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.

+mtouchusb driver
+================
+
+Changes
+=======
+
+- 0.3 - Created based off of scanner & INSTALL from the original touchscreen
+ driver on freecode (http://freecode.com/projects/3mtouchscreendriver)
+- Amended for linux-2.4.18, then 2.4.19
+
+- 0.5 - Complete rewrite using Linux Input in 2.6.3
+ Unfortunately no calibration support at this time
+
+- 1.4 - Multiple changes to support the EXII 5000UC and house cleaning
+ Changed reset from standard USB dev reset to vendor reset
+ Changed data sent to host from compensated to raw coordinates
+ Eliminated vendor/product module params
+ Performed multiple successful tests with an EXII-5010UC
+
+Supported Hardware
+==================
+
+::
+
+ All controllers have the Vendor: 0x0596 & Product: 0x0001
+
+
+ Controller Description Part Number
+ ------------------------------------------------------
+
+ USB Capacitive - Pearl Case 14-205 (Discontinued)
+ USB Capacitive - Black Case 14-124 (Discontinued)
+ USB Capacitive - No Case 14-206 (Discontinued)
+
+ USB Capacitive - Pearl Case EXII-5010UC
+ USB Capacitive - Black Case EXII-5030UC
+ USB Capacitive - No Case EXII-5050UC

+Driver Notes
+============
+
+Installation is simple, you only need to add Linux Input, Linux USB, and the
+driver to the kernel. The driver can also be optionally built as a module.
+
+This driver appears to be one of possible 2 Linux USB Input Touchscreen
+drivers. Although 3M produces a binary only driver available for
+download, I persist in updating this driver since I would like to use the
+touchscreen for embedded apps using QTEmbedded, DirectFB, etc. So I feel the
+logical choice is to use Linux Input.
+
+Currently there is no way to calibrate the device via this driver. Even if
+the device could be calibrated, the driver pulls to raw coordinate data from
+the controller. This means calibration must be performed within the
+userspace.
+
+The controller screen resolution is now 0 to 16384 for both X and Y reporting
+the raw touch data. This is the same for the old and new capacitive USB
+controllers.
+
+Perhaps at some point an abstract function will be placed into evdev so
+generic functions like calibrations, resets, and vendor information can be
+requested from the userspace (And the drivers would handle the vendor specific
+tasks).
+
+TODO
+====
+
+Implement a control urb again to handle requests to and from the device
+such as calibration, etc once/if it becomes available.
+
+Disclaimer
+==========
+
+I am not a MicroTouch/3M employee, nor have I ever been. 3M does not support
+this driver! If you want touch drivers only supported within X, please go to:

+Thanks

+
+A huge thank you to 3M Touch Systems for the EXII-5010UC controllers for
+testing!
