This same issue has\nbeen reported by the Intel kernel test robot previously.\n\nDigging deeper into both LLVM and the kernel code reveals this to be a\nundefined behavior problem. ip_vs_protocol_init() uses a on-stack buffer\nof 64 chars to store the registered protocol names and leaves it\nuninitialized after definition. The function calls strnlen() when\nconcatenating protocol names into the buffer. With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE\nstrnlen() performs an extra step to check whether the last byte of the\ninput char buffer is a null character (commit 3009f891bb9f (\"fortify:\nAllow strlen() and strnlen() to pass compile-time known lengths\")).\nThis, together with possibly other configurations, cause the following\nIR to be generated:\n\n define hidden i32 @ip_vs_protocol_init() local_unnamed_addr #5 section \".init.text\" align 16 !kcfi_type !29 {\n %1 = alloca [64 x i8], align 16\n ...\n\n 14: ; preds = %11\n %15 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63\n %16 = load i8, ptr %15, align 1\n %17 = tail call i1 @llvm.is.constant.i8(i8 %16)\n %18 = icmp eq i8 %16, 0\n %19 = select i1 %17, i1 %18, i1 false\n br i1 %19, label %20, label %23\n\n 20: ; preds = %14\n %21 = call i64 @strlen(ptr noundef nonnull dereferenceable(1) %1) #23\n ...\n\n 23: ; preds = %14, %11, %20\n %24 = call i64 @strnlen(ptr noundef nonnull dereferenceable(1) %1, i64 noundef 64) #24\n ...\n }\n\nThe above code calculates the address of the last char in the buffer\n(value %15) and then loads from it (value %16). Because the buffer is\nnever initialized, the LLVM GVN pass marks value %16 as undefined:\n\n %13 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63\n br i1 undef, label %14, label %17\n\nThis gives later passes (SCCP, in particular) more DCE opportunities by\npropagating the undef value further, and eventually removes everything\nafter the load on the uninitialized stack location:\n\n define hidden i32 @ip_vs_protocol_init() local_unnamed_addr #0 section \".init.text\" align 16 !kcfi_type !11 {\n %1 = alloca [64 x i8], align 16\n ...\n\n 12: ; preds = %11\n %13 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63\n unreachable\n }\n\nIn this way, the generated native code will just fall through to the\nnext function, as LLVM does not generate any code for the unreachable IR\ninstruction and leaves the function without a terminator.\n\nZero the on-stack buffer to avoid this possible UB.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "31d1ddc1ce8e8d3f101a679243abb42a313ee88a" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "0b2cbed82b7c6504a8a0fbd181f92dd56b432c12" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "d6e1776f51c95827142f1d7064118e255e2deec1" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "664d0feab92495b6a27edc3d1119e232c0fe8b2b" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "124834133b32f9386bb2d8581d9ab92f65e951e4" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "48130002e64fd191b7d18efeb4d253fcc23e4688" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "146b6f1112eb30a19776d6c323c994e9d67790db" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "2.6.12" }, { "version": "5.4.287", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*" }, { "version": "5.10.231", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*" }, { "version": "5.15.174", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.120", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.66", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.5", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.13", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
