: Add arch specific kasan functions

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

KASAN's software tag-based mode needs multiple macros/functions to handle tag and pointer interactions - to set, retrieve and reset tags from the top bits of a pointer.

Mimic functions currently used by arm64 but change the tag's position to bits [60:57] in the pointer.

---
Changelog v4:
- Rewrite __tag_set() without pointless casts and make it more readable.

Changelog v3:
- Reorder functions so that __tag_*() etc are above the arch_kasan_*() ones.
- Remove CONFIG_KASAN condition from __tag_set()

Re: [PATCH v5 04/19] x86: Add arch specific kasan functions

Quoted 39 lines · Andrey Konovalov
Quoted 37 lines · Maciej Wieczor-Retman

KASAN's software tag-based mode needs multiple macros/functions to handle tag and pointer interactions - to set, retrieve and reset tags from the top bits of a pointer.

Mimic functions currently used by arm64 but change the tag's position to bits [60:57] in the pointer.

---
Changelog v4:
- Rewrite __tag_set() without pointless casts and make it more readable.

Changelog v3:
- Reorder functions so that __tag_*() etc are above the arch_kasan_*() ones.
- Remove CONFIG_KASAN condition from __tag_set()

PATCH v5 5/19 kasan: arm64: x86: Make special tags arch specific

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

KASAN's tag-based mode defines multiple special tag values. They're reserved for:
- Native kernel value. On arm64 it's 0xFF and it causes an early return in the tag checking function.
- Invalid value. 0xFE marks an area as freed / unallocated. It's also the value that is used to initialize regions of shadow memory.
- Max value. 0xFD is the highest value that can be randomly generated for a new tag.

Metadata macro is also defined:
- Tag width equal to 8.

Tag-based mode on x86 is going to use 4 bit wide tags so all the above values need to be changed accordingly.

Make native kernel tag arch specific for x86 and arm64.

Replace hardcoded kernel tag value and tag width with macros in KASAN's non-arch specific code.

---
Changelog v5:
- Move KASAN_TAG_MIN to the arm64 kasan-tags.h for the hardware KASAN mode case.

Changelog v4:
- Move KASAN_TAG_MASK to kasan-tags.h.

Changelog v2:
- Remove risc-v from the patch.

Re: [PATCH v5 05/19] kasan: arm64: x86: Make special tags arch specific

Quoted 137 lines · Andrey Konovalov
Quoted 135 lines · Maciej Wieczor-Retman

KASAN's tag-based mode defines multiple special tag values. They're reserved for:
- Native kernel value. On arm64 it's 0xFF and it causes an early return in the tag checking function.
- Invalid value. 0xFE marks an area as freed / unallocated. It's also the value that is used to initialize regions of shadow memory.
- Max value. 0xFD is the highest value that can be randomly generated for a new tag.

Metadata macro is also defined:
- Tag width equal to 8.

Tag-based mode on x86 is going to use 4 bit wide tags so all the above values need to be changed accordingly.

Make native kernel tag arch specific for x86 and arm64.

Replace hardcoded kernel tag value and tag width with macros in KASAN's non-arch specific code.

---
Changelog v5:
- Move KASAN_TAG_MIN to the arm64 kasan-tags.h for the hardware KASAN mode case.

Changelog v4:
- Move KASAN_TAG_MASK to kasan-tags.h.

Changelog v2:
- Remove risc-v from the patch.

PATCH v5 6/19 x86: Reset tag for virtual to physical address conversions

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

Any place where pointer arithmetic is used to convert a virtual address into a physical one can raise errors if the virtual address is tagged.

Reset the pointer's tag by sign extending the tag bits in macros that do pointer arithmetic in address conversions. There will be no change in compiled code with KASAN disabled since the compiler will optimize the __tag_reset() out.

---
Changelog v5:
- Move __tag_reset() calls into __phys_addr_nodebug() and __virt_addr_valid() instead of calling it on the arguments of higher level functions.

Changelog v4:
- Simplify page_to_virt() by removing pointless casts.
- Remove change in __is_canonical_address() because it's taken care of in a later patch due to a LAM compatible definition of canonical.

PATCH v5 7/19 mm: x86: Untag addresses in EXECMEM_ROX related pointer arithmetic

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX was re-enabled in x86 at Linux 6.14 release. Related code has multiple spots where page virtual addresses end up used as arguments in arithmetic operations. Combined with enabled tag-based KASAN it can result in pointers that don't point where they should or logical operations not giving expected results.

vm_reset_perms() calculates range's start and end addresses using min() and max() functions. To do that it compares pointers but some are not tagged - addr variable is, start and end variables aren't.

within() and within_range() can receive tagged addresses which get compared to untagged start and end variables.

