+title = "Linux Kernel debugging with QEMU"
+date = 2019-10-27
+
+[taxonomies]
+tags = ["linux", "qemu"]
++++
+
+The other evening while starring at some Linux kernel code I thought, let me
+setup a minimal environment so I can easily step through the code and examine
+the state.
+
+I ended up creating:
+- a [Linux kernel][linux-kernel] with minimal configuration
+- a minimal [ramdisk][initrd] to boot into which is based on [busybox][busybox]
+
+In the remaing part of this article we will go through each step by first
+building the kernel, then building the initrd and then running the kernel using
+[QEMU][qemu] and debugging it with [GDB][gdb].
+
+## $> make kernel
+
+Before building the kernel we first need to generate a configuration. As a
+starting point we generate a minimal config with the `make tinyconfig` make
+target. Running this command will generate a `.config` file. After generating
+the initial config file we customize the kernel using the merge fragment flow.
+This allows us to merge a fragment file into the current configuration by
+running the `scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh` script.
+
+Let's quickly go over some customizations we do.
+The following two lines enable support for gzipped initramdisks:
+```config
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
+CONFIG_RD_GZIP=y
+```
+The next two configurations are important as they enable the binary loaders for
+[ELF][binfmt-elf] and [script #!][binfmt-script] files.
+```config
+CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y
+CONFIG_BINFMT_SCRIPT=y
+```
+
+> Note: In the cursed based configuration `make menuconfig` we can search for
+> configurations using the `/` key and then select a match using the number keys.
+> After selecting a match we can check the `Help` to get a description for the
+> configuration parameter.
+
+Building the kernel with the default make target will give us the following two
+files:
+- `vmlinux` statically linked kernel (ELF file) containing symbol information for debugging
+- `arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage` compressed kernel image for booting
+
+Full configure & build script:
+```sh
+{{ include(path="content/20191027-kernel-debugging-qemu/build_kernel.sh") }}
+```
+
+## $> make initrd
+
+Next step is to build the initrd which we base on [busybox][busybox]. Therefore
+we first build the busybox project in its default configuration with one
+change, we enable following configuration to build a static binary so it can be
+used stand-alone:
+```sh
+sed -i 's/# CONFIG_STATIC .*/CONFIG_STATIC=y/' .config
+```
+
+One important step before creating the final initrd is to create an init
+process. This will be the first process executed in userspace after the kernel
+finished its initialization. We just create a script that drops us into a
+shell:
+```sh
+cat <<EOF > init
+#!/bin/sh
+
+mount -t proc none /proc
+mount -t sysfs none /sys
+
+exec setsid cttyhack sh
+EOF
+```
+> By default the kernel looks for `/sbin/init` in the root file system, but the
+> location can optionally be specified with the [`init=`][kernel-param] kernel
+> parameter.
+
+Full busybox & initrd build script:
+```sh
+{{ include(path="content/20191027-kernel-debugging-qemu/build_initrd.sh") }}
+```
+
+## Running QEMU && GDB
+
+After finishing the previous steps we have all we need to run and debug the
+kernel. We have `arch/x86/boot/bzImage` and `initramfs.cpio.gz` to boot the
+kernel into a shell and we have `vmlinux` to feed the debugger with debug
+symbols.
+
+We start QEMU as follows, thanks to the `-S` flag the CPU will freeze until we
+connected the debugger:
+```sh
+# -S freeze CPU until debugger connected
+> qemu-system-x86_64 \
+ -kernel ./linux-5.3.7/arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
+ -nographic \
+ -append "earlyprintk=ttyS0 console=ttyS0 nokaslr init=/init debug" \
+ -initrd ./initramfs.cpio.gz \
+ -gdb tcp::1234 \
+ -S
+```
+
+Then we can start GDB and connect to the GDB server running in QEMU (configured
+via `-gdb tcp::1234`). From now on we can start to debug through the
+kernel.
+```sh
+> gdb linux-5.3.7/vmlinux -ex 'target remote :1234'
+(gdb) b do_execve
+Breakpoint 1 at 0xffffffff810a1a60: file fs/exec.c, line 1885.

