[PATCH v3 1/2] MIPS: Don't crash in stack_top() for tasks without ABI or vDSO
From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Tue Apr 15 2025 - 03:10:39 EST
Not all tasks have an ABI associated or vDSO mapped,
for example kthreads never do.
If such a task ever ends up calling stack_top(), it will derefence the
NULL ABI pointer and crash.
This can for example happen when using kunit:
mips_stack_top+0x28/0xc0
arch_pick_mmap_layout+0x190/0x220
kunit_vm_mmap_init+0xf8/0x138
__kunit_add_resource+0x40/0xa8
kunit_vm_mmap+0x88/0xd8
usercopy_test_init+0xb8/0x240
kunit_try_run_case+0x5c/0x1a8
kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x28/0x50
kthread+0x118/0x240
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c
Only dereference the ABI point if it is set.
Also move the randomization adjustment into the same conditional.
