commit 6c4687cc17a788a6dd8de3e27dbeabb7cbd3e066 upstream.

__replace_page() wronlgy calls mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() in "success" path,
it should only do this if page_check_address() fails.

This means that every enable/disable leads to unbalanced mem_cgroup_uncharge()
from put_page(old_page), it is trivial to underflow the page_counter-&gt;count
and trigger OOM.

The xol_free_insn_slot()-&gt;waitqueue_active() check is buggy. We
need mb() after we set the conditon for wait_event(), or
xol_take_insn_slot() can miss the wakeup.

<title>uprobes: Use vm_special_mapping to name the XOL vma</title>

Change xol_add_vma() to use _install_special_mapping(), this way
we can name the vma installed by uprobes. Currently it looks
like private anonymous mapping, this is confusing and
complicates the debugging. With this change /proc/$pid/maps
reports "[uprobes]".

As a side effect this will cause core dumps to include the XOL vma
and I think this is good; this can help to debug the problem if
the app crashed because it was probed.

install_special_mapping(pages) expects that "pages" is the zero-
terminated array while xol_add_vma() passes &amp;area-&gt;page, this
means that special_mapping_fault() can wrongly use the next
member in xol_area (vaddr) as "struct page *".

Fortunately, this area is not expandable so pgoff != 0 isn't
possible (modulo bugs in special_mapping_vmops), but still this
does not look good.

<title>uprobes/x86: Make arch_uretprobe_is_alive(RP_CHECK_CALL) more clever</title>

<id>db087ef69a2b155ae001665bf0b3806abde7ee34</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous change documents that cleanup_return_instances()
can't always detect the dead frames, the stack can grow. But
there is one special case which imho worth fixing:
arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can return true when the stack didn't
actually grow, but the next "call" insn uses the already
invalidated frame.

Test-case:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;setjmp.h&gt;

	jmp_buf jmp;
	int nr = 1024;

	void func_2(void)
	{
		if (--nr == 0)
			return;
		longjmp(jmp, 1);
	}

	void func_1(void)
	{
		setjmp(jmp);
		func_2();
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		func_1();
		return 0;
	}

If you ret-probe func_1() and func_2() prepare_uretprobe() hits
the MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH limit and "return" from func_2() is not
reported.

When we know that the new call is not chained, we can do the
more strict check. In this case "sp" points to the new ret-addr,
so every frame which uses the same "sp" must be dead. The only
complication is that arch_uretprobe_is_alive() needs to know was
it chained or not, so we add the new RP_CHECK_CHAIN_CALL enum
and change prepare_uretprobe() to pass RP_CHECK_CALL only if
!chained.

Note: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() could also re-read *sp and check
if this word is still trampoline_vaddr. This could obviously
improve the logic, but I would like to avoid another
copy_from_user() especially in the case when we can't avoid the
false "alive == T" positives.

arch/x86 doesn't care (so far), but as Pratyush Anand pointed
out other architectures might want why arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
was called and use different checks depending on the context.
Add the new argument to distinguish 2 callers.

Change prepare_uretprobe() to flush the !arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
return_instance's. This is not needed correctness-wise, but can help
to avoid the failure caused by MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH.

Note: in this case arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can be false
positive, the stack can grow after longjmp(). Unfortunately, the
kernel can't 100% solve this problem, but see the next patch.

<title>uprobes: Change handle_trampoline() to flush the frames invalidated by longjmp()</title>

<id>5eeb50de42fd3251845d03c556db012267c72b3f</id>

Test-case:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;setjmp.h&gt;

	jmp_buf jmp;

	void func_2(void)
	{
		longjmp(jmp, 1);
	}

	void func_1(void)
	{
		if (setjmp(jmp))
			return;
		func_2();
		printf("ERR!! I am running on the caller's stack\n");
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		func_1();
		return 0;
	}

fails if you probe func_1() and func_2() because
handle_trampoline() assumes that the probed function should must
return and hit the bp installed be prepare_uretprobe(). But in
this case func_2() does not return, so when func_1() returns the
kernel uses the no longer valid return_instance of func_2().

Change handle_trampoline() to unwind -&gt;return_instances until we
know that the next chain is alive or NULL, this ensures that the
current chain is the last we need to report and free.

Alternatively, every return_instance could use unique
trampoline_vaddr, in this case we could use it as a key. And
this could solve the problem with sigaltstack() automatically.

But this approach needs more changes, and it puts the "hard"
limit on MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH. Plus it can not solve another
problem partially fixed by the next patch.

Note: this change has no effect on !x86, the arch-agnostic
version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive() just returns "true".

TODO: as documented by the previous change, arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
      can be fooled by sigaltstack/etc.

<title>uprobes/x86: Reimplement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()</title>

Add the x86 specific version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
helper. It returns true if the stack frame mangled by
prepare_uretprobe() is still on stack. So if it returns false,
we know that the probed function has already returned.

We add the new return_instance-&gt;stack member and change the
generic code to initialize it in prepare_uretprobe, but it
should be equally useful for other architectures.

TODO: this assumes that the probed application can't use
      multiple stacks (say sigaltstack). We will try to improve
      this logic later.
