[ Upstream commit 6c881ca0b3040f3e724eae513117ba4ddef86057 ]
To quote Alexey[1]:
I was adding custom tracepoint to the kernel, grabbed full F34 kernel
.config, disabled modules and booted whole shebang as VM kernel.
Then did
perf record -a -e ...
It crashed:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x435f5346592e4243: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 1 PID: 842 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.12.6+ #26
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1.fc33 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:t_show+0x22/0xd0
Then reproducer was narrowed to
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/printk_formats
Original F34 kernel with modules didn't crash.
So I started to disable options and after disabling AFS everything
started working again.
The root cause is that AFS was placing char arrays content into a
section full of _pointers_ to strings with predictable consequences.
Non canonical address 435f5346592e4243 is "CB.YFS_" which came from
CM_NAME macro.
Steps to reproduce:
CONFIG_AFS=y
CONFIG_TRACING=y
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/printk_formats
Fix this by the following means:
(1) Add enum->string translation tables in the event header with the AFS
and YFS cache/callback manager operations listed by RPC operation ID.
(2) Modify the afs_cb_call tracepoint to print the string from the
translation table rather than using the string at the afs_call name
pointer.
(3) Switch translation table depending on the service we're being accessed
as (AFS or YFS) in the tracepoint print clause. Will this cause
problems to userspace utilities?
Note that the symbolic representation of the YFS service ID isn't
available to this header, so I've put it in as a number. I'm not sure
if this is the best way to do this.
(4) Remove the name wrangling (CM_NAME) macro and put the names directly
into the afs_call_type structs in cmservice.c.
