本文介绍了错误的内存访问:为什么我的内核*不*崩溃的处理方法，对大家解决问题具有一定的参考价值，需要的朋友们下面随着小编来一起学习吧！
问题描述
我想向某人展示不正确的内存访问示例(内核空间试图访问导致错误的用户空间内存).
因此，我将一个旧教程用作POC，重要的部分是:
static ssize_t dev_write(struct file *filep, const char *buffer, size_t len, loff_t *offset){
sprintf(message, "%s(%zu letters)", buffer, len); // appending received string with its length
// [...]
}
这会在我的一项环境测试中导致崩溃，这是预期的行为(我在不使用cpoy_*_user函数的情况下访问了一个 userspace 变量的缓冲区，因此触发了内存保护机制，我的进程被杀死了.
但是在另一台机器上，这个代码片段实际上运行良好，这对我来说真的很奇怪.两台机器都使用5.3内核，内核配置非常相似.
不会崩溃的VM是否已损坏?我的代码实际上是UB吗?我想念什么吗?
检入gdb后，我实际上正在访问gdb中没有映射的缓冲区变量...:

编辑:为确保未映射内存，我根据@Tsyvarev的回答尝试通过以下用户空间测试来映射它.奇怪的是，即使在这种情况下，我的程序也不会崩溃...
#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main() {
struct stat s;
int in = open("aaa", O_RDONLY | O_RSYNC);
fstat (in, &s);
int size = s.st_size;
char* ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, in, 0);
int out = open("/dev/ebbchar",O_WRONLY);
printf("Written = %d", write(out, ptr, size));
close(in);
close(out);
return 0;
}

解决方案
从内核代码到用户空间内存的直接访问很糟糕，因为两种可能的情况:
-
访问的内存可能不属于该进程，因为用户空间代码将错误的指针传递给系统调用(错误或有意). /p>
-
访问的内存可能属于该进程，但当前未映射.
在两种情况下都会触发页面错误，并且由于该错误是由 kernel 代码引起的，因此系统将该错误视为 kernel错误.
通过copy_to_user/copy_from_user正确访问用户空间内存-可以优雅地处理这些情况 :
-
如果内存不属于用户空间进程，则
copy_*_user函数将返回错误指示符. -
如果内存属于用户空间进程，则
copy_*_user函数可确保其在访问期间被映射.
因此，为了说明为什么直接访问用户空间内存不好的原因，您可以触发以上情形:
-
将无效的指针(例如NULL)传递给
write系统调用，并观察内核崩溃而不是返回错误代码. -
将指向当前未映射内存的正确指针传递给
write系统调用，并观察内核崩溃，而不是正确访问内存.可以通过打开一些(其他)文件并
mmap-对其内容进行访问来获得未映射的指针:对于大多数文件系统，mmap最初会返回未映射的内存.澄清:成功的
mmap()调用返回指向属于用户进程的内存的指针.但是，此时 可以不可映射.第一次访问内存(从用户空间代码开始)将触发页面错误，并且在此期间内存将被映射.
I wanted to show to somebody an exemple of incorrect memory access (kernelspace trying to access userspace memory leading to a bug).
Thus, I took an old tutorial as a POC, the important part is :
static ssize_t dev_write(struct file *filep, const char *buffer, size_t len, loff_t *offset){
sprintf(message, "%s(%zu letters)", buffer, len); // appending received string with its length
// [...]
}
This causes a crash in one of my environment tests, which is the expected behavior (I access the buffer which is an userspace variable without using cpoy_*_user functions thus the memory protection mechanism is trigerred and my process is killed.
But in another machine, this snippet actually works fine which seems really odd to me. Both machines uses a 5.3 kernel with a quite similar kernel configuration.
Is the VM that does not crash broken ? Is my code actually an UB? Am I missing something?
After checking in gdb, i'm really accessing a buffer-variable within gdb which is not mmapped...:

Continuing.
(finishes without crashing)
EDIT: To be sure that the memory is unmapped, I tried to mmap it with the following userspace test according to @Tsyvarev's answer. Oddly, my program doesn't crash even in this case...
#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main() {
struct stat s;
int in = open("aaa", O_RDONLY | O_RSYNC);
fstat (in, &s);
int size = s.st_size;
char* ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, in, 0);
int out = open("/dev/ebbchar",O_WRONLY);
printf("Written = %d", write(out, ptr, size));
close(in);
close(out);
return 0;
}

解决方案
Direct access from the kernel's code to the user space memory is bad because of two possible scenarios:
Accessed memory could be not belonging to the process, because a user space code passes wrong pointer to the system call (by error or intentionally).
Accessed memory could belong to the process, but currently being not mapped.
In both cases page fault will be triggered, and, because the fault is caused by the kernel code, the system treats this fault as a kernel error.
Correct access to the user space memory - via copy_to_user/copy_from_user - handles these these scenarios gracefully:
If the memory doesn't belong to the user space process, a
copy_*_userfunction returns an error indicator.If the memory belongs to the user space process, a
copy_*_userfunction makes sure it is mapped during the access.
So, for demonstrate why direct access to user space memory is bad, you may trigger above scenarios:
Pass invalid pointer (e.g. NULL) to the
writesystem call and observe that the kernel crashes instead of returning an error code.Pass correct pointer to currently non-mapped memory to the
writesystem call and observe that the kernel crashes instead of correctly accessing the memory.Non-mapped pointer could be obtained by opening some (other) file and
mmap-ing its content: For most filesystemsmmapreturns initially non-mapped memory.Clarification: successful
mmap()call returns pointer to the memory belonging to the user process. But this memory could be non-mapped at this time. The first access to the memory (from user space code) will trigger a page fault, and during it the memory becomes mapped.
