Colin Ian King writes via Kernel.org Bugzilla: Passing a read-only incorrectly aligned address into getcpu() causes a kernel panic. I originally found this issue when testing stress-ng using stress-ng --sysbadaddr 1, I've managed to make a short reproducer that can panic the kernel on every invocation of the program. I can reproduce this on mainline kernels (in Debian), tested and reproduced on kernels 6.6.15, 6.9.7 and 6.10.6, so it's been around a while and it's still reproducible on recent kernels. This only occurs on PA-RISC (hppa) kernels and only tested in a QEMU VM since I don't have access to real H/W. cking@hppa:~$ cat crash.c #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <sched.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <unistd.h> void main(void) { char *addr; addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); if (addr != MAP_FAILED) getcpu((int *)addr, (int *)(1 + addr)); } cking@hppa:~$ gcc crash.c -o crash cking@hppa:~$ ./crash [ 361.158650] Backtrace: [ 361.159621] [<10413c78>] handle_unaligned+0x590/0x710 [ 361.159621] [<10409354>] handle_interruption+0x1dc/0x7b8 [ 361.159621] [<104545d8>] sys_getcpu+0x30/0x74 [ 361.159621] [ 361.159621] [ 361.159621] Page fault: bad address: Code=26 (Data memory access rights trap) at addr f9000000 [ 361.159621] CPU: 2 PID: 749 Comm: crash Not tainted 6.6.15-parisc #1 Debian 6.6.15-2 [ 361.159621] Hardware name: 9000/778/B160L [ 361.159621] [ 361.159621] YZrvWESTHLNXBCVMcbcbcbcbOGFRQPDI [ 361.159621] PSW: 00000000000001000000000000001111 Not tainted [ 361.159621] r00-03 0004000f 00000000 10413c78 142903c0 [ 361.159621] r04-07 14290080 12a08000 fc000000 f9000001 [ 361.159621] r08-11 00000000 0f3dd280 f9099c20 f9096e58 [ 361.159621] r12-15 00011008 0119c228 00000000 00000001 [ 361.159621] r16-19 14290080 00138428 011b4e00 ff000000 [ 361.159621] r20-23 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000011 [ 361.159621] r24-27 00000000 00000000 14290080 110dd848 [ 361.159621] r28-31 f9000000 00000000 14290400 000003c3 [ 361.159621] sr00-03 000003c3 000003c3 00000000 000003c3 [ 361.159621] sr04-07 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [ 361.159621] [ 361.159621] IASQ: 00000000 00000000 IAOQ: 104135ac 104135b0 [ 361.170517] IIR: 0f945280 ISR: 000003c3 IOR: f9000000 [ 361.170517] CPU: 2 CR30: 12a08000 CR31: 00000000 [ 361.170517] ORIG_R28: 12a08000 [ 361.170517] IAOQ[0]: emulate_stw+0x5c/0x94 [ 361.170517] IAOQ[1]: emulate_stw+0x60/0x94 [ 361.170517] RP(r2): handle_unaligned+0x590/0x710 [ 361.170517] Backtrace: [ 361.170517] [<10413c78>] handle_unaligned+0x590/0x710 [ 361.170517] [<10409354>] handle_interruption+0x1dc/0x7b8 [ 361.170517] [<104545d8>] sys_getcpu+0x30/0x74 [ 361.170517] [ 361.170517] Kernel panic - not syncing: Page fault: bad address [ 361.170517] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Page fault: bad address ]--- View: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219339#c0 You can reply to this message to join the discussion. -- Deet-doot-dot, I am a bot.
