[PATCH] locking/lockdep: Fix potential buffer overrun problem in stack_trace[]

From: Waiman Long
Date: Thu Dec 19 2019 - 13:28:38 EST


If the lockdep code is really running out of the stack_trace entries,
there is a possiblity that buffer overrun can happen and corrupt the
data immediately after stack_trace[].

If there is less than LOCK_TRACE_SIZE_IN_LONGS entries left before
the call to save_trace(), the max_entries computation will leave it
with a very large positive number because of its unsigned nature. The
subsequent call to stack_trace_save() will then corrupt the data after
stack_trace[]. Fix that by changing max_entries to a signed integer
and check for negative value before calling stack_trace_save().

Fixes: 12593b7467f9 ("locking/lockdep: Reduce space occupied by stack traces")
