This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/show_trace_log_lvl: Ensure stack pointer is aligned, again to the 5.15-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: x86-show_trace_log_lvl-ensure-stack-pointer-is-aligned-again.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 2e4be0d011f21593c6b316806779ba1eba2cd7e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vernon Lovejoy <vlovejoy@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 12 May 2023 12:42:32 +0200 Subject: x86/show_trace_log_lvl: Ensure stack pointer is aligned, again From: Vernon Lovejoy <vlovejoy@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2e4be0d011f21593c6b316806779ba1eba2cd7e0 upstream. The commit e335bb51cc15 ("x86/unwind: Ensure stack pointer is aligned") tried to align the stack pointer in show_trace_log_lvl(), otherwise the "stack < stack_info.end" check can't guarantee that the last read does not go past the end of the stack. However, we have the same problem with the initial value of the stack pointer, it can also be unaligned. So without this patch this trivial kernel module #include <linux/module.h> static int init(void) { asm volatile("sub $0x4,%rsp"); dump_stack(); asm volatile("add $0x4,%rsp"); return -EAGAIN; } module_init(init); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); crashes the kernel.
