Fix to avoid kretprobe recursion loop by setting a dummy kprobes to current_kprobe per-cpu variable. This bug has been introduced with the asm-coded trampoline code, since previously it used another kprobe for hooking the function return placeholder (which only has a nop) and trampoline handler was called from that kprobe. This revives the old lost kprobe again. With this fix, we don't see deadlock anymore. # echo "r:event_1 __fdget" >> kprobe_events # echo "r:event_2 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave" >> kprobe_events # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable And you can see that all inner-called kretprobe are skipped. # cat kprobe_profile event_1 235 0 event_2 19375 19612 The 1st column is recorded count and the 2nd is missed count. Above shows (event_1 rec) + (event_2 rec) ~= (event_2 missed) (some difference are here because the counter is racy) Fixes: c9becf58d935 ("[PATCH] kretprobe: kretprobe-booster") Reported-by: Andrea Righi <righi.andrea@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Andrea Righi <righi.andrea@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/core.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/core.c b/arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/core.c index 18fbe9be2d68..fed46ddb1eef 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/core.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/core.c @@ -749,11 +749,16 @@ asm( NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(kretprobe_trampoline); STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD(kretprobe_trampoline); +static struct kprobe kretprobe_kprobe = { + .addr = (void *)kretprobe_trampoline, +}; + /* * Called from kretprobe_trampoline */ static __used void *trampoline_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) { + struct kprobe_ctlblk *kcb; struct kretprobe_instance *ri = NULL; struct hlist_head *head, empty_rp; struct hlist_node *tmp; @@ -763,6 +768,17 @@ static __used void *trampoline_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) void *frame_pointer; bool skipped = false; + preempt_disable(); + + /* + * Set a dummy kprobe for avoiding kretprobe recursion. + * Since kretprobe never run in kprobe handler, kprobe must not + * be running at this point. + */ + kcb = get_kprobe_ctlblk(); + __this_cpu_write(current_kprobe, &kretprobe_kprobe); + kcb->kprobe_status = KPROBE_HIT_ACTIVE; + INIT_HLIST_HEAD(&empty_rp); kretprobe_hash_lock(current, &head, &flags); /* fixup registers */ @@ -838,10 +854,9 @@ static __used void *trampoline_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) orig_ret_address = (unsigned long)ri->ret_addr; if (ri->rp && ri->rp->handler) { __this_cpu_write(current_kprobe, &ri->rp->kp); - get_kprobe_ctlblk()->kprobe_status = KPROBE_HIT_ACTIVE; ri->ret_addr = correct_ret_addr; ri->rp->handler(ri, regs); - __this_cpu_write(current_kprobe, NULL); + __this_cpu_write(current_kprobe, &kretprobe_kprobe); } recycle_rp_inst(ri, &empty_rp); @@ -857,6 +872,9 @@ static __used void *trampoline_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) kretprobe_hash_unlock(current, &flags); + __this_cpu_write(current_kprobe, NULL); + preempt_enable(); + hlist_for_each_entry_safe(ri, tmp, &empty_rp, hlist) { hlist_del(&ri->hlist); kfree(ri);
