As we attempt to strengthen the sandbox settings, we need to broker some Win32 APIs.  This bug is a placeholder to represent work on brokering operations that permit SSL communication in the plugin process.  The idea is to expose a limited amount of the Win32 API to plugins -- just enough to allow SSL communication.  The rest of behavior is undisturbed.  In particular, this means that we will not (presently) attempt to broker non-SSL (SChannel) API usage.  We will also take advantage of the fact that we are limited to supporting Flash -- the API surface is large and a lot of the determination of what needs to be brokered is based on trial and error.

Posting WIPs since this is getting heavy.
Hey Bob,

This (huge) patch is the meat of the automatic brokering that I've been working on (the others you can ignore for now).  It actually works but I'm still playing with it and, since I haven't added the network APIs yet, it doesn't really fix anything.  I just wanted to get some other eyes on it early in case you have any recommendations going forward.  I see that you aren't accepting feedback requests but this is not at all urgent -- you can take a look (or not) whenever is convenient. 

I've managed to stay away from a lot of the complexity and overhead (no <functional>, for example) but it ain't exactly beginner code.  There are some docs in PluginHooksWin.h that I'm hoping clarify it enough for people to use.  I'd like it to be even simpler (there's still some boilerplate) but I don't see how without adding needless complexity.

The rest of the effort is adding the networking APIs and changing it to use another actor (still currently uses the chrome proc's main actor).

I think I see what you're trying to achieve here from a brief look, but I'm not really that familiar with the hooking and brokering we already have in place for NPAPI (just the bit in the parent where we actually interface with the sandbox for the file permissions).
I doubt I'll have the time to get up to speed before I'm on PTO again.

So, I think jimm is better placed to provide feedback here.
Sorry I didn't get to this before.

Many thanks Bob.  To be clear, I'm just posting this because it would be obnoxious to roll out with something so big all at once at the last minute.  jimm, I'm sure you don't have much time for this either and that's not a problem.  It'll be a while before the final product is ready anyway.

Here we go.

Most of the patches in this series should be stable and these opcodes are enough to pass the TestDllInterceptor with the new methods added (patch #10) on my Win 10 machine and on try Windows 7 and 8 but I am still dealing with failures on Win 10 try machines, so I will be adding more opcodes to this patch.

Trivial -- this makes dealing with the DLL interceptor easier in later patches.
Attachment #8927002 - Flags: review?(aklotz)
The idea is that each function that we hook with the nsWindowsDllInterceptor gets a FunctionHook object, constructed statically and listed in sFunctionsToHook (the first example of this is in patch #8).  BasicFunctionHook is the implementation of FunctionHook -- we need FunctionHook because BasicFunctionHook is generic and can't be used directly in an array.

The static HookFunctions sets up the DLL interception.  HookProtectedMode is just copied from some old DLL interceptor calls (taken from PluginModuleChild in patch 8) -- I intend to move it to use the new FunctionHook system at some point.

The only interesting use of templates here is that the mShouldHook function is set to default to AlwaysHook but it represents a test, run by HookFunctions to decide at run time if we should really go through with it.  The field is specialized to change this behavior.  See patch 8 for examples that specialize the test to check the quirks mode.

Note that this object has nothing to do with brokering itself -- it is used by the brokering mechanism in later patches but there are also functions that we intercept that use this class directly (they are intercepted to alter their functionality but they are not brokered).
The (top level) parent/child actors used for brokering run in their own threads on their respective processes.  Specifically, we need to be able to create a thread in the NPAPI process.

This exposed that we never initialize the nsIThreadManager there...
which exposed that we never initialize XPCOM there...
which 'exposed' that we never shut down XPCOM there...
which exposed that a bunch of stuff that is wired into XPCOM shutdown never happens.  Notably, this includes the ClearOnShutdown mechanism [1], which is handled by XPCOM shutdown events [2] and is used all over the place to free static singletons.

XPCOM has two existing initialization functions [3][4] that don't seem to be enforcing a genuine minimal requirement for system init, despite the name.  I've had good success initializing only NS_LogInit and the thread manager in the NPAPI process so that's what I've done.  Not only is it dangerous to do more since weird things can break (at least one of the services in there randomly uses some JS helpers for logging -- invalid in NPAPI proc) but limited init should be good for performance.  If more is needed, it can still be added.

