2022-01-20lib/list_debug.c: print more list debugging context in __list_del_entry_valid()Zhen Lei
Currently, the entry->prev and entry->next are considered to be valid as long as they are not LIST_POISON{1|2}. However, the memory may be corrupted. The prev->next is invalid probably because 'prev' is invalid, not because prev->next's content is illegal. Unfortunately, the printk and its subfunctions will modify the registers that hold the 'prev' and 'next', and we don't see this valuable information in the BUG context. So print the contents of 'entry->prev' and 'entry->next'. Here's an example: list_del corruption. prev->next should be c0ecbf74, but was c08410dc kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:53! ... ...

Later, I carefully analyzed the RCU code and the disassembly code. The error occurred when deleting a node from the list rcu_state.gp_wq. The System.map shows that the address of rcu_state is c0840c00. Then I use gdb to obtain the offset of rcu_state.gp_wq.task_list. (gdb) p &((struct rcu_state *)0)->gp_wq.task_list $1 = (struct list_head *) 0x4dc Again: list_del corruption. prev->next should be c0ecbf74, but was c08410dc c08410dc = c0840c00 + 0x4dc = &rcu_state.gp_wq.task_list Because rcu_state.gp_wq has at most one node, so I can guess that "prev = &rcu_state.gp_wq.task_list". But for other scenes, maybe I wasn't so lucky, I cannot figure out the value of 'prev'.

2018-04-11lib/list_debug.c: print unmangled addressesMatthew Wilcox
The entire point of printing the pointers in list_debug is to see if there's any useful information in them (eg poison values, ASCII, etc); obscuring them to see if they compare equal makes them much less useful. If an attacker can force this message to be printed, we've already lost.

2017-02-24bug: switch data corruption check to __must_checkKees Cook
The CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro was designed to have callers do something meaningful/protective on failure. However, using "return false" in the macro too strictly limits the design patterns of callers. Instead, let callers handle the logic test directly, but make sure that the result IS checked by forcing __must_check (which appears to not be able to be used directly on macro expressions).

2016-10-31bug: Provide toggle for BUG on data corruptionKees Cook
The kernel checks for cases of data structure corruption under some CONFIGs (e.g. CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST). When corruption is detected, some systems may want to BUG() immediately instead of letting the system run with known corruption. Usually these kinds of manipulation primitives can be used by security flaws to gain arbitrary memory write control. This provides a new config CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION and a corresponding macro CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION for handling these situations. Notably, even if not BUGing, the kernel should not continue processing the corrupted structure. This is inspired by similar hardening by Syed Rameez Mustafa in MSM kernels, and in PaX and Grsecurity, which is likely in response to earlier removal of the BUG calls in commit 924d9addb9b1 ("list debugging: use WARN() instead of BUG()").

2016-10-31list: Split list_add() debug checking into separate functionKees Cook
Right now, __list_add() code is repeated either in list.h or in list_debug.c, but the only differences between the two versions are the debug checks. This commit therefore extracts these debug checks into a separate __list_add_valid() function and consolidates __list_add(). Additionally this new __list_add_valid() function will stop list manipulations if a corruption is detected, instead of allowing for further corruption that may lead to even worse conditions.

2016-03-09list: kill list_force_poison()Dan Williams
Given we have uninitialized list_heads being passed to list_add() it will always be the case that those uninitialized values randomly trigger the poison value. Especially since a list_add() operation will seed the stack with the poison value for later stack allocations to trip over. For example, see these two false positive reports: list_add attempted on force-poisoned entry WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:34 [..] NIP [c00000000043c390] __list_add+0xb0/0x150 LR [c00000000043c38c] __list_add+0xac/0x150 Call Trace: __list_add+0xac/0x150 (unreliable) __down+0x4c/0xf8 down+0x68/0x70 xfs_buf_lock+0x4c/0x150 [xfs] list_add attempted on force-poisoned entry(0000000000000500), new->next == d0000000059ecdb0, new->prev == 0000000000000500 WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:33 [..] NIP [c00000000042db78] __list_add+0xa8/0x140 LR [c00000000042db74] __list_add+0xa4/0x140 Call Trace: __list_add+0xa4/0x140 (unreliable) rwsem_down_read_failed+0x6c/0x1a0 down_read+0x58/0x60 xfs_log_commit_cil+0x7c/0x600 [xfs] Fixes: commit 5c2c2587b132 ("mm, dax, pmem: introduce {get|put}_dev_pagemap() for dax-gup") Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Reported-by: Eryu Guan <eguan@redhat.com> Tested-by: Eryu Guan <eguan@redhat.com> Cc: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-01-15mm, dax, pmem: introduce {get|put}_dev_pagemap() for dax-gupDan Williams
get_dev_page() enables paths like get_user_pages() to pin a dynamically mapped pfn-range (devm_memremap_pages()) while the resulting struct page objects are in use. Unlike get_page() it may fail if the device is, or is in the process of being, disabled. While the initial lookup of the range may be an expensive list walk, the result is cached to speed up subsequent lookups which are likely to be in the same mapped range. devm_memremap_pages() now requires a reference counter to be specified at init time. For pmem this means moving request_queue allocation into pmem_alloc() so the existing queue usage counter can track "device pages". ZONE_DEVICE pages always have an elevated count and will never be on an lru reclaim list. That space in 'struct page' can be redirected for other uses, but for safety introduce a poison value that will always trip __list_add() to assert. This allows half of the struct list_head storage to be reclaimed with some assurance to back up the assumption that the page count never goes to zero and a list_add() is never attempted.

2011-02-18Expand CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST to several other list operationsLinus Torvalds
When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries. However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that. So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries, we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them.. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
