Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: asm-bug: Add .align 2 to the end of __BUG_ENTRY
When CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=n, we fail to add necessary padding bytes
to bug_table entries, and as a result the last entry in a bug table will
be ignored, potentially leading to an unexpected panic(). All prior
entries in the table will be handled correctly.
The arm64 ABI requires that struct fields of up to 8 bytes are
naturally-aligned, with padding added within a struct such that struct
are suitably aligned within arrays.
When CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERPOSE=y, the layout of a bug_entry is:
struct bug_entry {
signed int bug_addr_disp; // 4 bytes
signed int file_disp; // 4 bytes
unsigned short line; // 2 bytes
unsigned short flags; // 2 bytes
}
.. with 12 bytes total, requiring 4-byte alignment.
When CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=n, the layout of a bug_entry is:
struct bug_entry {
signed int bug_addr_disp; // 4 bytes
unsigned short flags; // 2 bytes
< implicit padding > // 2 bytes
}
.. with 8 bytes total, with 6 bytes of data and 2 bytes of trailing
padding, requiring 4-byte alginment.
When we create a bug_entry in assembly, we align the start of the entry
to 4 bytes, which implicitly handles padding for any prior entries.
However, we do not align the end of the entry, and so when
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=n, the final entry lacks the trailing padding
bytes.
For the main kernel image this is not a problem as find_bug() doesn't
depend on the trailing padding bytes when searching for entries:
for (bug = __start___bug_table; bug < __stop___bug_table; ++bug)
if (bugaddr == bug_addr(bug))
return bug;
However for modules, module_bug_finalize() depends on the trailing
bytes when calculating the number of entries:
mod->num_bugs = sechdrs[i].sh_size / sizeof(struct bug_entry);
.. and as the last bug_entry lacks the necessary padding bytes, this entry
will not be counted, e.g. in the case of a single entry:
sechdrs[i].sh_size == 6
sizeof(struct bug_entry) == 8;
sechdrs[i].sh_size / sizeof(struct bug_entry) == 0;
Consequently module_find_bug() will miss the last bug_entry when it does:
for (i = 0; i < mod->num_bugs; ++i, ++bug)
if (bugaddr == bug_addr(bug))
goto out;
.. which can lead to a kenrel panic due to an unhandled bug.
This can be demonstrated with the following module:
static int __init buginit(void)
{
WARN(1, "hello\n");
return 0;
}
static void __exit bugexit(void)
{
}
module_init(buginit);
module_exit(bugexit);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
.. which will trigger a kernel panic when loaded:

Kernel panic - not syncing: BRK handler: Fatal exception
Fix this by always aligning the end of a bug_entry to 4 bytes, which is
correct regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE.
