This series adds support for Abracon AB-RTCMC-32.768kHz-B5ZE-S3 I2C RTC chip. Unlike many RTC chips, it includes an internal oscillator which spares room on the PCB. It also has some interesting features, like battery low detection (which the driver in this series supports). The only small "limitation" (mainly due to what RTC subsystem expects from RTC chips) is the fact that its alarm is accurate to the second. This series provides a solution (described below) for that limitation using another mechanism of the chip. I decided to split support between three different patches for this v0: - Patch 1/3: it simply references Abracon Corporation in vendor-prefixes documentation file. As Abracon has no NASDAQ ticker symbol; I have decided to use "abcn" (I initially started my work w/ "ab" but later changed for "abcn" which looked more meaningful) - Patch 2/3: it adds initial support for the chip and provides the ability to read/write time and also read/write alarm. As the alarm the chip provides is accurate to the minute, the support provided by this patch also has this limitation (e.g. UIE mode is not supported). - Patch 3/3: the chip supports a watchdog timer which can be used to extend the alarm mechanism in patch 2/3 in order to provide support for alarms under one minute (e.g. support UIE mode). In practice, the logic I implemented is to use the watchdog timer for alarms which are at most 4 minutes in the future and use the common alarm mechanism for alarms which are set to larger values. With that additional patch the device fully passes the rtctest.c program. I decided to split the driver between two patches (2 and 3 of 3) in order to ease review: patch 2 should be pretty straightforward to read for someone familiar w/ RTC subsystem. Patch 3 only extends what is in patch 2 regarding alarms. This patch (of 3): Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt: add vendor prefix for Abracon Corporation Signed-off-by:

After we set the GET_TIME bit, the rtc time can't be read immediately. We should wait up to 31.25 us, about one cycle of 32khz. Otherwise reading RTC time will return a old time. If we clear the GET_TIME bit after setting, the time of i2c transfer is certainly more than 31.25us. Doug said: : I think we are safe. At 400kHz (the max speed of this part) each bit can : be transferred no faster than 2.5us. In order to do a valid i2c : transaction we need to _at least_ write the address of the device and the : data onto the bus, which is 16 bits. 16 * 2.5us = 40us.

Now that alarm support for ISL12057 chip is available w/ the specific "isil,irq2-can-wakeup-machine" property, let's use that feature of the driver dedicated to NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102, 104 and 2120 specific routing of RTC Alarm IRQ#2 pin; on those devices, this pin is not connected to the SoC but to a PMIC, which allows the device to be powered up when RTC alarm rings. For that to work, the chip needs to be explicitly marked as a device wakeup source using this "isil,irq2-can-wakeup-machine" boolean property. This makes 'wakealarm' sysfs entry available to configure the alarm. Signed-off-by:

