[PATCH 5.3 069/193] x86/dumpstack/64: Dont evaluate exception stacks before setup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
