[PATCH v2 0/2][next] wl3501_cs: Fix out-of-bounds warnings

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-31 22:44:46

Fix the a couple of  out-of-bounds warnings by making the code
a bit more structured.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds and
avoid confusing the compiler.

Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/109

Changes in v2:
 - Update changelog text in patch 1/2.
 - Replace a couple of magic numbers with new variable sig_addr_len.

[PATCH v2 1/2][next] wl3501_cs: Fix out-of-bounds warning in wl3501_send_pkt

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-31 22:45:17

Fix the following out-of-bounds warning by enclosing
structure members daddr and saddr into new struct addr:

arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:182:25: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' offset [18, 23] from the object at 'sig' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'daddr' with type 'u8[6]' {aka 'unsigned char[6]'} at offset 11 [-Warray-bounds]

Refactor the code, accordingly:

$ pahole -C wl3501_md_req drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.o
struct wl3501_md_req {
	u16                        next_blk;             /*     0     2 */
	u8                         sig_id;               /*     2     1 */
	u8                         routing;              /*     3     1 */
	u16                        data;                 /*     4     2 */
	u16                        size;                 /*     6     2 */
	u8                         pri;                  /*     8     1 */
	u8                         service_class;        /*     9     1 */
	struct {
		u8                 daddr[6];             /*    10     6 */
		u8                 saddr[6];             /*    16     6 */
	} addr;                                          /*    10    12 */

	/* size: 22, cachelines: 1, members: 8 */
	/* last cacheline: 22 bytes */
};

The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a
couple of arrays adjacent to each other in a single call to memcpy().
Now that a new struct _addr_ enclosing those two adjacent arrays
is introduced, memcpy() doesn't overrun the length of &sig.daddr[0],
because the address of the new struct object _addr_ is used as
destination, instead.

Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds and
avoid confusing the compiler.

[PATCH v2 2/2][next] wl3501_cs: Fix out-of-bounds warning in wl3501_mgmt_join

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavoars@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-31 22:46:21

Fix the following out-of-bounds warning by enclosing
some structure members into new struct req:

arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:182:25: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' offset [39, 108] from the object at 'sig' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'beacon_period' with type 'short unsigned int' at offset 36 [-Warray-bounds]

Refactor the code, accordingly:

$ pahole -C wl3501_join_req drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.o
struct wl3501_join_req {
	u16                        next_blk;             /*     0     2 */

	} req;                                           /*    36    72 */

	/* size: 108, cachelines: 2, members: 10 */
	/* last cacheline: 44 bytes */
};

The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a
bunch of struct members adjacent to each other in a single call to
memcpy(). Now that a new struct _req_ enclosing all those adjacent
members is introduced, memcpy() doesn't overrun the length of
&sig.beacon_period, because the address of the new struct object
_req_ is used as the destination, instead.

Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds and
avoid confusing the compiler.

Thanks, this makes the code much easier for the compiler to validate
at compile time. These cross-field memcpy()s are weird. I like the
solution here.

The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a
bunch of struct members adjacent to each other in a single call to
memcpy(). Now that a new struct _req_ enclosing all those adjacent
members is introduced, memcpy() doesn't overrun the length of
&sig.beacon_period, because the address of the new struct object
_req_ is used as the destination, instead.

Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds and
avoid confusing the compiler.

Refactor the code, accordingly:

This section is the same as a large portion of struct wl3501_scan_confirm:

struct wl3501_scan_confirm {

        char                        timestamp[8];
        char                        localtime[8];

from here
        u16                         beacon_period;
        u16                         dtim_period;

        u8                          bss_type;
        u8                          bssid[ETH_ALEN];
        struct iw_mgmt_essid_pset   ssid;
        struct iw_mgmt_ds_pset      ds_pset;

        struct iw_mgmt_ibss_pset    ibss_pset;
        struct iw_mgmt_data_rset    bss_basic_rset;
through here

        u8                          rssi;
};

It seems like maybe extracting that and using it in both structures
would make more sense?
If I do this, I would therefore have to make a bunch of other changes,
accordingly. I'm OK with that but I'd like to have the opinion of the
maintainers on all this. So, I will go and ping them from the cover
letter of this series with the hope that we can get some feedback from
them. :) They have been silent for a couple of weeks now.
