ARM: 6005/1: arm: kprobes: fix register corruption with jprobes
Current implementation of jprobes allocates empty pt_regs from the stack which is then passed to kprobe_handler() and eventually to singlestep(). Now when instruction being simulated is STMFD (like in normal function prologues without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER), stores using SP actually write over top of the fabricated pt_regs structure. This can be reproduced for example by using LKDTM module: # modprobe lkdtm # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug # echo PANIC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/INT_HW_IRQ_EN after this, it fails with corrupted registers (before the requested crash would occur): lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 9 rounds lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 8 rounds Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.0/sleep_timeout Modules linked in: lkdtm CPU: 0 Not tainted (2.6.34-rc2 #69) PC is at irq_desc+0x1638/0xeeb0 LR is at 0x25 pc : [<c050b428>] lr : [<00000025>] psr: c80a0013 sp : ce94bd60 ip : c050b3e8 fp : a0000013 r10: c0aa453c r9 : cf5d4000 r8 : ce9a1822 r7 : c050b424 r6 : 00000025 r5 : c039d8f8 r4 : c050b3e8 r3 : 00000001 r2 : cf4d0440 r1 : c039d8f8 r0 : 00000020 Flags: NZcv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment user Control: 10c5387d Table: 8e804019 DAC: 00000015 Process sh (pid: 496, stack limit = 0xce94a2e8) Stack: (0xce94bd60 to 0xce94c000) [...] Code: 000002cd 00000000 00000000 00000001 (dead4ead) ---[ end trace 2b46d5f2b682f370 ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt This patch allocates enough space (2 * sizeof(struct pt_regs)) from the stack to prevent such corruption.
