From ab285f2b5290d92b7ec1a6f9aad54308dadf6157 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2010 14:05:50 +0200 Subject: 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.
