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.

+===============================
+Linux USB Printer Gadget Driver
+===============================
+
+06/04/2007
+
+Copyright (C) 2007 Craig W. Nadler <craig@nadler.us>
+
+
+
+General
+=======
+
+This driver may be used if you are writing printer firmware using Linux as
+the embedded OS. This driver has nothing to do with using a printer with
+your Linux host system.
+
+You will need a USB device controller and a Linux driver for it that accepts
+a gadget / "device class" driver using the Linux USB Gadget API. After the
+USB device controller driver is loaded then load the printer gadget driver.
+This will present a printer interface to the USB Host that your USB Device
+port is connected to.
+
+This driver is structured for printer firmware that runs in user mode. The
+user mode printer firmware will read and write data from the kernel mode
+printer gadget driver using a device file. The printer returns a printer status
+byte when the USB HOST sends a device request to get the printer status. The
+user space firmware can read or write this status byte using a device file
+/dev/g_printer . Both blocking and non-blocking read/write calls are supported.
+
+
+
+
+Howto Use This Driver
+=====================
+
+To load the USB device controller driver and the printer gadget driver. The
+following example uses the Netchip 2280 USB device controller driver::
+
+ modprobe net2280
+ modprobe g_printer
+
+
+The follow command line parameter can be used when loading the printer gadget
+(ex: modprobe g_printer idVendor=0x0525 idProduct=0xa4a8 ):
+
+idVendor
+ This is the Vendor ID used in the device descriptor. The default is
+ the Netchip vendor id 0x0525. YOU MUST CHANGE TO YOUR OWN VENDOR ID
+ BEFORE RELEASING A PRODUCT. If you plan to release a product and don't
+ already have a Vendor ID please see www.usb.org for details on how to
+ get one.
+
+idProduct
+ This is the Product ID used in the device descriptor. The default
+ is 0xa4a8, you should change this to an ID that's not used by any of
+ your other USB products if you have any. It would be a good idea to
+ start numbering your products starting with say 0x0001.
+
+bcdDevice
+ This is the version number of your product. It would be a good idea
+ to put your firmware version here.
+
+iManufacturer
+ A string containing the name of the Vendor.
+
+iProduct
+ A string containing the Product Name.
+
+iSerialNum
+ A string containing the Serial Number. This should be changed for
+ each unit of your product.
+
+iPNPstring
+ The PNP ID string used for this printer. You will want to set
+ either on the command line or hard code the PNP ID string used for
+ your printer product.
+
+qlen
+ The number of 8k buffers to use per endpoint. The default is 10, you
+ should tune this for your product. You may also want to tune the
+ size of each buffer for your product.
+
+
+
+
+Using The Example Code
+======================
+
+This example code talks to stdout, instead of a print engine.
+
+To compile the test code below:
+
+1) save it to a file called prn_example.c
+2) compile the code with the follow command::
+
+ gcc prn_example.c -o prn_example
+
+
+
+To read printer data from the host to stdout::
+
+ # prn_example -read_data
+
+
+To write printer data from a file (data_file) to the host::
+
+ # cat data_file | prn_example -write_data
+
+
+To get the current printer status for the gadget driver:::
+
+ # prn_example -get_status
+
+ Printer status is:
+ Printer is NOT Selected
+ Paper is Out
+ Printer OK
+
+
+To set printer to Selected/On-line::
+
+ # prn_example -selected
+
+
+To set printer to Not Selected/Off-line::
+
+ # prn_example -not_selected
+
+
+To set paper status to paper out::
+
+ # prn_example -paper_out
+
+
+To set paper status to paper loaded::
+
+ # prn_example -paper_loaded
+
+
+To set error status to printer OK::
+
+ # prn_example -no_error
+
+
+To set error status to ERROR::
+
+ # prn_example -error
+
+
+
