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.

+MPLS Sysfs variables
+====================
+
+/proc/sys/net/mpls/* Variables:
+===============================
+
+platform_labels - INTEGER
+ Number of entries in the platform label table. It is not
+ possible to configure forwarding for label values equal to or
+ greater than the number of platform labels.
+
+ A dense utilization of the entries in the platform label table
+ is possible and expected as the platform labels are locally
+ allocated.
+
+ If the number of platform label table entries is set to 0 no
+ label will be recognized by the kernel and mpls forwarding
+ will be disabled.
+
+ Reducing this value will remove all label routing entries that
+ no longer fit in the table.
+
+ Possible values: 0 - 1048575
+
+ Default: 0
+
+ip_ttl_propagate - BOOL
+ Control whether TTL is propagated from the IPv4/IPv6 header to
+ the MPLS header on imposing labels and propagated from the
+ MPLS header to the IPv4/IPv6 header on popping the last label.
+
+ If disabled, the MPLS transport network will appear as a
+ single hop to transit traffic.
+
+ * 0 - disabled / RFC 3443 [Short] Pipe Model
+ * 1 - enabled / RFC 3443 Uniform Model (default)
+
+default_ttl - INTEGER
+ Default TTL value to use for MPLS packets where it cannot be
+ propagated from an IP header, either because one isn't present
+ or ip_ttl_propagate has been disabled.
+
+ Possible values: 1 - 255
+
+ Default: 255
+
+conf/<interface>/input - BOOL
+ Control whether packets can be input on this interface.
+
+ If disabled, packets will be discarded without further
+ processing.
+
+ * 0 - disabled (default)
+ * not 0 - enabled
