[PATCH v12 34/69] dyndbg: harden classmap and descriptor validation
From: Jim Cromie
Date: Thu Mar 26 2026 - 15:00:47 EST
Dynamic debug classmaps allow modules to _DEFINE and/or _USE multiple
classmaps, but this requires coordination amongst the classmaps.
Previously, class validation done by DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE at
compile-time, and ddebug_class_range_overlap() at modprobe-time, was
incomplete, and DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE_ had no validation. This
could allow broken classmaps, making them harder to use well.
This commit improves classmap and descriptor validation:
- Mirror the compile-time limits of _DEFINE by adding a static_assert
to validate the _offset value passed to DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE_.
- Add run-time overlap checks for _USEd classmaps in ddebug_add_module()
to prevent collisions between private maps and imported APIs.
- Scan module descriptors at load time to print a single warning per
missing class_id, rather than waiting for a user query to trip over it.
- Downgrade the global WARN_ONCE in ddebug_match_desc() to a
pr_warn_ratelimited, since orphaned class IDs are now tracked and
warned about early at module load.

-v12 - squash several enhancments together
drop run-time USE check, now done at compile-time
s/WARN_ONCE/pr_err/, dont need stack trace for this, and do want
multiple error reports, so dont quit on 1st err.
Now that DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE_() has an offset parameter, it is
possible for a user to specify an illegal value - one that shifts the
bit-range past the 64 bit max. The macro detects an offset > 63, but
this isn't enough; the legal max is:
map.length - 1 + map.base + user.offset < 64
Testing class-map vs class-user overlap is nonsense if the class-user
range extends past the implemented limit. So check that 1st, before
looking for map/user overlap.
To validate this, add ifdef DD_RUNTIME_CLASS_CHECK code to
test_dynamic_debug_submod.ko. When its enabled, it creates a bad
class-user record via:
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE_(map_level_num, 55);
bash-5.3# modprobe test_dynamic_debug_submod
[ 19.359818] dyndbg: 23 debug prints in module test_dynamic_debug
[ 19.366239] dyndbg: module test_dynamic_debug_submod: base:16 + classes.len:8 + cli.offset:55 must be < 63
[ 19.366612] dyndbg: dyndbg multi-classmap conflict in test_dynamic_debug_submod
[ 19.366945] dyndbg: dyndbg: failed to add module test_dynamic_debug_submod: -22
Finally, replace the misleading "Failed to allocate memory" WARN in
the module notifier with a pr_err that reports the specific failure
code without the stack-trace.