The PluginProcessChild changes can mostly be related to behavior in the GPUProcessChild.

IpdlTuple is used for run-time type validation of (untrusted) IPC objects.  Normally, IPDL would do this for us but, in our case, that would require a different IPDL message for each brokered API.  Instead, we have one IPDL message (in a later patch) that sends an IpdlTuple and returns another one.  The tuple is then accessed by the correct types at compile time, with run-time type guarantees inserted.

The tuple is essentially just an array of Variants (ie unions), where the Variant is over all of the types the IpdlTuple supports.

String memory management is a bit tricky since the Win32 APIs usually use char*s for strings so we have to be careful.  This is why the tuple has specializations that apply to nsDependentCString -- it comes up in a later patch.
This patch sets up the PluginBroker actors on their own threads.  Its kicked off by PluginModuleChromeParent::LoadModule, which already sets up the PluginModuleParent/Child.  After them, it now creates the PluginBrokerParent and sends InitPluginFunctionBroker to the PluginModuleChild, who creates and wires up the PluginBrokerChild.  After that, the threads run autonomously until shutdown.  The shutdown dance that they do is required to thread-safely handle messages still in the queue when ActorDestroy is received.
FunctionBroker is the meat of this series.  Its a subclass of BasicFunctionHook that brokers the method over the FunctionBroker* actors.  It makes sure that all IPC happens on the dedicated brokering thread.  If it fails to broker a method, it runs the local (presumably sandboxed) version.

The system is written is a very declarative style.  Most customization is done via template specialization, which allows us to e.g. generically support marshaling some types and not others since we know which parameters are fixed at compile time (as opposed to early implementations which leaned heavily on MOZ_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE).  These are the major components:

***

FunctionBroker:
Represents the whole brokering system (on both processes).  It has a RequestHandler and a ResponseHandler and a method, RunFunction.  The Handlers are defined below.  RunFunction is called to actually run the method on the server.  However, RunFunction can be specialized to do whatever on the server (parent) side.  See patch 8 for an example.

The FunctionBroker also supports returning the Win32 thread error when appropriate, which is often required for proper API behavior.

RequestHandler/ResponseHandler: 
Represents the two phases of the communication.  Each phase has a Marshal and Unmarshal method.  As usual, the progression of the operation is RequestHandler::Marshal (client parameters), RequestHandler::Unmarshal (server parameters), ResponseHandler::Marshal (server result), ResponseHandler::Unmarshal (client result).  Each handler has an Info object (RequestInfo or ResponseInfo) and two Marshalers (Marshaler and Unmarshaler).  The Info object is where users are expected to put data for a particular brokered API.  The marshalers are (fixed) functionality and are specific to the endpoint.  In cases where specializing the Info is insufficient, API hooks can specialize these Marshal/Unmarshal methods in the handlers.

A common pattern (indeed, practically the only examples I've written) when specializing Marshal/Unmarshal, is to have those methods delegate to another Handler, converting parameters to types that are IPDL-compatible.  This is only needed in complex cases, like when a buffer is given as a void* and an int length -- these two parameters can be used to call a delegate that works with nsCStrings (which we can create from the void* and length).  In cases where types are relatable one-object-to-one-object, its probably better to use the IPCTypeMap (below).   There are many examples of such delegates in patches 8 and 9.

The RequestHandler also has a ShouldBroker function that can be specialized to reject certain parameter combinations (in this case, the un-hooked version of the function is run).  This allows us to e.g. limit brokering to network calls that use SSL.

Note that the ServerCallData object is used in the server-side request phase (ie unmarshaling parameters) -- this is where most dynamic objects need to be created.  The ServerCallData is for tracking those objects and destroying them before we return from the IPDL call.
In the response, parameter # -1 is used for the return value.

RequestInfo/ResponseInfo:
This is where most API-specific brokering behavior will go (unless the handlers use a delegate as explained above).  Hooks can set some parameters to marshal and not others (again, see patches 8 and 9 for examples).  Others can be 'fixed', meaning we only broker if they match a certain value (this is the default ShouldBroker behavior) and, in that case, we don't bother to marshal that particular parameter.