+1885 return do_execveat_common(AT_FDCWD, filename, argv, envp, 0);
+(gdb) bt

+#4 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
+(gdb)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Appendix: Try to get around `<optimized out>`
+
+When debugging the kernel we often face following situation in gdb:
+```text
+(gdb) frame
+#0 do_execveat_common (fd=fd@entry=-100, filename=0xffff888000120000, argv=argv@entry=..., envp=envp@entry=..., flags=flags@entry=0) at fs/exec.c
+
+(gdb) info args
+fd = <optimized out>
+filename = 0xffff888000060000
+argv = <optimized out>
+envp = <optimized out>
+flags = <optimized out>
+file = 0x0
+```
+The problem is that the Linux kernel requires certain code to be compiled with
+optimizations enabled.
+
+In this situation we can "try" to reduce the optimization for single compilation
+units or a subtree (try because, reducing the optimization could break the
+build). To do so we adapt the Makefile in the corresponding directory.
+```make
+# fs/Makefile
+
+# configure for single compilation unit
+CFLAGS_exec.o := -Og
+
+# configure for the whole subtree of where the Makefile resides
+ccflags-y := -Og
+```
+
+After enabling optimize for debug experience `-Og` we can see the following now
+in gdb:
+```txt
+(gdb) frame
+#0 do_execveat_common (fd=fd@entry=-100, filename=0xffff888000120000, argv=argv@entry=..., envp=envp@entry=..., flags=flags@entry=0) at fs/exec.c
+
+(gdb) info args
+fd = -100
+filename = 0xffff888000120000
+argv = {ptr = {native = 0x10c5980}}
+envp = {ptr = {native = 0x10c5990}}
+flags = 0
+
+(gdb) p *filename
+$3 = {name = 0xffff888000120020 "/bin/ls", uptr = 0x10c59b8 "/bin/ls", refcnt = 1, aname = 0x0, iname = 0xffff888000120020 "/bin/ls"}
+
+(gdb) ptype filename
+type = struct filename {
+ const char *name;
+ const char *uptr;
+ int refcnt;
+ struct audit_names *aname;
+ const char iname[];
+}

+[taxonomies]
+tags = ["elf", "linux", "x86"]
++++
+
+As I was interested in how the bits behind dynamic linking work, this article
+is about exploring this topic.
+However, since dynamic linking strongly depends on the OS, the architecture and
+the binary format, I only focus on one combination here.
+Spending most of my time with Linux on `x86` or `ARM` I chose the following
+for this article:
+- OS: Linux
+- arch: x86_64
+- binfmt: [`Executable and Linking Format (ELF)`][elf-1.2]
+
+## Introduction to dynamic linking
+
+Dynamic linking is used in the case we have non-statically linked applications.
+This means an application uses code which is not included in the application
+itself, but in a shared library. The shared libraries in turn can be used by
+multiple applications.
+The applications contain `relocation` entries which need to be resolved during
+runtime, because shared libraries are compiled as `position independant code
+(PIC)` so that they can be loaded at any any address in the applications
+virtual address space.
+This process of resolving the relocation entries at runtime is what I am
+referring as dynamic linking in this article.
+
+The following figure shows a simple example, where we have an application
+**foo** using a function **bar** from the shared library **libbar.so**. The
+boxes show the virtual memory mapping for **foo** over time where time
+increases to the right.
+```
+ foo foo
+ +-----------+ +-----------+
+ | | | |
+ +-----------+ +-----------+
+ | .text.foo | | .text.foo |
+ | | | |
+ | ... | trigger resolve reloc | ... |
+pc->| call bar | X----+ | call bar |--+
+ | ... | | | ... | |
+ +-----------+ | +-----------+ |
+ | | | | | |
+ | | | | | |
+ +-----------+ | +-----------+ |
+ | .text.bar | | | .text.bar | |
+ | ... | | | ... | |
+ | bar: | +---->[ld.so]----> | bar: |<-+pc
+ | ... | | ... |
+ +-----------+ +-----------+
+ | | | |
+ +-----------+ +-----------+
+
+```
+
+## Conceptual overview && important parts of "the" ELF
+
+> In the following I assume a basic understanding of the ELF binary format.
+
+Before jumping into the details of dynamic linking it is important to get an
+conceptual overview, as well as to understand which sections of the ELF file
+actually matter.
+
+<br>
+
+On x86 calling a function in a shared library works via one indirect jump.
