let import_iovec deal with compat_iovecs as well v4

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi Al,

this series changes import_iovec to transparently deal with compat iovec
structures, and then cleanups up a lot of code dupliation.

Changes since v3:
 - fix up changed prototypes in compat.h as well

Changes since v2:
 - revert the switch of the access process vm sysclls to iov_iter
 - refactor the import_iovec internals differently
 - switch aio to use __import_iovec

Changes since v1:
 - improve a commit message
 - drop a pointless unlikely
 - drop the PF_FORCE_COMPAT flag
 - add a few more cleanups (including two from David Laight)

[PATCH 2/9] iov_iter: move rw_copy_check_uvector() into lib/iov_iter.c

[Christoph Hellwig]

From: David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM>

This lets the compiler inline it into import_iovec() generating
much better code.

[PATCH 3/9] iov_iter: refactor rw_copy_check_uvector and import_iovec

[Christoph Hellwig]

Split rw_copy_check_uvector into two new helpers with more sensible
calling conventions:

 - iovec_from_user copies a iovec from userspace either into the provided
   stack buffer if it fits, or allocates a new buffer for it.  Returns
   the actually used iovec.  It also verifies that iov_len does fit a
   signed type, and handles compat iovecs if the compat flag is set.
 - __import_iovec consolidates the native and compat versions of
   import_iovec. It calls iovec_from_user, then validates each iovec
   actually points to user addresses, and ensures the total length
   doesn't overflow.

This has two major implications:

 - the access_process_vm case loses the total lenght checking, which
   wasn't required anyway, given that each call receives two iovecs
   for the local and remote side of the operation, and it verifies
   the total length on the local side already.
 - instead of a single loop there now are two loops over the iovecs.
   Given that the iovecs are cache hot this doesn't make a major
   difference

[PATCH 4/9] iov_iter: transparently handle compat iovecs in import_iovec

[Christoph Hellwig]

Use in compat_syscall to import either native or the compat iovecs, and
remove the now superflous compat_import_iovec.

This removes the need for special compat logic in most callers, and
the remaining ones can still be simplified by using __import_iovec
with a bool compat parameter.

[PATCH 5/9] fs: remove various compat readv/writev helpers

[Christoph Hellwig]

Now that import_iovec handles compat iovecs as well, all the duplicated
code in the compat readv/writev helpers is not needed.  Remove them
and switch the compat syscall handlers to use the native helpers.

[PATCH 9/9] security/keys: remove compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov

[Christoph Hellwig]

Now that import_iovec handles compat iovecs, the native version of
keyctl_instantiate_key_iov can be used for the compat case as well.

Strangely, this commit causes a regression in Linus's tree right now.

I can't really figure out what the regression is, only that this commit
triggers a "large Android system binary" from working properly.  There's
no kernel log messages anywhere, and I don't have any way to strace the
thing in the testing framework, so any hints that people can provide
would be most appreciated.

thanks,

My original commit just moved the function source from one file to another.
So it is odd that it makes any difference.
I don't even know if it gets inlined by Christoph's actual patch.
(I have another patch that depended on it that I need to resubmit.)

Some of the other changes from Christoph's same patch set might
make a difference though.

Might be worth forcing it to be not inlined - so it is no change.
Or try adding a kernel log to import_iovec() or the associated
copy failing.

It's a pure move - modulo changed line breaks in the argument lists
the functions involved are identical before and after that (just checked
that directly, by checking out the trees before and after, extracting two
functions in question from fs/read_write.c and lib/iov_iter.c (before and
after, resp.) and checking the diff between those.

How certain is your bisection?

The bisection is very reproducable.

But, this looks now to be a compiler bug.  I'm using the latest version
of clang and if I put "noinline" at the front of the function,
everything works.

Nick, any ideas here as to who I should report this to?

I'll work on a fixup patch for the Android kernel tree to see if I can
work around it there, but others will hit this in Linus's tree sooner or
later...

thanks,

Well, the compiler can do more invasive optimizations when inlining. If
you have buggy code that relies on some unspecified behavior, inlining
can change the behavior ... but going over that code, there isn't too
much action going on. At least nothing screamed at me.

