This patch series enables remote KCOV coverage collection during
802.11 frames processing. These changes make it possible to perform
coverage-guided fuzzing in search of remotely triggerable bugs.

Normally, KCOV collects coverage information for the code that is
executed inside the system call context. It is easy to identify where
that coverage should go and whether it should be collected at all by
looking at the current process. If KCOV was enabled on that process,
coverage will be stored in a buffer specific to that process.
Howerever, it is not always enough as handling can happen elsewhere
(e.g. in separate kernel threads).

When it is impossible to infer KCOV-related info just by looking at
the currently running process, one needs to manually pass some
information to the code that should be instrumented. The information
takes the form of 64 bit integers (KCOV remote handles). Zero is the
special value that corresponds to an empty handle. More details on
KCOV and remote coverage collection can be found in
Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst.

The series consists of three commits.
1. Apply a minor fix to kcov_common_handle() so that it returns a
valid handle (zero) when called in an interrupt context.
2. Take the remote handle from KCOV and attach it to newly allocated
SKBs. If the allocation happens inside a system call context, the SKB
will be tied to the process that issued the syscall (if that process
is interested in remote coverage collection).
3. Annotate the code that processes incoming 802.11 frames with
kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop()

This patch series conflicts with another proposed patch
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/223901affc7bd759b2d6995c2dbfbdd0a29bc88a.1602248029.git.andreyknvl@google.com
One of these patches needs to be rebased once the other one is merged.

v2:
* Moved KCOV annotations from ieee80211_tasklet_handler to
  ieee80211_rx.
* Updated kcov_common_handle() to return 0 if it is called in
  interrupt context.
* Updated the cover letter.
 
v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201007101726.3149375-1-a.nogikh@gmail.com

Aleksandr Nogikh (3):
  kernel: make kcov_common_handle consider the current context
  net: store KCOV remote handle in sk_buff
  mac80211: add KCOV remote annotations to incoming frame processing

Hi Johannes,

I initially hesitated to do that, as it would multiply the number of
kcov callbacks. But perhaps you're right and a clean API look
outweighs the rest. I will do this in v3.

Thanks!

Btw, it occurred to me that I don't know at all - is this related to
syzkaller? Or is there some other fuzzing you're working on? Can we get
the bug reports from it if it's different? :)


Also, unrelated to that (but I see Dmitry CC'ed), I started wondering if
it'd be helpful to have an easier raw 802.11 inject path on top of say
hwsim0; I noticed some syzbot reports where it created raw sockets, but
that only gets you into the *data* plane of the wifi stack, not into the
*management* plane. Theoretically you could add a monitor interface, but
right now the wifi setup (according to the current docs on github) is
using two IBSS interfaces.

Perhaps an inject path on the mac80211-hwsim "hwsim0" interface would be
something to consider? Or simply adding a third radio that's in
"monitor" mode, so that a raw socket bound to *that* interface can
inject with a radiotap header followed by an 802.11 frame, getting to
arbitrary frame handling code, not just data frames.

Any thoughts?

Hi Johannes,

Thank you for sharing these ideas.

Currently we're injecting frames via mac80211_hwsim (by pretenting to
be wmediumd -
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/4a77ae0bdc5cd75ebe88ce7c896aae6bbf457a29/executor/common_linux.h#L4922).
Injecting via RAW sockets would definitely be a much cleaner way, but
to do that we need to keep a separate monitor interface. That's pretty
hard as the fuzzer is constantly trying to break things, and direct
injection via mac80211_hwsim seems to be a much more robust way - it
will work as long as the virtual device is alive. hwsim0 is
unfortunately not available as fuzzer processes are run in separate
network namespaces, while this one is created during mac80211_hwsim
initialization.

The current approach seems to work fine for management frames - I was
able to create seed programs that inject valid management frames and
these frames have the expected effect on the subsystem (e.g. injecting
AP responses during scan/authentication/authorization forces a station
to believe that it has successfully connected to an AP).

Ah, ok, of course that works too :-)

Oh, OK. I guess we _could_ move that also to the new namespace or
something, but if the wmediumd approach works then I think it's not
worth it.

Great!
