From 69682b625a043b567873e6cda397969b502f0054 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitsuo Hayasaka Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:08:21 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Add user_mode_vm check in stack_overflow_check The kernel stack overflow is checked in stack_overflow_check(), which may wrongly detect the overflow if the stack pointer in user space points to the kernel stack intentionally or accidentally. So, the actual overflow is never detected after this misdetection because WARN_ONCE() is used on the detection of it. This patch adds user-mode-vm checking before it to avoid this problem and bails out early if the user stack is used.
