Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 03/78] stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
3.13.11-ckt32 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>
commit 8779657d29c0ebcc0c94ede4df2f497baf1b563f upstream.
This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of
"None", "Regular", and "Strong":
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
"Regular" means the old CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y option.
"Strong" is a new mode introduced by this patch. With "Strong" the
kernel is built with -fstack-protector-strong (available in
gcc 4.9 and later). This option increases the coverage of the stack
protector without the heavy performance hit of -fstack-protector-all.
For reference, the stack protector options available in gcc are:
-fstack-protector-all:
Adds the stack-canary saving prefix and stack-canary checking
suffix to _all_ function entry and exit. Results in substantial
use of stack space for saving the canary for deep stack users
(e.g. historically xfs), and measurable (though shockingly still
low) performance hit due to all the saving/checking. Really not
suitable for sane systems, and was entirely removed as an option
from the kernel many years ago.
-fstack-protector:
Adds the canary save/check to functions that define an 8
(--param=ssp-buffer-size=N, N=8 by default) or more byte local
char array. Traditionally, stack overflows happened with
string-based manipulations, so this was a way to find those
functions. Very few total functions actually get the canary; no
measurable performance or size overhead.
-fstack-protector-strong
Adds the canary for a wider set of functions, since it's not
just those with strings that have ultimately been vulnerable to
stack-busting. With this superset, more functions end up with a
canary, but it still remains small compared to all functions
with only a small change in performance. Based on the original
design document, a function gets the canary when it contains any
of:
- local variable's address used as part of the right hand side
of an assignment or function argument
- local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
regardless of array type or length
- uses register local variables

Find below a comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with
gcc-4.9 in three configurations:
- defconfig
11430641 kernel text size
36110 function bodies
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)
With -strong, ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack
protection, so a static guard was added. Since this is only used
during decompression and was never used before, the exposure
here is very small. Once it switches to the full kernel, the
stack guard is back to normal.
Chrome OS has been using -fstack-protector-strong for its kernel
builds for the last 8 months with no problems.
