scripts: add leaking_addresses.pl Currently we are leaking addresses from the kernel to user space. This script is an attempt to find some of those leakages. Script parses `dmesg` output and /proc and /sys files for hex strings that look like kernel addresses. Only works for 64 bit kernels, the reason being that kernel addresses on 64 bit kernels have 'ffff' as the leading bit pattern making greping possible. On 32 kernels we don't have this luxury. Scripts is _slightly_ smarter than a straight grep, we check for false positives (all 0's or all 1's, and vsyscall start/finish addresses). [ I think there is a lot of room for improvement here, but it's already useful, so I'm merging it as-is. The whole "hash %p format" series is expected to go into 4.15, but will not fix %x users, and will not incentivize people to look at what they are leaking. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

leaking_addresses: add 32-bit support Currently script only supports x86_64 and ppc64. It would be nice to be able to scan 32-bit machines also. We can add support for 32-bit architectures by modifying how we check for false positives, taking advantage of the page offset used by the kernel, and using the correct regular expression. Support for 32-bit machines is enabled by the observation that the kernel addresses on 32-bit machines are larger [in value] than the page offset. We can use this to filter false positives when scanning the kernel for leaking addresses. Programmatic determination of the running architecture is not immediately obvious (current 32-bit machines return various strings from `uname -m`). We therefore provide a flag to enable scanning of 32-bit kernels. Also we can check the kernel config file for the offset and if not found default to 0xc0000000. A command line option to parse in the page offset is also provided. We do automatically detect architecture if running on ix86. Add support for 32-bit kernels.

leaking_addresses: skip all /proc/PID except /proc/1 When the system is idle it is likely that most files under /proc/PID will be identical for various processes. Scanning _all_ the PIDs under /proc is unnecessary and implies that we are thoroughly scanning /proc. This is _not_ the case because there may be ways userspace can trigger creation of /proc files that leak addresses but were not present during a scan. For these two reasons we should exclude all PID directories under /proc except '1/' Exclude all /proc/PID except /proc/1. Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding <me@tobin.cc>

leaking_addresses: add summary reporting options Currently script just dumps all results found. Potentially, this risks losing single results among multiple duplicate results. We need some way of restricting duplicates to assist users of the script. It would also be nice if we got a report instead of raw results. Duplicates can be defined in various ways, instead of trying to find a single perfect solution we can present the user with various options to display the output. Doing so will typically lead to users wanting to view the output multiple times. Currently we scan the kernel each time, this is slow and unnecessary. We can expedite the process by writing the results to file for subsequent viewing. Add command line options to enable summary reporting, including options to write to and read from file.

leaking_addresses: add 32-bit support Currently script only supports x86_64 and ppc64. It would be nice to be able to scan 32-bit machines also. We can add support for 32-bit architectures by modifying how we check for false positives, taking advantage of the page offset used by the kernel, and using the correct regular expression. Support for 32-bit machines is enabled by the observation that the kernel addresses on 32-bit machines are larger [in value] than the page offset. We can use this to filter false positives when scanning the kernel for leaking addresses. Programmatic determination of the running architecture is not immediately obvious (current 32-bit machines return various strings from `uname -m`). We therefore provide a flag to enable scanning of 32-bit kernels. Also we can check the kernel config file for the offset and if not found default to 0xc0000000. A command line option to parse in the page offset is also provided. We do automatically detect architecture if running on ix86. Add support for 32-bit kernels.

leaking_addresses: add 32-bit support Currently script only supports x86_64 and ppc64. It would be nice to be able to scan 32-bit machines also. We can add support for 32-bit architectures by modifying how we check for false positives, taking advantage of the page offset used by the kernel, and using the correct regular expression. Support for 32-bit machines is enabled by the observation that the kernel addresses on 32-bit machines are larger [in value] than the page offset. We can use this to filter false positives when scanning the kernel for leaking addresses. Programmatic determination of the running architecture is not immediately obvious (current 32-bit machines return various strings from `uname -m`). We therefore provide a flag to enable scanning of 32-bit kernels. Also we can check the kernel config file for the offset and if not found default to 0xc0000000.

leaking_addresses: simplify path skipping Currently script has multiple configuration arrays. This is confusing, evident by the fact that a bunch of the entries are in the wrong place. We can simplify the code by just having a single array for absolute paths to skip and a single array for file names to skip wherever they appear in the scanned directory tree. There are also currently multiple subroutines to handle the different arrays, we can reduce these to a single subroutine also. Simplify the path skipping code. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

scripts: add leaking_addresses.pl Currently we are leaking addresses from the kernel to user space. This script is an attempt to find some of those leakages. Script parses `dmesg` output and /proc and /sys files for hex strings that look like kernel addresses. Only works for 64 bit kernels, the reason being that kernel addresses on 64 bit kernels have 'ffff' as the leading bit pattern making greping possible. On 32 kernels we don't have this luxury. Scripts is _slightly_ smarter than a straight grep, we check for false positives (all 0's or all 1's, and vsyscall start/finish addresses). [ I think there is a lot of room for improvement here, but it's already useful, so I'm merging it as-is. The whole "hash %p format" series is expected to go into 4.15, but will not fix %x users, and will not incentivize people to look at what they are leaking. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

leaking_addresses: add summary reporting options Currently script just dumps all results found. Potentially, this risks losing single results among multiple duplicate results. We need some way of restricting duplicates to assist users of the script. It would also be nice if we got a report instead of raw results. Duplicates can be defined in various ways, instead of trying to find a single perfect solution we can present the user with various options to display the output. Doing so will typically lead to users wanting to view the output multiple times. Currently we scan the kernel each time, this is slow and unnecessary. We can expedite the process by writing the results to file for subsequent viewing. Add command line options to enable summary reporting, including options to write to and read from file.
