config GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK
bool
help
While the kernel is built with warnings enabled for any missed
stack variable initializations, this warning is silenced for
anything passed by reference to another function, under the
occasionally misguided assumption that the function will do
the initialization. As this regularly leads to exploitable
flaws, this plugin is available to identify and zero-initialize
such variables, depending on the chosen level of coverage.
This plugin was originally ported from grsecurity/PaX. More

menu "Memory initialization"
security: allow using Clang's zero initialization for stack variables In addition to -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern (used by CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL now) Clang also supports zero initialization for locals enabled by -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero. The future of this flag is still being debated (see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45497). Right now it is guarded by another flag, -enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang, which means it may not be supported by future Clang releases. Another possible resolution is that -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero will persist (as certain users have already started depending on it), but the name of the guard flag will change. In the meantime, zero initialization has proven itself as a good production mitigation measure against uninitialized locals. Unlike pattern initialization, which has a higher chance of triggering existing bugs, zero initialization provides safe defaults for strings, pointers, indexes, and sizes. On the other hand, pattern initialization remains safer for return values. Chrome OS and Android are moving to using zero initialization for production builds. Performance-wise, the difference between pattern and zero initialization is usually negligible, although the generated code for zero initialization is more compact. This patch renames CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL to CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN and introduces another config option, CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO, that enables zero initialization for locals if the corresponding flags are supported by Clang.

config CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT_PATTERN
security: Implement Clang's stack initialization CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL turns on stack initialization based on -ftrivial-auto-var-init in Clang builds, which has greater coverage than CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL. -ftrivial-auto-var-init Clang option provides trivial initializers for uninitialized local variables, variable fields and padding. It has three possible values: pattern - uninitialized locals are filled with a fixed pattern (mostly 0xAA on 64-bit platforms, see https://reviews.llvm.org/D54604 for more details, but 0x000000AA for 32-bit pointers) likely to cause crashes when uninitialized value is used; zero (it's still debated whether this flag makes it to the official Clang release) - uninitialized locals are filled with zeroes; uninitialized (default) - uninitialized locals are left intact. This patch uses only the "pattern" mode when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL is enabled. Developers have the possibility to opt-out of this feature on a per-variable basis by using __attribute__((uninitialized)), but such use should be well justified in comments.

default INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN if COMPILE_TEST && CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT_PATTERN
hardening: Avoid harmless Clang option under CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO Currently under Clang, CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT_ZERO requires an extra -enable flag compared to CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT_PATTERN. GCC 12[1] will not, and will happily ignore the Clang-specific flag. However, its presence on the command-line is both cumbersome and confusing. Due to GCC's tolerant behavior, though, we can continue to use a single Kconfig cc-option test for the feature on both compilers, but then drop the Clang-specific option in the Makefile. In other words, this patch does not change anything other than making the compiler command line shorter once GCC supports -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero.

The frame size warnings are distracting, and risking a kernel stack overflow is generally not beneficial to performance, so it may be best to disallow that particular combination. This can be done by turning off either one. I picked the dependency in GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF and GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL, as this option is designed to make uninitialized stack usage less harmful when enabled on its own, but it also prevents KASAN from detecting those cases in which it was in fact needed. KASAN_STACK is currently implied by KASAN on gcc, but could be made a user selectable option if we want to allow combining (non-stack) KASAN with GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF. Note that it would be possible to specifically address the files that print the warning, but presumably the overall stack usage is still significantly higher than in other configurations, so this would not address the full problem. I could not test this with CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL, which may or may not suffer from a similar problem.

Right now it is guarded by another flag, -enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang, which means it may not be supported by future Clang releases. Another possible resolution is that -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero will persist (as certain users have already started depending on it), but the name of the guard flag will change. In the meantime, zero initialization has proven itself as a good production mitigation measure against uninitialized locals. Unlike pattern initialization, which has a higher chance of triggering existing bugs, zero initialization provides safe defaults for strings, pointers, indexes, and sizes. On the other hand, pattern initialization remains safer for return values. Chrome OS and Android are moving to using zero initialization for production builds. Performance-wise, the difference between pattern and zero initialization is usually negligible, although the generated code for zero initialization is more compact. This patch renames CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL to CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN and introduces another config option, CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO, that enables zero initialization for locals if the corresponding flags are supported by Clang.

Initializes everything on the stack (including padding)
with a zero value. This is intended to eliminate all
classes of uninitialized stack variable exploits and
information exposures, even variables that were warned
about having been left uninitialized.
Zero initialization provides safe defaults for strings
(immediately NUL-terminated), pointers (NULL), indices
(index 0), and sizes (0 length), so it is therefore more
suitable as a production security mitigation than pattern
initialization.

depends on GCC_PLUGINS
depends on HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK
help
This option makes the kernel erase the kernel stack before
returning from system calls. This has the effect of leaving
the stack initialized to the poison value, which both reduces
the lifetime of any sensitive stack contents and reduces
potential for uninitialized stack variable exploits or information
exposures (it does not cover functions reaching the same stack
depth as prior functions during the same syscall). This blocks
most uninitialized stack variable attacks, with the performance
impact being driven by the depth of the stack usage, rather than
the function calling complexity.
The performance impact on a single CPU system kernel compilation
sees a 1% slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary and you
are advised to test this feature on your expected workload before
deploying it.

mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations.