Marshaler:
The marshaler walks over the parameter lists, doing basic type conversion and deciding if it should marshal/unmarshal something.  Its not intended to be specialized.

EndpointHandler:
This is a warehouse for behavior that is special to the endpoint (server/client).  Right now, its just used to Copy() between IPDL types and Win32 API types.  Noteworthy is that various handle types (such as HANDLEs, that typedef void*, and SecHandles, which are two) are 'obfuscated' by a mechanism that returns them to the client as odd numbers.  This assumes they are never naturally odd -- we then use this in later calls to know if a HANDLE or SecHandle is actually from the server process.

IPCTypeMap:
Used to map types to types.  The system will actually convert between the types by calling Copy(dest, src) on the proper EndpointHandler.

***

NOTE:
RequestHandler::CheckFixedParam and RequestInfo::HasFixedValue both use a weird template trick to test the existence of a field.  Consider CheckFixedParam:

>    // If no FixedValue<paramIndex> is defined and equal to FixedType then always pass.
>    template<int paramIndex, typename = int>
>    struct CheckFixedParam
>    {
>      template<typename ParamType>
>      static inline bool Check(const ParamType& param) { return true; }
>    };
>    
>    // If FixedValue<paramIndex> is defined then check equality.
>    template<int paramIndex>
>    struct CheckFixedParam<paramIndex,
>                           decltype(Info::template FixedValue<paramIndex>::value,0)>
>    {
>      template<typename ParamType>
>      static inline bool Check(ParamType& aParam)
>      {
>        return ParameterEquality(aParam,
>                                 Info::template FixedValue<paramIndex>::value);
>      }
>    };

The second type parameter is always 'int' -- which is good since that's what the default will force at all call sites.  In particular, if FixedValue<paramIndex>::value is defined then 'decltype(Info::template FixedValue<paramIndex>::value,0)' is int (since the type of 0 is int and the type of the sequence 'x, y' is the type of 'y').  But if FixedValue... is not defined then that would be a type error.  C++ template rules will pick the most specialized valid version so they pick the FixedValue version if and only if the FixedValue exists.
Migrating hooks for existing functionality.  Note that this includes examples of BasicFunctionHook and FunctionBroker.
New APIs for SSL.  About 8 of these may not be needed but were part of the experiment.
Added DLL Interceptor tests.  This test still fails in Win 10 try builds.

4. Init/Shutdown parts of XPCOM needed in plugin process

Review of attachment 8927952 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

My first question is do you really need XPCOM? Are you just looking to have a thread you tell to run a function periodically? It's possible the ipc threads are good enough for this (I'm not an ipc expert so it's completely reasonable if the answer is no).


If you need xpcom threads my general thought here is we shouldn't be calling shutdown on things that weren't initialized. How hard would it be to cleanup the services you used directly in `PluginProcessChild::Cleanup`? I'm thinking something like:

> nsThreadManager::get().Shutdown();                          // you initialized this
> mozilla::KillClearOnShutdown(ShutdownPhase::ShutdownFinal); // somewhere along the line things were registered
> NS_LogTerm();                                               // you initialized this

If this becomes a quagmire I'm open to re-reviewing the existing patch.

You probably want more of what we setup in NS_InitMinimalXPCOM, ie:

Since we're not doing a full xpcom init we probably shouldn't use the shutdown function (the GPU process doesn't), I think you're going to end up chasing a bunch of random crashes.

This is also cut-and-paste code and, while the comment in there seems sure about what the code means, I'm not.  I'm hesitant to remove this without digging into what it does.

This is more cut-and-paste code I think I should leave alone.  I _could_ update this but I'd want an experiment to test it out and I don't have one.

Done.  FYI, the code is for disabling Flash protected mode (bug 1108035).

They are all static C strings but the API doesn't enforce that so I switched to nsCString.

I was thinking FunctionHook might need a header. I think you have pretty good docs written in other location so this probably isn't necessary.

