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.

+/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
+
+ The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
+ route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
+
+ Why? If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
+ PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
+ when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost.
+ This isn't very consistent.
+
+ One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
+ but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
+ This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
+
+ [when not running slip]
+ ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
+ [to go to slip]
+ ifconfig dummy down
+ dip whatever
+
+ This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
+ and the loopback driver. I then threw away anything that didn't
+ apply! Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
+ misguided packets.
+

+ [I tweaked this explanation a little but that's all]
