Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 3/5] ftrace: Do not blindly read the ip address in ftrace_bug()
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2021 20:33:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210610003736.400332514@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20210610003344.783752614@goodmis.org
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
It was reported that a bug on arm64 caused a bad ip address to be used for
updating into a nop in ftrace_init(), but the error path (rightfully)
returned -EINVAL and not -EFAULT, as the bug caused more than one error to
occur. But because -EINVAL was returned, the ftrace_bug() tried to report
what was at the location of the ip address, and read it directly. This
caused the machine to panic, as the ip was not pointing to a valid memory
address.
Instead, read the ip address with copy_from_kernel_nofault() to safely
access the memory, and if it faults, report that the address faulted,
otherwise report what was in that location.
