It occurs because the hypercall to put characters onto the terminal takes 2 longs (128 bits/16 bytes) of characters at a time, and so hvc_put_chars() would unconditionally copy 16 bytes from the argument buffer, regardless of supplied length. However, udbg_hvc_putc() can call hvc_put_chars() with a single-byte buffer, leading to the error. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in hvc_put_chars+0xdc/0x110 Read of size 8 at addr c0000000023e7a90 by task swapper/0 CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.2.0-rc2-next-20190528-02824-g048a6ab4835b #113 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x104/0x154 (unreliable) print_address_description+0xa0/0x30c __kasan_report+0x20c/0x224 kasan_report+0x18/0x30 __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x24/0x40 hvc_put_chars+0xdc/0x110 hvterm_raw_put_chars+0x9c/0x110 udbg_hvc_putc+0x154/0x200 udbg_write+0xf0/0x240 console_unlock+0x868/0xd30 register_console+0x970/0xe90 register_early_udbg_console+0xf8/0x114 setup_arch+0x108/0x790 start_kernel+0x104/0x784 start_here_common+0x1c/0x534 Memory state around the buggy address: c0000000023e7980: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0000000023e7a00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f1 f1 >c0000000023e7a80: f1 f1 01 f2 f2 f2 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ^ c0000000023e7b00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0000000023e7b80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ================================================================== Document that a 16-byte buffer is requred, and provide it in udbg.
