Subject: [PATCH 87/93] powerpc: Fix stack overflow crash in resume_kernel when ftracing
3.5.7.15 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michael Ellerman <michael@...erman.id.au>
commit 0e37739b1c96d65e6433998454985de994383019 upstream.
It's possible for us to crash when running with ftrace enabled, eg:
Bad kernel stack pointer bffffd12 at c00000000000a454
cpu 0x3: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000000ffe3d40]
pc: c00000000000a454: resume_kernel+0x34/0x60
lr: c00000000000335c: performance_monitor_common+0x15c/0x180
sp: bffffd12
msr: 8000000000001032
dar: bffffd12
dsisr: 42000000
If we look at current's stack (paca->__current->stack) we see it is
equal to c0000002ecab0000. Our stack is 16K, and comparing to
paca->kstack (c0000002ecab3e30) we can see that we have overflowed our
kernel stack. This leads to us writing over our struct thread_info, and
in this case we have corrupted thread_info->flags and set
_TIF_EMULATE_STACK_STORE.
Dumping the stack we see:

... and so on
__ppc64_runlatch_on() is called from RUNLATCH_ON in the exception entry
path. At that point the irq state is not consistent, ie. interrupts are
hard disabled (by the exception entry), but the paca soft-enabled flag
may be out of sync.
This leads to the local_irq_restore() in trace_graph_entry() actually
enabling interrupts, which we do not want. Because we have not yet
reprogrammed the decrementer we immediately take another decrementer
exception, and recurse.
The fix is twofold. Firstly make sure we call DISABLE_INTS before
calling RUNLATCH_ON. The badly named DISABLE_INTS actually reconciles
the irq state in the paca with the hardware, making it safe again to
call local_irq_save/restore().
Although that should be sufficient to fix the bug, we also mark the
runlatch routines as notrace. They are called very early in the
exception entry and we are asking for trouble tracing them. They are
also fairly uninteresting and tracing them just adds unnecessary
overhead.
