Subject: [PATCH 3/3] lib/crypto: x86/sha512: Follow the normal %rbp convention
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2026 15:48:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261011134843.166585-4-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261011134843.166585-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
The SHA-512 assembly functions push callee-save GPRs to the stack
*before* they set up the frame pointer (%rbp). (They are leaf
functions, but they need to set up a frame pointer anyway because they
allocate a 32-byte-aligned buffer on the stack.)
As a result, during these functions, 8(%rbp) doesn't contain a return
address like it is supposed to.
This differs from the convention used by C code, and it interferes with
the frame pointer unwinder (CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER=y).
Specifically, if a call trace is dumped in these functions, then all
entries are populated purely from the fallback scan of the entire stack:
RIP: 0010:sha512_transform_rorx+0x673/0xdf0
[...]
Call Trace:
<TASK>
? sha512_blocks_avx2+0x37/0x60
? __sha512_update+0x80/0x230
? sha512+0x31/0x190
? sha512+0x114/0x190
[...]
? do_syscall_64+0x6f/0x3e0
With this fix to follow the normal %rbp convention, the call trace is
generated reliably:
RIP: 0010:sha512_transform_rorx+0x90c/0xdf0
[...]
Call Trace:
<TASK>
sha512_blocks_avx2+0x37/0x60
__sha512_update+0x80/0x230
sha512+0x114/0x190
[...]
do_syscall_64+0x6f/0x3e0
