[PATCH] x86/stacktrace: Do not access user space memory unnecessarily

From: Eiichi Tsukata
Date: Tue Jul 02 2019 - 01:32:04 EST


Put the boundary check before it accesses user space to prevent unnecessary
access which might crash the machine.

Especially, ftrace preemptirq/irq_disable event with user stack trace
option can trigger SEGV in pid 1 which leads to panic.

Reproducer:

CONFIG_PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS=y
# echo 1 > events/preemptirq/enable
# echo userstacktrace > trace_options

Output:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
