scripts/headers_check.pl can detect references to CONFIG options in exported headers, but it has been disabled for more than a decade. Reverting commit 7e3fa5614117 ("kbuild: drop check for CONFIG_ in headers_check") would emit the following warnings for headers_check on x86: usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:283: leaks CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/elfcore.h:62: leaks CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/atmdev.h:104: leaks CONFIG_COMPAT to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/raw.h:17: leaks CONFIG_MAX_RAW_DEVS to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/pktcdvd.h:37: leaks CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD_WCACHE to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:2465: leaks CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:249: leaks CONFIG_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:819: leaks CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_CLASSID to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:1011: leaks CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_CLASSID to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:1742: leaks CONFIG_BPF_KPROBE_OVERRIDE to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:1747: leaks CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:1936: leaks CONFIG_XFRM to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:2184: leaks CONFIG_BPF_LIRC_MODE2 to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:2210: leaks CONFIG_BPF_LIRC_MODE2 to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:2227: leaks CONFIG_SOCK_CGROUP_DATA to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:2311: leaks CONFIG_NET to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:2348: leaks CONFIG_NET to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:2422: leaks CONFIG_BPF_LIRC_MODE2 to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/bpf.h:2528: leaks CONFIG_NET to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/eventpoll.h:82: leaks CONFIG_PM_SLEEP to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:27: leaks CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/cm4000_cs.h:26: leaks CONFIG_COMPAT to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/linux/pkt_cls.h:301: leaks CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h:651: leaks CONFIG_MMU to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/asm-generic/fcntl.h:119: leaks CONFIG_64BIT to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/asm-generic/bitsperlong.h:9: leaks CONFIG_64BIT to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/asm/e820.h:14: leaks CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/asm/e820.h:39: leaks CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/asm/e820.h:49: leaks CONFIG_INTEL_TXT to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/asm/mman.h:7: leaks CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS to userspace where it is not valid usr/include/asm/auxvec.h:14: leaks CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION to userspace where it is not valid Most of these are false positives because scripts/headers_check.pl parses comment lines. It is also false negative. arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/auxvec.h contains CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION and CONFIG_X86_64, but the only former is reported. It would be possible to fix scripts/headers_check.pl, of course. However, we already have some duplicated checks between headers_check and CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST. At this moment of time, there are still dozens of headers excluded from the header test (usr/include/Makefile), but we might be able to remove headers_check when the time comes. I re-implemented it in scripts/headers_install.sh by using sed because the most of code in scripts/headers_install.sh is written is sed. This patch works like this: [1] Run scripts/unifdef first because we need to drop the code surrounded by #ifdef __KERNEL__ ... #endif [2] Remove all C style comments. The sed code is somewhat complicated since we need to deal with both single and multi line comments. Precisely speaking, a comment block is replaced with a space just in case. CONFIG_FOO/* this is a comment */CONFIG_BAR should be converted into: CONFIG_FOO CONFIG_BAR instead of: CONFIG_FOOCONFIG_BAR [3] Match CONFIG_... pattern. It correctly matches to all CONFIG options that appear in a single line. After this commit, you will see the following warnings, all of which are real ones. warning: include/uapi/linux/elfcore.h: leaks CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC to user-space warning: include/uapi/linux/atmdev.h: leaks CONFIG_COMPAT to user-space warning: include/uapi/linux/raw.h: leaks CONFIG_MAX_RAW_DEVS to user-space warning: include/uapi/linux/pktcdvd.h: leaks CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD_WCACHE to user-space warning: include/uapi/linux/eventpoll.h: leaks CONFIG_PM_SLEEP to user-space warning: include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: leaks CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS to user-space warning: include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h: leaks CONFIG_64BIT to user-space warning: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/mman.h: leaks CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS to user-space warning: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/auxvec.h: leaks CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION to user-space warning: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/auxvec.h: leaks CONFIG_X86_64 to user-space Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I was playing with sed yesterday, but the resulted code might be unreadable. Sed scripts tend to be somewhat unreadable. I just wondered which language is appropriate for this? Maybe perl, or what else? I am not good at perl, though. Maybe, it will be better to fix existing warnings before enabling this check. If somebody takes a closer look at them, that would be great. scripts/headers_install.sh | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+) diff --git a/scripts/headers_install.sh b/scripts/headers_install.sh index bbaf29386995..73d95e457090 100755 --- a/scripts/headers_install.sh +++ b/scripts/headers_install.sh @@ -41,5 +41,34 @@ sed -E -e ' scripts/unifdef -U__KERNEL__ -D__EXPORTED_HEADERS__ $TMPFILE > $OUTFILE [ $? -gt 1 ] && exit 1 +# Remove /* ... */ style comments, and find CONFIG_ references in code +configs=$(sed -e ' +:comment + s:/\*[^*][^*]*:/*: + s:/\*\*\**\([^/]\):/*\1: + t comment + s:/\*\*/: : + t comment + /\/\*/! b check + N + b comment +:print + P + D +:check + s:^[^[:alnum:]_][^[:alnum:]_]*:: + t check + s:^\(CONFIG_[[:alnum:]_]*\):\1\n: + t print + s:^[[:alnum:]_][[:alnum:]_]*:: + t check + d +' $OUTFILE) + +for c in $configs +do + echo "warning: $INFILE: leaks $c to user-space" >&2 +done + rm -f $TMPFILE trap - EXIT -- 2.17.1
