      vsprintf: Fix off-by-one bug in bstr_printf() processing dereferenced pointers · 62165600
      由 Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于 
      The functions vbin_printf() and bstr_printf() are used by trace_printk() to
try to keep the overhead down during printing. trace_printk() uses
vbin_printf() at the time of execution, as it only scans the fmt string to
record the printf values into the buffer, and then uses vbin_printf() to do
the conversions to print the string based on the format and the saved
values in the buffer.

This is an issue for dereferenced pointers, as before commit 841a915d,
the processing of the pointer could happen some time after the pointer value
was recorded (reading the trace buffer). This means the processing of the
value at a later time could show different results, or even crash the
system, if the pointer no longer existed.

Commit 841a915d addressed this by processing dereferenced pointers at
the time of execution and save the result in the ring buffer as a string.
The bstr_printf() would then treat these pointers as normal strings, and
print the value. But there was an off-by-one bug here, where after
processing the argument, it move the pointer only "strlen(arg)" which made
the arg pointer not point to the next argument in the ring buffer, but
instead point to the nul character of the last argument. This causes any
values after a dereferenced pointer to be corrupted.

      lib/vsprintf: Remove atomic-unsafe support for %pCr · 666902e4
      由 Geert Uytterhoeven 提交于 
      "%pCr" formats the current rate of a clock, and calls clk_get_rate().
The latter obtains a mutex, hence it must not be called from atomic
context.

Remove support for this rarely-used format, as vsprintf() (and e.g.
printk()) must be callable from any context.

Any remaining out-of-tree users will start seeing the clock's name
printed instead of its rate.

      vsprintf: Replace memory barrier with static_key for random_ptr_key update · 85f4f12d
      由 Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于 
      Reviewing Tobin's patches for getting pointers out early before
entropy has been established, I noticed that there's a lone smp_mb() in
the code. As with most lone memory barriers, this one appears to be
incorrectly used.

We currently basically have this:

	get_random_bytes(&ptr_key, sizeof(ptr_key));
	/*
	 * have_filled_random_ptr_key==true is dependent on get_random_bytes().
	 * ptr_to_id() needs to see have_filled_random_ptr_key==true
	 * after get_random_bytes() returns.
	 */
	smp_mb();
	WRITE_ONCE(have_filled_random_ptr_key, true);

And later we have:

	if (unlikely(!have_filled_random_ptr_key))
		return string(buf, end, "(ptrval)", spec);

/* Missing memory barrier here. */

	hashval = (unsigned long)siphash_1u64((u64)ptr, &ptr_key);

As the CPU can perform speculative loads, we could have a situation
with the following:

	CPU0				CPU1
	----				----
				   load ptr_key = 0
   store ptr_key = random
   smp_mb()
   store have_filled_random_ptr_key

				   load have_filled_random_ptr_key = true

				    BAD BAD BAD! (you're so bad!)

Because nothing prevents CPU1 from loading ptr_key before loading
have_filled_random_ptr_key.

But this race is very unlikely, but we can't keep an incorrect smp_mb() in
place. Instead, replace the have_filled_random_ptr_key with a static_branch
not_filled_random_ptr_key, that is initialized to true and changed to false
when we get enough entropy. If the update happens in early boot, the
static_key is updated immediately, otherwise it will have to wait till
entropy is filled and this happens in an interrupt handler which can't
enable a static_key, as that requires a preemptible context. In that case, a
work_queue is used to enable it, as entropy already took too long to
establish in the first place waiting a little more shouldn't hurt anything.

The benefit of using the static key is that the unlikely branch in
vsprintf() now becomes a nop.

      vsprintf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers · 841a915d
      由 Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于 
      When trace_printk() was introduced, it was discussed that making it be as
low overhead as possible, that the processing of the format string should be
delayed until it is read. That is, a "trace_printk()" should not convert
the %d into numbers and so on, but instead, save the fmt string and all the
args in the buffer at the time of recording. When the trace_printk() data is
read, it would then parse the format string and do the conversions of the
saved arguments in the tracing buffer.

The code to perform this was added to vsprintf where vbin_printf() would
save the arguments of a specified format string in a buffer, then
bstr_printf() could be used to convert the buffer with the same format
string into the final output, as if vsprintf() was called in one go.

The issue arises when dereferenced pointers are used. The problem is that
something like %*pbl which reads a bitmask, will save the pointer to the
bitmask in the buffer. Then the reading of the buffer via bstr_printf() will
then look at the pointer to process the final output. Obviously the value of
that pointer could have changed since the time it was recorded to the time
the buffer is read. Worse yet, the bitmask could be unmapped, and the
reading of the trace buffer could actually cause a kernel oops.

Another problem is that user space tools such as perf and trace-cmd do not
have access to the contents of these pointers, and they become useless when
the tracing buffer is extracted.

Instead of having vbin_printf() simply save the pointer in the buffer for
later processing, have it perform the formatting at the time bin_printf() is
called. This will fix the issue of dereferencing pointers at a later time,
and has the extra benefit of having user space tools understand these
values.

