From d55c571e4333fac71826e8db3b9753fadfbead6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2026 16:00:37 +0100 Subject: x86/uprobes: Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks This script #!/usr/bin/bash echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space echo 'void main(void) {}' > TEST.c # -fcf-protection to ensure that the 1st endbr32 insn can't be emulated gcc -m32 -fcf-protection=branch TEST.c -o test bpftrace -e 'uprobe:./test:main {}' -c ./test "hangs", the probed ./test task enters an endless loop. The problem is that with randomize_va_space == 0 get_unmapped_area(TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) called by xol_add_vma() can not just return the "addr == TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE" hint, this addr is used by the stack vma. arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() doesn't take TIF_ADDR32 into account and in_32bit_syscall() is false, this leads to info.high_limit > TASK_SIZE. vm_unmapped_area() happily returns the high address > TASK_SIZE and then get_unmapped_area() returns -ENOMEM after the "if (addr > TASK_SIZE - len)" check. handle_swbp() doesn't report this failure (probably it should) and silently restarts the probed insn. Endless loop. I think that the right fix should change the x86 get_unmapped_area() paths to rely on TIF_ADDR32 rather than in_32bit_syscall(). Note also that if CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI=y, in_x32_syscall() falsely returns true in this case because ->orig_ax = -1. But we need a simple fix for -stable, so this patch just sets TS_COMPAT if the probed task is 32-bit to make in_ia32_syscall() true.
