kretprobe: Prevent triggering kretprobe from within kprobe_flush_task
Ziqian reported lockup when adding retprobe on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave. My test was also able to trigger lockdep output: ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 5.6.0-rc6+ #6 Not tainted -------------------------------------------- sched-messaging/2767 is trying to acquire lock: ffffffff9a492798 (&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)){-.-.}, at: kretprobe_hash_lock+0x52/0xa0 but task is already holding lock: ffffffff9a491a18 (&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)){-.-.}, at: kretprobe_trampoline+0x0/0x50 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)); lock(&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 1 lock held by sched-messaging/2767: #0: ffffffff9a491a18 (&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)){-.-.}, at: kretprobe_trampoline+0x0/0x50 stack backtrace: CPU: 3 PID: 2767 Comm: sched-messaging Not tainted 5.6.0-rc6+ #6 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x96/0xe0 __lock_acquire.cold.57+0x173/0x2b7 ? native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x42b/0x9e0 ? lockdep_hardirqs_on+0x590/0x590 ? __lock_acquire+0xf63/0x4030 lock_acquire+0x15a/0x3d0 ? kretprobe_hash_lock+0x52/0xa0 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x36/0x70 ? kretprobe_hash_lock+0x52/0xa0 kretprobe_hash_lock+0x52/0xa0 trampoline_handler+0xf8/0x940 ? kprobe_fault_handler+0x380/0x380 ? find_held_lock+0x3a/0x1c0 kretprobe_trampoline+0x25/0x50 ? lock_acquired+0x392/0xbc0 ? _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x50/0x70 ? __get_valid_kprobe+0x1f0/0x1f0 ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x3b/0x40 ? finish_task_switch+0x4b9/0x6d0 ? __switch_to_asm+0x34/0x70 ? __switch_to_asm+0x40/0x70 The code within the kretprobe handler checks for probe reentrancy, so we won't trigger any _raw_spin_lock_irqsave probe in there. The problem is in outside kprobe_flush_task, where we call: kprobe_flush_task kretprobe_table_lock raw_spin_lock_irqsave _raw_spin_lock_irqsave where _raw_spin_lock_irqsave triggers the kretprobe and installs kretprobe_trampoline handler on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave return. The kretprobe_trampoline handler is then executed with already locked kretprobe_table_locks, and first thing it does is to lock kretprobe_table_locks ;-) the whole lockup path like: kprobe_flush_task kretprobe_table_lock raw_spin_lock_irqsave _raw_spin_lock_irqsave ---> probe triggered, kretprobe_trampoline installed ---> kretprobe_table_locks locked kretprobe_trampoline trampoline_handler kretprobe_hash_lock(current, &head, &flags); <--- deadlock Adding kprobe_busy_begin/end helpers that mark code with fake probe installed to prevent triggering of another kprobe within this code. Using these helpers in kprobe_flush_task, so the probe recursion protection check is hit and the probe is never set to prevent above lockup.
