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.

+Description: read only
+ Space separated list of flash faults that may have occurred.
+ Flash faults are re-read after strobing the flash. Possible
+ flash faults:
+
+ * led-over-voltage
+ flash controller voltage to the flash LED
+ has exceeded the limit specific to the flash controller
+ * flash-timeout-exceeded
+ the flash strobe was still on when
+ the timeout set by the user has expired; not all flash
+ controllers may set this in all such conditions
+ * controller-over-temperature
+ the flash controller has
+ overheated
+ * controller-short-circuit
+ the short circuit protection
+ of the flash controller has been triggered
+ * led-power-supply-over-current
+ current in the LED power
+ supply has exceeded the limit specific to the flash
+ controller
+ * indicator-led-fault
+ the flash controller has detected
+ a short or open circuit condition on the indicator LED
+ * led-under-voltage
+ flash controller voltage to the flash
+ LED has been below the minimum limit specific to
+ the flash
+ * controller-under-voltage
+ the input voltage of the flash
+ controller is below the limit under which strobing the
+ flash at full current will not be possible;
+ the condition persists until this flag is no longer set
+ * led-over-temperature
+ the temperature of the LED has exceeded
+ its allowed upper limit