In this case, I do need the thread.  I need the new top-level actor (PFunctionBroker) to run on a different thread than the other top-level actors (PPluginModule) use.  There are both performance issues (the main thread is already very busy) and deadlocks (at least one occasionally during NPP_Shutdown) that come up.

Cleaned up.

> What's MHI stand for here?
Nothing good.  These docs are a mess of various implementations I've had as the code progressed.  I think the new comments are better.
Horrifyingly, I'm also noticing that I somehow missed that I left this naming convention for most of the objects in this class (GetKeyStateMHI still existed, even in code).  I've gone and renamed everything -- all in patches 8 and 9.  (FYI, MHI stood for MethodHookInfo, which is what FunctionHook used to be called)

> Does the networking code need this or is this for older api hooking code? Seems odd that we'd need a printdlg structure in here.
The PrintDlg hook... I thought I'd cleaned that up.  Its supposed to be just another cut-and-paste job from old code (no brokering).  In a later bug, I plan to redo it to use brokering to fix the print-dialog-window-depth-order issue we picked up a little while ago.

> I noticed this as well, looks a little unreliable. file a follow up on this maybe?
OK.

> What kind of handle is this copying?
SCHANNEL_CREDs are actually Win32 data objects used in the initialization of SSL.  Its used with AcquireCredentialsHandle [1][2]

> do we need diagnostic asserts on these parameters?
This is only used in a call with clearly non-null parameters.  This used to be an anonymous function right next to the call so that was obvious but its not anymore so I added the ASSERTs.  There is no decent way to test the elements of the parameter pack so I didn't bother with that.


In addition to all that, I made some cosmetic changes.  They were:

* I noticed that some stuff had gone into this patch that was removed in patch 9.  I've cleared that out.
(It was everything related to PSecBufferDesc and LPINTERNET_BUFFERS, whose API hooks weren't needed in the end.)
* I also made a minor change to:
inline void EndpointHandler<SERVER>::Copy(ServerCallData* aScd, char*& aDest, const nsDependentCSubstring& aSrc)
It had some extraneous const_cast code in it that had clearly been left over from something else I was doing.
* Finally, in PostToDispatchThread, I changed a stale cut-and-paste comment from:
  // Synchronously run GetFileNameTask from the main thread.
  // Start a semaphore at 0.  We release the semaphore (bringing its
  // count to 1) when the synchronous call is done.
to:
  // Run PostToDispatchHelper on the dispatch thread.  It will notify our
  // waiting monitor when it is done.
* Removed the log handler with this line:
    HOOK_LOG(LogLevel::Verbose, ("Parameter %d: TODO: Figure out why string array doesnt log.", aIndex));
  ...as it was old and that problem with the logging no longer exists (the default handler now works fine for string arrays).

Attachment #8927956 - Attachment is obsolete: true
Hey jimm, I made two changes that are worth a glance:

1. I added the non-brokered PrintDlgW hook to this patch.  It's adapted from the old PluginModuleChild PrintDlgW code.
2. I re-added InternetErrorDlg (it was one of the APIs I removed by the patch in comment 30).  This enables the test case in bug 1360804 comment 0.  With the current nightly, that example pops up a modal _behind_ the browser (it's properly complaining about an expired cert).  The patch series without the InternetErrorDlg brokering just shows connection failure (since InternetErrorDlg fails to display a message in that case).  With InternetErrorDlg brokered, I see no issues.

If you do this thread creation/init in the ctor and it fails for some reason, then there is no good way to detect/report/handle the error.

Please don't call this CreateInstance, it has a very specific meaning for XPCOM/COM and this is not an XPCOM component right? Also this is a singleton so we don't really create an instance here, except for the first call. It should be something like start/init/etc and it should probably return bool or nsresult since the thread creation can fail which would make the whole broker completely broken.

I'm not sure I get this. If you call lock here and then wait. ShutdownOnDispatchThread gets called from the other thread and the first thing it tries to do is a lock as well, which seems like a deadlock to me. Am I missing something?

Making this an nsCString lead to a cascading static-construction issue that led to a memory leak.  The const char* wasn't dangerous but it was sloppy and the static construction of all of the FunctionHook/FunctionBroker objects was even sloppier (and against the principles of Quantum anyway).  So I've refactored the system to create the FunctionHook/Broker objects on demand (which is actually rare since it only happens when you use Flash).  

