Subject: [PATCH] tracing/fprobe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in fprobe_fgraph_entry()
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 18:44:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619184425.3824774-1-rhkrqnwk98@gmail.com> (raw)
fprobe_fgraph_entry() sizes a shadow-stack reservation in one walk of
the per-ip fprobe list and fills it in a second walk, both under
rcu_read_lock() only. A fprobe registered on an already-live ip can
become visible between the two walks, so the fill walk processes an
exit_handler the sizing walk did not count and used runs past
reserved_words. If the sizing walk counted nothing, fgraph_data is NULL
and the first write_fprobe_header() faults:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address ...
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
RIP: 0010:fprobe_fgraph_entry+0xa38/0xf10 kernel/trace/fprobe.c:167

</TASK>
The list cannot be frozen across the two walks, so skip a node that does
not fit the reservation and count it as missed.
