[PATCH v3 1/2][next] clk: socfpga: Fix undefined behavior bug in struct stratix10_clock_data

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Mon Oct 23 2023 - 23:31:07 EST


`struct clk_hw_onecell_data` is a flexible structure, which means that
it contains flexible-array member at the bottom, in this case array
`hws`:

include/linux/clk-provider.h:
1380 struct clk_hw_onecell_data {
1381 unsigned int num;
1382 struct clk_hw *hws[] __counted_by(num);
1383 };

This could potentially lead to an overwrite of the objects following
`clk_data` in `struct stratix10_clock_data`, in this case
`void __iomem *base;` at run-time:

drivers/clk/socfpga/stratix10-clk.h:
9 struct stratix10_clock_data {
10 struct clk_hw_onecell_data clk_data;
11 void __iomem *base;
12 };

There are currently three different places where memory is allocated for
`struct stratix10_clock_data`, including the flex-array `hws` in
`struct clk_hw_onecell_data`:

drivers/clk/socfpga/clk-agilex.c:
469 clk_data = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(clk_data, clk_data.hws,
470 num_clks), GFP_KERNEL);

drivers/clk/socfpga/clk-agilex.c:
509 clk_data = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(clk_data, clk_data.hws,
510 num_clks), GFP_KERNEL);

drivers/clk/socfpga/clk-s10.c:
400 clk_data = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(clk_data, clk_data.hws,
401 num_clks), GFP_KERNEL);

I'll use just one of them to describe the issue. See below.

Notice that a total of 440 bytes are allocated for flexible-array member
`hws` at line 469:

include/dt-bindings/clock/agilex-clock.h:
70 #define AGILEX_NUM_CLKS 55

drivers/clk/socfpga/clk-agilex.c:
459 struct stratix10_clock_data *clk_data;
460 void __iomem *base;
...
466
467 num_clks = AGILEX_NUM_CLKS;
468
469 clk_data = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(clk_data, clk_data.hws,
470 num_clks), GFP_KERNEL);

`struct_size(clk_data, clk_data.hws, num_clks)` above translates to
sizeof(struct stratix10_clock_data) + sizeof(struct clk_hw *) * 55 ==
16 + 8 * 55 == 16 + 440

allocated bytes for flex-array `hws`

474 for (i = 0; i < num_clks; i++)
475 clk_data->clk_data.hws[i] = ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);
476
477 clk_data->base = base;

and then some data is written into both `hws` and `base` objects.

Fix this by placing the declaration of object `clk_data` at the end of
`struct stratix10_clock_data`. Also, add a comment to make it clear
that this object must always be last in the structure.

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.