Apart from all the optimisations that get rid off the 'pass be reference'
parameters and strange conditional tests.
Plenty of scope for the compiler getting it wrong.
But nothing even vaguely illegal.

I agree, I hate to blame the compiler, that's almost never the real
problem, but this one sure "feels" like it.

I'm running some more tests, trying to narrow things down as just adding
a "noinline" to the function that got moved here doesn't work on Linus's
tree at the moment because the function was split into multiple
functions.

Give me a few hours...

Usually down to missing asm 'memory' constraints...

Need to read the obj file to see what the compiler did.

The code must be 'approximately right' or nothing would run.
So I'd guess it has to do with > 8 fragments.

I was going to look at that once rc2 is in - and the kernel is
likely to work.

I suspect the split version doesn't get inlined the same way?
Which leaves the horrid argument conversion the inline got
rid of back there again.

Which all rather begs the question of why the compiler doesn't
generate the expected code.

I might be wrong but

a) import_iovec() uses:
- unsigned nr_segs -> int
- unsigned fast_segs -> int
b) rw_copy_check_uvector() uses:
- unsigned long nr_segs -> long
- unsigned long fast_seg -> long

So when calling rw_copy_check_uvector(), we have to zero-extend the
registers used for passing the arguments. That's definitely done when
calling the function explicitly. Maybe when inlining something is messed up?

Just a thought ...

... especially because I recall that clang and gcc behave slightly
differently:

https://github.com/hjl-tools/x86-psABI/issues/2

"Function args are different: narrow types are sign or zero extended to
32 bits, depending on their type. clang depends on this for incoming
args, but gcc doesn't make that assumption. But both compilers do it
when calling, so gcc code can call clang code.

The upper 32 bits of registers are always undefined garbage for types
smaller than 64 bits."

Again, just a thought.

That's also not needed on x86-64 - the high bits get cleared by 32bit writes.
But, IIRC, arm64 leaves them unchanged or undefined.

I guessing that every array access uses a *(Rx + Ry) addressing
mode. So indexing an array even with 'unsigned int' requires
an explicit zero-extend on arm64?
(x86-64 ends up with an explicit sign extend when indexing an
array with 'signed int'.)

It really is best to use 'int' (or even 'long') for all numeric
arguments (and results) regardless of the domain of the value.

Related, I've always worried about 'bool'....

On x86-64 the high bits are zeroed by all 32bit loads.

Yeah, but does not help here.


My thinking: if the compiler that calls import_iovec() has garbage in
the upper 32 bit

a) gcc will zero it out and not rely on it being zero.
b) clang will not zero it out, assuming it is zero.

But

a) will zero it out when calling the !inlined variant
b) clang will zero it out when calling the !inlined variant

When inlining, b) strikes. We access garbage. That would mean that we
have calling code that's not generated by clang/gcc IIUC.

We can test easily by changing the parameters instead of adding an "inline".

Ok, that didn't work.

And I can't seem to "fix" this by adding noinline to patches further
along in the patch series (because this commit's function is no longer
present due to later patches.)

Will keep digging...

We might have the same issues with iovec_from_user() and friends now.

Might be worth to give this a try, just to see if it's related to
garbage in upper 32 bit and the way clang is handling it (might be a BUG
in clang, though):

instead.  Will go try this too, as other tests are still running...

Most callchains of import_iovec start with the assembly syscall wrappers.

I don't know how to extract the .s files easily from the AOSP build
system, I'll look into that.  I'm also now testing by downgrading to an
older version of clang (10 instead of 11), to see if that matters at all
or not...

Back from a day out - after it stopped raining.
Trying to use up leave before the end of the year.

Can you use objdump on the kernel binary itself and cut out
the single function?

Wait...
readv(2) defines:
	ssize_t readv(int fd, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt);

But the syscall is defined as:

SYSCALL_DEFINE3(readv, unsigned long, fd, const struct iovec __user *, vec,
                unsigned long, vlen)
{
        return do_readv(fd, vec, vlen, 0);
}

I'm guessing that nothing actually masks the high bits that come
from an application that is compiled with clang?

