[PATCH v3] kernel: add kcov code coverage

From: Dmitry Vyukov
Date: Thu Jan 14 2016 - 09:22:48 EST

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.

kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims
to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall
inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in
soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently
non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled
(e.g. scheduler, locking).

Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing),
but the API anticipates additional collection modes.
Initially I also implemented a second mode which exposes
coverage in a fixed-size hash table of counters (what Quentin
used in his original patch). I've dropped the second mode for
simplicity.

This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.
The complimentary compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.

We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer,
which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting
a random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.

Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.
A typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an
invalid input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive
as reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are
always background threads and unrelated processes that also produce
coverage. With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not
possible.

kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which
is insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

Anticipating reasonable questions regarding usage of this feature.
Quentin Casasnovas and Vegard Nossum also plan to use kcov for
coverage-guided fuzzing. Currently they use a custom kernel patch
for their fuzzer and found several dozens of bugs.
There is also interest from Intel 0-DAY kernel test infrastructure.

Based on commit 67990608c8b95d2b8ccc29932376ae73d5818727.

v2: - added note to commit desciption that kcov is insecure,
but debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
- make CONFIG_KCOV depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KCOV
instead of conditional inclusion with if/endif
(as per Kees comments).

v3: - disabled instrumentation of lib/hweight.c
- changed task_struct.kcov_size type to unsigned
- moved kcov.c from kernel/kcov/ to kernel/
- fixed multi-line comment formatting
- changed BUG_ONs to WARN_ONs
- added kcov_get() helper

+kcov: code coverage for fuzzing
+===============================
+
+kcov exposes kernel code coverage information in a form suitable for coverage-
+guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage data of a running kernel is
+exported via the "kcov" debugfs file. Coverage collection is enabled on a task
+basis, and thus it can capture precise coverage of a single system call.
+
+Note that kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims
+to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
+To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts
+and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic parts of kernel is
+disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
+
+Usage:
+======
+
+Configure kernel with:
+
+ CONFIG_KCOV=y
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
+
+CONFIG_KCOV requires gcc built on revision 231296 or later.
+Profiling data will only become accessible once debugfs has been mounted:
+
+ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+
+The following program demonstrates kcov usage from within a test program:
+
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <stddef.h>
+#include <stdint.h>
+#include <sys/types.h>
+#include <sys/stat.h>
+#include <sys/ioctl.h>
+#include <sys/mman.h>
+#include <fcntl.h>
+
+#define KCOV_INIT_TRACE _IOR('c', 1, unsigned long)
+#define KCOV_ENABLE _IO('c', 100)
+#define KCOV_DISABLE _IO('c', 101)
+#define COVER_SIZE (64<<10)
+
+int main(int argc, char **argv)
+{
+ int fd;
+ uint32_t *cover, n, i;
+
+ /* A single fd descriptor allows coverage collection on a single
+ * thread.
+ */
+ fd = open("/sys/kernel/debug/kcov", O_RDWR);
+ if (fd == -1)
+ perror("open");
+ /* Setup trace mode and trace size. */
+ if (ioctl(fd, KCOV_INIT_TRACE, COVER_SIZE))
+ perror("ioctl");
+ /* Mmap buffer shared between kernel- and user-space. */
+ cover = (uint32_t*)mmap(NULL, COVER_SIZE * sizeof(uint32_t),
+ PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
+ if ((void*)cover == MAP_FAILED)
+ perror("mmap");
+ /* Enable coverage collection on the current thread. */
+ if (ioctl(fd, KCOV_ENABLE, 0))
+ perror("ioctl");
+ /* Reset coverage from the tail of the ioctl() call. */
+ __atomic_store_n(&cover[0], 0, __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
+ /* That's the target syscal call. */
+ read(-1, NULL, 0);
+ /* Read number of PCs collected. */
+ n = __atomic_load_n(&cover[0], __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
+ /* PCs are shorten to uint32_t, so we need to restore the upper part. */
+ for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
+ printf("0xffffffff%0lx\n", (unsigned long)cover[i + 1]);
+ /* Disable coverage collection for the current thread. After this call
+ * coverage can be enabled for a different thread.
+ */
+ if (ioctl(fd, KCOV_DISABLE, 0))
+ perror("ioctl");
+ /* Free resources. */
+ if (munmap(cover, COVER_SIZE * sizeof(uint32_t)))
+ perror("munmap");
+ if (close(fd))
+ perror("close");
+ return 0;
+}
+
+After piping through addr2line output of the program looks as follows:
+
+SyS_read
+fs/read_write.c:562
+__fdget_pos
+fs/file.c:774
+__fget_light
+fs/file.c:746
+__fget_light
+fs/file.c:750
+__fget_light
+fs/file.c:760
+__fdget_pos
+fs/file.c:784
+SyS_read
+fs/read_write.c:562
+
+If a program needs to collect coverage from several threads (independently),
+it needs to open /sys/kernel/debug/kcov in each thread separately.
+
+The interface is fine-grained to allow efficient forking of test processes.
+That is, a parent process opens /sys/kernel/debug/kcov, enables trace mode,
+mmaps coverage buffer and then forks child processes in a loop. Child processes
+only need to enable coverage (disable happens automatically on thread end).

+ help
+ KCOV exposes kernel code coverage information in a form suitable
+ for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing).
+
+ RANDOMIZE_BASE is not supported. KCOV exposes PC values that are meant
+ to be stable on different machines and across reboots. RANDOMIZE_BASE
+ breaks this assumption. Potentially it can be supported by subtracting
+ _stext from [_stext, _send), but it is more tricky (and slow) for
+ modules.
