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.

+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ This directory contains list of directories of currently
+ supported mediated device types and their details for
+ <device>. Supported type attributes are defined by the
+ vendor driver who registers with Mediated device framework.
+ Each supported type is a directory whose name is created
+ by adding the device driver string as a prefix to the
+ string provided by the vendor driver.

+What: /sys/.../<device>/mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ This directory gives details of supported type, like name,
+ description, available_instances, device_api etc.
+ 'device_api' and 'available_instances' are mandatory
+ attributes to be provided by vendor driver. 'name',
+ 'description' and other vendor driver specific attributes
+ are optional.

+ Writing UUID to this file will create mediated device of
+ type <type-id> for parent device <device>. This is a
+ write-only file.
+ For example::
+
+ # echo "83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001" > \
