Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/19] powerpc/perf: callchain validate kernel stack pointer bounds
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 15:54:22 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221031055440.3594315-2-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221031055440.3594315-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

The interrupt frame detection and loads from the hypothetical pt_regs
are not bounds-checked. The next-frame validation only bounds-checks
STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, which does not include the pt_regs. Add another
test for this.

Could the user set r1 to be equal to the address matching the first
interrupt frame - STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, which is in the previous page
due to the kernel redzone, and induce the kernel to load the marker from
there? Possibly it could cause a crash at least.

It also seems a bit rude to put a fancy next-frame-validation out in
perf/ rather than with the rest of the frame validation code.

Thanks,
Nick
