Subject: perf: Fix unsafe frame rewinding with hot regs fetching
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab285f2b5290d92b7ec1a6f9aad54308dadf6157;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

perf: Fix unsafe frame rewinding with hot regs fetching

When we fetch the hot regs and rewind to the nth caller, it
might happen that we dereference a frame pointer outside the
kernel stack boundaries, like in this example:

	perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
        schedule+0x6b5/0x860
        retint_careful+0xd/0x21

Since we directly dereference a userspace frame pointer here while
rewinding behind retint_careful, this may end up in a crash.

Fix this by simply using probe_kernel_address() when we rewind the
frame pointer.

This issue will have a much more proper fix in the next version of the
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() API that will only need to rewind to the
first caller.
