I was fixing KASAN support for my sv48 patchset so I took a look at your
issue: I built a kernel on top of the branch riscv/fixes using
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/269d24e857a757d09a898086a2fa6fa5d827c3e1/dashboard/config/linux/upstream-riscv64-kasan.config
and Buildroot 2020.11. I have the warnings regarding the use of
__virt_to_phys on wrong addresses (but that's normal since this function
is used in virt_addr_valid) but not the segfaults you describe.

Hi Alex,

Let me try to rebuild buildroot image. Maybe there was something wrong
with my build, though, I did 'make clean' before doing. But at the
same time it worked back in June...

Re WARNINGs, they indicate kernel bugs. I am working on setting up a
syzbot instance on riscv. If there a WARNING during boot then the
kernel will be marked as broken. No further testing will happen.
Is it a mis-use of WARN_ON? If so, could anybody please remove it or
replace it with pr_err.


Hi,

I've localized one issue with riscv/KASAN:
KASAN breaks VDSO and that's I think the root cause of weird faults I
saw earlier. The following patch fixes it.
Could somebody please upstream this fix? I don't know how to add/run
tests for this.
Thanks

What's weird is that I don't have any issue without this patch with the
following config whereas it indeed seems required for KASAN. But when
looking at the segfaults you got earlier, the segfault address is 0xbb0
and the cause is an instruction page fault: this address is the PLT base
address in vdso.so and an instruction page fault would mean that someone
tried to jump at this address, which is weird. At first sight, that does
not seem related to your patch above, but clearly I may be wrong.

Tobias, did you observe the same segfaults as Dmitry ?


I noticed that not all buildroot images use VDSO, it seems to be
dependent on libc settings (at least I think I changed it in the
past).

Ok, I used uClibc but then when using glibc, I have the same segfaults,
only when KASAN is enabled. And your patch fixes the problem. I will try
to take a look later to better understand the problem.

I also booted an image completely successfully including dhcpd/sshd
start, but then my executable crashed in clock_gettime. The executable
was build on linux/amd64 host with "riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc -static"
(10.2.1).


Second issue I am seeing seems to be related to text segment size.
I check out v5.11 and use this config:
https://gist.github.com/dvyukov/6af25474d455437577a84213b0cc9178

This config gave my laptop a hard time ! Finally I was able to boot
correctly to userspace, but I realized I used my sv48 branch...Either I
fixed your issue along the way or I can't reproduce it, I'll give it a
try tomorrow.

Where is your branch? I could also test in my setup on your branch.


You can find my branch int/alex/riscv_kernel_end_of_address_space_v2
here: https://github.com/AlexGhiti/riscv-linux.git

No, it does not work for me.

It still works for me but I had to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF (I
don't think that changes anything at runtime). But your above command
line does not work for me as it appears you do not load any firmware, if
I add -bios images/fw_jump.elf, it works. But then I don't know where
your opensbi output below comes from...

And regarding your issue with calling clock_gettime 'directly' compared
to using the syscall, I have the same consistent output from both calls.

I have an older gcc (9.3.0) and the same qemu. I think what is missing
here is your buildroot config, so that we have the exact same
environment: could you post your buildroot config as well ?

I don't think the image is relevant because I don't even get to kernel
code. If the kernel will complain about no init later, that's fine.
Re bios, this version of qemu already has OpenSBI bios builtin, you
can pass -bios default, but that's, well, the default :)
Here are more reproducible repro instructions that capture gcc and
qemu. I think gcc version may be potentially relevant as I suspect
code size.

Indeed the issue was code size, please find the fix below. I will send a
proper patch once I made sure the fix is the right one, but I'm pretty
confident, there's no reason to limit the mapping size to 128MB whereas
we have a whole pgdir.

Great you get to the bottom of this!
Riscv kernels are going to be YUGE!

IIRC I tried that a while ago and it didn't work. It's possible I was just
running into some other bug, but I'm just build testing allyesconfig as opposed
to boot testing it.

If you've got a setup that does boot I'm happy to take a patch, though. It'll
at least be one step forward.



OK, it's getting better.

Nice :)

The next issue is called "512 bytes should be enough for everyone!" :)
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12-rc2/source/include/uapi/asm-generic/setup.h#L5
Most other arches redefine it to something bigger:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12-rc2/source/arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/setup.h#L10
even arm32 redefines it.
I am not sure the default is even reasonable anymore.

Some archs override this value to 256, but git blame shows this is (very) old. I agree that 512 as default seems low.

Failure mode is
also not nice (silent truncation).

Agreed, maybe we could still have the default value and checks the terminating null character is somewhere and bugs if not, I'll take a look.

We are trying to pass this:

earlyprintk=serial oops=panic nmi_watchdog=panic panic=86400
net.ifnames=0 sysctl.kernel.hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace=1
ima_policy=tcb kvm-intel.nested=1 nf-conntrack-ftp.ports=20000
nf-conntrack-tftp.ports=20000 nf-conntrack-sip.ports=20000
nf-conntrack-irc.ports=20000 nf-conntrack-sane.ports=20000
vivid.n_devs=16 vivid.multiplanar=1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2
netrom.nr_ndevs=16 rose.rose_ndevs=16 spec_store_bypass_disable=prctl
numa=fake=2 nopcid dummy_hcd.num=8 binder.debug_mask=0
rcupdate.rcu_expedited=1 watchdog_thresh=165
workqueue.watchdog_thresh=420 panic_on_warn=1

The last part gets truncated and we are getting false workqueue watchdog stalls.

Could you please increase it?

I will propose a patchset that increases the default value and cleans archs up accordingly too.

Thanks again,

Alex
