[PATCH 5/5] ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when calling lockdep

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed May 30 2012 - 22:04:55 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

When both DYNAMIC_FTRACE and LOCKDEP are set, the TRACE_IRQS_ON/OFF
will call into the lockdep code. The lockdep code can call lots of
functions that may be traced by ftrace. When ftrace is updating its
code and hits a breakpoint, the breakpoint handler will call into
lockdep. If lockdep happens to call a function that also has a breakpoint
attached, it will jump back into the breakpoint handler resetting
the stack to the debug stack and corrupt the contents currently on
that stack.

The 'do_sym' call that calls do_int3() is protected by modifying the
IST table to point to a different location if another breakpoint is
hit. But the TRACE_IRQS_OFF/ON are outside that protection, and if
a breakpoint is hit from those, the stack will get corrupted, and
the kernel will crash:

The solution was to reuse the NMI functions that change the IDT table to make the debug
stack keep its current stack (in kernel mode) when hitting a breakpoint:

call debug_stack_set_zero
TRACE_IRQS_ON
call debug_stack_reset

If the TRACE_IRQS_ON happens to hit a breakpoint then it will keep the current stack
and not crash the box.
