x86/kprobes: Fix crash when probing CS CALL instructionsgrafted
When using eBPF to probe CS CALL instructions within a function, a crash can be triggered. The eBPF tool probes offset 257 of the __hrtimer_run_queues() function: <__hrtimer_run_queues+249>: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) <__hrtimer_run_queues+254>: mov %r14,%rdi <__hrtimer_run_queues+257>: cs call <__x86_indirect_thunk_r12> <__hrtimer_run_queues+263>: mov %eax,%r12d <__hrtimer_run_queues+266>: xchg %ax,%ax <__hrtimer_run_queues+268>: mov %r13,%rdi Which triggers this crash: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000000f41c9 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Kdump: loaded Tainted: P RIP: 0010:__hrtimer_run_queues+0x106/0x230 Note that __hrtimer_run_queues+0x106 is __hrtimer_run_queues+262, which is at the 6th byte of the above CS CALL instruction. Since the CS CALL instruction occupies 6 bytes, the exception occurred in the middle of that call instruction. The root cause is that when using eBPF tools to probe in the middle of a function, a kprobe with INT3 is used as the underlying implementation. During single-step emulation of the original CALL instruction, int3_emulate_call() assumes that the probed CALL instruction is 5 bytes long. However, the actual CS-prefixed CALL instruction occupies 6 bytes, so it constructs an incorrect exception return address. When the CPU returns from the kprobe handler, the next instruction to be executed is at the address of the last byte of that CS CALL instruction. Coincidentally, starting from that address, the CPU fetches and decodes a completely different instruction, which ultimately triggers a kernel crash. Fix the issue by using the actual instruction length obtained from the instruction decoder when constructing the exception return address, rather than relying on the hardcoded CALL_INSN_SIZE macro.

+What: /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/h1_gpio
+Date: April 2019
+KernelVersion: 5.2
+Description:
+ As part of Chrome OS's FAFT (Fully Automated Firmware Testing)
+ tests, we need to ensure that the H1 chip is properly setting
+ some GPIO lines. The h1_gpio attribute exposes the state
+ of the lines:
+ - ENTRY_TO_FACT_MODE in BIT(0)
+ - SPI_CHROME_SEL in BIT(1)
+
+ Output will formatted with "0x%02x\n".
+
+What: /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+Date: January 2019
+KernelVersion: 5.1
+Description:
+ Write and read raw mailbox commands to the EC.
+
+ You can write a hexadecimal sentence to raw, and that series of
+ bytes will be sent to the EC. Then, you can read the bytes of
+ response by reading from raw.
+
+ For writing, bytes 0-1 indicate the message type, one of enum
+ wilco_ec_msg_type. Byte 2+ consist of the data passed in the
+ request, starting at MBOX[0]. At least three bytes are required
+ for writing, two for the type and at least a single byte of
+ data.
+
+ Example::
+
+ // Request EC info type 3 (EC firmware build date)
+ // Corresponds with sending type 0x00f0 with
+ // MBOX = [38, 00, 03, 00]
+ $ echo 00 f0 38 00 03 00 > /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+ // View the result. The decoded ASCII result "12/21/18" is
+ // included after the raw hex.
+ // Corresponds with MBOX = [00, 00, 31, 32, 2f, 32, 31, 38, ...]
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+ 00 00 31 32 2f 32 31 2f 31 38 00 38 00 01 00 2f 00 ..12/21/18.8...
+
+ Note that the first 16 bytes of the received MBOX[] will be
+ printed, even if some of the data is junk, and skipping bytes
+ 17 to 32. It is up to you to know how many of the first bytes of
+ data are the actual response.
