Subject: ftrace/x86: Fix triple fault with graph tracing and suspend-to-ram
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 34a477e5297cbaa6ecc6e17c042a866e1cbe80d6 upstream.
On x86-32, with CONFIG_FIRMWARE and multiple CPUs, if you enable function
graph tracing and then suspend to RAM, it will triple fault and reboot when
it resumes.
The first fault happens when booting a secondary CPU:
startup_32_smp()
load_ucode_ap()
prepare_ftrace_return()
ftrace_graph_is_dead()
(accesses 'kill_ftrace_graph')
The early head_32.S code calls into load_ucode_ap(), which has an an
ftrace hook, so it calls prepare_ftrace_return(), which calls
ftrace_graph_is_dead(), which tries to access the global
'kill_ftrace_graph' variable with a virtual address, causing a fault
because the CPU is still in real mode.
The fix is to add a check in prepare_ftrace_return() to make sure it's
running in protected mode before continuing. The check makes sure the
stack pointer is a virtual kernel address. It's a bit of a hack, but
it's not very intrusive and it works well enough.
For reference, here are a few other (more difficult) ways this could
have potentially been fixed:
- Move startup_32_smp()'s call to load_ucode_ap() down to *after* paging
is enabled. (No idea what that would break.)
- Track down load_ucode_ap()'s entire callee tree and mark all the
functions 'notrace'. (Probably not realistic.)
- Pause graph tracing in ftrace_suspend_notifier_call() or bringup_cpu()
or __cpu_up(), and ensure that the pause facility can be queried from
real mode.
