Subject: [PATCH 0/2] kprobes: Fix kretprobe incorrect stacking order problem

Hello,

On recent talk with Andrea, I started more precise investigation on
the kernel panic with kretprobes on notrace functions, which Francis
had been reported last year ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/14/466 ).

At first, I tried to reproduce the issue. I picked up __fdget and
ftrace_ops_assist_func as probed functions.
With CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, I could reproduce the kernel
panic as below.

=====
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo "r:event_1 __fdget" >> kprobe_events 
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo "r:event_2 ftrace_ops_assist_func" >> kprobe_events
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable

=====

This seems the kernel is trying to execute incorrect address.

Next, I focused on the combination of probes. From Francis's report,
this issue caused by the combination of kretprobes, not kprobes.
I ensured that was true.

r __fdget & r ftrace_ops_assist_func => NG
p __fdget & p ftrace_ops_assist_func => OK
p __fdget & r ftrace_ops_assist_func => OK
r __fdget & p ftrace_ops_assist_func => OK

r: kretprobe, p: kprobe

This gave me a hint of what happened. I can explain the cause of this
issue as below;
 
Correct processing of kretprobe on probed-function.

<caller>
 -><probed-function>
   ->fentry
    ->ftrace_ops_assist_func()
     ->kprobe_ftrace_handler()
      ...->pre_handler_kretprobe()
           push the return address (caller) of probed-function to top of the
           kretprobe list and replace it with kretprobe_trampoline.
    <-(ftrace_ops_assist_func())
   <-(fentry)
  <-(probed-function)
[kretprobe_trampoline]
 ->tampoline_handler()
   pop the return address (caller) from top of the kretprobe list
 <-(trampoline_handler())
<caller>

When we put a kretprobe on ftrace_ops_assist_func(), below happens

<caller>
 -><probed-function>
   ->fentry
    ->ftrace_ops_assist_func()
     ->int3
      ->kprobe_int3_handler()
      ...->pre_handler_kretprobe()
           push the return address (*fentry*) of ftrace_ops_assist_func() to
           top of the kretprobe list and replace it with kretprobe_trampoline.
      <-kprobe_int3_handler()
     <-(int3)
     ->kprobe_ftrace_handler()
      ...->pre_handler_kretprobe()
           push the return address (caller) of probed-function to top of the
           kretprobe list and replace it with kretprobe_trampoline.
     <-(kprobe_ftrace_handler())
    <-(ftrace_ops_assist_func())
    [kretprobe_trampoline]
     ->tampoline_handler()
       pop the return address (caller) from top of the kretprobe list
     <-(trampoline_handler())
    <caller>
    [run caller with incorrect stack information]
   <-(<caller>)
  !!KERNEL PANIC!!

Therefore, this kernel panic happens only when we put 2 k*ret*probes on
ftrace_ops_assist_func() and other functions. If we put kprobes, it
doesn't cause any issue, since it doesn't change the return address.

To fix (or just avoid) this issue, we can introduce a frame pointer
verification to skip wrong order entries. And I also would like to
blacklist those functions because those are part of ftrace-based 
kprobe handling routine.

BTW, this is not all of issues. To remove CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE
I'm trying to find out other notrace functions which can cause
kernel crash by probing. Mostly done on x86, so I'll post it
after this series.

Thank you,
