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.

+# Simple script to update the version of DTC carried by the Linux kernel
+#
+# This script assumes that the dtc and the linux git trees are in the
+# same directory. After building dtc in the dtc directory, it copies the
+# source files and generated source file(s) into the scripts/dtc directory
+# in the kernel and creates a git commit updating them to the new
+# version.
+#
+# Usage: from the top level Linux source tree, run:
+# $ ./scripts/dtc/update-dtc-source.sh
+#
+# The script will change into the dtc tree, build and test dtc, copy the
+# relevant files into the kernel tree and create a git commit. The commit
+# message will need to be modified to reflect the version of DTC being
+# imported
+#
+# TODO:
+# This script is pretty basic, but it is seldom used so a few manual tasks
+# aren't a big deal. If anyone is interested in making it more robust, the
+# the following would be nice:
+# * Actually fail to complete if any testcase fails.
+# - The dtc "make check" target needs to return a failure
+# * Extract the version number from the dtc repo for the commit message
+# * Build dtc in the kernel tree
+# * run 'make check" on dtc built from the kernel tree
