Dave Jones and Steven Rostedt reported unwinder warnings like the
following:
WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffff8800bda0ff30 in sshd:1090 has bad value 000055b32abf1fa8
In both cases, the unwinder was attempting to unwind from an ftrace
handler into entry code. The callchain was something like:
syscall entry code
C function
ftrace handler
save_stack_trace()
The problem is that the unwinder's end-of-stack logic gets confused by
the way ftrace lays out the stack frame (with fentry enabled).
I was able to recreate this warning with:
echo call_usermodehelper_exec_async:stacktrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
(exit login session)
I considered fixing this by changing the ftrace code to rewrite the
stack to make the unwinder happy. But that seemed too intrusive after I
implemented it. Instead, just add another check to the unwinder's
end-of-stack logic to detect this special case.
Side note: We could probably get rid of these end-of-stack checks by
encoding the frame pointer for syscall entry just like we do for
interrupt entry. That would be simpler, but it would also be a lot more
intrusive since it would slightly affect the performance of every
syscall.

Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:
- a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
trivial set, is currently in the works).
This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
fallback options which make it quite flexible.

Currently unwind_dump() dumps only the most recently accessed stack.
But it has a few issues.
In some cases, 'first_sp' can get out of sync with 'stack_info', causing
unwind_dump() to start from the wrong address, flood the printk buffer,
and eventually read a bad address.
In other cases, dumping only the most recently accessed stack doesn't
give enough data to diagnose the error.
Fix both issues by dumping *all* stacks involved in the trace, not just
the last one.

It unwinded from an interrupt which came in right after entry code
called into a C syscall handler, before it had a chance to set up the
frame pointer, so regs->bp still had its user space value.
Add a check to silence warnings in such a case, where an interrupt
has occurred and regs->sp is almost at the end of the stack.

Pavel Machek reported the following warning on x86-32:
WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at f50cdf98 in swapper/2:0 has bad value (null)
The warning is caused by the unwinder not realizing that it reached the
end of the stack, due to an unusual prologue which gcc sometimes
generates for aligned stacks. The prologue is based on a gcc feature
called the Dynamic Realign Argument Pointer (DRAP). It's almost always
enabled for aligned stacks when -maccumulate-outgoing-args isn't set.
This issue is similar to the one fixed by the following commit:
8023e0e2a4 ("x86/unwind: Adjust last frame check for aligned function stacks")
... but that fix was specific to x86-64.
Make the fix more generic to cover x86-32 as well, and also ensure that
the return address referred to by the frame pointer is a copy of the
original return address.

For live patching and possibly other use cases, a stack trace is only
useful if it can be assured that it's completely reliable. Add a new
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() function to achieve that.
Note that if the target task isn't the current task, and the target task
is allowed to run, then it could be writing the stack while the unwinder
is reading it, resulting in possible corruption. So the caller of
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() must ensure that the task is either
'current' or inactive.
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() relies on the x86 unwinder's detection
of pt_regs on the stack. If the pt_regs are not user-mode registers
from a syscall, then they indicate an in-kernel interrupt or exception
(e.g. preemption or a page fault), in which case the stack is considered
unreliable due to the nature of frame pointers.
It also relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of other issues, such as:
- corrupted stack data
- stack grows the wrong way
- stack walk doesn't reach the bottom
- user didn't provide a large enough entries array
Such issues are reported by checking unwind_error() and !unwind_done().
Also add CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE so arch-independent code can
determine at build time whether the function is implemented.

There are a handful of callers to save_stack_trace_tsk() and
show_stack() which try to unwind the stack of a task other than current.
In such cases, it's remotely possible that the task is running on one
CPU while the unwinder is reading its stack from another CPU, causing
the unwinder to see stack corruption.
These cases seem to be mostly harmless. The unwinder has checks which
prevent it from following bad pointers beyond the bounds of the stack.
So it's not really a bug as long as the caller understands that
unwinding another task will not always succeed.
In such cases, it's possible that the unwinder may read a KASAN-poisoned
region of the stack. Account for that by using READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() when
reading the stack of another task.
Use READ_ONCE() when reading the stack of the current task, since KASAN
warnings can still be useful for finding bugs in that case.