+When the application wants to call a function in a shared library it jumps to a
+well know location contained in the code of the application, called a
+`trampoline`. From there the application then jumps to a function pointer
+stored in a global table (`GOT = global offset table`). The application
+contains **one** trampoline per function used from a shared library.
+
+When the application jumps to a trampoline for the first time the trampoline
+will dispatch to the dynamic linker with the request to resolve the symbol.
+Once the dynamic linker found the address of the symbol it patches the function
+pointer in the `GOT` so that consecutive calls directly dispatch to the library
+function.
+```
+ foo: GOT
+ ... +------------+
++---- call bar_trampoline +- | 0xcafeface | [0] resolve (dynamic linker)
+| call bar_trampoline | +------------+
+| ... | | 0xcafeface | [1] resolve (dynamic linker)
+| | +------------+
++-> bar_trampoline: |
+ jump GOT[0] <-----------+
+ bar2_trampoline:
+ jump GOT[1]
+```
+Once this is done, further calls to this symbol will be directly forwarded to
+the correct address from the corresponding trampoline.
+```
+ foo: GOT
+ ... +------------+
+ call bar_trampoline +- | 0x01234567 | [0] bar (libbar.so)
++---- call bar_trampoline | +------------+
+| .... | | 0xcafeface | [1] resolve (dynamic linker)
+| | +------------+
++-> bar_trampoline: |
+ jump GOT[0] <-----------+
+ bar2_trampoline:
+ jump GOT[1]
+```
+
+---
+
+With that in mind we can take a look and check which sections of the ELF file
+are important for the dynamic linking process.
+- `.plt`
+> This section contains all the trampolines for the external functions used by
+> the ELF file
+- `.got.plt`
+> This section contains the global offset table `GOT` for this ELF files trampolines.
+- `.rel.plt` / `.rela.plt`
+> This section holds the `relocation` entries, which are used by the dynamic
+> linker to find which symbol needs to be resolved and which location in the
+> `GOT` to be patched. (Whether it is `rel` or `rela` depends on the
+> **DT_PLTREL** entry in the [`.dynamic` section](#dynamic-section))
+
+
+## The bits behind dynamic linking
+
+Now that we have the basic concept and know which sections of the ELF file
+matter we can take a look at an actual example. For the analysis I am going to
+use the following C program and build it explicitly as non `position
+independant executable (PIE)`.
+
+> Using `-no-pie` has no functional impact, it is only used to get absolute
+> virtual addresses in the ELF file, which makes the analysis easier to follow.
+
+```cpp
+// main.c
+#include <stdio.h>
+int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
+ printf("%s argc=%d\n", argv[0], argc);
+ puts("done");
+ return 0;
+}
+```
+
+```console
+> gcc -o main main.c -no-pie
+```
+
+We use [radare2][r2] to open the compiled file and print the disassembly of
+the `.got.plt` and `.plt` sections.
+
+```nasm
+> r2 -A ./main
+--snip--
+[0x00401050]> pd5 @ section..got.plt

+ └─< 0x0040104b e9d0ffffff jmp sym..plt
+[0x00401050]>
+```
+
+Taking a quick look at the `.got.plt` section we see the *global offset table GOT*.
+The entries *GOT[0..2]* have special meanings, *GOT[0]* holds the address of the
+[`.dynamic` section](#dynamic-section) for this ELF file, *GOT[1..2]* will be
+filled by the dynamic linker at program startup.
+Entries *GOT[3]* and *GOT[4]* contain the function pointers for **puts** and
+**printf** accordingly.
+
+<br>
+
+In the `.plt` section we can find three trampolines
+1. `0x00401020` dispatch to runtime linker (special role)
+1. `0x00401030` **puts**
+1. `0x00401040` **printf**
+
+Looking at the **puts** trampoline we can see that the first instruction jumps
+to a location stored at `0x00404018` (reloc.puts) which is the GOT[3]. In the
+beginning this entry contains the address of the `push 0` instruction coming
+right after the `jmp`. This push instruction sets up some meta data for the
+dynamic linker. The next instruction then jumps into the first trampoline,
+which pushes more meta data (GOT[1]) onto the stack and then jumps to the
+address stored in GOT[2].
