The patch titled Subject: ia64: module: fix symbolizer crash on fdescr has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ia64-module-fix-symbolizer-crash-on-fdescr.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/ia64-module-fix-symbolizer-crash-on-fdescr.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/ia64-module-fix-symbolizer-crash-on-fdescr.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ia64: module: fix symbolizer crash on fdescr Noticed failure as a crash on ia64 when tried to symbolize all backtraces collected by page_owner=on: $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner <oops> CPU: 1 PID: 2074 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.12.0-rc4 #226 Hardware name: hp server rx3600, BIOS 04.03 04/08/2008 ip is at dereference_module_function_descriptor+0x41/0x100 Crash happens at dereference_module_function_descriptor() due to use-after-free when dereferencing ".opd" section header. All section headers are already freed after module is laoded successfully. To keep symbolizer working the change stores ".opd" address and size after module is relocated to a new place and before section headers are discarded. To make similar errors less obscure module_finalize() now zeroes out all variables relevant to module loading only.