The vlen is 'unsigned long' through the first few calls.
So unless there is a non-inlined function than takes vlen
as 'int' the high garbage bits from userspace are kept.

Which makes it a bug in the kernel C syscall wrappers.
They need to explicitly mask the high bits of 32bit
arguments on arm64 but not x86-64.

What does the ARM EABI say about register parameters?

It doesn't really matter what the manpage says.  What does the AOSP

The only copy I can find is:

/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/uio.h:extern ssize_t readv (int __fd, const struct iovec *__iovec, int __count)
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/uio.h-  __wur;

and not surprisingly agrees.
POSIX and/or TOG will (more or less) mandate the prototype.

I wonder when the high bits of 'fd' get zapped?

Same: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/refs/heads/master/libc/include/sys/uio.h#38

Theoretically someone could bypass libc to make a system call, right?

Yeah, that's likely a bug: https://godbolt.org/z/KfsPKs

Why not x86-64? Wouldn't it be *any* LP64 ISA?

Attaching a patch that uses the proper width, but I'm pretty sure
there's still a signedness issue .  Greg, would you mind running this
through the wringer?

>

AAPCS is the ABI for 64b ARM, IIUC, which is the ISA GKH is reporting
the problem against. IIUC, EABI is one of the 32b ABIs.  aarch64 is
LP64 just like x86_64.

Subject: [PATCH] fs: fix up type confusion in readv/writev

The syscall interface doesn't match up with the interface libc is using
or that's defined in the manual pages.

ssize_t readv(int fd, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt);
ssize_t writev(int fd, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt);

The kernel was defining `iovcnt` as `unsigned long` which is a problem
when userspace understands this to be `int`.

(There's still likely a signedness bug here, but use the proper widths
that import_iovec() expects.)

Oh interesting, depends on the operations too on x86_64 IIUC?

Passing an `unsigned long` as an `unsigned int` does no such
narrowing: https://godbolt.org/z/TvfMxe (same vice-versa, just tail
calls, no masking instructions).
So if rw_copy_check_uvector() is inlined into import_iovec() (looking
at the mainline@1028ae406999), then children calls of
`rw_copy_check_uvector()` will be interpreting the `nr_segs` register
unmodified, ie. garbage in the upper 32b.

FWIW,

void f(unsinged long v)
{
	if (v != 1)
		printf("failed\n");
}

void g(unsigned int v)
{
	f(v);
}

void h(unsigned long v)
{
	g(v);
}

main()
{
	h(0x100000001);
}

must not produce any output on a host with 32bit int and 64bit long, regardless of
the inlining, having functions live in different compilation units, etc.

Depending upon the calling conventions, compiler might do truncation in caller or
in a callee, but it must be done _somewhere_.

Unless I'm misreading AAPCS64,
	"Unlike in the 32-bit AAPCS, named integral values must be narrowed by the callee
	 rather than the caller"
in 6.4.2 means that callee must not _not_ expect the upper 32 bits of %x0..%x7 to contain
anything valid for 32bit arguments and it must zero-extend %w0..%w7 when passing that to
something that expects a 64bit argument.  On inlining it should be the same situation as
storing unsigned int argument into unsigned long local variable and working with that - if

void f(unsigned int w)
{
	unsigned long x = w;
	printf("%lx\n", x);
}

ends up passing %x0 to printf, it's an obvious bug - it must do something like
	uxtw x0, w0
first.

What am I missing here?

Sorry, artefact of editing - that's

"in 6.4.2 means that callee must _not_ expect the upper 32 bits of %x0..%x7 to contain"

obviously.

A good/analogous example, but things get weird when the leaf node in
the call chain is inline asm: https://godbolt.org/z/s19TY5

(I'm not sure that's precisely what's going on here; I'll need to dive
more into the calls rw_copy_check_uvector() makes to see if there's
inline asm somewhere, pretty sure calls to get_user with `nr_regs`
exist).

FWIW, glibc makes the readv() syscall assuming that fd and vlen are 'int' as
well.  So this problem isn't specific to Android's libc.