Reset tags in addresses used as function arguments in min(), max(), within().

execmem_cache_add() adds tagged pointers to a maple tree structure, which then are incorrectly compared when walking the tree. That results in different pointers being returned later and page permission violation errors panicking the kernel.

Reset tag of the address range inserted into the maple tree inside execmem_cache_add().

---
Changelog v5:
- Remove the within_range() change.
- arch_kasan_reset_tag -> kasan_reset_tag.

Changelog v4:
- Add patch to the series.

Thinking more about it, we anyway reset tag in execmem_alloc() and return untagged pointer to the caller. Let's just move kasan_reset_tag() to execmem_vmalloc() so that we always use untagged pointers. Seems more robust to me.

This is not strictly related to execemem, there may other users of VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS.

Regardless, I wonder how this works on arm64 with tags enabled?

Also, it's not the only place in the kernel that does (unsigned long)page_address(page). Do other sites need to reset the tag as well?

within() and within_range() can receive tagged addresses which get compared to untagged start and end variables.

Reset tags in addresses used as function arguments in min(), max(), within().

execmem_cache_add() adds tagged pointers to a maple tree structure, which then are incorrectly compared when walking the tree. That results in different pointers being returned later and page permission violation errors panicking the kernel.

Reset tag of the address range inserted into the maple tree inside execmem_cache_add().

---
Changelog v5:
- Remove the within_range() change.
- arch_kasan_reset_tag -> kasan_reset_tag.

Changelog v4:
- Add patch to the series.

Thinking more about it, we anyway reset tag in execmem_alloc() and return untagged pointer to the caller. Let's just move kasan_reset_tag() to execmem_vmalloc() so that we always use untagged pointers. Seems more robust to me.

Sure, I'll test if it works and change it :)

Regardless, I wonder how this works on arm64 with tags enabled?

Hmm, good point, I'll check it out in qemu if this function is called on arm64.

However this issue didn't pop up for me before 6.14 when EXECMEM_ROX was enabled, so maybe it just didn't hit tagged pages before? I'll try to recheck that on x86 too.

Quoted 2 lines

Also, it's not the only place in the kernel that does (unsigned long)page_address(page). Do other sites need to reset the tag as well?

This place is special in the sense that it does "start = min(addr, start)" and "end = max(addr, end)" just a few lines later. And start and end seem to always be untagged, while addr sometimes gets tagged. So with software KASAN and vmalloc support enabled it would get the final start and end values wrong and then a page permission error would happen someplace else.

I don't think all other page_address(page) sites need resetting, but I'll double check if there is any pointer arithmetic there.

PATCH v5 8/19 x86: Physical address comparisons in fill_p*d/pte

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

Calculating page offset returns a pointer without a tag. When comparing the calculated offset to a tagged page pointer an error is raised because they are not equal.

Change pointer comparisons to physical address comparisons as to avoid issues with tagged pointers that pointer arithmetic would create. Open code pte_offset_kernel(), pmd_offset(), pud_offset() and p4d_offset(). Because one parameter is always zero and the rest of the function insides are enclosed inside __va(), removing that layer lowers the complexity of final assembly.

Changelog v2:
- Open code *_offset() to avoid it's internal __va().

PATCH v5 9/19 x86: KASAN raw shadow memory PTE init

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

In KASAN's generic mode the default value in shadow memory is zero. During initialization of shadow memory pages they are allocated and zeroed.

In KASAN's tag-based mode the default tag for the arm64 architecture is 0xFE which corresponds to any memory that should not be accessed. On x86 (where tags are 4-bit wide instead of 8-bit wide) that tag is 0xE so during the initializations all the bytes in shadow memory pages should be filled with it.

Use memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() instead of memblock_alloc_try_nid() to avoid zeroing out the memory so it can be set with the KASAN invalid tag.

---
Changelog v2:
- Remove dense mode references, use memset() instead of kasan_poison().

PATCH v5 10/19 x86: LAM compatible non-canonical definition

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

For an address to be canonical it has to have its top bits equal to each other. The number of bits depends on the paging level and whether they're supposed to be ones or zeroes depends on whether the address points to kernel or user space.

With Linear Address Masking (LAM) enabled, the definition of linear address canonicality is modified. Not all of the previously required bits need to be equal, only the first and last from the previously equal bitmask. So for example a 5-level paging kernel address needs to have bits [63] and [56] set.

