Subject: [PATCH 1/5] powerpc/kprobes: Fix validation of prefixed instructions across page boundary
Date: Wed, 19 May 2021 16:17:17 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0df9a032a05576a2fa8e97d1b769af2ff0eafbd6.1621416666.git.naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1621416666.git.naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When checking if the probed instruction is the suffix of a prefixed
instruction, we access the instruction at the previous word. If the
probed instruction is the very first word of a module, we can end up
trying to access an invalid page. Fix this by skipping the check for all
instructions at the beginning of a page. Prefixed instructions cannot
cross a 64-byte boundary and as such, preventing probing on such
instructions is not worthwhile.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.8+
Fixes: b4657f7650babc ("powerpc/kprobes: Don't allow breakpoints on suffixes")
