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.

+ help
+ This is a generic journaling layer for block devices that support
+ both 32-bit and 64-bit block numbers. It is currently used by
+ the ext4 and OCFS2 filesystems, but it could also be used to add
+ journal support to other file systems or block devices such
+ as RAID or LVM.
+
+ If you are using ext4 or OCFS2, you need to say Y here.
+ If you are not using ext4 or OCFS2 then you will
+ probably want to say N.
+
+ To compile this device as a module, choose M here. The module will be
+ called jbd2. If you are compiling ext4 or OCFS2 into the kernel,
+ you cannot compile this code as a module.

+ help
+ If you are using the ext4 journaled file system (or
+ potentially any other filesystem/device using JBD2), this option
+ allows you to enable debugging output while the system is running,
+ in order to help track down any problems you are having.
+ By default, the debugging output will be turned off.
+
+ If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging
+ with "echo N > /sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug", where N is a
+ number between 1 and 5. The higher the number, the more debugging
+ output is generated. To turn debugging off again, do
+ "echo 0 > /sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug".
