Subject: [PATCH] x86/syscall: Avoid memcpy() for ia32 syscall_get_arguments()
Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2024 13:22:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240708202202.work.477-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
Modern (fortified) memcpy() prefers to avoid writing (or reading) beyond
the end of the addressed destination (or source) struct member:
In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
inlined from ‘syscall_get_arguments’ at ./arch/x86/include/asm/syscall.h:85:2,
inlined from ‘populate_seccomp_data’ at kernel/seccomp.c:258:2,
inlined from ‘__seccomp_filter’ at kernel/seccomp.c:1231:3:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:580:25: error: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’ declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
580 | __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As already done for x86_64 and compat mode, do not use memcpy() to
extract syscall arguments from struct pt_regs but rather just perform
direct assignments. Binary output differences are negligible, and actually
ends up using less stack space:
- sub $0x84,%esp
+ sub $0x6c,%esp
and less text size:
text data bss dec hex filename
10794 252 0 11046 2b26 gcc-32b/kernel/seccomp.o.stock
10714 252 0 10966 2ad6 gcc-32b/kernel/seccomp.o.after
