[PATCH -tip v9 14/14] x86/kprobes: Fixup return address in generic trampoline handler

Masami Hiramatsu
2021-07-11T13:37:06Z

In x86, the fake return address on the stack saved by
__kretprobe_trampoline() will be replaced with the real return
address after returning from trampoline_handler(). Before fixing
the return address, the real return address can be found in the
'current->kretprobe_instances'.

However, since there is a window between updating the
'current->kretprobe_instances' and fixing the address on the stack,
if an interrupt happens at that timing and the interrupt handler
does stacktrace, it may fail to unwind because it can not get
the correct return address from 'current->kretprobe_instances'.

This will eliminate that window by fixing the return address
right before updating 'current->kretprobe_instances'.

Changes in v9:
- Fixes the changelog. This can eliminate the window.
- Add more comment how it works.
Changes in v7:
- Add a prototype for arch_kretprobe_fixup_return()
