[PATCH 2/2] timekeeping: Cap array access in timekeeping_debug to protect against invalid sleep times

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It was reported that hibernation could fail on the 2nd attempt,
where the system hangs at hibernate() -> syscore_resume() ->
i8237A_resume() -> claim_dma_lock(), because the lock has
already been taken.

However there is actually no other process would like to grab
this lock on that problematic platform.

Further investigation showed that the problem is triggered by
setting /sys/power/pm_trace to 1 before the 1st hibernation.

Since once pm_trace is enabled, the rtc becomes unmeaningful
after suspend, and meanwhile some BIOSes would like to adjust
the 'invalid' tsc(e.g, smaller than 1970) to the release date
of that motherboard during POST stage, thus after resumed, it
may seem that the system had a significant long sleep time might
due to meaningless tsc or RTC delta.

Then in timekeeping_resume -> tk_debug_account_sleep_time, if
the bit31 of the sleep time happened to be set to 1, the fls
returns 32 and then we add 1 to sleep_time_bin[32], which
caused a memory overwritten.

As depicted by System.map:
0xffffffff81c9d080 b sleep_time_bin
0xffffffff81c9d100 B dma_spin_lock
the dma_spin_lock.val is set to 1, which caused this problem.

This patch adds a sanity check in tk_debug_account_sleep_time()
to ensure we don't index past the sleep_time_bin array.
