From: Arnd Bergmann <ar...@arndb.de>

Calling memcmp() and memchr() with an intentional buffer overflow
is now caught at compile time:

In function 'memcmp',
inlined from 'kasan_memcmp' at lib/test_kasan.c:897:2:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:263:25: error: call to '__read_overflow' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object (1st parameter)
263 | __read_overflow();
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In function 'memchr',
inlined from 'kasan_memchr' at lib/test_kasan.c:872:2:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:277:17: error: call to '__read_overflow' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object (1st parameter)
277 | __read_overflow();
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Change the kasan tests to wrap those inside of a noinline function
to prevent the compiler from noticing the bug and let kasan find
it at runtime.

GCC has separate macros for -fsanitize=kernel-address and
-fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress, and the check in the arm64 string.h
gets this wrong, which leads to string functions not getting
fortified with gcc. The newly added tests find this:

Add a workaround to include/linux/compiler_types.h so we always
define __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ for either mode, as we already do
for clang.

How about just explicitly making the size invisible to the compiler?

I did this for similar issues in the same source:

Is this with W=1 ? I had explicitly disabled the read overflows for
"phase 1" of the overflow restriction tightening...

(And what do you think of using OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() instead[1]?

I have a somewhat modified source tree that builds cleanly with W=1 after
disabling all the noisy ones, so this is probably one that I would not have
seen without it.

Yes, that is probably better. I can try updating the patch tomorrow,
unless you do it first.

What is the build config that trips these warnings?

In trying to understand this, I see in arch/arm64/include/asm/string.h:

#if (defined(CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC) || defined(CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS)) && \
!defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__)

other architectures (like arm32) do:

#if defined(CONFIG_KASAN) && !defined(__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__)

so it's okay because it's not getting touched by the hwaddress sanitizer?
e.g. I see:

config CC_HAS_KASAN_GENERIC
def_bool $(cc-option, -fsanitize=kernel-address)

config CC_HAS_KASAN_SW_TAGS
def_bool $(cc-option, -fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress)

Where is the clang work-around? (Or is this a statement that clang,
under -fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress, already sets __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ by
default?

It's a randconfig build, I've uploaded one .config to
https://pastebin.com/raw/4TKB9mhs,
but I have other ones if you can't reproduce with that one.

Yes, that is exactly the thing that goes wrong. With clang, __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
gets set here, but gcc sets __SANITIZE_HWADDRESS__ instead
for CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, so the condition is always true.

I mean this snippet:

#if __has_feature(address_sanitizer) || __has_feature(hwaddress_sanitizer)
/* Emulate GCC's __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ flag */
#define __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
#endif

Without that, clang sets neither __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ nor
__SANITIZE_HWADDRESS__

Yes, that might be clearer, but the effect is the same, as no other
compiler defines
those macros.

This is already fixed in your tree with:

"kasan: test: consolidate workarounds for unwanted __alloc_size() protection"

which was based on this original patch (and my comments).
