From fc57a7c68020dcf954428869eafd934c0ab1536f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2015 16:32:04 -0700 Subject: x86/paravirt: Replace the paravirt nop with a bona fide empty function PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME generates this code (using nmi as an example, trimmed for readability): ff 15 00 00 00 00 callq *0x0(%rip) # 2796 2792: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_irq_ops+0x2c That's a call through a function pointer to regular C function that does nothing on native boots, but that function isn't protected against kprobes, isn't marked notrace, and is certainly not guaranteed to preserve any registers if the compiler is feeling perverse. This is bad news for a CLBR_NONE operation. Of course, if everything works correctly, once paravirt ops are patched, it gets nopped out, but what if we hit this code before paravirt ops are patched in? This can potentially cause breakage that is very difficult to debug. A more subtle failure is possible here, too: if _paravirt_nop uses the stack at all (even just to push RBP), it will overwrite the "NMI executing" variable if it's called in the NMI prologue. The Xen case, perhaps surprisingly, is fine, because it's already written in asm. Fix all of the cases that default to paravirt_nop (including adjust_exception_frame) with a big hammer: replace paravirt_nop with an asm function that is just a ret instruction. The Xen case may have other problems, so document them. This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

The code is fine under the assumption that SWAPGS is just a normal instruction, but that assumption isn't really true. Use SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK instead.
