Commit Message

Adhemerval Zanella Netto Dec. 21, 2018, 6:38 p.m. UTC 
As discussed previously on libc-alpha [1], this patch follows up the idea
and add both the __attribute_alloc_size__ on malloc functions (malloc,
calloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc, pvalloc, memaling, and
posix_memalign) and limit maximum requested allocation size to up
PTRDIFF_MAX (minus internal padding and alignment when required).

This aligns glibc with gcc expected size defined by default warning
-Walloc-size-larger-than value which warns for allocation larger than
PTRDIFF_MAX.  It also aligns with gcc expectation regarding libc and
expected size, such as described in PR#67999 [2] and previously discussed
ISO C11 issues [3] on libc-alpha.

From the RFC thread [4] and previous discussion, it seems that consensus
now is only to limit such requested size for malloc functions, not system
allocation one (mmap, sbrk, etc.).  This patch follows this idea.

The implementation removes checked_request2size and move the requested
size before hook calls (this avoid code duplication in the hook and make
allocations returned by hooks safe even if they do not check for requested
size).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

	[BZ #23741]
	* malloc/hooks.c (malloc_check, realloc_check, memalign_check): Remove
	overflow check.
	* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_malloc, __libc_realloc, _mid_memalign,
	__libc_pvalloc, __libc_calloc, _int_memalign): Limit maximum
	allocation size to PTRDIFF_MAX.
	(_int_malloc): Remove overflow check.
	(padize): New define.
	(request2size): Define based on padsize.
	* malloc/malloc.h (malloc, calloc, realloc, reallocarray, memalign,
	valloc, pvalloc): Add __attribute_alloc_size__.
	* stdlib/stdlib.h (malloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc,
	posix_memalign): Likewise.
	* malloc/tst-malloc-too-large.c (do_test): Add check for allocation

	* malloc/tst-memalign.c (do_test): Disable -Walloc-size-larger-than=

I think this needs a NEWS entry (in the "Deprecated and removed features,

people currently doing > 2GB allocations in 32-bit programs.

What about:

  * Memory allocation functions malloc, calloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc,
    pvalloc, memaling, and posix_memalignfail now fail with requests larger
    than PTRDIFF_MAX.  This is to avoid potential undefined behavior with
    pointer subtraction within the allocated object, where results might
    in ptrdiff_t type overflow.


As a side note, gcc 9 now seems to add -Wattributes in -Wall which results
in a "error: ‘alloc_size’ attribute ignored on a function returning ‘int’" 
on posix_memalign with __attribute_alloc_size__ ((3)). 

Does gcc provide an attribute to indicate first argument is the expected 
result, so it can match the attribute with argument type instead of
function returned one? Otherwise I think we will need to suppress it 
from posix_memalign.

"might overflow the ptrdiff_t type".

No, the alloc_size attribute is inapplicable to posix_memalign.

Updated patch below.  The changes are to add a NEWS entry and to remove
the alloc_size attribute from posix_memalign.

“fail now fail”.  “with requests larger than PTRDIFF_MAX” is
under-specified for calloc and reallocarray.  The intent probably is
that the total object size counts.

I have not reviewed the actual patch.

Why is the '- padsize' needed in these cases? All the relevant arithmetic is 
done using size_t, so overflow can't occur when PTRDIFF_MAX - padsize < bytes <= 
PTRDIFF_MAX, under the PTRDIFF_MAX <= SIZE_MAX / 2 assumption that the code is 
already making elsewhere.

This can be made a bit simpler by changing the type of this particular 'bytes' 
variable to ptrdiff_t and then by removing the "|| __glibc_unlikely (bytes > 
PTRDIFF_MAX - padsize)", since the "- padsize" isn't needed and the 
INT_MULTIPLY_WRAPV will check for exceeding PTRDIFF_MAX if 'bytes' is of type 
ptrdiff_t.

Such platforms are well outside the scope of glibc.  We can assume that 
PTRDIFF_MAX == SIZE_MAX / 2 (and that ptrdiff_t, size_t and pointers have 
the same power-of-2 width, which is at least 32).

Using verify.h in any glibc code not coming from gnulib would be odd; just 
use _Static_assert.

OK, then we needn't bother with the static assertion. Is there a good place to 
document assumptions like this one, in the glibc manual I suppose?

Although the point is now moot for this patch, I prefer the readability of 
'verify'. Compare this:

verify (PTRDIFF_MAX <= SIZE_MAX / 2);

to this:

_Static_assert (PTRDIFF_MAX <= SIZE_MAX / 2,
                 "PTRDIFF_MAX is not more than half of SIZE_MAX");

With just one static assertion it's no big deal, but Gnulib has files with 
dozens and the readability savings add up.

I added for consistency so all internal allocation, after alignment and padding 
adjustment, will be also limited by PTRDIFF_MAX.  Although the idea is not to 
limit mmap/sbrk to such requirement I think it also helps sysmalloc to be more
conforming regarding the ptrdiff_t requirements.  However I did not made an
extensible analysis, so I don't have a strong opinion here.

It's not a big deal, but as I see it the tradeoff here is:

* Limiting the size to (PTRDIFF_MAX - padsize) means that internal allocators 
are free to use ptrdiff_t in size calculation, e.g., when subtracting pointers. 
Currently I don't think they don't do that but maybe I'm wrong, or maybe they 
will do that someday, so it's safer to impose the stricter limit

* Merely limiting the size to PTRDIFF_MAX is easier to explain to users, and is 
a tiny bit faster because at the machine level it's faster to compare to 
0x7fff..ffff than it is to compare to 0x7fff...fff1 (or whatever) because you 
can just look at the sign bit.

I could see it going either way.

As Wilco has pointed out, internally sysmalloc will align up PTRDIFF_MAX - C
for C < pagesize() to PTRDIFF_MAX + 1. One option is to move the check size
on sysmalloc instead (before mmap/sbrk or morecore calls).
Florian Weimer Dec. 27, 2018, 7:39 p.m. UTC | #12 
I think this is more a kernel matter: The kernel should create a
PROT_NONE mapping spanning two pages in the middle of the address
space, for those architectures where this mapping can actually be
created (so not x86-64, for example).  This could be controlled by a
personality flag.  (It wouldn't have to be a PROT_NONE mapping, just
something that can only be overridden using MAP_FIXED.)

On the other hand, this is primarily a C/C++ language issue (and a GCC
problem), so maybe it's not appropriate to change kernel behavior
because userspace could execute code written in other languages and
compiled by other compilers.

I don't know of such a list of assumptions on the environment glibc 
supports.  I listed various other such requirements in 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-07/msg00761.html>.  (Of course, 
glibc code should still prefer to use logically appropriate interfaces to 
make the code clearer to the reader; for example, all glibc systems have 
size_t, ptrdiff_t, pointers and long the same width, but size_t, 
ptrdiff_t, intptr_t or uintptr_t should be used as appropriate instead of 
long if the intent is some kind of pointer-sized integer.)

In about three years' time we'll be able to require GCC 9 or later to 
build glibc and thus use single-argument _Static_assert (which C2x has 
added from C++ and which I've added support for to GCC 9).
