# NetBSD Instructions to set up syzkaller for a Linux Host and an amd64 NetBSD kernel. ## Installing and building Syzkaller on Linux Host 1. Install all the dependencies for Syzkaller (Go distribution can be downloaded from https://golang.org/dl/) 2. Clone the Syzkaller Repository ```sh $ go get -u -d github.com/google/syzkaller/.. $ cd ~/go/src/github.com/google/syzkaller ``` 3. Compile Syzkaller for NetBSD ```sh $ make TARGETOS=netbsd ``` The above steps should have built the Syzkaller binaries (Except the syz-executor binary) for NetBSD. You can see the compiled binaries in `bin/netbsd_amd64`. ## Setting up a NetBSD VM with qemu Please follow the tutorial given [here](https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/BSD#NetBSD) to setup a basic NetBSD VM with qemu. After installing and running the NetBSD VM on qemu please follow the steps below to configure ssh. 1. Create a ssh-keypair on the host and save it as `netbsdkey`. ```sh $ ssh-keygen -t rsa ``` 2. Append the following lines to `/etc/rc.conf` on the guest. ``` sshd=YES ifconfig_wm0="inet 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0" ``` 3. Append this to `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` on the guest. ``` Port 22 ListenAddress 10.0.2.15 PermitRootLogin without-password ``` 4. Copy your public key to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the guest and `reboot` the VM. 5. After reboot make sure that the ssh is working properly. Replace the port with what you have configured. ```sh $ ssh -i path/to/netbsdkey -p 10022 root@127.0.0.1 ``` If the last command returns a proper shell it means the VM has been configured. ## Compiling the executor binary Syzkaller doesn't support compiling the executor binary on a linux host hence you have to copy the required files to the NetBSD guest and compile them separately. 1. Copy the content of the `executor/` folder to the NetBSD guest. (You can use the scp command for the same) 2. Compile the executor binary with the following command on the guest. (replace GIT_VERSION_HERE with the output of `git rev-parse HEAD` in the host) ```sh $ gcc executor.cc -o syz-executor -O1 -lpthread -DGOOS_netbsd=1 -DGOARCH_amd64=1 -DGIT_REVISION=\"GIT_VERSION_HERE\" ``` 3. Copy the `syz-executor` file back to `bin/netbsd_amd64` on the linux host. ## Compiling a NetBSD kernel (Optional) You can compile a kernel with KASAN to increase the chances of finding bugs. 1. Make a copy of the config file ```sh $ cp sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC sys/arch/amd64/conf/SYZKALLER ``` 2. Uncomment the following lines in `sys/arch/amd64/conf/SYZKALLER` to enable KASAN ``` #makeoptions KASAN=1 # Kernel Address Sanitizer #options KASAN #no options SVS ``` 4. Compile the kernel with KASAN ```sh $ ./build.sh -m amd64 -j4 tools $ ./build.sh -m amd64 -j4 kernel=SYZKALLER ``` 4. Compiled kernel image should be found in `sys/arch/amd64/compile/SYZKALLER` and should have the name `netbsd`. You need to copy it to the installed VM and reboot the VM. ## Running Syzkaller 1. If all of the above worked, `poweroff` the VM and create `netbsd.cfg` config file with the following contents (alter paths as necessary): ``` { "name": "netbsd", "target": "netbsd/amd64", "http": ":10000", "workdir": "work", "syzkaller": "$GOPATH/src/github.com/google/syzkaller", "image": "path/to/netbsd.img", "sshkey": "/path/to/netbsdkey", "sandbox": "none", "procs": 2, "cover": false, "type": "qemu", "vm": { "qemu": "qemu-system-x86_64", "count": 2, "cpu": 2, "mem": 2048 } } ``` (Above directories have to be specified to the exact locations and the ssh keys must be in a separate directory with chmod 700 permissions set to that directory and chmod 600 permissions to the files in both the guest and the host.) 2. Then, start `syz-manager` with: (Inside the syzkaller folder where the netbsd.cfg file also exists) ```sh $ bin/syz-manager -config netbsd.cfg ``` (You can add a `-debug` flag to the above command to view the log if any issues arise.) 3. Once syzkaller has started executing, it should start printing output along the lines of: ``` booting test machines... wait for the connection from test machine... machine check: 253 calls enabled, kcov=true, kleakcheck=false, faultinjection=false, comps=false executed 3622, cover 1219, crashes 0, repro 0 executed 7921, cover 1239, crashes 0, repro 0 executed 32807, cover 1244, crashes 0, repro 0 executed 35803, cover 1248, crashes 0, repro 0 ``` ## Missing things - Automating the configuation changes (like appending to config files), generating the json config file on the fly (with customizable values to the keys using command line parameters) and calling syz-manager with `anita` using just a single command. - Coverage. `executor/executor_netbsd.cc` uses a very primitive fallback for coverage. We need KCOV for NetBSD. It will also help to assess what's covered and what's missing. - System call descriptions. `sys/netbsd/*.txt` is a dirty copy from `sys/linux/*.txt` with everything that does not compile dropped. We need to go through syscalls and verify/fix/extend them, including devices/ioctls/etc. - Currently only `amd64` arch is supported. Supporting `386` would be useful, because it should cover compat paths. Also, we could do testing of the linux-compatibility subsystem. - `pkg/csource` needs to be taught how to generate/build C reproducers. - `pkg/host` needs to be taught how to detect supported syscalls/devices. - `pkg/report`/`pkg/symbolizer` need to be taught how to extract/symbolize kernel crash reports. - We need to learn how to build/use debug version of kernel. - On Linux we have emission of exernal networking/USB traffic into kernel using tun/gadgetfs. Implementing these for NetBSD could uncover a number of high-profile bugs. - Last but not least, we need to support NetBSD in `syz-ci` command (including building kernel/image continuously from git).
