From c38904ebb74b455a44e3b9a679aef320361654ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Elver Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2024 12:34:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add task_prctl_unknown tracepoint prctl() is a complex syscall which multiplexes its functionality based on a large set of PR_* options. Currently we count 64 such options. The return value of unknown options is -EINVAL, and doesn't distinguish from known options that were passed invalid args that also return -EINVAL. To understand if programs are attempting to use prctl() options not yet available on the running kernel, provide the task_prctl_unknown tracepoint. Note, this tracepoint is in an unlikely cold path, and would therefore be suitable for continuous monitoring (e.g. via perf_event_open). While the above is likely the simplest usecase, additionally this tracepoint can help unlock some testing scenarios (where probing sys_enter or sys_exit causes undesirable performance overheads): a. unprivileged triggering of a test module: test modules may register a probe to be called back on task_prctl_unknown, and pick a very large unknown prctl() option upon which they perform a test function for an unprivileged user; b. unprivileged triggering of an eBPF program function: similar as idea (a). Example trace_pipe output: test-380 [001] ..... 78.142904: task_prctl_unknown: option=1234 arg2=101 arg3=102 arg4=103 arg5=104 Signed-off-by: Marco Elver Reviewed-by: Alexander Potapenko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241108113455.2924361-1-elver@google.com Signed-off-by: Kees Cook --- include/trace/events/task.h | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/sys.c | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 40 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/trace/events/task.h b/include/trace/events/task.h index 47b527464d1a..209d315852fb 100644 --- a/include/trace/events/task.h +++ b/include/trace/events/task.h @@ -56,6 +56,43 @@ TRACE_EVENT(task_rename, __entry->newcomm, __entry->oom_score_adj) ); +/** + * task_prctl_unknown - called on unknown prctl() option + * @option: option passed + * @arg2: arg2 passed + * @arg3: arg3 passed + * @arg4: arg4 passed + * @arg5: arg5 passed + * + * Called on an unknown prctl() option. + */ +TRACE_EVENT(task_prctl_unknown, + + TP_PROTO(int option, unsigned long arg2, unsigned long arg3, + unsigned long arg4, unsigned long arg5), + + TP_ARGS(option, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5), + + TP_STRUCT__entry( + __field( int, option) + __field( unsigned long, arg2) + __field( unsigned long, arg3) + __field( unsigned long, arg4) + __field( unsigned long, arg5) + ), + + TP_fast_assign( + __entry->option = option; + __entry->arg2 = arg2; + __entry->arg3 = arg3; + __entry->arg4 = arg4; + __entry->arg5 = arg5; + ), + + TP_printk("option=%d arg2=%ld arg3=%ld arg4=%ld arg5=%ld", + __entry->option, __entry->arg2, __entry->arg3, __entry->arg4, __entry->arg5) +); + #endif /* This part must be outside protection */ diff --git a/kernel/sys.c b/kernel/sys.c index c4c701c6f0b4..cb366ff8703a 100644 --- a/kernel/sys.c +++ b/kernel/sys.c @@ -75,6 +75,8 @@ #include #include +#include + #include "uid16.h" #ifndef SET_UNALIGN_CTL @@ -2810,6 +2812,7 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE5(prctl, int, option, unsigned long, arg2, unsigned long, arg3, error = arch_lock_shadow_stack_status(me, arg2); break; default: + trace_task_prctl_unknown(option, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5); error = -EINVAL; break; }