Current in-tree users of ISL12057 RTC chip (NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102, 104 and 2120) do not have the IRQ#2 pin of the chip (associated w/ the Alarm1 mechanism) connected to their SoC, but to a PMIC (TPS65251 FWIW). This specific hardware configuration allows the NAS to wake up when the alarms rings. Recently introduced alarm support for ISL12057 relies on the provision of an "interrupts" property in system .dts file, which previous three users will never get. For that reason, alarm support on those devices is not function. To support this use case, this patch adds a new DT property for ISL12057 (isil,irq2-can-wakeup-machine) to indicate that the chip is capable of waking up the device using its IRQ#2 pin (even though it does not have its IRQ#2 pin connected directly to the SoC). This specific configuration was tested on a ReadyNAS 102 by setting an alarm, powering off the device and see it reboot as expected when the alarm rang w/: # echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 1 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm # shutdown -h now As a side note, the ISL12057 remains in the list of trivial devices, because the property is not per se required by the device to work but can help handle system w/ specific requirements. In exchange, the new feature is described in details in a specific documentation file. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds alarm support to Intersil ISL12057 driver. This allows to configure the chip to generate an interrupt when the alarm matches current time value. Alarm can be programmed up to one month in the future and is accurate to the second. The patch was developed to support two different configurations: systems w/ and w/o RTC chip IRQ line connected to the main CPU. The latter is the one found on current 3 kernel users of the chip for which support was initially developed (Netgear ReadyNAS 102, 104 and 2120 NAS). On those devices, the IRQ#2 pin of the chip is not connected to the SoC but to a PMIC. This allows setting an alarm, powering off the device and have it wake up when the alarm rings. To support that configuration the driver does the following: 1. it has alarm_irq_enable() function returns -ENOTTY when no IRQ is passed to the driver. 2. it marks the device as a wakeup source in all cases (whether an IRQ is passed to the driver or not) to have 'wakealarm' sysfs entry created. 3. it marks the device has not supporting UIE mode when no IRQ is passed to the driver (see the commmit message of c9f5c7e7) This specific configuration was tested on a ReadyNAS 102 by setting an alarm, powering off the device and see it reboot as expected when the alarm rang. The former configuration was tested on a Netgear ReadyNAS 102 after some soldering of the IRQ#2 pin of the RTC chip to a MPP line of the SoC (the one used usually handles the reset button). The test was performed using a modified .dts file reflecting this change (see below) and rtc-test.c program available in Documentation/rtc.txt. This test program ran as expected, which validates alarm supports, including interrupt support. As a side note, the ISL12057 remains in the list of trivial devices, i.e. no specific DT binding being added by this patch: i2c core automatically handles extraction of IRQ line info from .dts file. For instance, if one wants to reference the interrupt line for the alarm in its .dts file, adding interrupt and interrupt-parent properties works as expected: isl12057: isl12057@68 { compatible =3D "isil,isl12057"; interrupt-parent =3D <&gpio0>; interrupts =3D <6 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>; reg =3D <0x68>; }; FWIW, if someone is looking for a way to test alarm support on a system on which the chip IRQ line has the ability to boot the system (e.g. ReadyNAS 102, 104, etc): # echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm # echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 1 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm # shutdown -h now With the commands above, after a minute, the system comes back to life.

In original code, the probed instruction doesn't get optimized after echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled This is because original code checks kprobes_all_disarmed in optimize_kprobe(), but this flag is turned off after calling that function. Therefore, optimize_kprobe() will see kprobes_all_disarmed == true and doesn't do the optimization. This patch simply turns off kprobes_all_disarmed earlier to enable optimization. Signed-off-by:

This feature let us to detect accesses out of bounds of global variables. This will work as for globals in kernel image, so for globals in modules. Currently this won't work for symbols in user-specified sections (e.g. __init, __read_mostly, ...) The idea of this is simple. Compiler increases each global variable by redzone size and add constructors invoking __asan_register_globals() function. Information about global variable (address, size, size with redzone ...) passed to __asan_register_globals() so we could poison variable's redzone. This patch also forces module_alloc() to return 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address making shadow memory handling ( kasan_module_alloc()/kasan_module_free() ) more simple. Such alignment guarantees that each shadow page backing modules address space correspond to only one module_alloc() allocation. Signed-off-by:

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro used to create aliases to device tables. Normally alias should have the same type as aliased symbol. Device tables are arrays, so they have 'struct type##_device_id[x]' types. Alias created by MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() will have non-array type - 'struct type##_device_id'. This inconsistency confuses compiler, it could make a wrong assumption about variable's size which leads KASan to produce a false positive report about out of bounds access. For every global variable compiler calls __asan_register_globals() passing information about global variable (address, size, size with redzone, name ...) __asan_register_globals() poison symbols redzone to detect possible out of bounds accesses. When symbol has an alias __asan_register_globals() will be called as for symbol so for alias. Compiler determines size of variable by size of variable's type. Alias and symbol have the same address, so if alias have the wrong size part of memory that actually belongs to the symbol could be poisoned as redzone of alias symbol. By fixing type of alias symbol we will fix size of it, so __asan_register_globals() will not poison valid memory. Signed-off-by:

KASan uses constructors for initializing redzones for global variables. Globals instrumentation in GCC 4.9.2 produces constructors with priority (.init_array.00099) Currently kernel ignores such constructors. Only constructors with default priority supported (.init_array) This patch adds support for constructors with priorities. For kernel image we put pointers to constructors between __ctors_start/__ctors_end and do_ctors() will call them on start up. For modules we merge .init_array.* sections into resulting .init_array. Module code properly handles constructors in .init_array section. Signed-off-by:

