From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx> NULL pointer reported in below lkp test report which should caused by invalid stack_table in very early stage before stack_depot_early_init called. I would like have kmemleak use stackdepot to track backtrace in this commit which lead to stack hash access before stackdepot is initialized. Add stack_table as extra criteria in __stack_depot_save's entry check. commit: a65edf711f97a0a3764fc04b0301ab2e073992db ("[PATCH] mm: use stack_depot for recording kmemleak's backtrace") url: https://github.com/intel-lab-lkp/linux/commits/zhaoyang-huang/mm-use-stack_depot-for-recording-kmemleak-s-backtrace/20220929-183243 base: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm.git mm-everything patch link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1664447407-8821-1-git-send-email-zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx in testcase: boot on test machine: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu SandyBridge -smp 2 -m 16G caused below changes (please refer to attached dmesg/kmsg for entire log/backtrace): [ 0.191645][ T0] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [ 0.192360][ T0] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 0.192862][ T0] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 0.193371][ T0] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 0.193672][ T0] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI [ 0.194051][ T0] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 6.0.0-rc3-00706-ga65edf711f97 #26 [ 0.194755][ T0] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.0-debian-1.16.0-4 04/01/2014 [ 0.195583][ T0] RIP: 0010:__stack_depot_save (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/lib/stackdepot.c:452) [ 0.196081][ T0] Code: 03 48 c7 c7 ec 17 b3 84 e8 f1 ea 85 ff 44 89 e0 23 05 d4 aa 01 03 48 8d 04 c3 48 89 c3 48 89 c7 48 89 44 24 28 e8 34 fc 85 ff <4c> 8b 33 4d 85 f6 0f 84 b6 00 00 00 8b 04 24 83 e8 01 48 8d 04 c5 All code ======== 0: 03 48 c7 add -0x39(%rax),%ecx 3: c7 (bad) 4: ec in (%dx),%al 5: 17 (bad) 6: b3 84 mov $0x84,%bl 8: e8 f1 ea 85 ff callq 0xffffffffff85eafe d: 44 89 e0 mov %r12d,%eax 10: 23 05 d4 aa 01 03 and 0x301aad4(%rip),%eax # 0x301aaea 16: 48 8d 04 c3 lea (%rbx,%rax,8),%rax 1a: 48 89 c3 mov %rax,%rbx 1d: 48 89 c7 mov %rax,%rdi 20: 48 89 44 24 28 mov %rax,0x28(%rsp) 25: e8 34 fc 85 ff callq 0xffffffffff85fc5e 2a:* 4c 8b 33 mov (%rbx),%r14 <-- trapping instruction 2d: 4d 85 f6 test %r14,%r14 30: 0f 84 b6 00 00 00 je 0xec 36: 8b 04 24 mov (%rsp),%eax 39: 83 e8 01 sub $0x1,%eax 3c: 48 rex.W 3d: 8d .byte 0x8d 3e: 04 c5 add $0xc5,%al Code starting with the faulting instruction =========================================== 0: 4c 8b 33 mov (%rbx),%r14 3: 4d 85 f6 test %r14,%r14 6: 0f 84 b6 00 00 00 je 0xc2 c: 8b 04 24 mov (%rsp),%eax f: 83 e8 01 sub $0x1,%eax 12: 48 rex.W 13: 8d .byte 0x8d 14: 04 c5 add $0xc5,%al [ 0.197693][ T0] RSP: 0000:ffffffff83603ca8 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 0.198214][ T0] RAX: ffffffff83613cd8 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffffffff81b16d2c [ 0.198858][ T0] RDX: 0000000000000b1e RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 0.199499][ T0] RBP: 00000000c5a6b597 R08: ffffffff8479d118 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 0.200142][ T0] R10: 0000000000000004 R11: 0001ffffffffffff R12: 0000000027b2cd0a [ 0.200787][ T0] R13: 0000000000000003 R14: 000000004954f68c R15: ffffffff83603d54 [ 0.201488][ T0] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffffff842c9000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 0.202247][ T0] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 0.202807][ T0] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 000000000360a000 CR4: 00000000000406b0 [ 0.203470][ T0] Call Trace: [ 0.203748][ T0] <TASK> [ 0.203996][ T0] stack_depot_save (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/lib/stackdepot.c:534) [ 0.204406][ T0] set_track_prepare (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/mm/slub.c:752) [ 0.204816][ T0] ? memblock_alloc_range_nid (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/mm/memblock.c:1424) [ 0.205311][ T0] ? memblock_alloc_internal (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/mm/memblock.c:1514) [ 0.205781][ T0] ? memblock_alloc_try_nid (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/mm/memblock.c:1614 (discriminator 3)) [ 0.206238][ T0] ? setup_command_line (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/init/main.c:631) [ 0.206670][ T0] ? start_kernel (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/init/main.c:965) [ 0.207068][ T0] ? secondary_startup_64_no_verify (kbuild/src/x86_64-2/arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S:358) [ 0.207612][ T0] ? __raw_callee_save___native_queued_spin_unlock (??:?)
