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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +.. _cpumasks-header-label: + +================== +BPF cpumask kfuncs +================== + +1. Introduction +=============== + +``struct cpumask`` is a bitmap data structure in the kernel whose indices +reflect the CPUs on the system. Commonly, cpumasks are used to track which CPUs +a task is affinitized to, but they can also be used to e.g. track which cores +are associated with a scheduling domain, which cores on a machine are idle, +etc. + +BPF provides programs with a set of :ref:`kfuncs-header-label` that can be +used to allocate, mutate, query, and free cpumasks. + +2. BPF cpumask objects +====================== + +There are two different types of cpumasks that can be used by BPF programs. + +2.1 ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` +---------------------------- + +``struct bpf_cpumask *`` is a cpumask that is allocated by BPF, on behalf of a +BPF program, and whose lifecycle is entirely controlled by BPF. These cpumasks +are RCU-protected, can be mutated, can be used as kptrs, and can be safely cast +to a ``struct cpumask *``. + +2.1.1 ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` lifecycle +---------------------------------------- + +A ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` is allocated, acquired, and released, using the +following functions: + +.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c + :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_create + +.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c + :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_acquire + +.. kernel-doc:: kernel/bpf/cpumask.c + :identifiers: bpf_cpumask_release + +For example: + +.. code-block:: c + + struct cpumask_map_value { + struct bpf_cpumask __kptr * cpumask; + }; + + struct array_map { + __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY); + __type(key, int); + __type(value, struct cpumask_map_value); + __uint(max_entries, 65536); + } cpumask_map SEC(".maps"); + + static int cpumask_map_insert(struct bpf_cpumask *mask, u32 pid) + { + struct cpumask_map_value local, *v; + long status; + struct bpf_cpumask *old; + u32 key = pid; + + local.cpumask = NULL; + status = bpf_map_update_elem(&cpumask_map, &key, &local, 0); + if (status) { + bpf_cpumask_release(mask); + return status; + } + + v = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&cpumask_map, &key); + if (!v) { + bpf_cpumask_release(mask); + return -ENOENT; + } + + old = bpf_kptr_xchg(&v->cpumask, mask); + if (old) + bpf_cpumask_release(old); + + return 0; + } + + /** + * A sample tracepoint showing how a task's cpumask can be queried and + * recorded as a kptr. + */ + SEC("tp_btf/task_newtask") + int BPF_PROG(record_task_cpumask, struct task_struct *task, u64 clone_flags) + { + struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask; + int ret; + + cpumask = bpf_cpumask_create(); + if (!cpumask) + return -ENOMEM; + + if (!bpf_cpumask_full(task->cpus_ptr)) + bpf_printk("task %s has CPU affinity", task->comm); + + bpf_cpumask_copy(cpumask, task->cpus_ptr); + return cpumask_map_insert(cpumask, task->pid); + } + +---- + +2.1.1 ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` as kptrs +--------------------------------------- + +As mentioned and illustrated above, these ``struct bpf_cpumask *`` objects can +also be stored in a map and used as kptrs.
