[PATCH v2] fprobe: Terminate the fgraph_data list when the reservation is not filled
From: David Carlier
Date: Thu Sep 17 2026 - 17:26:51 EST
fprobe_fgraph_entry() reserves shadow stack space for every fprobe with
an exit handler, but only fills it for those whose entry handler returns
0. fgraph_reserve_data() does not clear the area, so fprobe_return()
parses the unused tail as headers left over from an earlier call, and an
exit handler can run twice or despite its entry handler asking to skip
it.
Write a zero word after the last entry to terminate the walk. A zeroed
slot does not decode to a NULL fprobe on the arches that encode the
header into one unsigned long, since arch_decode_fprobe_header_fp() ORs
in FPROBE_HEADER_MSB_PATTERN, so make read_fprobe_header() return NULL
for a zeroed slot.
Fixes: e0a384434ae1 ("tracing: fprobe: do not zero out unused fgraph_data")