Add separate __canonical_address() implementation for CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS since it's the only thing right now that enables LAM for kernel addresses (LAM_SUP bit in CR4).

These two implementations have different semantics. The new function works only on kernel addresses, whereas the existing one works on user addresses as well. It looks like at least KVM's use of __is_canonical_address() expects the function to work with user addresses.

This is the kind of thing that's bound to break. Could we distill it down to something simpler, perhaps?

In the end, the canonical enforcement mask is the thing that's changing. So perhaps it should be all common code except for the mask definition:

#ifdef CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS
#define CANONICAL_MASK(vaddr_bits) (BIT_ULL(63) | BIT_ULL(vaddr_bits-1)) #else
#define CANONICAL_MASK(vaddr_bits) GENMASK_UL(63, vaddr_bits) #endif

(modulo off-by-one bugs ;)

Then the canonical check itself becomes something like:

	unsigned long cmask = CANONICAL_MASK(vaddr_bits);
	return (vaddr & mask) == mask;

That, to me, is the most straightforward way to do it.

I don't see it addressed in the cover letter, but what happens when a CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y kernel is booted on non-LAM hardware?

That's a good point, I need to add it to the cover letter. On non-LAM hardware the kernel just doesn't boot. Disabling KASAN in runtime on unsupported hardware isn't that difficult in outline mode, but I'm not sure it can work in inline mode (where checks into shadow memory are just pasted into code by the compiler).

Since for now there is no compiler support for the inline mode anyway, I'll try to disable KASAN on non-LAM hardware in runtime.

On RISC-V at least, I was able to run inline mode with missing hardware support. The shadow memory is still allocated, so the inline tag checks do not fault. And with a patch to make kasan_enabled() return false[1], all pointers remain canonical (they match the MatchAllTag), so the inline tag checks all succeed.

(modulo off-by-one bugs ;)

Then the canonical check itself becomes something like:

	unsigned long cmask = CANONICAL_MASK(vaddr_bits);
	return (vaddr & mask) == mask;

That, to me, is the most straightforward way to do it.

Thanks, I'll try something like this. I will also have to investigate what Samuel brought up that KVM possibly wants to pass user addresses to this function as well.

I don't see it addressed in the cover letter, but what happens when a CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS=y kernel is booted on non-LAM hardware?

That's a good point, I need to add it to the cover letter. On non-LAM hardware the kernel just doesn't boot. Disabling KASAN in runtime on unsupported hardware isn't that difficult in outline mode, but I'm not sure it can work in inline mode (where checks into shadow memory are just pasted into code by the compiler).

Quoted 7 lines

On RISC-V at least, I was able to run inline mode with missing hardware support. The shadow memory is still allocated, so the inline tag checks do not fault. And with a patch to make kasan_enabled() return false[1], all pointers remain canonical (they match the MatchAllTag), so the inline tag checks all succeed.

Thanks, that should work :)

I'll test it and apply to the series.

Since for now there is no compiler support for the inline mode anyway, I'll try to disable KASAN on non-LAM hardware in runtime.

PATCH v5 11/19 x86: LAM initialization

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

To make use of KASAN's tag based mode on x86, Linear Address Masking (LAM) needs to be enabled. To do that the 28th bit in CR4 has to be set.

Set the bit in early memory initialization.

When launching secondary CPUs the LAM bit gets lost. To avoid this add it in a mask in head_64.S. The bitmask permits some bits of CR4 to pass from the primary CPU to the secondary CPUs without being cleared.

PATCH v5 12/19 x86: Minimal SLAB alignment

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

8 byte minimal SLAB alignment interferes with KASAN's granularity of 16 bytes. It causes a lot of out-of-bounds errors for unaligned 8 byte allocations.

Compared to a kernel with KASAN disabled, the memory footprint increases because all kmalloc-8 allocations now are realized as kmalloc-16, which has twice the object size. But more meaningfully, when compared to a kernel with generic KASAN enabled, there is no difference. Because of redzones in generic KASAN, kmalloc-8' and kmalloc-16' object size is the same (48 bytes). So changing the minimal SLAB alignment of the tag-based mode doesn't have any negative impact when compared to the other software KASAN mode.

Adjust x86 minimal SLAB alignment to match KASAN granularity size.

PATCH v5 13/19 kasan: x86: Handle int3 for inline KASAN reports

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

Inline KASAN on x86 does tag mismatch reports by passing the faulty address and metadata through the INT3 instruction - scheme that's setup in the LLVM's compiler code (specifically HWAddressSanitizer.cpp).