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory for modules. So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address allocated in module_alloc(). __vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a guard hole after allocated area. Guard hole in shadow memory should be a problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory at address occupied by guard hole. So we could fail to allocate shadow for module_alloc(). Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into __vmalloc_node_range(). Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to __vmalloc_node_range() function. Signed-off-by:

Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC 5.0. To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan always uses interceptors for them. So now we should do this as well. This patch declares memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols. In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing it. Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__' prefix. For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants, cause we don't want to check memory accesses there. Signed-off-by:

We need to manually unpoison rounded up allocation size for dname to avoid kasan's reports in dentry_string_cmp(). When CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS=y dentry_string_cmp may access few bytes beyound requested in kmalloc() size. dentry_string_cmp() relates on that fact that dentry allocated using kmalloc and kmalloc internally round up allocation size. So this is not a bug, but this makes kasan to complain about such accesses. To avoid such reports we mark rounded up allocation size in shadow as accessible. Signed-off-by:

With this patch kasan will be able to catch bugs in memory allocated by slub. Initially all objects in newly allocated slab page, marked as redzone. Later, when allocation of slub object happens, requested by caller number of bytes marked as accessible, and the rest of the object (including slub's metadata) marked as redzone (inaccessible). We also mark object as accessible if ksize was called for this object. There is some places in kernel where ksize function is called to inquire size of really allocated area. Such callers could validly access whole allocated memory, so it should be marked as accessible. Code in slub.c and slab_common.c files could validly access to object's metadata, so instrumentation for this files are disabled. Signed-off-by:

It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible (object's metadata). Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because these accesses are valid. Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata into external functions like memchr_inv(). We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs. metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan reports.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer. 16TB of virtual addressed used for shadow memory. It's located in range [ffffec0000000000 - fffffc0000000000] between vmemmap and %esp fixup stacks. At early stage we map whole shadow region with zero page. Latter, after pages mapped to direct mapping address range we unmap zero pages from corresponding shadow (see kasan_map_shadow()) and allocate and map a real shadow memory reusing vmemmap_populate() function. Also replace __pa with __pa_nodebug before shadow initialized. __pa with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y make external function call (__phys_addr) __phys_addr is instrumented, so __asan_load could be called before shadow area initialized.

Currently memory hotplug won't work with KASan. As we don't have shadow for hotplugged memory, kernel will crash on the first access to it. To make this work we will need to allocate shadow for new memory. At some future point proper memory hotplug support will be implemented. Until then, print a warning at startup and disable memory hot-add. Signed-off-by:

Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector. It provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and out-of-bounds bugs. KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access, therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required. v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan instrumentation of globals. This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer. It's not available for use yet. The idea and some code was borrowed from [1]. Basic idea: The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to check the shadow memory on each memory access. Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a memory address to its corresponding shadow address. Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address: unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr) { return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET; } where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3. So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory. The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7) means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are inaccessible. Different negative values used to distinguish between different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see mm/kasan/kasan.h). To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler. Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr), __asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by checking corresponding shadow memory. If access is not valid an error printed. Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov: "We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan), ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing, running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000 scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and lots of others): [2] [3] [4]. The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers. We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer (it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs. Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5]. We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also people from Samsung and Oracle have found some. [...] As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we finish all tuning). I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads. Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are relatively easy to port." Comparison with other debugging features: ======================================== KMEMCHECK: - KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can. KASan uses compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than kmemcheck. The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of uninitialized memory reads. Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck: $ netperf -l 30 MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec no debug: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 41624.72 kasan inline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 12870.54 kasan outline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 10586.39 kmemcheck: 87380 16384 16384 30.03 20.23 - Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs. It always sets number of CPUs to 1. KASan doesn't have such limitation. DEBUG_PAGEALLOC: - KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page granularity level, so it able to find more bugs. SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones): - SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan. - SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads, KASan able to detect both reads and writes. - In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact place of first bad read/write.
