userspace. The old fetch(9) and store(9) APIs (fubyte(), fuword(),
subyte(), suword(), etc.) are retired and replaced with new ufetch(9)
and ustore(9) APIs that can return proper error codes, etc. and are
implemented consistently across all platforms. The interrupt-safe
variants are no longer supported (and several of the existing attempts
at fuswintr(), etc. were buggy and not actually interrupt-safe).
Also augmement the ucas(9) API, making it consistently available on
all plaforms, supporting uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems, even
those that do not have CAS or LL/SC primitives.
Welcome to NetBSD 8.99.37.
Add a top-level check for the KCOV device, instead of deferring it ot each
thread. The thread-based solution was flaky.
PR kern/54064 by Andreas Gustafsson
Add new tests verifying dup2(2) scenarios:
- kcov_dup2
- kcov_basic_dup2_pc
- kcov_basic_dup2_cmp
The dup2(2) trick is used by syzkaller and assert that it works.
All new tests pass.
While there add minor non-functional cleanup changes.
Allow to specify mode in KCOV_IOC_ENABLE synchronizing the functionality
with Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. As a NetBSD (and OpenBSD) specific of
the ioctl(2) interface, the mode argument has to be specified as &value
rather than value.
There are 3 modes available:
1. KCOV_MODE_NONE -- no trace specified, useful for testing purposes
2. KCOV_MODE_TRACE_PC -- trace the kernel program counter
3. KCOV_MODE_TRACE_CMP -- trace comparison instructions and switch statements
Adapt the ATF tests and documentation for new API.
The KCOV_MODE_TRACE_CMP mode is implemented but still awaits for the
GCC 8.x upgrade or selection of Clang/LLVM as the kernel compiler.
Obtained from OpenBSD and adapted for NetBSD by myself.
Reuse the fd_clone() API to associate kcov descriptors (KD) with a file
descriptor. Each fd (/dev/kcov) can be reused for a single LWP.
Add new ATF regression tests and cleanup existing code there. All tests
pass.
Refresh the kcov(4) man page documentation.
Developed with help from <maxv>.
New macros prefer 64-bit atomic operations whenever accessible.
As a fallback they use volatile move operations that are not known
to have negative effect in KCOV even if interrupted in the middle of
operation.
Enable kcov_basic and kcov_thread tests on targets without
__HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS.
Restrict the 64-bit atomics to ports defining __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS.
Using 64-bit atomics is still good for i586 fuzzing, but the tests are
build for earlier CPUs. This makes this code to be disabled in i386 builds.
There is a similar situation with few other ports that offer 64-bit atomics
in certain CPU models and ABIs.
The KCOV driver implements collection of code coverage inside the kernel.
It can be enabled on a per process basis from userland, allowing the kernel
program counter to be collected during syscalls triggered by the same
process.
The device is oriented towards kernel fuzzers, in particular syzkaller.
Currently the only supported coverage type is -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc.
The KCOV driver was initially developed in Linux. A driver based on the
same concept was then implemented in FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Documentation is borrowed from OpenBSD and ATF tests from FreeBSD.
This patch has been prepared by Siddharth Muralee, improved by <maxv>
and polished by myself before importing into the mainline tree.
All ATF tests pass.
as Xen domUs. Thus, refactor the code to detect non-modular kernels; when the
other operations (MODCTL_LOAD or MODCTL_UNLOAD) fail specifically with ENOSYS,
this is taken as a hint about non-modularity and the test is skipped.
- The use.fs property is gone.
- Mark the tests/fs/t_create:attrs test as broken when using the default
unprivileged-user:_atf setting. This probably deserves a fix somehow
but I'm not sure at this point.
