ftrace: arm64: remove static ftrace

2022-11-25T12:11:50+00:00

The build test robot pointer out that there's a build failure when:

  CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y
  CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n

... due to some mismatched ifdeffery, some of which checks
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and some of which checks
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, leading to some missing definitions expected
by the core code when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n and consequently
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n.

There's really not much point in supporting CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n (AKA
static ftrace). All supported toolchains allow us to implement
DYNAMIC_FTRACE, distributions all prefer DYNAMIC_FTRACE, and both
powerpc and s390 removed support for static ftrace in commits:

  0c0c52306f4792a4 ("powerpc: Only support DYNAMIC_FTRACE not static")
  5d6a0163494c78ad ("s390/ftrace: enforce DYNAMIC_FTRACE if FUNCTION_TRACER is selected")

... and according to Steven, static ftrace is only supported on x86 to
allow testing that the core code still functions in this configuration.

Given that, let's simplify matters by removing arm64's support for
static ftrace. This avoids the problem originally reported, and leaves
us with less code to maintain.

ftrace: arm64: move from REGS to ARGS

2022-11-18T13:56:41+00:00

This commit replaces arm64's support for FTRACE_WITH_REGS with support
for FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. This removes some overhead and complexity, and
removes some latent issues with inconsistent presentation of struct
pt_regs (which can only be reliably saved/restored at exception
boundaries).

FTRACE_WITH_REGS has been supported on arm64 since commit:

  3b23e4991fb66f6d ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs")

As noted in the commit message, the major reasons for implementing
FTRACE_WITH_REGS were:

(1) To make it possible to use the ftrace graph tracer with pointer
    authentication, where it's necessary to snapshot/manipulate the LR
    before it is signed by the instrumented function.

(2) To make it possible to implement LIVEPATCH in future, where we need
    to hook function entry before an instrumented function manipulates
    the stack or argument registers. Practically speaking, we need to
    preserve the argument/return registers, PC, LR, and SP.

Neither of these need a struct pt_regs, and only require the set of
registers which are live at function call/return boundaries. Our calling
convention is defined by "Procedure Call Standard for the Arm® 64-bit
Architecture (AArch64)" (AKA "AAPCS64"), which can currently be found
at:

  https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst

Per AAPCS64, all function call argument and return values are held in
the following GPRs:

* X0 - X7 : parameter / result registers
* X8      : indirect result location register
* SP      : stack pointer (AKA SP)

Additionally, ad function call boundaries, the following GPRs hold
context/return information:

* X29 : frame pointer (AKA FP)
* X30 : link register (AKA LR)

... and for ftrace we need to capture the instrumented address:

 * PC  : program counter

No other GPRs are relevant, as none of the other arguments hold
parameters or return values:

* X9  - X17 : temporaries, may be clobbered
* X18       : shadow call stack pointer (or temorary)
* X19 - X28 : callee saved

This patch implements FTRACE_WITH_ARGS for arm64, only saving/restoring
the minimal set of registers necessary. This is always sufficient to
manipulate control flow (e.g. for live-patching) or to manipulate
function arguments and return values.

This reduces the necessary stack usage from 336 bytes for pt_regs down
to 112 bytes for ftrace_regs + 32 bytes for two frame records, freeing
up 188 bytes. This could be reduced further with changes to the
unwinder.

As there is no longer a need to save different sets of registers for
different features, we no longer need distinct `ftrace_caller` and
`ftrace_regs_caller` trampolines. This allows the trampoline assembly to
be simpler, and simplifies code which previously had to handle the two
trampolines.

I've tested this with the ftrace selftests, where there are no
unexpected failures.

arm64: ftrace: fix module PLTs with mcount

2022-09-29T16:47:54+00:00

Li Huafei reports that mcount-based ftrace with module PLTs was broken
by commit:

  a6253579977e4c6f ("arm64: ftrace: consistently handle PLTs.")

When a module PLTs are used and a module is loaded sufficiently far away
from the kernel, we'll create PLTs for any branches which are
out-of-range. These are separate from the special ftrace trampoline
PLTs, which the module PLT code doesn't directly manipulate.

