[PATCH v7 4/4] x86/kasan: Print original address on #GP

From: Jann Horn
Date: Wed Dec 18 2019 - 18:12:28 EST


Make #GP exceptions caused by out-of-bounds KASAN shadow accesses easier
to understand by computing the address of the original access and
printing that. More details are in the comments in the patch.

This turns an error like this:

kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled
kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xe017577ddf75b7dd: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI

into this:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
0xe017577ddf75b7dd: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range
[0x00badbeefbadbee8-0x00badbeefbadbeef]

The hook is placed in architecture-independent code, but is currently
only wired up to the X86 exception handler because I'm not sufficiently
familiar with the address space layout and exception handling mechanisms
on other architectures.

Notes:
v2:
- move to mm/kasan/report.c (Dmitry)
- change hook name to be more generic
- use TASK_SIZE instead of TASK_SIZE_MAX for compiling on non-x86
- don't open-code KASAN_SHADOW_MASK (Dmitry)
- add "KASAN: " prefix, but not "BUG: " (Andrey, Dmitry)
- use same naming scheme as get_wild_bug_type (Andrey)
- this version was "Reviewed-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx>"
v3:
- adjusted example output in commit message based on
changes in preceding patch
- ensure that KASAN output happens after bust_spinlocks(1)
- moved hook in arch/x86/kernel/traps.c such that output
appears after the first line of KASAN-independent error report
v4:
- adjust patch to changes in x86/traps patch
v5:
- adjust patch to changes in x86/traps patch
- fix bug introduced in v3: remove die() call after oops_end()
v6:
- adjust sample output in commit message
v7:
- instead of open-coding __die_header()+__die_body() in traps.c,
insert a hook call into die_body(), introduced in patch 3/4