The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0: hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%) hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%) The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline is within the standard error. The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

This has the effect of setting "init_on_free=1" on the kernel
command line. This can be disabled with "init_on_free=0".
Similar to "init_on_alloc", when "init_on_free" is enabled,
all page allocator and slab allocator memory will be zeroed
when freed, eliminating many kinds of "uninitialized heap memory"
flaws, especially heap content exposures. The primary difference
with "init_on_free" is that data lifetime in memory is reduced,
as anything freed is wiped immediately, making live forensics or
cold boot memory attacks unable to recover freed memory contents.
The performance impact varies by workload, but is more expensive
than "init_on_alloc" due to the negative cache effects of
touching "cold" memory areas. Most cases see 3-5% impact. Some
synthetic workloads have measured as high as 8%.

At the end of functions, always zero any caller-used register
contents. This helps ensure that temporary values are not
leaked beyond the function boundary. This means that register
contents are less likely to be available for side channels
and information exposures. Additionally, this helps reduce the
number of useful ROP gadgets by about 20% (and removes compiler
generated "write-what-where" gadgets) in the resulting kernel
image. This has a less than 1% performance impact on most
workloads. Image size growth depends on architecture, and should
be evaluated for suitability. For example, x86_64 grows by less
than 1%, and arm64 grows by about 5%.

list: Introduce CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED Numerous production kernel configs (see [1, 2]) are choosing to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, which is also being recommended by KSPP for hardened configs [3]. The motivation behind this is that the option can be used as a security hardening feature (e.g. CVE-2019-2215 and CVE-2019-2025 are mitigated by the option [4]). The feature has never been designed with performance in mind, yet common list manipulation is happening across hot paths all over the kernel. Introduce CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED, which performs list pointer checking inline, and only upon list corruption calls the reporting slow path. To generate optimal machine code with CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED: 1. Elide checking for pointer values which upon dereference would result in an immediate access fault (i.e. minimal hardening checks). The trade-off is lower-quality error reports. 2. Use the __preserve_most function attribute (available with Clang, but not yet with GCC) to minimize the code footprint for calling the reporting slow path. As a result, function size of callers is reduced by avoiding saving registers before calling the rarely called reporting slow path. Note that all TUs in lib/Makefile already disable function tracing, including list_debug.c, and __preserve_most's implied notrace has no effect in this case. 3. Because the inline checks are a subset of the full set of checks in __list_*_valid_or_report(), always return false if the inline checks failed. This avoids redundant compare and conditional branch right after return from the slow path. As a side-effect of the checks being inline, if the compiler can prove some condition to always be true, it can completely elide some checks. Since DEBUG_LIST is functionally a superset of LIST_HARDENED, the Kconfig variables are changed to reflect that: DEBUG_LIST selects LIST_HARDENED, whereas LIST_HARDENED itself has no dependency on DEBUG_LIST. Running netperf with CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED (using a Clang compiler with "preserve_most") shows throughput improvements, in my case of ~7% on average (up to 20-30% on some test cases).

If you enable this, the layouts of structures that are entirely
function pointers (and have not been manually annotated with
__no_randomize_layout), or structures that have been explicitly
marked with __randomize_layout, will be randomized at compile-time.
This can introduce the requirement of an additional information
exposure vulnerability for exploits targeting these structure
types.
Enabling this feature will introduce some performance impact,
slightly increase memory usage, and prevent the use of forensic
tools like Volatility against the system (unless the kernel
source tree isn't cleaned after kernel installation).

One difference between the Clang and GCC plugin
implementations is the handling of bitfields. The GCC
plugin treats them as fully separate variables,
introducing sometimes significant padding. Clang tries
to keep adjacent bitfields together, but with their bit
ordering randomized.
randstruct: Reorganize Kconfigs and attribute macros In preparation for Clang supporting randstruct, reorganize the Kconfigs, move the attribute macros, and generalize the feature to be named CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT for on/off, CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL for the full randomization mode, and CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE for the cache-line sized mode.

help
Randomization of sensitive kernel structures will make a
best effort at restricting randomization to cacheline-sized
groups of members. It will further not randomize bitfields
in structures. This reduces the performance hit of RANDSTRUCT
at the cost of weakened randomization.

security: Create "kernel hardening" config area Right now kernel hardening options are scattered around various Kconfig files. This can be a central place to collect these kinds of options going forward. This is initially populated with the memory initialization options from the gcc-plugins.
