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
+ An overlay filesystem combines two filesystems - an 'upper' filesystem
+ and a 'lower' filesystem. When a name exists in both filesystems, the
+ object in the 'upper' filesystem is visible while the object in the
+ 'lower' filesystem is either hidden or, in the case of directories,
+ merged with the 'upper' object.

+ still possible to turn off redirects globally with the
+ "redirect_dir=off" module option or on a filesystem instance basis
+ with the "redirect_dir=off" mount option.

+ bool "Overlayfs: turn on inodes index feature by default"

+ If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use

+ In this case it is still possible to turn off index globally with the
+ "index=off" module option or on a filesystem instance basis with the

+
+ The inodes index feature prevents breaking of lower hardlinks on copy
+ up.

+ help
+ If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use
+ the index directory to decode overlay NFS file handles by default.
+ In this case, it is still possible to turn off NFS export support
+ globally with the "nfs_export=off" module option or on a filesystem
+ instance basis with the "nfs_export=off" mount option.
+
+ The NFS export feature creates an index on copy up of every file and
+ directory. This full index is used to detect overlay filesystems
+ inconsistencies on lookup, like redirect from multiple upper dirs to
+ the same lower dir. The full index may incur some overhead on mount
+ time, especially when verifying that directory file handles are not
+ stale.
+
+ Note, that the NFS export feature is not backward compatible.
+ That is, mounting an overlay which has a full index on a kernel
+ that doesn't support this feature will have unexpected results.
+
+ Most users should say N here and enable this feature on a case-by-
+ case basis with the "nfs_export=on" mount option.
+
+ Say N unless you fully understand the consequences.

+ inodes to a unified address space. The mapped 64bit inode numbers
+ might not be compatible with applications that expect 32bit inodes.
