[PATCH v6 20/36] function_graph: Improve push operation for several interrupts

Date: Fri Jan 12 2024 - 05:18:06 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Improve push and data reserve operation on the shadow stack for
several sequencial interrupts.

To push a ret_stack or data entry on the shadow stack, we need to
prepare an index (offset) entry before updating the stack pointer
(curr_ret_stack) so that unwinder from interrupts can find the
next return address from the shadow stack. Currently we do write index,
update the curr_ret_stack, and rewrite it again. But that is not enough
for the case if two interrupts happens and the first one breaks it.
For example,

1. write reserved index entry at ret_stack[new_index - 1] and ret addr.
2. interrupt comes.
2.1. push new index and ret addr on ret_stack.
2.2. pop it. (corrupt entries on new_index - 1)
3. return from interrupt.
4. update curr_ret_stack = new_index
5. interrupt comes again.
5.1. unwind <------ may not work.

To avoid this issue, this introduces a new rsrv_ret_stack stack
reservation pointer and a new push code (slow path) to commit
previous reserved code forcibly.

0. update rsrv_ret_stack = new_index.
1. write reserved index entry at ret_stack[new_index - 1] and ret addr.
2. interrupt comes.
2.0. if rsrv_ret_stack != curr_ret_stack, add reserved index
entry on ret_stack[rsrv_ret_stack - 1] to point the previous
ret_stack pointed by ret_stack[curr_ret_stack - 1]. and
update curr_ret_stack = rsrv_ret_stack.
2.1. push new index and ret addr on ret_stack.
2.2. pop it. (corrupt entries on new_index - 1)
3. return from interrupt.
4. update curr_ret_stack = new_index
5. interrupt comes again.
5.1. unwind works, because curr_ret_stack points the previously
saved ret_stack.
5.2. this can do push/pop operations too.
6. return from interrupt.
7. rewrite reserved index entry at ret_stack[new_index] again.

This maybe a bit heavier but safer.
