Hi! This is v2 of a series that I started, uuuh, almost a year ago. (Sorry...) v1 was at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230825211426.3798691-1-jannh@xxxxxxxxxx/ The purpose of the series is to allow KASAN to detect use-after-free access in SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU slab caches, by essentially making them behave as if the cache was not SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU but instead every kfree() in the cache was a kfree_rcu(). This is gated behind a config flag that is supposed to only be enabled in fuzzing/testing builds where the performance impact doesn't matter. Patch 1/2 is new; it's some necessary prep work for the main patch to work, though the KASAN integration maybe is a bit ugly. Patch 2/2 is a rebased version of the old patch, with some changes to how the config is wired up, with poison/unpoison logic added as suggested by dvyukov@ back then, with cache destruction fixed using rcu_barrier() as pointed out by dvyukov@ and the test robot, and a test added as suggested by elver@. Output of the new kunit testcase I added to the KASAN test suite: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in kmem_cache_rcu_uaf+0x3ae/0x4d0 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88810d3c8000 by task kunit_try_catch/225 CPU: 7 PID: 225 Comm: kunit_try_catch Tainted: G B N 6.10.0-00003-gf0fc688e25ed #422 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x53/0x70 print_report+0xce/0x670 [...] kasan_report+0xa5/0xe0 [...] kmem_cache_rcu_uaf+0x3ae/0x4d0 [...] kunit_try_run_case+0x1b3/0x490 [...] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x80/0xe0 kthread+0x2a5/0x370 [...] ret_from_fork+0x34/0x70 [...] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 </TASK> Allocated by task 225: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 __kasan_slab_alloc+0x6e/0x70 kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0xef/0x2b0 kmem_cache_rcu_uaf+0x10d/0x4d0 kunit_try_run_case+0x1b3/0x490 kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x80/0xe0 kthread+0x2a5/0x370 ret_from_fork+0x34/0x70 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 Freed by task 0: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x3b/0x60 __kasan_slab_free+0x47/0x70 slab_free_after_rcu_debug+0xee/0x240 rcu_core+0x676/0x15b0 handle_softirqs+0x22f/0x690 irq_exit_rcu+0x84/0xb0 sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6a/0x80 asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 Last potentially related work creation: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 __kasan_record_aux_stack+0x8e/0xa0 __call_rcu_common.constprop.0+0x70/0xa70 kmem_cache_rcu_uaf+0x16e/0x4d0 kunit_try_run_case+0x1b3/0x490 kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x80/0xe0 kthread+0x2a5/0x370 ret_from_fork+0x34/0x70 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88810d3c8000 which belongs to the cache test_cache of size 200 The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of freed 200-byte region [ffff88810d3c8000, ffff88810d3c80c8) The buggy address belongs to the physical page: page: refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x10d3c8 head: order:1 mapcount:0 entire_mapcount:0 nr_pages_mapped:0 pincount:0 flags: 0x200000000000040(head|node=0|zone=2) page_type: 0xffffefff(slab) raw: 0200000000000040 ffff88810d3c2000 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 00000000801f001f 00000001ffffefff 0000000000000000 head: 0200000000000040 ffff88810d3c2000 dead000000000122 0000000000000000 head: 0000000000000000 00000000801f001f 00000001ffffefff 0000000000000000 head: 0200000000000001 ffffea000434f201 ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 head: 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected Memory state around the buggy address: ffff88810d3c7f00: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc ffff88810d3c7f80: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc >ffff88810d3c8000: fa fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb ^ ffff88810d3c8080: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fc fc fc fc fc fc fc ffff88810d3c8100: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc ================================================================== ok 38 kmem_cache_rcu_uaf Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Jann Horn (2): kasan: catch invalid free before SLUB reinitializes the object slub: Introduce CONFIG_SLUB_RCU_DEBUG include/linux/kasan.h | 20 +++++++++++++ mm/Kconfig.debug | 25 ++++++++++++++++ mm/kasan/common.c | 63 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- mm/kasan/kasan_test.c | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mm/slab.h | 3 ++ mm/slab_common.c | 12 ++++++++ mm/slub.c | 82 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 7 files changed, 229 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 0c3836482481200ead7b416ca80c68a29cfdaabd change-id: 20240723-kasan-tsbrcu-b715a901f776 -- Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>
