Subject: [PATCH 1/2] arm64: fix dump_instr when PAN and UAO are in use
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:15:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465812915-19801-2-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1465812915-19801-1-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com>

If the kernel is set to show unhandled signals, and a user task does not
handle a SIGILL as a result of an instruction abort, we will attempt to
log the offending instruction with dump_instr before killing the task.

We use dump_instr to log the encoding of the offending userspace
instruction. However, dump_instr is also used to dump instructions from
kernel space, and internally always switches to KERNEL_DS before dumping
the instruction with get_user. When both PAN and UAO are in use, reading
a user instruction via get_user while in KERNEL_DS will result in a
permission fault, which leads to an Oops.

As we have regs corresponding to the context of the original instruction
abort, we can inspect this and only flip to KERNEL_DS if the original
abort was taken from the kernel, avoiding this issue. At the same time,
remove the redundant (and incorrect) comments regarding the order
dump_mem and dump_instr are called in.
