[PATCH v11 00/20] Compile-time stack validation

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Mon Aug 24 2015 - 10:53:45 EST


This is v11 of the compile-time stack validation patch set, along with
proposed fixes for many of the warnings it found. It's based on the
tip/master branch.

The only real change since v10 is some improvements in patch 3 to the
documentation and changelog which attempt to better describe why stack
validation is needed.

v10 can be found here:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1439521412.git.jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx

For more information about the motivation behind this patch set, and
more details about what it does, please see the changelog in patch 3.
Patch 3 also has Documentation/stack-validation.txt which has further
details.

Patches 1-5 are the stackvalidate tool and some related macros.

Patches 6-20 are some proposed fixes for several of the warnings
reported by stackvalidate. They've been compile-tested and boot tested
in a VM, but I haven't attempted any meaningful testing for many of
them.

v11:
- attempt to answer the "why" question better in the documentation and
commit message
- s/FP_SAVE/FRAME_BEGIN/ in documentation

v10:
- add scripts/mod to directory ignores
- remove circular dependencies for ignored objects which are built
before stackvalidate
- fix CONFIG_MODVERSIONS incompatibility

v9:
- rename FRAME/ENDFRAME -> FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END
- fix jump table issue for when the original instruction is a jump
- drop paravirt thunk alignment patch
- add maintainers to CC for proposed warning fixes

v8:
- add proposed fixes for warnings
- fix all memory leaks
- process ignores earlier and add more ignore checks
- always assume POPCNT alternative is enabled
- drop hweight inline asm fix
- drop __schedule() ignore patch
- change .Ltemp_\@ to .Lstackvalidate_ignore_\@ in asm macro
- fix CONFIG_* checks in asm macros
- add C versions of ignore macros and frame macros
- change ";" to "\n" in C macros
- add ifdef CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION checks in C ignore macros
- use numbered label in C ignore macro
- add missing break in switch case statement in arch-x86.c

v7:
- sibling call support
- document proposed solution for inline asm() frame pointer issues
- say "kernel entry/exit" instead of "context switch"
- clarify the checking of switch statement jump tables
- discard __stackvalidate_ignore_* sections in linker script
- use .Ltemp_\@ to get a unique label instead of static 3-digit number
- change STACKVALIDATE_IGNORE_FUNC variable to a static
- move STACKVALIDATE_IGNORE_INSN to arch-specific .h file

v6:
- rename asmvalidate -> stackvalidate (again)
- gcc-generated object file support
- recursive branch state analysis
- external jump support
- fixup/exception table support
- jump label support
- switch statement jump table support
- added documentation
- detection of "noreturn" dead end functions
- added a Kbuild mechanism for skipping files and dirs
- moved frame pointer macros to arch/x86/include/asm/frame.h
- moved ignore macros to include/linux/stackvalidate.h

v5:
- stackvalidate -> asmvalidate
- frame pointers only required for non-leaf functions
- check for the use of the FP_SAVE/RESTORE macros instead of manually
analyzing code to detect frame pointer usage
- additional checks to ensure each function doesn't leave its boundaries
- make the macros simpler and more flexible
- support for analyzing ALTERNATIVE macros
- simplified the arch interfaces in scripts/asmvalidate/arch.h
- fixed some asmvalidate warnings
- rebased onto latest tip asm cleanups
- many more small changes

v4:
- Changed the default to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=n, until all the asm
code can get cleaned up.
- Fixed a stackvalidate error path exit code issue found by Michal
Marek.

v3:
- Added a patch to make the push/pop CFI macros arch-independent, as
suggested by H. Peter Anvin

v2:
- Fixed memory leaks reported by Petr Mladek
