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.

+ tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
+ select SLHC
+ help
+ PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
+ the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
+ serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
+ otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
+ days support PPP rather than SLIP.
+
+ To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd, available at
+ <https://ppp.samba.org>. Make sure that you have the version of pppd
+ recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
+ The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
+
+ There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
+ asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
+ synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
+ example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
+ asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
+ the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
+ synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
+ synchronous PPP", below.
+
+ If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
+ you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
+ compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
+ here. The module will be called ppp_generic.

+config PPP_BSDCOMP
+ tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
+ help
+ Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
+ the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
+ sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
+ (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
+ method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
+ it is safe to say Y here.
+
+ The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
+ above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
+ and is patent-free.
+
+ Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
+ module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
+ modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
+
+config PPP_DEFLATE
+ tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
+ select ZLIB_INFLATE
+ select ZLIB_DEFLATE
+ help
+ Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the

+ Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if

+
+config PPP_FILTER
+ bool "PPP filtering"
+ help
+ Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
+ PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
+ activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
+ a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
+ You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
+ active-filter options to pppd.

+ help
+ PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
+ to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
+ connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
+
+ This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
