[ Upstream commit 97f88a3d723162781d6cbfdc7b9617eefab55b19 ]

The address being probed has some special:

  cmdline_proc_show: Probe based on ftrace
  cmdline_proc_show+16: Probe for the next instruction at the ftrace location

The ftrace-based kprobe does not generate kprobe::ainsn::insn, it gets
set to NULL. In arch_prepare_kprobe() it will check for:

  ...
  prev = get_kprobe(p-&gt;addr - 1);
  preempt_enable_no_resched();
  if (prev &amp;&amp; ppc_inst_prefixed(ppc_inst_read(prev-&gt;ainsn.insn))) {
  ...

If prev is based on ftrace, 'ppc_inst_read(prev-&gt;ainsn.insn)' will occur
with a null pointer reference. At this point prev-&gt;addr will not be a
prefixed instruction, so the check can be skipped.

Check if prev is ftrace-based kprobe before reading 'prev-&gt;ainsn.insn'
to fix this problem.

<title>powerpc/64: Drop ppc_inst_as_str()</title>
<updated>2022-06-29T09:37:07Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Michael Ellerman</name>

<published>2022-05-31T06:59:36Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=2a83afe72a2b5760155c2dd840c776aee292dc90'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2a83afe72a2b5760155c2dd840c776aee292dc90</id>
<content type='text'>
The ppc_inst_as_str() macro tries to make printing variable length,
aka "prefixed", instructions convenient. It mostly succeeds, but it does
hide an on-stack buffer, which triggers stack protector.

More problematically it doesn't compile at all with GCC 12,
with -Wdangling-pointer, due to the fact that it returns the char buffer
declared inside the macro:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/trace/ftrace.c: In function '__ftrace_modify_call':
  ./include/linux/printk.h:475:44: error: using a dangling pointer to '__str' [-Werror=dangling-pointer=]
    475 | #define printk(fmt, ...) printk_index_wrap(_printk, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
    ...
  arch/powerpc/kernel/trace/ftrace.c:567:17: note: in expansion of macro 'pr_err'
    567 |                 pr_err("Not expected bl: opcode is %s\n", ppc_inst_as_str(op));
        |                 ^~~~~~
  ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/inst.h:156:14: note: '__str' declared here
    156 |         char __str[PPC_INST_STR_LEN];   \
        |              ^~~~~

This could be fixed by having the caller declare the buffer, but in some
places there'd need to be two buffers. In all cases where
ppc_inst_as_str() is used the output is not really meant for user
consumption, it's almost always indicative of a kernel bug.

A simpler solution is to just print the value as an unsigned long. For
normal instructions the output is identical. For prefixed instructions
the value is printed as a single 64-bit quantity, whereas previously the
low half was printed first. But that is good enough for debug output,
especially as prefixed instructions will be rare in kernel code in
practice.

Old:
  c000000000111170  60420000      ori     r2,r2,0
  c000000000111174  04100001 e580fb00     .long 0xe580fb0004100001

New:
  c00000000010f90c  60420000      ori     r2,r2,0

<title>powerpc: Reject probes on instructions that can't be single stepped</title>
<updated>2022-05-05T14:00:20Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=54cdacd7d3b3c1a8dc10965f56c8b5eb8eda1a33'/>
<id>urn:sha1:54cdacd7d3b3c1a8dc10965f56c8b5eb8eda1a33</id>
<content type='text'>
Per the ISA, a Trace interrupt is not generated for:
- [h|u]rfi[d]
- rfscv
- sc, scv, and Trap instructions that trap
- Power-Saving Mode instructions
- other instructions that cause interrupts (other than Trace interrupts)
- the first instructions of any interrupt handler (applies to Branch and Single Step tracing;
CIABR matches may still occur)
- instructions that are emulated by software

Add a helper to check for instructions belonging to the first four
categories above and to reject kprobes, uprobes and xmon breakpoints on
such instructions. We reject probing on instructions belonging to these
categories across all ISA versions and across both BookS and BookE.

For trap instructions, we can't know in advance if they can cause a
trap, and there is no good reason to allow probing on those. Also,
uprobes already refuses to probe trap instructions and kprobes does not
allow probes on trap instructions used for kernel warnings and bugs. As
such, stop allowing any type of probes/breakpoints on trap instruction
across uprobes, kprobes and xmon.

For some of the fp/altivec instructions that can generate an interrupt
and which we emulate in the kernel (altivec assist, for example), we
check and turn off single stepping in emulate_single_step().

Instructions generating a DSI are restarted and single stepping normally
completes once the instruction is completed.

In uprobes, if a single stepped instruction results in a non-fatal
signal to be delivered to the task, such signals are "delayed" until
after the instruction completes. For fatal signals, single stepping is
cancelled and the instruction restarted in-place so that core dump
captures proper addresses.

In kprobes, we do not allow probes on instructions having an extable
entry and we also do not allow probing interrupt vectors.

<content type='text'>
In order to allow kprobes to skip the ENDBR instructions at sym+0 for
X86_KERNEL_IBT builds, change _kprobe_addr() to take an architecture
callback to inspect the function at hand and modify the offset if
needed.

This streamlines the existing interface to cover more cases and
require less hooks. Once PowerPC gets fully converted there will only
be the one arch hook.

Since now there is kretprobe_trampoline_addr() for referring the
address of kretprobe trampoline code, we don't need to access
kretprobe_trampoline directly.

Make it harder to refer by renaming it to __kretprobe_trampoline().

<content type='text'>
The __kretprobe_trampoline_handler() callback, called from low level
arch kprobes methods, has the 'trampoline_address' parameter, which is
entirely superfluous as it basically just replicates:

  dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(kretprobe_trampoline)

In fact we had bugs in arch code where it wasn't replicated correctly.

So remove this superfluous parameter and use kretprobe_trampoline_addr()
instead.

~15 years ago kprobes grew the 'arch_deref_entry_point()' __weak function:

  3d7e33825d87: ("jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users")

But this is just open-coded dereference_symbol_descriptor() in essence, and
its obscure nature was causing bugs.

Just use the real thing and remove arch_deref_entry_point().

Trace/breakpoint trap

There is no real mode for booke arch and the MMU translation is
always on. The corresponding MSR_IS/MSR_DS bit in booke is used
to switch the address space, but not for real mode judgment.
