[PATCH v2] x86/unwind/orc: fix inactive tasks with stack pointer in %sp

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Wed Oct 14 2020 - 01:39:51 EST


gcc 10 optimizes the scheduler code differently than its predecessors.
When DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH config is enabled, Makefile forces gcc not
to inline some functions (-fno-inline-functions-called-once). Before gcc
10, "no-inlined" __schedule starts with the usual prologue (push %bp; mov
%sp,%bp). So ORC unwinder simply picks stack pointer from %bp and
unwinds from __schedule just perfectly:
$ cat /proc/1/stack
[<0>] ep_poll+0x3e9/0x450
[<0>] do_epoll_wait+0xaa/0xc0
[<0>] __x64_sys_epoll_wait+0x1a/0x20
[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x33/0x40
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

But now, with gcc 10, there is no %bp prologue in __schedule:
$ cat /proc/1/stack
<nothing>

The orc entry of the point in __schedule is:
sp:sp+88 bp:last_sp-48 type:call end:0

In this case, nobody subtracts sizeof "struct inactive_task_frame" in
__unwind_start. The struct is put on the stack by __switch_to_asm and
only then __switch_to_asm stores %sp to task->thread.sp. But we start
unwinding from a point in __schedule (stored in frame->ret_addr by
'call') and not in __switch_to_asm.

So for these example values in __unwind_start:
sp=ffff94b50001fdc8 bp=ffff8e1f41d29340 ip=__schedule+0x1f0

The stack is:
ffff94b50001fdc8: ffff8e1f41578000 # struct inactive_task_frame
ffff94b50001fdd0: 0000000000000000
ffff94b50001fdd8: ffff8e1f41d29340
ffff94b50001fde0: ffff8e1f41611d40 # ...
ffff94b50001fde8: ffffffff93c41920 # bx
ffff94b50001fdf0: ffff8e1f41d29340 # bp
ffff94b50001fdf8: ffffffff9376cad0 # ret_addr (and end of the struct)

0xffffffff9376cad0 is __schedule+0x1f0 (after the call to
__switch_to_asm). Now follow those 88 bytes from the ORC entry (sp+88).
The entry is correct, __schedule really pushes 48 bytes (8*7) + 32 bytes
via subq to store some local values (like 4U below). So to unwind, look
at the offset 88-sizeof(long) = 0x50 from here:

ffff94b50001fe00: ffff8e1f41578618
ffff94b50001fe08: 00000cc000000255
ffff94b50001fe10: 0000000500000004
ffff94b50001fe18: 7793fab6956b2d00 # NOTE (see below)
ffff94b50001fe20: ffff8e1f41578000
ffff94b50001fe28: ffff8e1f41578000
ffff94b50001fe30: ffff8e1f41578000
ffff94b50001fe38: ffff8e1f41578000
ffff94b50001fe40: ffff94b50001fed8
ffff94b50001fe48: ffff8e1f41577ff0
ffff94b50001fe50: ffffffff9376cf12

Here ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is the correct ret addr from
__schedule. It translates to schedule+0x42 (insn after a call to
__schedule).

BUT, unwind_next_frame tries to take the address starting from
0xffff94b50001fdc8. That is exactly from thread.sp+88-sizeof(long) =
0xffff94b50001fdc8+88-8 = 0xffff94b50001fe18, which is garbage marked as
NOTE above. So this quits the unwinding as 7793fab6956b2d00 is obviously
not a kernel address.

There was a fix to skip 'struct inactive_task_frame' in
unwind_get_return_address_ptr in commit 187b96db5ca7 ("x86/unwind/orc:
Fix unwind_get_return_address_ptr() for inactive tasks").

But we need to skip the struct already in the unwinder proper. So
subtract the size (increase the stack pointer) of the structure in
__unwind_start directly. This allows for removal of the code added by
commit 187b96db5ca7 completely, as the address is now at
'(unsigned long *)state->sp - 1', the same as in the generic case.