In a little more detail, I added FunctionHookArray (FunctionHook::sFunctionHooks), which is an nsTArray that replaces the old global sFunctionsToHook C-Array.  Through this refactor, we eliminate any non-trivial static objects. 
I also added FunctionHook::GetHooks (which creates the singleton) and FunctionHook::AddFunctionHooks, for adding functions we simply hook (as opposed to functions we broker, which come later as FunctionBroker::AddBrokeredFunctionHooks).
The actual construction of the objects for the functions that are hooked/brokered come in later patches (patches 8 and 9).

The rest of the patch is essentially the same as the prior version.

Ah, this is one of my least favorite of the conventional synchronization primitives, but it does do what the comment says.  Wait() is basically PR_WaitCondVar.  From the docs [1]:

> ** The thread that waits on a condition is blocked in a "waiting on
> ** condition" state until another thread notifies the condition or a
> ** caller specified amount of time expires. The lock associated with
> ** the condition variable will be released, which must have be held

> **
> ** Logically a notified thread is moved from the "waiting on condition"
> ** state and made "ready." When scheduled, it will attempt to reacquire

The point is that it _atomically_ releases the lock _and_ waits to be notified, so no one else can sneak in a nofity between the release and the wait.  This release is why it doesn't deadlock.

> There is only one place you notify monitor right? So why is the while

Short answer: spurious wakes.  They are a part of life in Windows and POSIX.  This is the standard way to handle them.  For the longer answer, see [2].

This patch got some 'almost' substantive changes from the refactor but is mostly unchanged.  Things to note:

* FunctionBroker.h docs updated to reflect new architecture.
* LogParameterValue change to avoid string operations when the log is off.
* AddBrokeredFunctionHooks declaration (it adds the FunctionBroker objects to the array, instead of us inserting them as static globals).
* FunctionBrokerParent creates FunctionHook from the correct thread (main thread -- not the message thread).

Fixed some of the nits but all were in old code that was just moved and some were things I'd rather not touch without understanding better.

This patch just moved that function from PluginModuleChild.cpp [1].

-------------

Some minor but consequential changes crept in:

* Moved BasicFunctionHook-ed functions from FunctionBroker.cpp to FunctionHook.cpp.  FunctionBroker.cpp now only has the brokered methods.
* Added those functions in FunctionHook::AddFunctionHooks instead of the previous statically-defined globals in FunctionBroker.cpp
* FunctionBrokerIPCUtils.h's FormatBlob function : needsEllipsis -> maybeEllipsis to avoid an AppendPrintf bug.  Apparently it does some flawed static analysis to try to optimize varargs behavior and was ending up incorrectly operating on the ?: result.  So I removed the ?: stuff.

This patch changed to add only brokered functions in FunctionBroker.cpp (again, the FunctionHook functions were moved to FunctionHook.cpp).

I also needed to broker two new functions : HttpSendRequestExA and InternetErrorDlgW.  HttpSendRequestExA required adding serialization of the LPINTERNET_BUFFERS type as IPCInternetBuffers in FunctionBrokerIPCUtils -- so that code is also new in thie patch.  It is used in upload/download cases (like tinywebgallery [1]).  InternetErrorDlgW was explained in comment 48.

6. Start/stop new top-level brokering actors on their own threads

I'm switching reviewers from Gabor -- and acknowledging that a review will not come any time soon.

The previous review is in comment 54.  I addressed his notes in comment 62.

8. Migrate some previously hooked functions to FunctionHook/Broker (r=jimm)

Review of attachment 8941716 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

jimm is not on the IPC reviewer list for modifying sync-messages.ini, and therefore the hg hook that checks for appropriate reviewing of patches that modify sync-messages.ini is unhappy.  I am adding my r+ here (really kind of an rs+) so my name can go on the patch and pacify the hg hook, assuming we try to land this series of patches before jimm's name gets added.

I know this _used_ to pass mingw.  My error.  I'll try to be more thorough.

The clipboard mochitest failures seem to be exacerbated by this patch but aren't caused by it.  Still, I'm dealing with them in bug 1430586.