From objdump -d /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6:

	00000000000f4db0 <readv@@GLIBC_2.2.5>:
	   f4db0:       64 8b 04 25 18 00 00    mov    %fs:0x18,%eax
	   f4db7:       00
	   f4db8:       85 c0                   test   %eax,%eax
	   f4dba:       75 14                   jne    f4dd0 <readv@@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x20>
	   f4dbc:       b8 13 00 00 00          mov    $0x13,%eax
	   f4dc1:       0f 05                   syscall
	   ...

There's some code for pthread cancellation, but no zeroing of the upper half of
the fd and vlen arguments, which are in %edi and %edx respectively.  But the
glibc function prototype uses 'int' for them, not 'unsigned long'
'ssize_t readv(int fd, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt);'.

So the high halves of the fd and iovcnt registers can contain garbage.  Or at
least that's what gcc (9.3.0) and clang (9.0.1) assume; they both compile the
following

void g(unsigned int x);

void f(unsigned long x)
{
        g(x);
}

into f() making a tail call to g(), without zeroing the top half of %rdi.

Also note the following program succeeds on Linux 5.9 on x86_64.  On kernels
that have this bug, it should fail.  (I couldn't get it to actually fail, so it
must depend on the compiler and/or the kernel config...)

	#include <fcntl.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <sys/syscall.h>
	#include <sys/uio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	int main()
	{
		int fd = open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY);
		char buf[1000];
		struct iovec iov = { .iov_base = buf, .iov_len = sizeof(buf) };
		long ret;

		ret = syscall(__NR_readv, fd, &iov, 0x100000001);
		if (ret < 0)
			perror("readv failed");
		else
			printf("read %ld bytes\n", ret);
	}

I think the right fix is to change the readv() (and writev(), etc.) syscalls to
take 'unsigned int' rather than 'unsigned long', as that is what the users are
assuming...

It doesn't.  See https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg147836.html for
discussion of that mess.

ssize_t vfs_readv(struct file *file, const struct iovec __user *vec,
                  unsigned long vlen, loff_t *pos, rwf_t flags)
{
        struct iovec iovstack[UIO_FASTIOV];
        struct iovec *iov = iovstack;
        struct iov_iter iter;
        ssize_t ret;

        ret = import_iovec(READ, vec, vlen, ARRAY_SIZE(iovstack), &iov, &iter);
        if (ret >= 0) {
                ret = do_iter_read(file, &iter, pos, flags);
                kfree(iov);
        }

        return ret;
}

and import_iovec() takes unsigned int as the third argument, so it *will*
truncate to 32 bits, no matter what.  Has done so since 0504c074b546
"switch {compat_,}do_readv_writev() to {compat_,}import_iovec()" back in
March 2015.  Yes, it was an incompatible userland ABI change, even though
nothing that used glibc/uclibc/dietlibc would've noticed.

Better yet, up until 2.1.90pre1 passing a 64bit value as the _first_ argument
of readv(2) used to fail with -EBADF if it was too large; at that point it
started to get quietly truncated to 32bit first.  And again, no libc users
would've noticed (neither would anything except deliberate regression test
looking for that specific behaviour).

Note that we also have process_madvise(2) with size_t for vlen (huh?  It's
a number of array elements, not an object size) and process_vm_{read,write}v(2),
that have unsigned long for the same thing.  And the last two *are* using
the same unsigned long from glibc POV.

Right but is the called function going to use 32bit ops
and/or mask the register?
Certainly that is likely on x86-64.

I've rather lost track of where the masking is expected
to happen.

Put g() in a separate compilation unit and use the 'wrong' type
in the prototypes t() used to call g() and g() uses to call f().

Then you might see where and masking does (or does not) happen.

I've rammed the code into godbolt.

https://godbolt.org/z/9v5PPW

Definitely a clang bug.

Search for [wx]24 in the clang output.
nr_segs comes in as w2 and the initial bound checks are done on w2.
w24 is loaded from w2 - I don't believe this changes the high bits.
There are no references to w24, just x24.
So the kmalloc_array() is passed 'huge' and will fail.
The iov_iter_init also gets the 64bit value.

