Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv: fgraph: Fix stack layout to match __arch_ftrace_regs argument of ftrace_return_to_handler

Naresh Kamboju reported a "Bad frame pointer" kernel warning while running LTP trace ftrace_stress_test.sh in riscv. We can reproduce the same issue with the following command:

$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo 'f:myprobe do_nanosleep%return args1=$retval' > dynamic_events $ echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable $ echo 1 > tracing_on $ sleep 1

And we can get the following kernel warning:

The reason is that the stack layout for constructing argument for the ftrace_return_to_handler in the return_to_handler does not match the __arch_ftrace_regs structure of riscv, leading to unexpected results.
