[PATCH] x86/kprobes: Prohibit probing on rcu_nmi_exit() and ist_exit()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Prohibit probing on rcu_nmi_exit() and ist_exit() which
are called from do_int3()'s kprobe path after kprobe_int3_handler().

The commit c13324a505c7 ("x86/kprobes: Prohibit probing on
functions before kprobe_int3_handler()") tried to fix similar
issue, but it only marks the functions before kprobe_int3_handler()
in do_int3().

If we put a kprobe on rcu_nmi_exit() or ist_exit(), the kprobes
will detect reentrance. However, it only skips the kprobe handler,
exits from do_int3() and hits ist_exit() and rcu_nmi_exit() again.
Thus, it causes another int3 exception and finally we will get
the kernel panic with "Unrecoverable kprobe detected." error message.

This is reproducible by the following commands.

/ # echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization
/ # echo p vfs_read > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
/ # echo p rcu_nmi_exit >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
/ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
