Subject: CVE-2023-54322: arm64: set __exception_irq_entry with __irq_entry as a default

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

arm64: set __exception_irq_entry with __irq_entry as a default

filter_irq_stacks() is supposed to cut entries which are related irq entries
from its call stack.
And in_irqentry_text() which is called by filter_irq_stacks()
uses __irqentry_text_start/end symbol to find irq entries in callstack.

But it doesn't work correctly as without "CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER",
arm64 kernel doesn't include gic_handle_irq which is entry point of arm64 irq
between __irqentry_text_start and __irqentry_text_end as we discussed in below link.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CACT4Y+aReMGLYua2rCLHgFpS9io5cZC04Q8GLs-uNmrn1ezxYQ@mail.gmail.com/#t

This problem can makes unintentional deep call stack entries especially
in KASAN enabled situation as below.

So let's set __exception_irq_entry with __irq_entry as a default.
Applying this patch, we can see gic_hande_irq is included in Systemp.map as below.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