Note that the gcc code has a sign-extend copy of w2.

Do we have a result from using "unsigned long" in the base function and
explicitly masking of the high bits? That should definitely work.

Now, I am not a compiler expert, but as I already cited, at least on
x86-64 clang expects that the high bits were cleared by the caller - in
contrast to gcc. I suspect it's the same on arm64, but again, I am no
compiler expert.

If what I said and cites for x86-64 is correct, if the function expects
an "unsigned int", it will happily use 64bit operations without further
checks where valid when assuming high bits are zero. That's why even
converting everything to "unsigned int" as proposed by me won't work on
clang - it assumes high bits are zero (as indicated by Nick).

As I am neither a compiler experts (did I mention that already? ;) ) nor
an arm64 experts, I can't tell if this is a compiler BUG or not.

Main issue seems to be garbage in high bits as originally suggested by me.

The interesting case is having g() in a separate compilation unit and
force-calling g() with 0x100000001 via inline ASM. So forcing garbage
into high bits.

I'll paly with it.

Ah ok, but gcc uses utxw for the same task.
I guess they could be the same opcode.

Last time I wrote ARM thumb didn't really exist - never mind 64bit

I just checked against upstream code generated by clang 10 and it
properly discards the upper 32bit via a mov w23 w2.

So at least clang 10 indeed properly assumes we could have garbage and
masks it off.

Maybe the issue is somewhere else, unrelated to nr_pages ... or clang 11
behaves differently.

We'll need the disassembly from a failing kernel image.

I've worked around the merge at the moment in the android tree, but it
is still quite reproducable, and will try to get a .o file to

I just compiled pre and post fb041b598997d63c0f7d7305dfae70046bf66fe1 with

clang version 11.0.0 (Fedora 11.0.0-0.2.rc1.fc33)

On arm64 when callee expects a 32bit argument, the caller is *not* responsible
for clearing the upper half of 64bit register used to pass the value - it only
needs to store the actual value into the lower half.  The callee must consider
the contents of the upper half of that register as undefined.  See AAPCS64 (e.g.
https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/master/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst#parameter-passing-rules
); AFAICS, the relevant bit is
	"Unlike in the 32-bit AAPCS, named integral values must be narrowed by
the callee rather than the caller."

So, in essence, if the value is in a 64bit register the calling
code is independent of the actual type of the formal parameter.
Clearly a value might need explicit widening.

I've found a copy of the 64 bit arm instruction set.
Unfortunately it is alpha sorted and repetitive so shows none
of the symmetry and makes things difficult to find.
But, contrary to what someone suggested most register writes
(eg from arithmetic) seem to zero/extend the high bits.

No, this says that if you pass a 32-bit integer in a 64-bit register,
then the top 32 bits of that register hold an undefined value.

All of this is ABI, not ISA.  Look at the AAPCS64 pointed to above.

Everything that writes a "w" does, yes.  But that has nothing to do with
the parameter passing rules, that is ABI.  It just means that very often
a 32-bit integer will be passed zero-extended in a 64-bit register, but
that is just luck (or not, it makes finding bugs harder ;-) )

That's sort of what I meant.
The 'normal' junk in the hight bits will there because the variable
in the calling code is wider.

Working out why the code is wrong is more of an ISA issue than an ABI one.
It may be an ABI one, but the analysis is ISA.

I've written a lot of asm over the years - decoding compiler generated
asm isn't that hard.
At least ARM doesn't have annulled delay slots.

Did this get properly resolved?

For some reason, 5.10-rc2 fixed all of this up.  I backed out all of the
patches I had to revert to get 5.10-rc1 to work properly, and then did
the merge and all is well.

It must have been something to do with the compat changes in this same
area that went in after 5.10-rc1, and something got reorganized in the
files somehow.  I really do not know, and at the moment, don't have the
time to track it down anymore.  So for now, I'd say it's all good, sorry
for the noise.

Hopefully it won't appear again.

Saved me spending a day off reading arm64 assembler.
