      ubsan: Tighten UBSAN_BOUNDS on GCC · 2d47c695
      Kees Cook authored 
      
The use of -fsanitize=bounds on GCC will ignore some trailing arrays,
leaving a gap in coverage. Switch to using -fsanitize=bounds-strict to
match Clang's stricter behavior.

      kbuild: move CFLAGS_{KASAN,UBSAN,KCSAN} exports to relevant Makefiles · bb273211
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      
Move CFLAGS_KASAN*, CFLAGS_UBSAN, CFLAGS_KCSAN to Makefile.kasan,
Makefile.ubsan, Makefile.kcsan, respectively.

This commit also avoids the same -fsanitize=* flags being added to
CFLAGS_UBSAN multiple times.

Prior to this commit, the ubsan flags were appended by the '+='
operator, without any initialization. Some build targets such as
'make bindeb-pkg' recurses to the top Makefile, and ended up with
adding the same flags to CFLAGS_UBSAN twice.

Clear CFLAGS_UBSAN with ':=' to make it a simply expanded variable.
This is better than a recursively expanded variable, which evaluates
$(call cc-option, ...) multiple times before Kbuild starts descending
to subdirectories.

      ubsan: split "bounds" checker from other options · 277a1085
      Kees Cook authored 
      In order to do kernel builds with the bounds checker individually
available, introduce CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS, with the remaining options under
CONFIG_UBSAN_MISC.

For example, using this, we can start to expand the coverage syzkaller is
providing.  Right now, all of UBSan is disabled for syzbot builds because
taken as a whole, it is too noisy.  This will let us focus on one feature
at a time.

For the bounds checker specifically, this provides a mechanism to
eliminate an entire class of array overflows with close to zero
performance overhead (I cannot measure a difference).  In my (mostly)
defconfig, enabling bounds checking adds ~4200 checks to the kernel.
Performance changes are in the noise, likely due to the branch predictors
optimizing for the non-fail path.

Some notes on the bounds checker:

- it does not instrument {mem,str}*()-family functions, it only
  instruments direct indexed accesses (e.g. "foo[i]"). Dealing with
  the {mem,str}*()-family functions is a work-in-progress around
  CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE[1].

- it ignores flexible array members, including the very old single
  byte (e.g. "int foo[1];") declarations. (Note that GCC's
  implementation appears to ignore _all_ trailing arrays, but Clang only
  ignores empty, 0, and 1 byte arrays[2].)

      ubsan: add trap instrumentation option · 0887a7eb
      Kees Cook authored 
      
Patch series "ubsan: Split out bounds checker", v5.

This splits out the bounds checker so it can be individually used.  This
is enabled in Android and hopefully for syzbot.  Includes LKDTM tests for
behavioral corner-cases (beyond just the bounds checker), and adjusts
ubsan and kasan slightly for correct panic handling.

This patch (of 6):

The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer can operate in two modes: warning
reporting mode via lib/ubsan.c handler calls, or trap mode, which uses
__builtin_trap() as the handler.  Using lib/ubsan.c means the kernel image
is about 5% larger (due to all the debugging text and reporting structures
to capture details about the warning conditions).  Using the trap mode,
the image size changes are much smaller, though at the loss of the
"warning only" mode.

In order to give greater flexibility to system builders that want minimal
changes to image size and are prepared to deal with kernel code being
aborted and potentially destabilizing the system, this introduces
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP.  The resulting image sizes comparison:

   text    data     bss       dec       hex     filename
19533663   6183037  18554956  44271656  2a38828 vmlinux.stock
19991849   7618513  18874448  46484810  2c54d4a vmlinux.ubsan
19712181   6284181  18366540  44362902  2a4ec96 vmlinux.ubsan-trap

CONFIG_UBSAN=y:      image +4.8% (text +2.3%, data +18.9%)
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y: image +0.2% (text +0.9%, data +1.6%)

Additionally adjusts the CONFIG_UBSAN Kconfig help for clarity and removes
the mention of non-existing boot param "ubsan_handle".

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored 
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard...

      Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1" · a76bcf55
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables
enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it
also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation
of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases
[2].

Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false
positives, and in commit e74fc973 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized
when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that
was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.  This drastically reduced the number
of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had
the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig'
builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and
remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed.

With commit 877417e6 ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7
and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in
an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings
for ARM randconfig builds.

However, commit 6e8d666e ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning
globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for
all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had
not addressed until then.  This caused a lot of actual bugs to get
merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during
the v4.9 development cycle.  Most of these are actual bugs, some are for
correct code that is safe because it is only called under external
constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees,
and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can
obviously never happen.

I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected
all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can
provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is
interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch
the actual bugs earlier.

This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now
brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into
mainline without introducing false positives.  A follow-up patch enables
it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because
of false-positives.

      Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally · 6e8d666e

Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
it generates a lot of false positives.  But some had not, and it was
still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.

Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
that causes more problems than the warning can solve.

If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
re-enable this warning.  But as is, we're better off without it, and I
want to be able to see the *real* warnings.
