- We've already computed the number of fds * sizeof(pollfd), so use it
instead of needlessly doing it again.
- Use fds_copy.data() instead off address of indexing the vector.
The `default_signal_action(u8 signal)` function already has the
full mapping. The only caveat being that now we need to make
sure the thread constructor and clear_signals() method do the work
of resetting the m_signal_action_data array, instead or relying on
the previous logic in set_default_signal_dispositions.
This is a new promise that guards access to mmap() with MAP_FIXED.
Fixed-address mappings are rarely used, but can be useful if you are
trying to groom the process address space for malicious purposes.
None of our programs need this at the moment, as the only user of
MAP_FIXED is DynamicLoader, but the fixed mappings are constructed
before the process has had a chance to pledge anything.
We want to make sure these functions actually do get unmapped. If they
were inlined somewhere, the inlined version(s) would remain mapped.
Thanks to "thislooksfun" for the suggestion! :^)
There's no real system here, I just added it to various functions
that I don't believe we ever want to call after initialization
has finished.
With these changes, we're able to unmap 60 KiB of kernel text
after init. :^)
You can now declare functions with UNMAP_AFTER_INIT and they'll get
segregated into a separate kernel section that gets completely
unmapped at the end of initialization.
This can be used for anything we don't need to call once we've booted
into userspace.
There are two nice things about this mechanism:
- It allows us to free up entire pages of memory for other use.
(Note that this patch does not actually make use of the freed
pages yet, but in the future we totally could!)
- It allows us to get rid of obviously dangerous gadgets like
write-to-CR0 and write-to-CR4 which are very useful for an attacker
trying to disable SMAP/SMEP/etc.
I've also made sure to include a helpful panic message in case you
hit a kernel crash because of this protection. :^)
If we have a tracer process waiting for us to exec, we need to release
the ptrace lock before stopping ourselves, since otherwise the tracer
will block forever on the lock.
Fixes#5409.
This enabled trivial ASLR bypass for non-dumpable programs by simply
opening /proc/PID/vm before exec'ing.
We now hold the target process's ptrace lock across the refresh/write
operations, and deny access if the process is non-dumpable. The lock
is necessary to prevent a TOCTOU race on Process::is_dumpable() while
the target is exec'ing.
Fixes#5270.
sys$mmap() and related syscalls must pad to the nearest page boundary
below the base address *and* above the end address of the specified
range. Since we have to do this in many places, let's make a helper.
This bug is a good example why copy-paste code should eventually be eliminated
from the code base: Apparently the code was copied from read.cpp before
c6027ed7cc, so the same bug got introduced here.
To recap: A malicious program can ask the Kernel to prepare sys-ing to
a huge amount of iovecs. The Kernel must first copy all the vector locations
into 'vecs', and before that allocates an arbitrary amount of memory:
vecs.resize(iov_count);
This can cause Kernel memory exhaustion, triggered by any malicious userland
program.
This removes some hard references to the toolchain, some unnecessary
uses of an external install command, and disables a -Werror flag (for
the time being) - only if run inside serenity.
With this, we can build and link the kernel :^)
KASAN is a dynamic analysis tool that finds memory errors. It focuses
mostly on finding use-after-free and out-of-bound read/writes bugs.
KASAN works by allocating a "shadow memory" region which is used to store
whether each byte of memory is safe to access. The compiler then instruments
the kernel code and a check is inserted which validates the state of the
shadow memory region on every memory access (load or store).
To fully integrate KASAN into the SerenityOS kernel we need to:
a) Implement the KASAN interface to intercept the injected loads/stores.
void __asan_load*(address);
void __asan_store(address);
b) Setup KASAN region and determine the shadow memory offset + translation.
This might be challenging since Serenity is only 32bit at this time.
Ex: Linux implements kernel address -> shadow address translation like:
static inline void *kasan_mem_to_shadow(const void *addr)
{
return ((unsigned long)addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT)
+ KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
}
c) Integrating KASAN with Kernel allocators.
The kernel allocators need to be taught how to record allocation state
in the shadow memory region.
This commit only implements the initial steps of this long process:
- A new (default OFF) CMake build flag `ENABLE_KERNEL_ADDRESS_SANITIZER`
- Stubs out enough of the KASAN interface to allow the Kernel to link clean.
Currently the KASAN kernel crashes on boot (triple fault because of the crash
in strlen other sanitizer are seeing) but the goal here is to just get started,
and this should help others jump in and continue making progress on KASAN.

There is no reason to call a getter without observing the result, doing
so indicates an error in the code. Mark these methods as [[nodiscard]]
to find these cases.

`UserOrKernelBuffer` objects should always be observed when created, in
turn there is no reason to call a getter without observing the result.
Doing either of these indicates an error in the code. Mark these methods

In the majority of cases we want to force callers to observe the
result of a blocking operation as it's not grantee to succeed as
they expect. Mark BlockResult as [[nodiscard]] to force any callers
to observe the result of the blocking operation.
In preparation for marking BlockingResult [[nodiscard]], there are a few
places that perform infinite waits, which we never observe the result of
the wait. Instead of suppressing them, add an alternate function which
returns void when performing and infinite wait.
