From b0b8e56b82c06b3bb6e5fb66d0e9c9c3fd3ce555 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jann Horn Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 00:49:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Permit __kasan_check_{read,write} under UACCESS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Building linux-next with JUMP_LABEL=n and KASAN=y, I got this objtool warning: arch/x86/lib/copy_mc.o: warning: objtool: copy_mc_to_user()+0x22: call to __kasan_check_read() with UACCESS enabled What happens here is that copy_mc_to_user() branches on a static key in a UACCESS region:         __uaccess_begin();         if (static_branch_unlikely(©_mc_fragile_key))                 ret = copy_mc_fragile(to, from, len);         ret = copy_mc_generic(to, from, len);         __uaccess_end(); and the !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL version of static_branch_unlikely() uses static_key_enabled(), which uses static_key_count(), which uses atomic_read(), which calls instrument_atomic_read(), which uses kasan_check_read(), which is __kasan_check_read(). Let's permit these KASAN helpers in UACCESS regions - static keys should probably work under UACCESS, I think. PeterZ adds: It's not a matter of permitting, it's a matter of being safe and correct. In this case it is, because it's a thin wrapper around check_memory_region() which was already marked safe. check_memory_region() is correct because the only thing it ends up calling is kasa_report() and that is also marked safe because that is annotated with user_access_save/restore() before it does anything else. On top of that, all of KASAN is noinstr, so nothing in here will end up in tracing and/or call schedule() before the user_access_save().
