[PATCH] rseq: fix using an uninitialized stack variable in rseq_exit_user_update

[PATCH] rseq: fix using an uninitialized stack variable in rseq_exit_user_update

[Qing Wang]

There is an bug which is an uninitialized stack variable use in
`rseq_exit_user_update()` reported by syzbot:

BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in rseq_set_ids_get_csaddr include/linux/rseq_entry.h:502 [inline]

The local variable:
```c
	struct rseq_ids ids = {
		.cpu_id	 = task_cpu(t),
		.mm_cid	 = task_mm_cid(t),
		.node_id = cpu_to_node(ids.cpu_id),
	};
```
According to the C standard, the evaluation order of expressions in an
initializer list is indeterminately sequenced. The compiler (Clang, in this
KMSAN build) evaluates `cpu_to_node(ids.cpu_id)` *before* `ids.cpu_id` is
initialized with `task_cpu(t)`.

This is fixed by moving the assignment of ids.node_id outside the structure
initialization.

I find the fix odd. How about:

int cpu = task_cpu(t);
struct rseq_ids ids = {
	.cpu_id = cpu,
	.mm_cid = task_mm_cid(t),
	.node_id = cpu_to_node(cpu),
};

instead ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

W.T.F. would they (C committee) do that :-(, and since this is
apparently a known thing, why aren't the compilers issuing WARNs about
this pattern?

Clearly any non address-of self reference in a struct initializer is
buggered.

And ideally it would actually observe the data-dependency and respect
it, irrespective of the lunacy of the C standard.

Yes, much saner.

[PATCH v2] rseq: fix using an uninitialized stack variable in rseq_exit_user_update

There is an bug which is an uninitialized stack variable use in
`rseq_exit_user_update()` reported by syzbot:

BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in rseq_set_ids_get_csaddr include/linux/rseq_entry.h:502 [inline]

FWIW, I've no idea what that ``` nonsense is, but it does not belong in

rseq: Fix using an uninitialized stack variable in rseq_exit_user_update()

There is an bug in which an uninitialized stack variable is used in
rseq_exit_user_update() as reported by syzbot:

BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in rseq_set_ids_get_csaddr include/linux/rseq_entry.h:502 [inline]

The local variable:

	struct rseq_ids ids = {
		.cpu_id	 = task_cpu(t),
		.mm_cid	 = task_mm_cid(t),
		.node_id = cpu_to_node(ids.cpu_id),
	};

According to the C standard, the evaluation order of expressions in an
initializer list is indeterminately sequenced. The compiler (Clang, in
this KMSAN build) evaluates `cpu_to_node(ids.cpu_id)` *before*
`ids.cpu_id` is initialized with `task_cpu(t)`.

This is fixed by moving the assignment of ids.node_id outside the
structure initialization.

It seems that this problem is still happening after
commit 6d99479799c6 ("rseq: Fix using an uninitialized stack variable
in rseq_exit_user_update()") was applied. Please check.

It seems is not really helpful. If you observe the problem can you
please provide the full debug splat?

This problem is still happening as of commit 9ecfb2f7287a which includes commit 6d99479799c6.

That's not a code problem. That's a KMSAN/compiler issue.

So it claims that the copy to user in rseq_set_ids_get_csaddr() is
leaking kernel info through an unitialized variable.

The ids struct is on stack and was initialized correctly ...

And then it claims that the local variable was created in a completely
unrelated piece of code:

> Local variable st.i.i created at:
>  __do_sys_statfs fs/statfs.c:193 [inline]
>  __se_sys_statfs fs/statfs.c:191 [inline]

>  x64_sys_call+0x334c/0x3ea0 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:138

The above backtrace clearly tells that the CPU cannot have been in that
code because it's in a user mode page fault exception.

> Bytes 0-3 of 4 are uninitialized

The code is correct and does the right thing, so something is wrong in
KMSAN land. Alexander?

Thanks,