When mcount is in use this is a problem, as each mcount callsite in a
module will be initialized to point to a module PLT, but since commit
a6253579977e4c6f ftrace_make_nop() will assume that the callsite has
been initialized to point to the special ftrace trampoline PLT, and
ftrace_find_callable_addr() rejects other cases.

This means that when ftrace tries to initialize a callsite via
ftrace_make_nop(), the call to ftrace_find_callable_addr() will find
that the `_mcount` stub is out-of-range and is not handled by the ftrace
PLT, resulting in a splat:

arm64: ftrace: consistently handle PLTs.

2022-06-15T15:14:47+00:00

Sometimes it is necessary to use a PLT entry to call an ftrace
trampoline. This is handled by ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop(),
with each having *almost* identical logic, but this is not handled by
ftrace_modify_call() since its introduction in commit:

  3b23e4991fb66f6d ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs")

Due to this, if we ever were to call ftrace_modify_call() for a callsite
which requires a PLT entry for a trampoline, then either:

a) If the old addr requires a trampoline, ftrace_modify_call() will use
   an out-of-range address to generate the 'old' branch instruction.
   This will result in warnings from aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() and
   ftrace_modify_code(), and no instructions will be modified. As
   ftrace_modify_call() will return an error, this will result in
   subsequent internal ftrace errors.

b) If the old addr does not require a trampoline, but the new addr does,
   ftrace_modify_call() will use an out-of-range address to generate the
   'new' branch instruction. This will result in warnings from
   aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm(), and ftrace_modify_code() will replace
   the 'old' branch with a BRK. This will result in a kernel panic when
   this BRK is later executed.

Practically speaking, case (a) is vastly more likely than case (b), and
typically this will result in internal ftrace errors that don't
necessarily affect the rest of the system. This can be demonstrated with
an out-of-tree test module which triggers ftrace_modify_call(), e.g.

We can solve this by consistently determining whether to use a PLT entry
for an address.

Note that since (the earlier) commit:

  f1a54ae9af0da4d7 ("arm64: module/ftrace: intialize PLT at load time")

... we can consistently determine the PLT address that a given callsite
will use, and therefore ftrace_make_nop() does not need to skip
validation when a PLT is in use.

This patch factors the existing logic out of ftrace_make_call() and
ftrace_make_nop() into a common ftrace_find_callable_addr() helper
function, which is used by ftrace_make_call(), ftrace_make_nop(), and
ftrace_modify_call(). In ftrace_make_nop() the patching is consistently
validated by ftrace_modify_code() as we can always determine what the
old instruction should have been.

arm64: ftrace: fix branch range checks

2022-06-15T15:14:46+00:00

The branch range checks in ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop() are
incorrect, erroneously permitting a forwards branch of 128M and
erroneously rejecting a backwards branch of 128M.

This is because both functions calculate the offset backwards,
calculating the offset *from* the target *to* the branch, rather than
the other way around as the later comparisons expect.

If an out-of-range branch were erroeously permitted, this would later be
rejected by aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() as branch_imm_common() checks
the bounds correctly, resulting in warnings and the placement of a BRK
instruction. Note that this can only happen for a forwards branch of
exactly 128M, and so the caller would need to be exactly 128M bytes
below the relevant ftrace trampoline.

If an in-range branch were erroeously rejected, then:

* For modules when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=y, this would result in the
  use of a PLT entry, which is benign.

  Note that this is the common case, as this is selected by
  CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE (and therefore RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL),
  which distributions typically seelct. This is also selected by
  CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419.

* For modules when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=n, this would result in
  internal ftrace failures.

* For core kernel text, this would result in internal ftrace failues.

  Note that for this to happen, the kernel text would need to be at
  least 128M bytes in size, and typical configurations are smaller tha
  this.

Fix this by calculating the offset *from* the branch *to* the target in
both functions.

arm64/ftrace: Make function graph use ftrace directly

2022-04-29T18:21:12+00:00

As we do in commit 0c0593b45c9b ("x86/ftrace: Make function graph
use ftrace directly"), we don't need special hook for graph tracer,
but instead we use graph_ops:func function to install return_hooker.

Since commit 3b23e4991fb6 ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs") add
implementation for FTRACE_WITH_REGS on arm64, we can easily adopt
the same cleanup on arm64.