Add a kasan hook to the INT3 handling function.

Disable KASAN in an INT3 core kernel selftest function since it can raise a false tag mismatch report and potentially panic the kernel.

Make part of that hook - which decides whether to die or recover from a tag mismatch - arch independent to avoid duplicating a long comment on both x86 and arm64 architectures.

---
Changelog v5:
- Add die to argument list of kasan_inline_recover() in arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c.

Changelog v4:
- Make kasan_handler() a stub in a header file. Remove #ifdef from traps.c.
- Consolidate the "recover" comment into one place.
- Make small changes to the patch message.

Hm, this part is different than on arm64: there, we don't check the return value.

Do I understand correctly that the return value from this function controls whether we skip over the int3 instruction and continue the execution? If so, we should return the same value regardless of whether the report is suppressed or not. And then you should not need to explicitly check for KASAN_BIT_MULTI_SHOT in the latter patch.

Re: [PATCH v5 13/19] kasan: x86: Handle int3 for inline KASAN reports

Quoted 75 lines · Andrey Konovalov
Quoted 73 lines · Maciej Wieczor-Retman

Inline KASAN on x86 does tag mismatch reports by passing the faulty address and metadata through the INT3 instruction - scheme that's setup in the LLVM's compiler code (specifically HWAddressSanitizer.cpp).

Add a kasan hook to the INT3 handling function.

Disable KASAN in an INT3 core kernel selftest function since it can raise a false tag mismatch report and potentially panic the kernel.

Make part of that hook - which decides whether to die or recover from a tag mismatch - arch independent to avoid duplicating a long comment on both x86 and arm64 architectures.

---
Changelog v5:
- Add die to argument list of kasan_inline_recover() in arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c.

Changelog v4:
- Make kasan_handler() a stub in a header file. Remove #ifdef from traps.c.
- Consolidate the "recover" comment into one place.
- Make small changes to the patch message.

If we can distinguish them, then we should only call kasan_inline_handler() for the KASAN-inserted int3's. This is what we do on arm64 (via brk and KASAN_BRK_IMM). And then int3_selftest_ip() should not be affected.

Looking at it again I suppose LLVM does pass a number along metadata to the int3. I didn't notice because no other function checks anything in the x86 int3 handler, compared to how it's done on arm64 with brk.

So right, thanks, after fixing it up it shouldn't affect the int3_selftest_ip().

I recall there were some corner cases where this code path got called in outline mode, didn't have a mismatch but still died due to the die() below. But I'll recheck and either apply what you wrote above or get add a better explanation to the patch message.

Okay, so the int3_selftest_ip() is causing a problem in outline mode.

I tried disabling kasan with kasan_disable_current() but thinking of it now it won't work because int3 handler will still be called and die() will happen.

Sorry, I meant to write that kasan_disable_current() works together with if(!kasan_report()). Because without checking kasan_report()' return value, if kasan is disabled through kasan_disable_current() it will have no effect in both inline mode, and if int3 is called in outline mode - the kasan_inline_handler will lead to die().

So do I understand correctly, that we have no way to distinguish whether the int3 was inserted by the KASAN instrumentation or natively called (like in int3_selftest_ip())?

If so, I think that we need to fix/change the compiler first so that we can distinguish these cases. And only then introduce kasan_inline_handler(). (Without kasan_inline_handler(), the outline instrumentation would then just work, right?)

Quoted 4 lines

If we can distinguish them, then we should only call kasan_inline_handler() for the KASAN-inserted int3's. This is what we do on arm64 (via brk and KASAN_BRK_IMM). And then int3_selftest_ip() should not be affected.

Quoted 5 lines

Looking at it again I suppose LLVM does pass a number along metadata to the int3. I didn't notice because no other function checks anything in the x86 int3 handler, compared to how it's done on arm64 with brk.

So right, thanks, after fixing it up it shouldn't affect the int3_selftest_ip().

Seriously guys, stop using int3 for this. UBSAN uses UD1, why the heck would KASAN not do the same?

Thanks! Also note how UBSAN encodes an immediate in the UD1 instruction. You can use that same to pass through your meta-data thing.

MOD=1 gives you a single byte immediate, and MOD=2 gives you 4 bytes, eg:

0f b9 49 xx -- ud1 xx(%rcx), %rcx

When poking at LLVM, try and convince the thing to not emit that 'operand address size prefix' byte like UBSAN does, that's just a waste of bytes.

