The Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
KernelAddressSANitizer (KASAN) is a dynamic memory error detector designed to
|
|
find out-of-bound and use-after-free bugs. KASAN has two modes: generic KASAN
|
|
(similar to userspace ASan) and software tag-based KASAN (similar to userspace
|
|
HWASan).
|
|
|
|
KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation to insert validity checks before every
|
|
memory access, and therefore requires a compiler version that supports that.
|
|
|
|
Generic KASAN is supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires version
|
|
4.9.2 or later for basic support and version 5.0 or later for detection of
|
|
out-of-bounds accesses for stack and global variables and for inline
|
|
instrumentation mode (see the Usage section). With Clang it requires version
|
|
7.0.0 or later and it doesn't support detection of out-of-bounds accesses for
|
|
global variables yet.
|
|
|
|
Tag-based KASAN is only supported in Clang and requires version 7.0.0 or later.
|
|
|
|
Currently generic KASAN is supported for the x86_64, arm64, xtensa and s390
|
|
architectures, and tag-based KASAN is supported only for arm64.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
To enable KASAN configure kernel with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_KASAN = y
|
|
|
|
and choose between CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC (to enable generic KASAN) and
|
|
CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS (to enable software tag-based KASAN).
|
|
|
|
You also need to choose between CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE.
|
|
Outline and inline are compiler instrumentation types. The former produces
|
|
smaller binary while the latter is 1.1 - 2 times faster.
|
|
|
|
Both KASAN modes work with both SLUB and SLAB memory allocators.
|
|
For better bug detection and nicer reporting, enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
|
|
|
|
To disable instrumentation for specific files or directories, add a line
|
|
similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile:
|
|
|
|
- For a single file (e.g. main.o)::
|
|
|
|
KASAN_SANITIZE_main.o := n
|
|
|
|
- For all files in one directory::
|
|
|
|
KASAN_SANITIZE := n
|
|
|
|

The header of the report provides a short summary of what kind of bug happened
|
|
and what kind of access caused it. It's followed by a stack trace of the bad
|
|
access, a stack trace of where the accessed memory was allocated (in case bad
|
|
access happens on a slab object), and a stack trace of where the object was
|
|
freed (in case of a use-after-free bug report). Next comes a description of
|
|
the accessed slab object and information about the accessed memory page.
|
|
|
|
In the last section the report shows memory state around the accessed address.
|
|
Reading this part requires some understanding of how KASAN works.
|
|
|
|
The state of each 8 aligned bytes of memory is encoded in one shadow byte.
|
|
Those 8 bytes can be accessible, partially accessible, freed or be a redzone.
|
|
We use the following encoding for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
|
|
of the corresponding memory region are accessible; number N (1 <= N <= 7) means
|
|
that the first N bytes are accessible, and other (8 - N) bytes are not;
|
|
any negative value indicates that the entire 8-byte word is inaccessible.
|
|
We use different negative values to distinguish between different kinds of
|
|
inaccessible memory like redzones or freed memory (see mm/kasan/kasan.h).
|
|
|
|
In the report above the arrows point to the shadow byte 03, which means that
|
|
the accessed address is partially accessible.
|
|
|
|
For tag-based KASAN this last report section shows the memory tags around the
|
|
accessed address (see Implementation details section).

Implementation details
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Generic KASAN
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
From a high level, our approach to memory error detection is similar to that
|
|
of kmemcheck: use shadow memory to record whether each byte of memory is safe
|
|
to access, and use compile-time instrumentation to insert checks of shadow
|
|
memory on each memory access.
|
|
|
|
Generic KASAN dedicates 1/8th of kernel memory to its shadow memory (e.g. 16TB
|
|
to cover 128TB on x86_64) and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to
|
|
translate a memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
|
|
|
|
Here is the function which translates an address to its corresponding shadow
|
|
address::
|
|
|
|
static inline void *kasan_mem_to_shadow(const void *addr)
|
|
{
|
|
return ((unsigned long)addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT)
|
|
+ KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
where ``KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3``.
|
|
|
|
Compile-time instrumentation is used to insert memory access checks. Compiler
|
|
inserts function calls (__asan_load*(addr), __asan_store*(addr)) before each
|
|
memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. These functions check whether memory
|
|
access is valid or not by checking corresponding shadow memory.
|
|
|
|
GCC 5.0 has possibility to perform inline instrumentation. Instead of making
|
|
function calls GCC directly inserts the code to check the shadow memory.
|
|
This option significantly enlarges kernel but it gives x1.1-x2 performance
|
|
boost over outline instrumented kernel.
|
|
|
|
Software tag-based KASAN
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Tag-based KASAN uses the Top Byte Ignore (TBI) feature of modern arm64 CPUs to
|
|
store a pointer tag in the top byte of kernel pointers. Like generic KASAN it
|
|
uses shadow memory to store memory tags associated with each 16-byte memory
|
|
cell (therefore it dedicates 1/16th of the kernel memory for shadow memory).
|
|
|
|
On each memory allocation tag-based KASAN generates a random tag, tags the
|
|
allocated memory with this tag, and embeds this tag into the returned pointer.
|
|
Software tag-based KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation to insert checks
|
|
before each memory access. These checks make sure that tag of the memory that
|
|
is being accessed is equal to tag of the pointer that is used to access this
|
|
memory. In case of a tag mismatch tag-based KASAN prints a bug report.
|
|
|
|
Software tag-based KASAN also has two instrumentation modes (outline, that
|
|
emits callbacks to check memory accesses; and inline, that performs the shadow
|
|
memory checks inline). With outline instrumentation mode, a bug report is
|
|
simply printed from the function that performs the access check. With inline
|
|
instrumentation a brk instruction is emitted by the compiler, and a dedicated
|
|
brk handler is used to print bug reports.
|
|
|
|
A potential expansion of this mode is a hardware tag-based mode, which would
|
|
use hardware memory tagging support instead of compiler instrumentation and
|
|
manual shadow memory manipulation.
