[PATCH v1 0/2] bug fix in ethdev trace

[Ankur Dwivedi]

The first patch in this series adds fix for bug and coverity.
The second patch makes change to pass structure pointer instead of the
structure value, to avoid 64 bytes copy in function call stack for
rte_eth_trace_xstats_get_names.

Ankur Dwivedi (2):
  ethdev: fix null pointer dereference
  ethdev: pass structure pointer

[PATCH v1 1/2] ethdev: fix null pointer dereference

[Ankur Dwivedi]

The speed_fec_capa pointer can be null. So dereferencing the pointer is
removed and only the pointer is captured in trace function.
Fixed few more trace functions in which null pointer can be dereferenced.

Coverity issue: 383238
Bugzilla ID: 1162
Fixes: 6679cf21d608 ("ethdev: add trace points")
Fixes: ed04fd4072e9 ("ethdev: add trace points for flow")

Hi Ankur,

There is another bug report: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1167


As far as I can see that is caused by '__rte_trace_point_register()' is
calling 'register_fn()' [1].

At registering trace point stage, most of the pointers can be invalid,
and this can crash other locations too.

Why 'register_fn()' called withing the trace point register? Can we
remove it?





[1]
#define RTE_TRACE_POINT_REGISTER(trace, name)
	RTE_INIT(trace##_init)
		__rte_trace_point_register(..., (void (*)(void)) trace);

__rte_trace_point_register(handle, name, void (*register_fn)(void)) {
	...
	register_fn();
	...
}

I remember hitting this issue when running with UBsan.

IIRC, this is used to evaluate the size of the trace point event.

Yes, as checked with Jerin, it is used to evaluate size and some sanity
checks fro size.

We need either find a way to calculate size without really reading the
pointer content during register phase, all convert all pointer tracing
to emit_ptr().

I prefer first option if we can.

Looking at the root of the issue.

rte_trace_point_emit_* has two variant
a)trace point version - Which will emit the trace
b)trace register version - Which will find the size of trace
automatically with single definition of trace point to make life easy
for defining the trace point

In this case, conf value is junk, as we are referencing the value at
registration time.  Looks like in PPC arch, the stack content comes as
junk at this point and got this issue.
And other arch or other environment that adders is OK and since we're
just _reading_ the value. It is not making any issue. But it is a bug.

RTE_TRACE_POINT was designed to just use
rte_trace_point_emit_u16(conf->my_value) so that in registration scope
"conf->my_value" will be omitted by compiler.
But there as issue in using bitfiled[1] as trace is not supporting
bitfield.  Ankur added a local variable to work around the bitfiled
tracing.

So couple of options, I can think of

1)Remove the bitfiled trace point( There are only some trace point
uses that, Just we need to remove bitfield items from that)
2)It is possible to have anonymous union of type like u16, u32 for
tracing the the bitfields[2], but that would need change in public
structure
3) Another option is to have a #define to define the scope of
registration. Something like [3] which is noisy.

I think, we can just do 1 now for rc2 and (2) or (3) or some other
ideas we can think in next release.

+1 to go for option 1, specially at this phase of the release.

Only limited number of traces are affected by this bitfield related
issue anyway.


btw, this is for the Bug 1167,
I thought 1167 & 1162 share same root cause but they don't,
so 1162 is still open.

In below changes, pointers can be NULL at runtime, so agree on to the
change, with minor comments please see below.


But I don't think this is a fix for Bug 1162, which is an ASan reported
error, can you please drop that tag unless it is verified.

I think 'rte_flow_trace_create()' is missed, rest looks OK.

Can you please double check 'rte_flow_trace_create()' too?

This change is different than others, this is removing bitfield related
local variable assignment.

According to bug 1167 that is causing a crash. So we need a separate
patch to either remove or fix bitfield related issues, for now I am OK
to remove (as done above).

But can you please make another patch for bitfield issue and move above
change to that patch?

Thanks,

The asan error reported in 1162 was because of capturing rte_trace_point_emit_string(parent->bus_info); in
rte_eth_trace_find_next_of. I could not find the exact reason for the asan error with parent->bus_info. 

But I think parent pointer can be NULL in rte_eth_find_next_of, so I removed the pointer reference. This resolved the asan error in 1162 as a side effect.

-	rte_trace_point_emit_string(parent->name);
-	rte_trace_point_emit_string(parent->bus_info);
-	rte_trace_point_emit_int(parent->numa_node);
+	rte_trace_point_emit_ptr(parent);

I will check if I can add an if condition to check if a pointer is NULL inside the trace function. If that works I will update this patch.

Yeah, I also looked at it but not able to identify why it is complaining.

Is it confirmed that patch fixing asan issue, I have not seen it in the
bugzilla comments. If it is confirmed, OK to keep Bugzilla ID tag.

And aside from the asan issue, OK to have this patch, because of reason
you described.

Can you please check 'rte_eth_trace_read_clock()' too,
it has:
RTE_TRACE_POINT_ARGS(..., const uint64_t *clk, ...)
uint64_t clk_v = *clk;

Hi Ankur,

It seems bug 1162 is verified with this patch, can you please send a v2
so we can close the defect.

[PATCH v1 2/2] ethdev: pass structure pointer

[Ankur Dwivedi]

The rte_eth_xstat_name structure is of size 64 bytes. Instead of passing
the structure as value it is passed as a pointer, to avoid copy of 64 bytes
in function call stack.

[PATCH v2 0/2] bug fix in ethdev trace

[Ankur Dwivedi]

The first patch in this series adds fix for bug and coverity.
The second patch makes change to pass structure pointer instead of the
structure value, to avoid 64 bytes copy in function call stack for
rte_eth_trace_xstats_get_names.

v2:
- Removed null pointer reference in rte_eth_trace_read_clock and
  rte_flow_trace_create.
- Added Ack by Ferruh in patch (2/2). 

Ankur Dwivedi (2):
  ethdev: fix null pointer dereference
  ethdev: pass structure pointer

[PATCH v2 1/2] ethdev: fix null pointer dereference

[Ankur Dwivedi]

The speed_fec_capa pointer can be null. So dereferencing the pointer is
removed and only the pointer is captured in trace function.
Fixed few more trace functions in which null pointer can be dereferenced.
As a result of this fix the address sanitizer error observed with
rte_eth_trace_find_next_of() is also resolved.

Coverity issue: 383238
Bugzilla ID: 1162
Fixes: 6679cf21d608 ("ethdev: add trace points")
Fixes: ed04fd4072e9 ("ethdev: add trace points for flow")

[PATCH v2 2/2] ethdev: pass structure pointer

[Ankur Dwivedi]

The rte_eth_xstat_name structure is of size 64 bytes. Instead of passing
the structure as value it is passed as a pointer, to avoid copy of 64 bytes
in function call stack.