And this cleanup only changes the FTRACE_WITH_REGS implementation,
so the mcount-based implementation is unaffected.

While in theory it would be possible to make a similar cleanup for
!FTRACE_WITH_REGS, this will require rework of the core code, and
so for now we only change the FTRACE_WITH_REGS implementation.

arm64: ftrace: use HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR

2021-11-16T09:47:54+00:00

When CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is selected and the function graph
tracer is in use, unwind_frame() may erroneously associate a traced
function with an incorrect return address. This can happen when starting
an unwind from a pt_regs, or when unwinding across an exception
boundary.

This can be seen when recording with perf while the function graph
tracer is in use. For example:

| # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
| # perf record -g -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter:k /bin/true
| # perf report

... reports the callchain erroneously as:

| el0t_64_sync
| el0t_64_sync_handler
| el0_svc_common.constprop.0
| perf_callchain
| get_perf_callchain
| syscall_trace_enter
| syscall_trace_enter

... whereas when the function graph tracer is not in use, it reports:

| el0t_64_sync
| el0t_64_sync_handler
| el0_svc
| do_el0_svc
| el0_svc_common.constprop.0
| syscall_trace_enter
| syscall_trace_enter

The underlying problem is that ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() takes an
index offset from the most recent entry added to the fgraph return
stack. We start an unwind at offset 0, and increment the offset each
time we encounter a rewritten return address (i.e. when we see
`return_to_handler`). This is broken in two cases:

1) Between creating a pt_regs and starting the unwind, function calls
   may place entries on the stack, leaving an arbitrary offset which we
   can only determine by performing a full unwind from the caller of the
   unwind code (and relying on none of the unwind code being
   instrumented).

   This can result in erroneous entries being reported in a backtrace
   recorded by perf or kfence when the function graph tracer is in use.
   Currently show_regs() is unaffected as dump_backtrace() performs an
   initial unwind.

2) When unwinding across an exception boundary (whether continuing an
   unwind or starting a new unwind from regs), we currently always skip
   the LR of the interrupted context. Where this was live and contained
   a rewritten address, we won't consume the corresponding fgraph ret
   stack entry, leaving subsequent entries off-by-one.

   This can result in erroneous entries being reported in a backtrace
   performed by any in-kernel unwinder when that backtrace crosses an
   exception boundary, with entries after the boundary being reported
   incorrectly. This includes perf, kfence, show_regs(), panic(), etc.

To fix this, we need to be able to uniquely identify each rewritten
return address such that we can map this back to the original return
address. We can use HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR to associate
each rewritten return address with a unique location on the stack. As
the return address is passed in the LR (and so is not guaranteed a
unique location in memory), we use the FP upon entry to the function
(i.e. the address of the caller's frame record) as the return address
pointer. Any nested call will have a different FP value as the caller
must create its own frame record and update FP to point to this.

Since ftrace_graph_ret_addr() requires the return address with the PAC
stripped, the stripping of the PAC is moved before the fixup of the
rewritten address. As we would unconditionally strip the PAC, moving
this earlier is not harmful, and we can avoid a redundant strip in the
return address fixup code.

I've tested this with the perf case above, the ftrace selftests, and
a number of ad-hoc unwinder tests. The tests all pass, and I have seen
no unexpected behaviour as a result of this change. I've tested with
pointer authentication under QEMU TCG where magic-sysrq+l correctly
recovers the original return addresses.

Note that this doesn't fix the issue of skipping a live LR at an
exception boundary, which is a more general problem and requires more
substantial rework. Were we to consume the LR in all cases this would
result in warnings where the interrupted context's LR contains
`return_to_handler`, but the FP has been altered, e.g.

| func:
|	<--- ftrace entry ---> 	// logs FP & LR, rewrites LR
| 	STP	FP, LR, [SP, #-16]!
| 	MOV	FP, SP
| 	<--- INTERRUPT --->

... as ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() fill not find a matching entry,
triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() in unwind_frame().

ftrace: Cleanup ftrace_dyn_arch_init()

2021-10-08T23:41:39+00:00

Most of ARCHs use empty ftrace_dyn_arch_init(), introduce a weak common
ftrace_dyn_arch_init() to cleanup them.
