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.

+ * Implementation of fsverity_operations for ext4.
+ *
+ * ext4 stores the verity metadata (Merkle tree and fsverity_descriptor) past
+ * the end of the file, starting at the first 64K boundary beyond i_size. This
+ * approach works because (a) verity files are readonly, and (b) pages fully
+ * beyond i_size aren't visible to userspace but can be read/written internally
+ * by ext4 with only some relatively small changes to ext4. This approach
+ * avoids having to depend on the EA_INODE feature and on rearchitecturing
+ * ext4's xattr support to support paging multi-gigabyte xattrs into memory, and
+ * to support encrypting xattrs. Note that the verity metadata *must* be
+ * encrypted when the file is, since it contains hashes of the plaintext data.
+ *
+ * Using a 64K boundary rather than a 4K one keeps things ready for
+ * architectures with 64K pages, and it doesn't necessarily waste space on-disk
+ * since there can be a hole between i_size and the start of the Merkle tree.
