Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Fix some incompatibilites between KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE
3 KASAN self-tests fail on a kernel with both KASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE:
memchr, memcmp and strlen. I have observed this on x86 and powerpc.
When FORTIFY_SOURCE is on, a number of functions are replaced with
fortified versions, which attempt to check the sizes of the
operands. However, these functions often directly invoke __builtin_foo()
once they have performed the fortify check.
This breaks things in 2 ways:
- the three function calls are technically dead code, and can be
eliminated. When __builtin_ versions are used, the compiler can detect
this.
- Using __builtins may bypass KASAN checks if the compiler decides to
inline it's own implementation as sequence of instructions, rather than
emit a function call that goes out to a KASAN-instrumented
implementation.
The patches address each reason in turn. Finally, test_memcmp used a
stack array without explicit initialisation, which can sometimes break
too, so fix that up.
v3: resend with Reviewed-bys, hopefully for inclusion in 5.8.
v2: - some cleanups, don't mess with arch code as I missed some wrinkles.
- add stack array init (patch 3)
Daniel Axtens (3):
kasan: stop tests being eliminated as dead code with FORTIFY_SOURCE
string.h: fix incompatibility between FORTIFY_SOURCE and KASAN
kasan: initialise array in kasan_memcmp test