Since perf and trace-cmd already can handle %p[sSfF] via saving kallsyms,
their pointers are saved and not processed during vbin_printf(). If they
were converted, it would break perf and trace-cmd, as they would not know
how to deal with the conversion.

      symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() · 04b8eb7a
      由 Sergey Senozhatsky 提交于 
      dereference_symbol_descriptor() invokes appropriate ARCH specific
function descriptor dereference callbacks:
- dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() if the pointer is a
  kernel symbol;

- dereference_module_function_descriptor() if the pointer is a
  module symbol.

This is the last step needed to make '%pS/%ps' smart enough to
handle function descriptor dereference on affected ARCHs and
to retire '%pF/%pf'.

To refresh it:
  Some architectures (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) use an indirect pointer
  for C function pointers - the function pointer points to a function
  descriptor and we need to dereference it to get the actual function
  pointer.

  Function descriptors live in .opd elf section and all affected
  ARCHs (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) handle it properly for kernel and
  modules. So we, technically, can decide if the dereference is
  needed by simply looking at the pointer: if it belongs to .opd
  section then we need to dereference it.

  The kernel and modules have their own .opd sections, obviously,
  that's why we need to split dereference_function_descriptor()
  and use separate kernel and module dereference arch callbacks.

      Instead, just fall back on the new '%p' behavior which hashes the

Otherwise, '%pK' - that was intended to mark a pointer as restricted -
just ends up leaking pointers that a normal '%p' wouldn't leak.  Which
just make the whole thing pointless.

I suspect we should actually get rid of '%pK' entirely, and make it just
work as '%p' regardless, but this is the minimal obvious fix.  People
who actually use 'kptr_restrict' should weigh in on which behavior they

      Currently there exist approximately 14 000 places in the kernel where
addresses are being printed using an unadorned %p. This potentially
leaks sensitive information regarding the Kernel layout in memory. Many
of these calls are stale, instead of fixing every call lets hash the
address by default before printing. This will of course break some
users, forcing code printing needed addresses to be updated.

Code that _really_ needs the address will soon be able to use the new
printk specifier %px to print the address.

For what it's worth, usage of unadorned %p can be broken down as
follows (thanks to Joe Perches).

      locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

      vsprintf: Add %p extension "%pOF" for device tree · ce4fecf1
      由 Pantelis Antoniou 提交于 
      90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a
kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is
wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate
the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every
node.

For instance typical use is:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name);

Which can be written now as:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node);

'%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF'
representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the
only supported type of kobject.

More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry.

Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core
function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were
unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl
check. The unittest code was written by Grant Likely.

      sscanf: implement basic character sets · f9310b2f

      Implement basic character sets for the '%[' conversion specifier.

The '%[' conversion specifier matches a nonempty sequence of characters
from the specified set of accepted (or with '^', rejected) characters
between the brackets.  The substring matched is to be made up of
characters in (or not in) the set.  This is useful for matching
substrings that are delimited by something other than spaces.

This implementation differs from its glibc counterpart in the following ways:
 (1) No support for character ranges (e.g., 'a-z' or '0-9')
 (2) The hyphen '-' is not a special character
 (3) The closing bracket ']' cannot be matched
 (4) No support (yet) for discarding matching input ('%*[')

The bitmap code is largely based upon sample code which was provided by
Rasmus.

The motivation for adding character set support to sscanf originally
stemmed from the kernel livepatching project.  An ongoing patchset
utilizes new livepatch Elf symbol and section names to store important
metadata livepatch needs to properly apply its patches.  Such metadata
is stored in these section and symbol names as substrings delimited by
periods '.' and commas ','.  For example, a livepatch symbol name might
look like this:

.klp.sym.vmlinux.printk,0

However, sscanf currently can only extract "substrings" delimited by
whitespace using the "%s" specifier.  Thus for the above symbol name,
one cannot not use sscanf() to extract substrings "vmlinux" or
"printk", for example.  A number of discussions on the livepatch
mailing list dealing with string parsing code for extracting these '.'
and ',' delimited substrings eventually led to the conclusion that such
code would be completely unnecessary if the kernel sscanf() supported
character sets.  Thus only a single sscanf() call would be necessary to
extract these substrings.  In addition, such an addition to sscanf()
could benefit other areas of the kernel that might have a similar need
in the future.

      mm, printk: introduce new format string for flags · edf14cdb
      由 Vlastimil Babka 提交于 
      In mm we use several kinds of flags bitfields that are sometimes printed
for debugging purposes, or exported to userspace via sysfs.  To make
them easier to interpret independently on kernel version and config, we
want to dump also the symbolic flag names.  So far this has been done
with repeated calls to pr_cont(), which is unreliable on SMP, and not
usable for e.g.  sysfs export.

To get a more reliable and universal solution, this patch extends
printk() format string for pointers to handle the page flags (%pGp),
gfp_flags (%pGg) and vma flags (%pGv).  Existing users of
dump_flag_names() are converted and simplified.

It would be possible to pass flags by value instead of pointer, but the
%p format string for pointers already has extensions for various kernel
structures, so it's a good fit, and the extra indirection in a
non-critical path is negligible.