PATCH v5 14/19 arm64: Unify software tag-based KASAN inline recovery path

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

To avoid having a copy of a long comment explaining the intricacies of the inline KASAN recovery system and issues for every architecture that uses the software tag-based mode, a unified kasan_inline_recover() function was added.

Use kasan_inline_recover() in the kasan brk handler to cleanup the long comment, that's kept in the non-arch KASAN code.

PATCH v5 15/19 kasan: x86: Apply multishot to the inline report handler

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

KASAN by default reports only one tag mismatch and based on other command line parameters either keeps going or panics. The multishot mechanism - enabled either through a command line parameter or by inline enable/disable function calls - lifts that restriction and allows an infinite number of tag mismatch reports to be shown.

Inline KASAN uses the INT3 instruction to pass metadata to the report handling function. Currently the "recover" field in that metadata is broken in the compiler layer and causes every inline tag mismatch to panic the kernel.

Check the multishot state in the KASAN hook called inside the INT3 handling function.

Hmm I thought when I was testing inline mode last time, that recovery was always disabled. I'll recheck later.

But just looking at llvm code, hwasan-recover has init(false). And the kernel doesn't do anything to this value in Makefile.kasan. Perhaps it just needs to be corrected in the Makefile.kasan?

I think this is needed if we want to keep the kasan_inline_recover below. Because without this patch, kasan_report() will report a mismatch, an then die() will be called. So the multishot gets ignored.

But die() should be called only when recovery is disabled. And recovery should always be enabled.

Quoted 6 lines

Hmm I thought when I was testing inline mode last time, that recovery was always disabled. I'll recheck later.

But just looking at llvm code, hwasan-recover has init(false). And the kernel doesn't do anything to this value in Makefile.kasan. Perhaps it just needs to be corrected in the Makefile.kasan?

Recovery should be disabled as the default when -fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress is used (unless something was broken/changed); see this patch:

PATCH v5 16/19 kasan: x86: Logical bit shift for kasan_mem_to_shadow

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

While generally tag-based KASAN adopts an arithemitc bit shift to convert a memory address to a shadow memory address, it doesn't work for all cases on x86. Testing different shadow memory offsets proved that either 4 or 5 level paging didn't work correctly or inline mode ran into issues. Thus the best working scheme is the logical bit shift and non-canonical shadow offset that x86 uses for generic KASAN, of course adjusted for the increased granularity from 8 to 16 bytes.

Add an arch specific implementation of kasan_mem_to_shadow() that uses the logical bit shift.

The non-canonical hook tries to calculate whether an address came from kasan_mem_to_shadow(). First it checks whether this address fits into the legal set of values possible to output from the mem to shadow function.

Tie both generic and tag-based x86 KASAN modes to the address range check associated with generic KASAN.

PATCH v5 17/19 mm: Unpoison pcpu chunks with base address tag

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

The problem presented here is related to NUMA systems and tag-based KASAN mode. It can be explained in the following points:

1. There can be more than one virtual memory chunk.
2. Chunk's base address has a tag.
3. The base address points at the first chunk and thus inherits the tag of the first chunk.
4. The subsequent chunks will be accessed with the tag from the first chunk.
5. Thus, the subsequent chunks need to have their tag set to match that of the first chunk.

Refactor code by moving it into a helper in preparation for the actual fix.

- Redo the patch message numbered list.
- Do the refactoring in this patch and move additions to the next new one.

Changelog v3:
- Remove last version of this patch that just resets the tag on base_addr and add this patch that unpoisons all areas with the same tag instead.

I got a boot breakage on a hpe-apollo arm64 system with sw_tags mode, and the boot breakage can be met stably. The detailed situation is reported in below link:

System is broken in KASAN sw_tags mode during bootup
https://lore.kernel.org/all/aKMLgHdTOEf9B92E@MiWiFi-R3L-srv/T/#u

After applying this patch 17 and patch 18 in this series, I can confirm the breakage is gone. Thanks for the great fix, and please feel free to add:

Re: [PATCH v5 17/19] mm: Unpoison pcpu chunks with base address tag

Thanks for testing the series! And I'm happy the fix was useful :)

Hi ,

Quoted 12 lines · Maciej Wieczor-Retman

The problem presented here is related to NUMA systems and tag-based KASAN mode. It can be explained in the following points:

1. There can be more than one virtual memory chunk.
2. Chunk's base address has a tag.
3. The base address points at the first chunk and thus inherits the tag of the first chunk.
4. The subsequent chunks will be accessed with the tag from the first chunk.
5. Thus, the subsequent chunks need to have their tag set to match that of the first chunk.

