[BUG kernel-5.15] aarch64: __pi_strncmp() out-of-bound error

Mon Aug 7 05:31:45 PDT 2023

Hi ARM maintainers,

We met this issue under our internal test.
It seems that __pi_strncmp() reads out-of-bound.

We found that we hit this issue when we compare these two strings.

We observe the second string is put at the tail of the first page and
the next page is unreadable.
Thus, we made a simple test as below and it can reproduce this issue.

static noinline void strncmp_ut(void)
{
    int ret = 0;
    int size = 4096;
    char *src1 = vmalloc(size);
    char *src2 = vmalloc(size);
    char *str1 = "/devices/virtual/block/";
    char *str2 = "/devices/virtual/misc";
    int len1 = strlen(str1);
    int len2 = strlen(str2);
    char *str1_start, *str2_start;

    pr_info("src1: %px\n", src1);
    pr_info("src2: %px\n", src2);
    pr_info("len1 :%d, len2: %d\n", len1, len2);

    memset(src1, 0, size);
    strncpy(&src1[size-len1-1], str1, len1);
    memset(src2, 0, size);
    strncpy(&src2[size-len2-1], str2, len2);

    str1_start = src1 + size - len1 - 1;
    pr_info("str1_start: %px", str1_start);
    str2_start = src2 + size - len2 - 1;
    pr_info("str2_start: %px", str2_start);
    ret = strncmp(str1_start, str2_start, len1);
    pr_info("ret: %d\n", ret);
}

Does any issue exist in __pi_strncmp in kernel-5.15?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks,
John Hsu
