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.

+ This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
+
+ Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
+ the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
+ ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
+ physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
+ allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
+ and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
+ up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
+ http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
+
+ The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there
+ are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode
+ table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4
+ features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new
+ filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling
+ of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward
+ compatible.
+
+ To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
+ module will be called ext4.
