[committed] aarch64: Clear canary value after stack_protect_test [PR96191]

Richard Sandiford richard.sandiford@arm.com
Wed Aug 5 14:19:24 GMT 2020


The stack_protect_test patterns were leaving the canary value in the
temporary register, meaning that it was often still in registers on
return from the function.  An attacker might therefore have been
able to use it to defeat stack-smash protection for a later function.

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and aarch64_be-elf, committed.
I'll backport to branches over the next few days.  I'm about
to post a patch for arm too.

This is needed to make aarch64 conform to GCC's current -fstack-protector
implementation.  However, I think we should reconsider whether the
zeroing is actually necessary and what it's actually protecting against.
I'll send a separate message about that to gcc@.

gcc/
	PR target/96191
	* config/aarch64/aarch64.md (stack_protect_test_<mode>): Set the
	CC register directly, instead of a GPR.  Replace the original GPR
	destination with an extra scratch register.  Zero out operand 3
	after use.
	(stack_protect_test): Update accordingly.

gcc/testsuite/
	PR target/96191
	* gcc.target/aarch64/stack-protector-1.c: New test.
	* gcc.target/aarch64/stack-protector-2.c: Likewise.