Quoted 2 lines

Refactor code by moving it into a helper in preparation for the actual fix.

I got a boot breakage on a hpe-apollo arm64 system with sw_tags mode, and the boot breakage can be met stably. The detailed situation is reported in below link:

System is broken in KASAN sw_tags mode during bootup
https://lore.kernel.org/all/aKMLgHdTOEf9B92E@MiWiFi-R3L-srv/T/#u

After applying this patch 17 and patch 18 in this series, I can confirm the breakage is gone. Thanks for the great fix, and please feel free to add:

PATCH v5 18/19 mm: Unpoison vms[area] addresses with a common tag

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

The problem presented here is related to NUMA systems and tag-based KASAN mode. It can be explained in the following points:

1. There can be more than one virtual memory chunk.
2. Chunk's base address has a tag.
3. The base address points at the first chunk and thus inherits the tag of the first chunk.
4. The subsequent chunks will be accessed with the tag from the first chunk.
5. Thus, the subsequent chunks need to have their tag set to match that of the first chunk.

Unpoison all vms[]->addr memory and pointers with the same tag to resolve the mismatch.

---
Changelog v4:
- Move tagging the vms[]->addr to this new patch and leave refactoring there.
- Comment the fix to provide some context.

Do we need this fix for the HW_TAGS mode too?

Re: [PATCH v5 18/19] mm: Unpoison vms[area] addresses with a common tag

Quoted 55 lines · Andrey Konovalov
Quoted 53 lines · Maciej Wieczor-Retman

The problem presented here is related to NUMA systems and tag-based KASAN mode. It can be explained in the following points:

1. There can be more than one virtual memory chunk.
2. Chunk's base address has a tag.
3. The base address points at the first chunk and thus inherits the tag of the first chunk.
4. The subsequent chunks will be accessed with the tag from the first chunk.
5. Thus, the subsequent chunks need to have their tag set to match that of the first chunk.

Unpoison all vms[]->addr memory and pointers with the same tag to resolve the mismatch.

---
Changelog v4:
- Move tagging the vms[]->addr to this new patch and leave refactoring there.
- Comment the fix to provide some context.

Do we need this fix for the HW_TAGS mode too?

Oh, I suppose it could also affect the hardware mode since this is related to tagged pointers and NUMA nodes. I'll try to also make it work for HW_TAGS.

Ack. I suspect you won't need to provide two separate implementations for this then.

Also, could you split out this fix into a separate patch with the Fixes and CC stable tags (or put the fix first in the series)?

PATCH v5 19/19 x86: Make software tag-based kasan available

In reply to Maciej Wieczor-Retman

Make CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS available for x86 machines if they have ADDRESS_MASKING enabled (LAM) as that works similarly to Top-Byte Ignore (TBI) that allows the software tag-based mode on arm64 platform.

Set scale macro based on KASAN mode: in software tag-based mode 16 bytes of memory map to one shadow byte and 8 in generic mode.

Disable CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_STACK when CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is enabled on x86 until the appropriate compiler support is available.

---
Changelog v4:
- Add x86 specific kasan_mem_to_shadow().
- Revert x86 to the older unsigned KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET. Do the same to KASAN_SHADOW_START/END.
- Modify scripts/gdb/linux/kasan.py to keep x86 using unsigned offset.
- Disable inline and stack support when software tags are enabled on x86.

Changelog v3:
- Remove runtime_const from previous patch and merge the rest here.
- Move scale shift definition back to header file.
- Add new kasan offset for software tag based mode.
- Fix patch message typo 32 -> 16, and 16 -> 8.
- Update lib/Kconfig.kasan with x86 now having software tag-based support.

Changelog v2:
- Remove KASAN dense code.

- Remove runtime_const from previous patch and merge the rest here.
- Move scale shift definition back to header file.
- Add new kasan offset for software tag based mode.
- Fix patch message typo 32 -> 16, and 16 -> 8.
- Update lib/Kconfig.kasan with x86 now having software tag-based support.

Changelog v2:
- Remove KASAN dense code.

Do you think it would make sense to drop the parts of the series that add int3 handling, since the inline instrumentation does not work yet anyway?

I thought we might as well put it into the kernel, so once the compiler side gets upstreamed only the Kconfig needs to be modified.

But both options are okay, I thought itd be easy to argument changes to LLVM if this inline mode is already prepared in the kernel.

Okay, I can move it there.