WARNING: unrecognized kernel stack return address ffffffffa0000001 at ffff88006377fa18 in a.out:4467
The unwind was initiated from an interrupt which occurred while running in the
generated code for a kprobe. The unwinder printed the warning because it
expected regs->ip to point to a valid text address, but instead it pointed to
the generated code.
Eventually we may want come up with a way to identify generated kprobe
code so the unwinder can know that it's a valid return address. Until
then, just remove the warning.

The unwinder warnings are good at finding unexpected unwinder issues,
but they often don't give enough data to be able to fully diagnose them.
Print a one-time stack dump when a warning is detected.

Somehow, CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n convinces gcc to change the
x86_64_start_kernel() prologue from:
0000000000000129 <x86_64_start_kernel>:
129: 55 push %rbp
12a: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
to:
0000000000000124 <x86_64_start_kernel>:
124: 4c 8d 54 24 08 lea 0x8(%rsp),%r10
129: 48 83 e4 f0 and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
12d: 41 ff 72 f8 pushq -0x8(%r10)
131: 55 push %rbp
132: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
This is an unusual pattern which aligns rsp (though in this case it's
already aligned) and saves the start_cpu() return address again on the
stack before storing the frame pointer.
The unwinder assumes the last stack frame header is at a certain offset,
but the above code breaks that assumption, resulting in the following
warning:
WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffffff82e03f40 in swapper:0 has bad value (null)
Fix it by checking for the last task stack frame at the aligned offset
in addition to the normal unaligned offset.

If __kernel_text_address() doesn't recognize a return address on the
stack, it probably means that it's some generated code which
__kernel_text_address() doesn't know about yet.
Otherwise there's probably some stack corruption.
Either way, warn about it.
Use printk_deferred_once() because the unwinder can be called with the
console lock by lockdep via save_stack_trace().

The entry code doesn't encode the pt_regs pointer for syscalls. But the
pt_regs are always at the same location, so we can add a manual check
for them.
A later patch prints them as part of the oops stack dump. They could be
useful, for example, to determine the arguments to a system call.

With frame pointers, when a task is interrupted, its stack is no longer
completely reliable because the function could have been interrupted
before it had a chance to save the previous frame pointer on the stack.
So the caller of the interrupted function could get skipped by a stack
trace.
This is problematic for live patching, which needs to know whether a
stack trace of a sleeping task can be relied upon. There's currently no
way to detect if a sleeping task was interrupted by a page fault
exception or preemption before it went to sleep.
Another issue is that when dumping the stack of an interrupted task, the
unwinder has no way of knowing where the saved pt_regs registers are, so
it can't print them.
This solves those issues by encoding the pt_regs pointer in the frame
pointer on entry from an interrupt or an exception.
This patch also updates the unwinder to be able to decode it, because
otherwise the unwinder would be broken by this change.
Note that this causes a change in the behavior of the unwinder: each
instance of a pt_regs on the stack is now considered a "frame". So
callers of unwind_get_return_address() will now get an occasional
'regs->ip' address that would have previously been skipped over.

The x86 stack dump code is a bit of a mess. dump_trace() uses
callbacks, and each user of it seems to have slightly different
requirements, so there are several slightly different callbacks floating
around.
Also there are some upcoming features which will need more changes to
the stack dump code, including the printing of stack pt_regs, reliable
stack detection for live patching, and a DWARF unwinder. Each of those
features would at least need more callbacks and/or callback interfaces,
resulting in a much bigger mess than what we have today.
Before doing all that, we should try to clean things up and replace
dump_trace() with something cleaner and more flexible.
The new unwinder is a simple state machine which was heavily inspired by
a suggestion from Andy Lutomirski:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrUbNTqaM2LRyXGRx=kVLRPeY5A3Pc6k4TtQxF320rUT=w@mail.gmail.com
It's also similar to the libunwind API:
http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/libunwind(3).html
Some if its advantages:
- Simplicity: no more callback sprawl and less code duplication.
- Flexibility: it allows the caller to stop and inspect the stack state
at each step in the unwinding process.
- Modularity: the unwinder code, console stack dump code, and stack
metadata analysis code are all better separated so that changing one
of them shouldn't have much of an impact on any of the others.
Two implementations are added which conform to the new unwind interface:
- The frame pointer unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y.
- The "guess" unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n. This
isn't an "unwinder" per se. All it does is scan the stack for kernel
text addresses. But with no frame pointers, guesses are better than
nothing in most cases.
