Hi,
This crash can be triggered by executing the C reproducer for
multiple times, which just keep loading the following prog as
raw tracepoint into kmem_cache_free().
The prog send SIGSEGV to current via bpf_send_signal_thread(),
after load this, whoever tries to free mem would trigger this,
kernel crashed when this happens to init.
Seems we should filter init out in bpf_send_signal_common() by
is_global_init(current), or maybe we should check this in the
verifier?
The helper is just to send a particular signal to *current*
thread. In typical use case, it is never a good idea to send
the signal to a *random* thread. In certain cases, maybe user
indeed wants to send the signal to init thread to observe
something. Note that such destructive side effect already
exists in the bpf land. For example, for a xdp program,
it could drop all packets to make machine not responsive
to ssh etc. Therefore, I recommend to keep the existing
bpf_send_signal_common() helper behavior.
This can be reproduced on:
