From 8b405d5c5d0996d3d16f70c42744a0500f5b6ec3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2017 11:13:37 +0200 Subject: locking/lockdep: Fix stacktrace mess There is some complication between check_prevs_add() and check_prev_add() wrt. saving stack traces. The problem is that we want to be frugal with saving stack traces, since it consumes static resources. We'll only know in check_prev_add() if we need the trace, but we can call into it multiple times. So we want to do on-demand and re-use. A further complication is that check_prev_add() can drop graph_lock and mess with our static resources. In any case, the current state; after commit: ce07a9415f26 ("locking/lockdep: Make check_prev_add() able to handle external stack_trace") is that we'll assume the trace contains valid data once check_prev_add() returns '2'. However, as noted by Josh, this is false, check_prev_add() can return '2' before having saved a trace, this then result in the possibility of using uninitialized data. Testing, as reported by Wu, shows a NULL deref. So simplify. Since the graph_lock() thing is a debug path that hasn't really been used in a long while, take it out back and avoid the head-ache. Further initialize the stack_trace to a known 'empty' state; as long as nr_entries == 0, nothing should deref entries. We can then use the 'entries == NULL' test for a valid trace / on-demand saving.