+> GOT[1] & GOT[2] are zero here because they get filled by the dynamic linker
+> at program startup.
+
+
+<br>
+
+To understand the `push 0` instruction in the **puts** trampoline we have to
+take a look at the third section of interest in the ELF file, the `.rela.plt`
+section.
+
+```console
+# -r print relocations
+# -D use .dynamic info when displaying info
+> readelf -W -r ./main
+--snip--
+Relocation section '.rela.plt' at offset 0x4004d8 contains 2 entries:
+ Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
+0000000000404018 0000000200000007 R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 0000000000000000 puts@GLIBC_2.2.5 + 0
+0000000000404020 0000000300000007 R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 0000000000000000 printf@GLIBC_2.2.5 + 0
+```
+
+The `0` passed as meta data to the dynamic linker means to use the relocation
+at index [0] in the `.rela.plt` section. From the ELF specification we can
+find how a relocation of type `rela` is defined:
+
+```c
+// man 5 elf
+typedef struct {
+ Elf64_Addr r_offset;
+ uint64_t r_info;
+ int64_t r_addend;
+} Elf64_Rela;
+
+#define ELF64_R_SYM(i) ((i) >> 32)
+#define ELF64_R_TYPE(i) ((i) & 0xffffffff)
+```
+
+`r_offset` holds the address to the GOT entry which the dynamic linker should
+patch once it found the address of the requested symbol.
+The offset here is `0x00404018` which is exactly the address of GOT[3], the
+function pointer used in the **puts** trampoline.
+From `r_info` the dynamic linker can find out which symbol it should look for.
+
+```c
+ELF64_R_SYM(0x0000000200000007) -> 0x2
+```
+
+The resulting index [2] is the offset into the dynamic symbol table
+(`.dynsym`). Dumping the dynamic symbol table with readelf we can see that the
+symbol at index [2] is **puts**.
+
+```console
+# -s print symbols
+> readelf -W -s ./main
+Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 7 entries:
+ Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name

+## Appendix: .dynamic section
+
+The `.dynamic` section of an ELF file contains important information for the
+dynamic linking process and is created when linking the ELF file.
+
+The information can be accessed at runtime using following symbol
+```c
+extern Elf64_Dyn _DYNAMIC[];
+```
+which is an array of `Elf64_Dyn` entries
+```c
+typedef struct {
+ Elf64_Sxword d_tag;
+ union {
+ Elf64_Xword d_val;
+ Elf64_Addr d_ptr;
+ } d_un;
+} Elf64_Dyn;
+```
+> Since this meta-information is specific to an ELF file, every ELF file has
+> its own `.dynamic` section and `_DYNAMIC` symbol.
+
+Following entries are most interesting for dynamic linking:
+
+ d_tag | d_un | description
+-------------|-------|-------------------------------------------------
+ DT_PLTGOT | d_ptr | address of .got.plt
+ DT_JMPREL | d_ptr | address of .rela.plt
+ DT_PLTREL | d_val | DT_REL or DT_RELA
+ DT_PLTRELSZ | d_val | size of .rela.plt table
+ DT_RELENT | d_val | size of a single REL entry (PLTREL == DT_REL)
+ DT_RELAENT | d_val | size of a single RELA entry (PLTREL == DT_RELA)
+
+<br>
+
+We can use readelf to dump the `.dynamic` section. In the following snippet I
+only kept the relevant entries:
+```console
+# -d dump .dynamic section
+> readelf -d ./main
+
+Dynamic section at offset 0x2e10 contains 24 entries:
+ Tag Type Name/Value
+ 0x0000000000000003 (PLTGOT) 0x404000
+ 0x0000000000000002 (PLTRELSZ) 48 (bytes)
+ 0x0000000000000014 (PLTREL) RELA
+ 0x0000000000000017 (JMPREL) 0x4004d8
+ 0x0000000000000009 (RELAENT) 24 (bytes)
+```
+
+We can see that **PLTGOT** points to address **0x404000** which is the address
+of the GOT as we saw in the [radare2 dump](#code-gotplt-dump).
+Also we can see that **JMPREL** points to the [relocation table](#code-relaplt-dump).
+**PLTRELSZ / RELAENT** tells us that we have 2 relocation entries which are
+exactly the ones for **puts** and **printf**.
