Subject: [PATCH] arm: check stack pointer in get_wchan
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2013 16:19:07 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131115121907.4707.82671.stgit@buzz> (raw)

get_wchan() is lockless. Task may wakeup at any time and change its own stack,
thus each next stack frame may be overwritten and filled with random stuff.

/proc/$pid/stack interface had been disabled for non-current tasks, see [1]
But 'wchan' still allows to trigger stack frame unwinding on volatile stack.

This patch fixes oops in unwind_frame() by adding stack pointer validation on
each step (as x86 code do), unwind_frame() already checks frame pointer.

Also I've found another report of this oops on stackoverflow (irony).
