[PATCH 10/10] uprobes/x86: Change arch_uretprobe_is_alive() to take !chained into account

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 08:50:39 EST


The previous change documents that cleanup_return_instances() can't
always detect the dead frames, the stack can grow. But there is one
special case which imho worth fixing: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can
return true when the stack didn't actually grow, but the next "call"
insn uses the already invalidated frame.

Test-case:

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

jmp_buf jmp;
int nr = 1024;

void func_2(void)
{
if (--nr == 0)
return;
longjmp(jmp, 1);
}

void func_1(void)
{
setjmp(jmp);
func_2();
}

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

If you ret-probe func_1() and func_2() prepare_uretprobe() hits the
MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH limit and "return" from func_2() is not reported.

Add the new "bool on_call" argument to arch_uretprobe_is_alive().
prepare_uretprobe()->cleanup_return_instances() path passes "true"
when we know that we can do a more strict check to detect the dead
frames: chained == F. In this case "sp" points to the new ret-addr,
so every frame which uses the same "sp" must be dead.

Note: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() could also re-read *sp and check if
this word is still trampoline_vaddr. This could obviously improve the
logic, but I'd like to avoid another copy_from_user() especially in
a case when we can't avoid the false "alive == T" positives.
