[PATCH] asm/sections: Check for overflow in memory_contains()

From: Vincent Whitchurch
Date: Tue Dec 17 2019 - 05:23:40 EST


ARM uses memory_contains() from its stacktrace code via this function:

static inline bool in_entry_text(unsigned long addr)
{
return memory_contains(__entry_text_start, __entry_text_end,
(void *)addr, 1);
}

addr is taken from the stack and can be a completely invalid. If addr
is 0xffffffff, there is an overflow in the pointer arithmetic in
memory_contains() and in_entry_text() incorrectly returns true.

Fix this by adding an overflow check. The check is done on unsigned
longs to avoid undefined behaviour.
