From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e361362b08cab1098b64b0e5fd8c879f086b3f46 upstream. Cyrill reported the following crash: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000001ff0 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode RIP: 0010:get_stack_info+0xb3/0x148 It turns out that if the stack tracer is invoked before the exception stack mappings are initialized in_exception_stack() can erroneously classify an invalid address as an address inside of an exception stack: begin = this_cpu_read(cea_exception_stacks); <- 0 end = begin + sizeof(exception stacks); i.e. any address between 0 and end will be considered as exception stack address and the subsequent code will then try to derefence the resulting stack frame at a non mapped address. end = begin + (unsigned long)ep->size; ==> end = 0x2000 regs = (struct pt_regs *)end - 1; ==> regs = 0x2000 - sizeof(struct pt_regs *) = 0x1ff0 info->next_sp = (unsigned long *)regs->sp; ==> Crashes due to accessing 0x1ff0 Prevent this by checking the validity of the cea_exception_stack base address and bailing out if it is zero.
