x86/unwind: Add end-of-stack check for ftrace handlers
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.
