So fbcon allocates some memory, security/tomoyo goes around and frees
it, fbcon goes boom because the memory is gone. I'm kinda leaning
towards "not an fbcon bug". Adding relevant security folks and mailing
lists.

But from a very quick look in tomoyo it loosk more like "machine on
fire, random corruption all over". No idea what's going on here.

Hi Daniel,

This is an out-of-bounds access, not use-after-free.
I don't know why we print the free stack at all (maybe +Andrey knows),
but that's what KASAN did from day one. I filed
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198425 which I think is a
good idea, I will add your confusion as a data point :)
Re this bug, free stack is irrelevant, I guess it's when the heap
block was freed before it was reallocated by console. So it's plain
out-of-bounds in fbcon_get_font, which looks sane and consistent to me
and reproducible on top.

Because we have that information (free stack) and it usually better to provide
all the information we have rather than hide it. You never known what information
might be needed to fix the bug.
Free memory might be reused and what we report as OOB might be an UAF and free stack
could be useful in such case.

Ah, and because the machine is a KVM guest, kvm_wait appears in a lot of
backtrace and I get to share syzkaller's joy every time. :)

This bisect result is bogus, though Tetsuo found the bug anyway.
Perhaps you can exclude commits that only touch architectures other than
x86?

There is "#syz uncc" command but it is too hard to utilize?

I don't see any mention of "kvm" in the crash report. And it's only 1
file, not all of them, in this case I would expect it to be
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c. So it should be something different.

We do this. It work sometimes. But sometimes it hits non-deterministic
kernel build bugs:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/1271#issuecomment-559093018
And in this case it hit some git bisect weirdness which I can't explain yet:

It would be nice if coverage functionality can extract filenames in the source
code and supply the list of filenames as arguments for bisect operation.

Also, (unrelated but) it would be nice if we can have "make yes2modconfig"
target which converts CONFIG_FOO=y to CONFIG_FOO=m if FOO is tristate.
syzbot is testing kernel configs close to "make allyesconfig" but I want to
save kernel rebuild time by disabling unrelated functionality when manually
"debug printk()ing" kernels.

It's there in the stack trace, not sure if this is what triggered my Cc:

[<ffffffff810c7c3a>] kvm_wait+0xca/0xe0 arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c:612

Oh, you mean the final bisection crash. Indeed it contains a kvm frame
and it turns out to be a bug in syzkaller code that indeed
misattributed it to kvm instead of netfilter.
Should be fixed now, you may read the commit message for details:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commit/4fb74474cf0af2126be3a8989d770c3947ae9478

Overall this "making sense out of kernel output" task is the ultimate
insanity, you may skim through this file to get a taste of amount of
hardcoding and special corner cases that need to be handled:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/pkg/report/linux.go
And this is never done, such "exception from exception corner case"
things pop up every week. There is always something to shuffle and
tune. It only keeps functioning due to 500+ test cases for all
possible insane kernel outputs:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/tree/master/pkg/report/testdata/linux/report
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/tree/master/pkg/report/testdata/linux/guilty

So thanks for persisting and questioning! We are getting better with
each new test.

Thanks to you! I "complain" because I know you're so responsive. :)

What is the criteria for file name extraction? What will bisect
operation do with the set of files?
