Subject: [ 051/104] Wrong asm register contraints in the futex implementation
3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stephan Schreiber <info@...driver.org>
commit 136f39ddc53db3bcee2befbe323a56d4fbf06da8 upstream.
The Linux Kernel contains some inline assembly source code which has
wrong asm register constraints in arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h.
I observed this on Kernel 3.2.23 but it is also true on the most
recent Kernel 3.9-rc1.
File arch/ia64/include/asm/futex.h:
static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
return -EFAULT;
{
register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8");
unsigned long prev;
__asm__ __volatile__(
" mf;; \n"
" mov %0=r0 \n"
" mov ar.ccv=%4;; \n"
"[1:] cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv \n"
" .xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-. \n"
"[2:]"
: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
"rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
: "memory");
*uval = prev;
return r8;
}
}
The list of output registers is
: "=r" (r8), "=r" (prev)
The constraint "=r" means that the GCC has to maintain that these vars
are in registers and contain valid info when the program flow leaves
the assembly block (output registers).
But "=r" also means that GCC can put them in registers that are used
as input registers. Input registers are uaddr, newval, oldval on the
example.
The second assembly instruction
" mov %0=r0 \n"
is the first one which writes to a register; it sets %0 to 0. %0 means
the first register operand; it is r8 here. (The r0 is read-only and
always 0 on the Itanium; it can be used if an immediate zero value is
needed.)
This instruction might overwrite one of the other registers which are
still needed.
Whether it really happens depends on how GCC decides what registers it
uses and how it optimizes the code.
The objdump utility can give us disassembly.
The futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() function is inline, so we have to
look for a module that uses the funtion. This is the
cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() function in
kernel/futex.c:
static int cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(u32 *curval, u32 __user *uaddr,
u32 uval, u32 newval)
{
int ret;
pagefault_disable();
ret = futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(curval, uaddr, uval, newval);
pagefault_enable();
return ret;
}
Now the disassembly. At first from the Kernel package 3.2.23 which has
been compiled with GCC 4.4, remeber this Kernel seemed to work:
objdump -d linux-3.2.23/debian/build/build_ia64_none_mckinley/kernel/futex.o

are the instructions of the assembly block.
The line
2b6: 80 00 00 00 42 00 mov r8=r0
sets the r8 register to 0 and after that
2c0: 0b 00 20 40 2a 04 [MMI] mov.m ar.ccv=r8;;
prepares the 'oldvalue' for the cmpxchg but it takes it from r8. This
is wrong.
What happened here is what I explained above: An input register is
overwritten which is still needed.
The register operand constraints in futex.h are wrong.
(The problem doesn't occur when the Kernel is compiled with GCC 4.6.)
The attached patch fixes the register operand constraints in futex.h.
The code after patching of it:
static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
return -EFAULT;
{
register unsigned long r8 __asm ("r8") = 0;
unsigned long prev;
__asm__ __volatile__(
" mf;; \n"
" mov ar.ccv=%4;; \n"
"[1:] cmpxchg4.acq %1=[%2],%3,ar.ccv \n"
" .xdata4 \"__ex_table\", 1b-., 2f-. \n"
"[2:]"
: "+r" (r8), "=&r" (prev)
: "r" (uaddr), "r" (newval),
"rO" ((long) (unsigned) oldval)
: "memory");
*uval = prev;
return r8;
}
}
I also initialized the 'r8' var with the C programming language.
The _asm qualifier on the definition of the 'r8' var forces GCC to use
the r8 processor register for it.
I don't believe that we should use inline assembly for zeroing out a
local variable.
The constraint is
"+r" (r8)
what means that it is both an input register and an output register.
Note that the page fault handler will modify the r8 register which
will be the return value of the function.
The real fix is
"=&r" (prev)
The & means that GCC must not use any of the input registers to place
this output register in.
Patched the Kernel 3.2.23 and compiled it with GCC4.4:

Much better.
There is a
270: 05 40 00 00 00 e1 [MLX] mov r8=r0
which was generated by C code r8 = 0. Below
2b6: 00 10 81 54 08 00 mov.m ar.ccv=r34
what means that oldval is no longer overwritten.
This is Debian bug#702641
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702641).
The patch is applicable on Kernel 3.9-rc1, 3.2.23 and many other versions.
