Don't try instrumenting functions in arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.c.
Otherwise that can cause issues if the cleanup pass of stackleak gcc plugin
is disabled.

I can pick this one up via arm64, thanks. Are there any other plugins we
should be wary of? It looks like x86 filters out $(GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS)
when building the vDSO.

Maybe at some point we should replace exclusions based on
GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS and KASAN_SANITIZE and UBSAN_SANITIZE and
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD and so on with something more generic...
something that says "this file will not be built into the normal
kernel, it contains code that runs in realmode / userspace / some
similarly weird context, and none of our instrumentation
infrastructure is available there"...

I can't tell exactly. I'm sure Kees has the whole picture.

Yes, that's why building x86 vDSO doesn't need $(DISABLE_STACKLEAK_PLUGIN).

Good idea. I would also add 'notrace' to that list.

Hm? notrace code should definitely still be subject to sanitizer
instrumentation.

I mean ftrace is sometimes disabled for functions that are executed in those
weird contexts. As well as kcov instrumentation.

It would be nice if that generic mechanism could help with choosing which kernel
code instrumentation technologies should be disabled in the given context.

I didn't realize/remember that arm64 retained the kernel build flags for
vDSO builds. (I'm used to x86 throwing all its flags away for its vDSO.)

How does 32-bit ARM do its vDSO?

My quick run-through on plugins:

arm_ssp_per_task_plugin.c
	32-bit ARM only (but likely needs disabling for 32-bit ARM vDSO?)

cyc_complexity_plugin.c
	compile-time reporting only

latent_entropy_plugin.c
	this shouldn't get triggered for the vDSO (no __latent_entropy
	nor __init attributes in vDSO), but perhaps explicitly disabling
	it would be a sensible thing to do, just for robustness?

randomize_layout_plugin.c
	this shouldn't get triggered (again, lacking attributes), but
	should likely be disabled too.

sancov_plugin.c
	This should be tracking the KCOV directly (see
	scripts/Makefile.kcov), which is already disabled here.

structleak_plugin.c
	This should be fine in the vDSO, but there's not security
	boundary here, so it wouldn't be important to KEEP it enabled.

On arm64, the 32-bit toolchain is picked up via CC_COMPAT -- does that still
get the plugins?

Thanks for going through these. In general though, it seems like an
opt-in strategy would make more sense, as it doesn't make an awful lot
of sense to me for the plugins to be used to build the vDSO.

So I would prefer that this patch filters out $(GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS).

Ok, I will do that in the v2 of the patch series.

I tested: on 32-bit arm vDSO is built with plugin flags. I will filter them out
in a separate patch in v2 of the series.

> On arm64, the 32-bit toolchain is picked up via CC_COMPAT -- does that still

I tested it with this command:
  make  ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabi-
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- V=1

I see that COMPAT_VDSO is built without plugin flags. So it's ok.

Alexander
