If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andrea Parri commit 99b6fcce87037cfb6b5e177848342e97f5141205 upstream. KCSAN's skip_watch, udelay_task and udelay_interrupt parameters can be changed at runtime through /sys/module/kcsan/parameters/, where 0 means watching every access or not delaying at all. With the default CONFIG_KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH_RANDOMIZE=y and CONFIG_KCSAN_DELAY_RANDOMIZE=y, writing 0 to any of them makes the next watchpoint setup divide by zero: # echo 0 > /sys/module/kcsan/parameters/udelay_task Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 93 Comm: sh Not tainted 7.3.0-rc5 #3 PREEMPT(lazy) RIP: 0010:kcsan_setup_watchpoint+0x1b5/0x410 Code: ... 65 89 05 ad 8d 98 02 d3 ee f6 29 d7 e8 22 0e 0f 01 ...

BUG: TASK stack guard page was hit at ffffd3ab001fbfe8 (...) reset_kcsan_skip() and delay_access() pass these values unchecked to kcsan_prandom_u32_max(), which returns "state % ep_ro". delay_access() halves the delay for compound and assert accesses, so udelay_interrupt=1 is enough there. The oops path runs instrumented code, which faults again until the stack overflows. With skip_watch=0 the guest hangs without printing anything. The division came in with commit 71a076f4a61a ("kcsan: Rewrite kcsan_prandom_u32_max() without prandom_u32_state()"). Before it, the helper scaled the random value with a multiply-shift, which yields 0 for ep_ro == 0. Go back to that via reciprocal_scale(). Tested in an x86-64 KCSAN guest with virtme-ng: after this patch, writing 0 to each parameter, or 1 to udelay_interrupt, no longer oopses. skip_watch=0 now watches every access, which is very slow with the default delays but completes when they are set to 0.
