[PATCH 08/10] uprobes: Change handle_trampoline() to flush the frames invalidated by longjmp()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 08:50:27 EST


Test-case:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <setjmp.h>

jmp_buf jmp;

void func_2(void)
{
longjmp(jmp, 1);
}

void func_1(void)
{
if (setjmp(jmp))
return;
func_2();
printf("ERR!! I am running on the caller's stack\n");
}

int main(void)
{
func_1();
return 0;
}

fails if you probe func_1() and func_2() because handle_trampoline()
assumes that the probed function should must return and hit the bp
installed be prepare_uretprobe(). But in this case func_2() does not
return, so when func_1() returns the kernel uses the no longer valid
return_instance of func_2().

Change handle_trampoline() to unwind ->return_instances until we know
that the next chain is alive or NULL, this ensures that the current
chain is the last we need to report and free.

Alternatively, every return_instance could use unique trampoline_vaddr,
in this case we could use it as a key. And this could solve the problem
with sigaltstack() automatically.

But this approach needs more changes, and it puts the "hard" limit on
MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH. Plus it can not solve another problem partially
fixed by the next patch.

Note: this change has no effect on !x86, the arch-agnostic version of
arch_uretprobe_is_alive() just returns "true".

TODO: as documented by the previous change, arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
can be fooled by sigaltstack/etc.
