commit 3347acc6fcd4ee71ad18a9ff9d9dac176b517329 upstream.

Commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") neglected to copy barrier_data() from
compiler-gcc.h into compiler-clang.h.

The definition in compiler-gcc.h was really to work around clang's more
aggressive optimization, so this broke barrier_data() on clang, and
consequently memzero_explicit() as well.

For example, this results in at least the memzero_explicit() call in
lib/crypto/sha256.c:sha256_transform() being optimized away by clang.

Fix this by moving the definition of barrier_data() into compiler.h.

Also move the gcc/clang definition of barrier() into compiler.h,
__memory_barrier() is icc-specific (and barrier() is already defined
using it in compiler-intel.h) and doesn't belong in compiler.h.

[ Upstream commit 3e2ffd655cc6a694608d997738989ff5572a8266 ]

Since commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") clang no longer reuses the OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR macro
from compiler-gcc - instead it gets the version in
include/linux/compiler.h.  Unfortunately that version doesn't actually
prevent compiler from optimizing out the variable.

Fix up by moving the macro out from compiler-gcc.h to compiler.h.
Compilers without incline asm support will keep working
since it's protected by an ifdef.

Also fix up comments to match reality since we are no longer overriding
any macros.

Build-tested with gcc and clang.

Commit cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6")
recently exposed a brittle part of the build for supporting non-gcc
compilers.

Both Clang and ICC define __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, and
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ for quick compatibility with code bases that haven't
added compiler specific checks for __clang__ or __INTEL_COMPILER.

This is brittle, as they happened to get compatibility by posing as a
certain version of GCC.  This broke when upgrading the minimal version
of GCC required to build the kernel, to a version above what ICC and
Clang claim to be.

Rather than always including compiler-gcc.h then undefining or
redefining macros in compiler-intel.h or compiler-clang.h, let's
separate out the compiler specific macro definitions into mutually
exclusive headers, do more proper compiler detection, and keep shared
definitions in compiler_types.h.

<title>compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and add fallback code</title>
<updated>2018-05-31T23:41:41+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=f0907827a8a9152aedac2833ed1b674a7b2a44f2'/>
<id>f0907827a8a9152aedac2833ed1b674a7b2a44f2</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds wrappers for the __builtin overflow checkers present in gcc
5.1+ as well as fallback implementations for earlier compilers. It's not
that easy to implement the fully generic __builtin_X_overflow(T1 a, T2
b, T3 *d) in macros, so the fallback code assumes that T1, T2 and T3 are
the same. We obviously don't want the wrappers to have different
semantics depending on $GCC_VERSION, so we also insist on that even when
using the builtins.

There are a few problems with the 'a+b &lt; a' idiom for checking for
overflow: For signed types, it relies on undefined behaviour and is
not actually complete (it doesn't check underflow;
e.g. INT_MIN+INT_MIN == 0 isn't caught). Due to type promotion it
is wrong for all types (signed and unsigned) narrower than
int. Similarly, when a and b does not have the same type, there are
subtle cases like

  u32 a;

  if (a + sizeof(foo) &lt; a)
    return -EOVERFLOW;
  a += sizeof(foo);

where the test is always false on 64 bit platforms. Add to that that it
is not always possible to determine the types involved at a glance.

The new overflow.h is somewhat bulky, but that's mostly a result of
trying to be type-generic, complete (e.g. catching not only overflow
but also signed underflow) and not relying on undefined behaviour.

Linus is of course right [1] that for unsigned subtraction a-b, the
right way to check for overflow (underflow) is "b &gt; a" and not
"__builtin_sub_overflow(a, b, &amp;d)", but that's just one out of six cases
covered here, and included mostly for completeness.

So is it worth it? I think it is, if nothing else for the documentation
value of seeing

  if (check_add_overflow(a, b, &amp;d))
    return -EGOAWAY;
  do_stuff_with(d);

instead of the open-coded (and possibly wrong and/or incomplete and/or
UBsan-tickling)

  if (a+b &lt; a)
    return -EGOAWAY;
  do_stuff_with(a+b);

While gcc does recognize the 'a+b &lt; a' idiom for testing unsigned add
overflow, it doesn't do nearly as good for unsigned multiplication
(there's also no single well-established idiom). So using
check_mul_overflow in kcalloc and friends may also make gcc generate
slightly better code.

KASAN uses the __no_sanitize_address macro to disable instrumentation of
particular functions.  Right now it's defined only for GCC build, which
causes false positives when clang is used.

This patch adds a definition for clang.

Note, that clang's revision 329612 or higher is required.

The original intent for always adding the anonymous struct in
task_struct was to make sure we had compiler coverage.

However, this caused pathological padding of 40 bytes at the start of
task_struct.  Instead, move the anonymous struct to being only used when
struct layout randomization is enabled.

Patch series "kasan: support alloca, LLVM", v4.

This patch (of 5):

For now we can hard-code ASAN ABI level 5, since historical clang builds
can't build the kernel anyway.  We also need to emulate gcc's
__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ flag, or memset() calls won't be instrumented.

<title>include/linux/compiler-clang.h: handle randomizable anonymous structs</title>

<id>4ca59b14e588f873795a11cdc77a25c686a29d23</id>
<content type='text'>
The GCC randomize layout plugin can randomize the member offsets of
sensitive kernel data structures.  To use this feature, certain
annotations and members are added to the structures which affect the
member offsets even if this plugin is not used.

All of these structures are completely randomized, except for task_struct
which leaves out some of its members.  All the other members are wrapped
within an anonymous struct with the __randomize_layout attribute.  This is
done using the randomized_struct_fields_start and
randomized_struct_fields_end defines.

When the plugin is disabled, the behaviour of this attribute can vary
based on the GCC version.  For GCC 5.1+, this attribute maps to
__designated_init otherwise it is just an empty define but the anonymous
structure is still present.  For other compilers, both
randomized_struct_fields_start and randomized_struct_fields_end default
to empty defines meaning the anonymous structure is not introduced at
all.

So, if a module compiled with Clang, such as a BPF program, needs to
access task_struct fields such as pid and comm, the offsets of these
members as recognized by Clang are different from those recognized by
modules compiled with GCC.  If GCC 4.6+ is used to build the kernel,
this can be solved by introducing appropriate defines for Clang so that
the anonymous structure is seen when determining the offsets for the
members.
