That line 2534 is the call inside the hlist_for_each_entry() loop:
hlist_for_each_entry(notifier, &curr->preempt_notifiers, link)
notifier->ops->sched_in(notifier, raw_smp_processor_id());
and the Code: line disassembly is
0: ff 11 callq *(%rcx)
2: 4c 89 f9 mov %r15,%rcx
5: 48 c1 e9 03 shr $0x3,%rcx
9: 42 80 3c 31 00 cmpb $0x0,(%rcx,%r14,1)
e: 0f 85 1b 02 00 00 jne 0x22f
14: 4d 8b 3f mov (%r15),%r15
17: 4d 85 ff test %r15,%r15
1a: 0f 84 c0 fd ff ff je 0xfffffffffffffde0
20: 49 8d 7f 10 lea 0x10(%r15),%rdi
24: 48 89 f9 mov %rdi,%rcx
27: 48 c1 e9 03 shr $0x3,%rcx
2b:* 42 80 3c 31 00 cmpb $0x0,(%rcx,%r14,1) <-- trapping instruction
30: 74 ae je 0xffffffffffffffe0
32: e8 a7 cc 5b 00 callq 0x5bccde
37: eb a7 jmp 0xffffffffffffffe0
39: 4c 89 fe mov %r15,%rsi
3c: 4c 89 e7 mov %r12,%rdi
and while the "callq *(%rcx)" might be just the end part of some
previous instruction, I think it may be right (there is indeed an
indirect call in that function - that very "->sched_in()" call).
So I think the oops happens after the indirect call returns.
I think the second "callq" is
call __asan_report_load8_noabort
and the actual trapping instruction is loading the KASAN byte state.
As far as I can tell, the kasan check is trying to check this part of
hlist_for_each_entry():
movq (%r15), %r15 # notifier_110->link.next,
and %r15 is dead000000000100, which is LIST_POISON1.
End result: KASAN actually makes these things harder to debug, because
it's trying to "validate" the list poison values before they are used,
and takes a much more complex and indirect fault in the process,
instead of just getting a page-fault on the LIST_POISON1 that would
have made it more obvious.
Oh well.
There is nothing in this that indicates that it's actually related to
KASAN, and it _should_ oops even without KASAN enabled.
But the reproducer does nothing for me. Of course, I didn't actually
run it on linux-next at all, so it is quite possibly related to
scheduler work (or the TLB/pagetable work) that just hasn't hit
mainstream yet.
None of the scheduler people seem to have been on the report, though.
Adding some in.
