>From commit 90954e7b9407 ("x86/coredump: Use pr_reg size, rather that TIF_IA32 flag") elf coredump file is constructed according to register set size - and that's good: if binary crashes with 32-bit code selector, generate 32-bit ELF core, otherwise - 64-bit core. That was made for restoring 32-bit applications on x86_64: we want 32-bit application after restore to generate 32-bit ELF dump on crash. All was quite good and recently I started reworking 32-bit applications dumping part of CRIU: now it has two parasites (32 and 64) for seizing compat/native tasks, after rework it'll have one parasite, working in 64-bit mode, to which 32-bit prologue long-jumps during infection. And while it has worked for my work machine, in VM with !CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI during reworking I faced that segfault in 32-bit binary, that has long-jumped to 64-bit mode results in dereference of garbage: 32-victim[19266]: segfault at f775ef65 ip 00000000f775ef65 sp 00000000f776aa50 error 14 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffffffffff IP: [<ffffffff81332ce0>] strlen+0x0/0x20 PGD 1e09067 PUD 1e0b067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 19266 Comm: 32-victim Not tainted 4.9.0-rc6 #18 task: ffff88013a183500 task.stack: ffffc90009ca4000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81332ce0>] [<ffffffff81332ce0>] strlen+0x0/0x20 RSP: 0000:ffffc90009ca7a40 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: 0000000000000030 RBX: ffff88013789add0 RCX: 0000000000000804 RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: ffffc90009ca7cf8 RDI: ffffffffffffffff RBP: ffffc90009ca7a68 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff88013fd9b058 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffffc90009ca7cf8 R13: ffffc90009ca7b18 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88013a77df60 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88013fd80000(0063) knlGS:00000000f75a06c0 CS: 0010 DS: 002b ES: 002b CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffffffffffffffff CR3: 0000000137be5000 CR4: 00000000001406e0 DR0: 00000000f775f420 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000600 Stack: ffffffff811d6929 00000005378deda8 0000000200000200 ffff88013789ad00 ffffc90009ca7cf8 ffffc90009ca7c18 ffffffff811d9479 ffff88013a183500 00000000000000bc 0000000200000010 ffffc90009ca7b48 ffffc90009ca7b30 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811d6929>] ? writenote+0x19/0xa0 [<ffffffff811d9479>] elf_core_dump+0x11a9/0x1480 [<ffffffff811dc70b>] do_coredump+0xa6b/0xe60 [<ffffffff81065820>] ? signal_wake_up_state+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffff81065941>] ? complete_signal+0xf1/0x1f0 [<ffffffff810679e8>] get_signal+0x1a8/0x5c0 [<ffffffff8101b1a3>] do_signal+0x23/0x660 [<ffffffff811268d3>] ? printk+0x48/0x4a [<ffffffff810a37ba>] ? vprintk_default+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff81055375>] ? bad_area+0x41/0x48 [<ffffffff8104b4b3>] ? __do_page_fault+0x3e3/0x490 [<ffffffff81054296>] exit_to_usermode_loop+0x34/0x65 [<ffffffff8100178f>] prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x2f/0x40 [<ffffffff818f861b>] retint_user+0x8/0x10 That's because we have 64-bit registers set (with according total size) and we're writing it to elf_thread_core_info which has smaller size on !CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI. That lead to overwriting ELF notes part. Tested on 32-, 64-bit ELF crashes and on 32-bit binaries that have jumped with 64-bit code selector - all is readable with gdb.
