Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix ttysnoop.py with newer kernels
Jerome Marchand reported that ttysnoop.py won't work properly
with newer kernels (#4884). I did some investigation and found
that some kernel data structure change caused verification failure.
The failure is caused by the following:
; kvec = from->kvec;
// R1=ptr_iov_iter()
15: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r1 +16) ; R1_w=scalar()
; count = kvec->iov_len;
16: (bf) r2 = r1 ; R1_w=scalar(id=1) R2_w=scalar(id=1)
17: (07) r2 += 8 ; R2_w=scalar()
18: (05) goto pc+3
;
22: (79) r2 = *(u64 *)(r2 +0)
R2 invalid mem access 'scalar'
So basically, loading 'iov_iter + 16' returns a scalar but verifier
expects it to be a pointer.
In v6.4, we have
struct iovec
{
void __user *iov_base; /* BSD uses caddr_t (1003.1g requires void *) */
__kernel_size_t iov_len; /* Must be size_t (1003.1g) */
};
struct iov_iter {
u8 iter_type;
bool copy_mc;
bool nofault;
bool data_source;
bool user_backed;
union {
size_t iov_offset;
int last_offset;
};
union {
struct iovec __ubuf_iovec;
struct {
union {
const struct iovec *__iov;
const struct kvec *kvec;
const struct bio_vec *bvec;
struct xarray *xarray;
struct pipe_inode_info *pipe;
void __user *ubuf;
};
size_t count;
};
};
union {
unsigned long nr_segs;
struct {
unsigned int head;
unsigned int start_head;
};
loff_t xarray_start;
};
};
The kernel traversal chain will be
"struct iov_iter" -> "struct iovec __ubuf_iovec" -> "void __user *iov_base".
Since the "iov_base" type is a ptr to void, the kernel considers the
loaded value as a scalar which caused verification failure.
But for old kernel like 5.19, we do not have this issue.
struct iovec
{
void __user *iov_base; /* BSD uses caddr_t (1003.1g requires void *) */
__kernel_size_t iov_len; /* Must be size_t (1003.1g) */
};
struct iov_iter {
u8 iter_type;
bool nofault;
bool data_source;
bool user_backed;
size_t iov_offset;
size_t count;
union {
const struct iovec *iov;
const struct kvec *kvec;
const struct bio_vec *bvec;
struct xarray *xarray;
struct pipe_inode_info *pipe;
void __user *ubuf;
};
union {
unsigned long nr_segs;
struct {
unsigned int head;
unsigned int start_head;
};
loff_t xarray_start;
};
};
The kernel traversal chain will be
"struct iov_iter" -> "const struct iovec *iov"
Note that "const struct iovec *iov" is used since it is the *first* member
inside the union. The traversal stops once we hit a pointer.
So the kernel verifier returns a 'struct iovec' object (untrusted, cannot
be used as a parameter to a call) and verifier can proceed.
To fix the problem, let us use bpf_probe_read_kernel() instead
so ttysnoop.py can continue to work with newer kernel.
