This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled arm64: Prohibit instrumentation on arch_stack_walk() to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm64-prohibit-instrumentation-on-arch_stack_walk.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 0fbcd8abf3375052cc7627cc53aba6f2eb189fbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2022 11:18:33 +0900 Subject: arm64: Prohibit instrumentation on arch_stack_walk() From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0fbcd8abf3375052cc7627cc53aba6f2eb189fbb upstream. Mark arch_stack_walk() as noinstr instead of notrace and inline functions called from arch_stack_walk() as __always_inline so that user does not put any instrumentations on it, because this function can be used from return_address() which is used by lockdep. Without this, if the kernel built with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y, just probing arch_stack_walk() via <tracefs>/kprobe_events will crash the kernel on arm64. # echo p arch_stack_walk >> ${TRACEFS}/kprobe_events # echo 1 > ${TRACEFS}/events/kprobes/enable kprobes: Failed to recover from reentered kprobes. kprobes: Dump kprobe: .symbol_name = arch_stack_walk, .offset = 0, .addr = arch_stack_walk+0x0/0x1c0 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/arm64/kernel/probes/kprobes.c:241! kprobes: Failed to recover from reentered kprobes. kprobes: Dump kprobe: .symbol_name = arch_stack_walk, .offset = 0, .addr = arch_stack_walk+0x0/0x1c0 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/arm64/kernel/probes/kprobes.c:241!
