From 77360f9bbc7e5e2ab7a2c8b4c0244fbbfcfc6f62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2022 11:55:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add test for user space strings when filtering on string pointers

Pingfan reported that the following causes a fault:

echo "filename ~ "cpu"" > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_at/enable

The reason is that trace event filter treats the user space pointer defined by "filename" as a normal pointer to compare against the "cpu" string. The following bug happened:

The above happened because the kernel tried to access user space directly and triggered a "supervisor read access in kernel mode" fault. Worse yet, the memory could not even be loaded yet, and a SEGFAULT could happen as well. This could be true for kernel space accessing as well.

To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail.

Note, TASK_SIZE is used to determine if the pointer is user or kernel space and the appropriate strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() function is used to copy the memory. For some architectures, the compare to TASK_SIZE may always pick user space or kernel space. If it gets it wrong, the only thing is that the filter will fail to match. In the future, this needs to be fixed to have the event denote which should be used. But failing a filter is much better than panicing the machine, and that can be solved later.

+5.2.1 Filter limitations +------------------------ + +If a filter is placed on a string pointer ``(char *)`` that does not point +to a string on the ring buffer, but instead points to kernel or user space +memory, then, for safety reasons, at most 1024 bytes of the content is +copied onto a temporary buffer to do the compare.
