gcc-plugins: Add the randstruct plugin This randstruct plugin is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. The randstruct GCC plugin randomizes the layout of selected structures at compile time, as a probabilistic defense against attacks that need to know the layout of structures within the kernel. This is most useful for "in-house" kernel builds where neither the randomization seed nor other build artifacts are made available to an attacker. While less useful for distribution kernels (where the randomization seed must be exposed for third party kernel module builds), it still has some value there since now all kernel builds would need to be tracked by an attacker. In more performance sensitive scenarios, GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE can be selected to make a best effort to restrict randomization to cacheline-sized groups of elements, and will not randomize bitfields. This comes at the cost of reduced randomization. Two annotations are defined,__randomize_layout and __no_randomize_layout, which respectively tell the plugin to either randomize or not to randomize instances of the struct in question. Follow-on patches enable the auto-detection logic for selecting structures for randomization that contain only function pointers. It is disabled here to assist with bisection. Since any randomized structs must be initialized using designated initializers, __randomize_layout includes the __designated_init annotation even when the plugin is disabled so that all builds will require the needed initialization. (With the plugin enabled, annotations for automatically chosen structures are marked as well.) The main differences between this implemenation and grsecurity are: - disable automatic struct selection (to be enabled in follow-up patch) - add designated_init attribute at runtime and for manual marking - clarify debugging output to differentiate bad cast warnings - add whitelisting infrastructure - support gcc 7's DECL_ALIGN and DECL_MODE changes (Laura Abbott) - raise minimum required GCC version to 4.7 Earlier versions of this patch series were ported by Michael Leibowitz.

gcc-plugins: use KERNELVERSION for plugin version Commit 61f60bac8c05 ("gcc-plugins: Change all version strings match kernel") broke parallel builds. Instead of adding the dependency between GCC plugins and utsrelease.h, let's use KERNELVERSION, which does not require any build artifact. Another reason why I want to avoid utsrelease.h is because it depends on CONFIG_LOCALVERSION(_AUTO) and localversion* files. (include/generated/utsrelease.h depends on include/config/kernel.release, which is generated by scripts/setlocalversion) I want to keep host tools independent of the kernel configuration. There is no good reason to rebuild GCC plugins just because of CONFIG_LOCALVERSION being changed. We just want to associate the plugin versions with the kernel source version. KERNELVERSION should be enough for our purpose.

randstruct: gcc-plugin: Remove bogus void member [ Upstream commit e136a4062174a9a8d1c1447ca040ea81accfa6a8 ] When building the randomized replacement tree of struct members, the randstruct GCC plugin would insert, as the first member, a 0-sized void member. This appears as though it was done to catch non-designated ("unnamed") static initializers, which wouldn't be stable since they depend on the original struct layout order. This was accomplished by having the side-effect of the "void member" tripping an assert in GCC internals (count_type_elements) if the member list ever needed to be counted (e.g. for figuring out the order of members during a non-designated initialization), which would catch impossible type (void) in the struct: security/landlock/fs.c: In function ‘hook_file_ioctl_common’: security/landlock/fs.c:1745:61: internal compiler error: in count_type_elements, at expr.cc:7075 1745 | .u.op = &(struct lsm_ioctlop_audit) { | ^ static HOST_WIDE_INT count_type_elements (const_tree type, bool for_ctor_p) { switch (TREE_CODE (type)) ... case VOID_TYPE: default: gcc_unreachable (); } } However this is a redundant safety measure since randstruct uses the __designated_initializer attribute both internally and within the __randomized_layout attribute macro so that this would be enforced by the compiler directly even when randstruct was not enabled (via -Wdesignated-init). A recent change in Landlock ended up tripping the same member counting routine when using a full-struct copy initializer as part of an anonymous initializer. This, however, is a false positive as the initializer is copying between identical structs (and hence identical layouts). The "path" member is "struct path", a randomized struct, and is being copied to from another "struct path", the "f_path" member: landlock_log_denial(landlock_cred(file->f_cred), &(struct landlock_request) { .type = LANDLOCK_REQUEST_FS_ACCESS, .audit = { .type = LSM_AUDIT_DATA_IOCTL_OP, .u.op = &(struct lsm_ioctlop_audit) { .path = file->f_path, .cmd = cmd, }, }, ... As can be seen with the coming randstruct KUnit test, there appears to be no behavioral problems with this kind of initialization when the void member is removed from the randstruct GCC plugin, so remove it.

gcc-plugins: Add the randstruct plugin This randstruct plugin is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. The randstruct GCC plugin randomizes the layout of selected structures at compile time, as a probabilistic defense against attacks that need to know the layout of structures within the kernel. This is most useful for "in-house" kernel builds where neither the randomization seed nor other build artifacts are made available to an attacker. While less useful for distribution kernels (where the randomization seed must be exposed for third party kernel module builds), it still has some value there since now all kernel builds would need to be tracked by an attacker. In more performance sensitive scenarios, GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE can be selected to make a best effort to restrict randomization to cacheline-sized groups of elements, and will not randomize bitfields. This comes at the cost of reduced randomization. Two annotations are defined,__randomize_layout and __no_randomize_layout, which respectively tell the plugin to either randomize or not to randomize instances of the struct in question. Follow-on patches enable the auto-detection logic for selecting structures for randomization that contain only function pointers. It is disabled here to assist with bisection. Since any randomized structs must be initialized using designated initializers, __randomize_layout includes the __designated_init annotation even when the plugin is disabled so that all builds will require the needed initialization. (With the plugin enabled, annotations for automatically chosen structures are marked as well.) The main differences between this implemenation and grsecurity are: - disable automatic struct selection (to be enabled in follow-up patch) - add designated_init attribute at runtime and for manual marking - clarify debugging output to differentiate bad cast warnings - add whitelisting infrastructure - support gcc 7's DECL_ALIGN and DECL_MODE changes (Laura Abbott) - raise minimum required GCC version to 4.7 Earlier versions of this patch series were ported by Michael Leibowitz.

In more performance sensitive scenarios, GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE can be selected to make a best effort to restrict randomization to cacheline-sized groups of elements, and will not randomize bitfields. This comes at the cost of reduced randomization. Two annotations are defined,__randomize_layout and __no_randomize_layout, which respectively tell the plugin to either randomize or not to randomize instances of the struct in question. Follow-on patches enable the auto-detection logic for selecting structures for randomization that contain only function pointers. It is disabled here to assist with bisection. Since any randomized structs must be initialized using designated initializers, __randomize_layout includes the __designated_init annotation even when the plugin is disabled so that all builds will require the needed initialization. (With the plugin enabled, annotations for automatically chosen structures are marked as well.) The main differences between this implemenation and grsecurity are: - disable automatic struct selection (to be enabled in follow-up patch) - add designated_init attribute at runtime and for manual marking - clarify debugging output to differentiate bad cast warnings - add whitelisting infrastructure - support gcc 7's DECL_ALIGN and DECL_MODE changes (Laura Abbott) - raise minimum required GCC version to 4.7 Earlier versions of this patch series were ported by Michael Leibowitz.

gcc-plugins: randstruct: Remove cast exception handling With all randstruct exceptions removed, remove all the exception handling code. Any future warnings are likely to be shared between this plugin and Clang randstruct, and will need to be addressed in a more wholistic fashion.

gcc-plugins: Add the randstruct plugin This randstruct plugin is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. The randstruct GCC plugin randomizes the layout of selected structures at compile time, as a probabilistic defense against attacks that need to know the layout of structures within the kernel. This is most useful for "in-house" kernel builds where neither the randomization seed nor other build artifacts are made available to an attacker.
