[PATCH -tip v2 0/7] kprobes: Fix %p in kprobes
From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Apr 26 2018 - 04:08:37 EST
Hi,
This 2nd version of the series which fixes %p uses in kprobes.
Some by replacing with %pS, some by replacing with %px but
masking with kallsyms_show_value().
V1 series is here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/25/1
I've read the thread about %pK and if I understand correctly
we shouldn't print kernel addresses. However, kprobes debugfs
interface can not stop to show the actual probe address because
it should be compared with addresses in kallsyms for debugging.
So, it depends on that kallsyms_show_value() allows to show
address to user, because if it returns true, anyway that user
can dump /proc/kallsyms.
Other error messages are replaced it with %pS, and one critical
function uses %px which is called right before BUG().
Also, I tried to fix this issue on each arch port. I searched
it by
# find arch/* | grep -e 'kprobe.*c' | xargs grep -w %p
And fixed all %p uses in those files.
Changes in this version;
- [1/7] is newly added.
- patches for MN10300(deleted) and s390(merged) are removed.
Thank you,
