From: Laurent Dufour <ldufour@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 05af40e885955065aee8bb7425058eb3e1adca08 upstream. This commit fixes a stack corruption in the pseries specific code dealing with the huge pages. In __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() the buffer used to pass arguments to the hypervisor is not large enough. This leads to a stack corruption where a previously saved register could be corrupted leading to unexpected result in the caller, like the following panic: Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries Modules linked in: virtio_balloon ip_tables x_tables autofs4 virtio_blk 8139too virtio_pci virtio_ring 8139cp virtio CPU: 11 PID: 1916 Comm: mmstress Not tainted 4.8.0 #76 task: c000000005394880 task.stack: c000000005570000 NIP: c00000000027bf6c LR: c00000000027bf64 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c000000005573820 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (4.8.0) MSR: 8000000000009033 <SF,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 84822884 XER: 20000000 CFAR: c00000000010a924 DAR: 420000000014e5e0 DSISR: 40000000 SOFTE: 1 GPR00: c00000000027bf64 c000000005573aa0 c000000000e02800 c000000004447964 GPR04: c00000000404de18 c000000004d38810 00000000042100f5 00000000f5002104 GPR08: e0000000f5002104 0000000000000001 042100f5000000e0 00000000042100f5 GPR12: 0000000000002200 c00000000fe02c00 c00000000404de18 0000000000000000 GPR16: c1ffffffffffe7ff 00003fff62000000 420000000014e5e0 00003fff63000000 GPR20: 0008000000000000 c0000000f7014800 0405e600000000e0 0000000000010000 GPR24: c000000004d38810 c000000004447c10 c00000000404de18 c000000004447964 GPR28: c000000005573b10 c000000004d38810 00003fff62000000 420000000014e5e0 NIP [c00000000027bf6c] zap_huge_pmd+0x4c/0x470 LR [c00000000027bf64] zap_huge_pmd+0x44/0x470 Call Trace: [c000000005573aa0] [c00000000027bf64] zap_huge_pmd+0x44/0x470 (unreliable) [c000000005573af0] [c00000000022bbd8] unmap_page_range+0xcf8/0xed0 [c000000005573c30] [c00000000022c2d4] unmap_vmas+0x84/0x120 [c000000005573c80] [c000000000235448] unmap_region+0xd8/0x1b0 [c000000005573d80] [c0000000002378f0] do_munmap+0x2d0/0x4c0 [c000000005573df0] [c000000000237be4] SyS_munmap+0x64/0xb0 [c000000005573e30] [c000000000009560] system_call+0x38/0x108 Instruction dump: fbe1fff8 fb81ffe0 7c7f1b78 7ca32b78 7cbd2b78 f8010010 7c9a2378 f821ffb1 7cde3378 4bfffea9 7c7b1b79 41820298 <e87f0000> 48000130 7fa5eb78 7fc4f378 Most of the time, the bug is surfacing in a caller up in the stack from __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() which is quite confusing. This bug is pending since v3.11 but was hidden if a caller of the caller of __pSeries_lpar_hugepage_invalidate() has pushed the corruped register (r18 in this case) in the stack and is not using it until restoring it. GCC 6.2.0 seems to raise it more frequently. This commit also change the definition of the parameter buffer in pSeries_lpar_flush_hash_range() to rely on the global define PLPAR_HCALL9_BUFSIZE (no functional change here).
