This one, if I'm not mistaken. --- commit ae31fe51a3cceaa0cabdb3058f69669ecb47f12e Author: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 22 10:57:42 2016 +0100 perf/x86: Restore TASK_SIZE check on frame pointer The following commit: 75925e1ad7f5 ("perf/x86: Optimize stack walk user accesses") ... switched from copy_from_user_nmi() to __copy_from_user_nmi() with a manual access_ok() check. Unfortunately, copy_from_user_nmi() does an explicit check against TASK_SIZE, whereas the access_ok() uses whatever the current address limit of the task is. We are getting NMIs when __probe_kernel_read() has switched to KERNEL_DS, and then see vmalloc faults when we access what looks like pointers into vmalloc space: [] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3685731 at arch/x86/mm/fault.c:435 vmalloc_fault+0x289/0x290 [] CPU: 3 PID: 3685731 Comm: sh Tainted: G W 4.6.0-5_fbk1_223_gdbf0f40 #1 [] Call Trace: [] <NMI> [<ffffffff814717d1>] dump_stack+0x4d/0x6c [] [<ffffffff81076e43>] __warn+0xd3/0xf0 [] [<ffffffff81076f2d>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 [] [<ffffffff8104a899>] vmalloc_fault+0x289/0x290 [] [<ffffffff8104b5a0>] __do_page_fault+0x330/0x490 [] [<ffffffff8104b70c>] do_page_fault+0xc/0x10 [] [<ffffffff81794e82>] page_fault+0x22/0x30 [] [<ffffffff81006280>] ? perf_callchain_user+0x100/0x2a0 [] [<ffffffff8115124f>] get_perf_callchain+0x17f/0x190 [] [<ffffffff811512c7>] perf_callchain+0x67/0x80 [] [<ffffffff8114e750>] perf_prepare_sample+0x2a0/0x370 [] [<ffffffff8114e840>] perf_event_output+0x20/0x60 [] [<ffffffff8114aee7>] ? perf_event_update_userpage+0xc7/0x130 [] [<ffffffff8114ea01>] __perf_event_overflow+0x181/0x1d0 [] [<ffffffff8114f484>] perf_event_overflow+0x14/0x20 [] [<ffffffff8100a6e3>] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x1d3/0x490 [] [<ffffffff8147daf7>] ? copy_user_enhanced_fast_string+0x7/0x10 [] [<ffffffff81197191>] ? vunmap_page_range+0x1a1/0x2f0 [] [<ffffffff811972f1>] ? unmap_kernel_range_noflush+0x11/0x20 [] [<ffffffff814f2056>] ? ghes_copy_tofrom_phys+0x116/0x1f0 [] [<ffffffff81040d1d>] ? x2apic_send_IPI_self+0x1d/0x20 [] [<ffffffff8100411d>] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x2d/0x50 [] [<ffffffff8101ea31>] nmi_handle+0x61/0x110 [] [<ffffffff8101ef94>] default_do_nmi+0x44/0x110 [] [<ffffffff8101f13b>] do_nmi+0xdb/0x150 [] [<ffffffff81795187>] end_repeat_nmi+0x1a/0x1e [] [<ffffffff8147daf7>] ? copy_user_enhanced_fast_string+0x7/0x10 [] [<ffffffff8147daf7>] ? copy_user_enhanced_fast_string+0x7/0x10 [] [<ffffffff8147daf7>] ? copy_user_enhanced_fast_string+0x7/0x10 [] <<EOE>> <IRQ> [<ffffffff8115d05e>] ? __probe_kernel_read+0x3e/0xa0 Fix this by moving the valid_user_frame() check to before the uaccess that loads the return address and the pointer to the next frame.
