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.

+========================================
+Writing Device Drivers for Zorro Devices
+========================================
+
+:Author: Written by Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>
+:Last revised: September 5, 2003
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The Zorro bus is the bus used in the Amiga family of computers. Thanks to
+AutoConfig(tm), it's 100% Plug-and-Play.
+
+There are two types of Zorro buses, Zorro II and Zorro III:
+
+ - The Zorro II address space is 24-bit and lies within the first 16 MB of the
+ Amiga's address map.
+
+ - Zorro III is a 32-bit extension of Zorro II, which is backwards compatible
+ with Zorro II. The Zorro III address space lies outside the first 16 MB.
+
+
+Probing for Zorro Devices
+-------------------------
+
+Zorro devices are found by calling ``zorro_find_device()``, which returns a
+pointer to the ``next`` Zorro device with the specified Zorro ID. A probe loop
+for the board with Zorro ID ``ZORRO_PROD_xxx`` looks like::
+
+ struct zorro_dev *z = NULL;
+
+ while ((z = zorro_find_device(ZORRO_PROD_xxx, z))) {
+ if (!zorro_request_region(z->resource.start+MY_START, MY_SIZE,
+ "My explanation"))
+ ...
+ }
+
+``ZORRO_WILDCARD`` acts as a wildcard and finds any Zorro device. If your driver
+supports different types of boards, you can use a construct like::
+
+ struct zorro_dev *z = NULL;
+
+ while ((z = zorro_find_device(ZORRO_WILDCARD, z))) {
+ if (z->id != ZORRO_PROD_xxx1 && z->id != ZORRO_PROD_xxx2 && ...)
+ continue;
+ if (!zorro_request_region(z->resource.start+MY_START, MY_SIZE,
+ "My explanation"))
+ ...
+ }
+
+
+Zorro Resources
+---------------
+
+Before you can access a Zorro device's registers, you have to make sure it's
+not yet in use. This is done using the I/O memory space resource management
+functions::
+
+ request_mem_region()
+ release_mem_region()
+
+Shortcuts to claim the whole device's address space are provided as well::
+
+ zorro_request_device
+ zorro_release_device
+
+
+Accessing the Zorro Address Space
+---------------------------------
+
+The address regions in the Zorro device resources are Zorro bus address
+regions. Due to the identity bus-physical address mapping on the Zorro bus,
+they are CPU physical addresses as well.
+
+The treatment of these regions depends on the type of Zorro space:
+
+ - Zorro II address space is always mapped and does not have to be mapped
+ explicitly using z_ioremap().
+
+ Conversion from bus/physical Zorro II addresses to kernel virtual addresses
+ and vice versa is done using::
+
+ virt_addr = ZTWO_VADDR(bus_addr);
+ bus_addr = ZTWO_PADDR(virt_addr);
+
+ - Zorro III address space must be mapped explicitly using z_ioremap() first
+ before it can be accessed::
+
+ virt_addr = z_ioremap(bus_addr, size);
+ ...
+ z_iounmap(virt_addr);
