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.

+======================================
+Macintosh HFSPlus Filesystem for Linux
+======================================
+
+HFSPlus is a filesystem first introduced in MacOS 8.1.
+HFSPlus has several extensions to HFS, including 32-bit allocation
+blocks, 255-character unicode filenames, and file sizes of 2^63 bytes.
+
+
+Mount options
+=============
+
+When mounting an HFSPlus filesystem, the following options are accepted:
+
+ creator=cccc, type=cccc
+ Specifies the creator/type values as shown by the MacOS finder
+ used for creating new files. Default values: '????'.
+
+ uid=n, gid=n
+ Specifies the user/group that owns all files on the filesystem
+ that have uninitialized permissions structures.
+ Default: user/group id of the mounting process.
+
+ umask=n
+ Specifies the umask (in octal) used for files and directories
+ that have uninitialized permissions structures.
+ Default: umask of the mounting process.
+
+ session=n
+ Select the CDROM session to mount as HFSPlus filesystem. Defaults to
+ leaving that decision to the CDROM driver. This option will fail
+ with anything but a CDROM as underlying devices.
+
+ part=n
+ Select partition number n from the devices. This option only makes
+ sense for CDROMs because they can't be partitioned under Linux.
+ For disk devices the generic partition parsing code does this
+ for us. Defaults to not parsing the partition table at all.
+
+ decompose
+ Decompose file name characters.
+
+ nodecompose
+ Do not decompose file name characters.
+
+ force
+ Used to force write access to volumes that are marked as journalled
+ or locked. Use at your own risk.
+
+ nls=cccc
+ Encoding to use when presenting file names.
