[PATCH] x86/kprobes: Set up frame pointer in kprobe trampoline

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Tue Oct 03 2017 - 09:52:33 EST


Richard Weinberger saw an unwinder warning when running bcc's opensnoop:

WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffff99ef4076bea0 in opensnoop:2008 has bad value 0000000000000008
unwind stack type:0 next_sp: (null) mask:0x2 graph_idx:0
...
ffff99ef4076be88: ffff99ef4076bea0 (0xffff99ef4076bea0)
ffff99ef4076be90: ffffffffac442721 (optimized_callback +0x81/0x90)
...

A lockdep stack trace was initiated from inside a kprobe handler, when
the unwinder noticed a bad frame pointer on the stack. The bad frame
pointer is related to the fact that the kprobe optprobe trampoline
doesn't save the frame pointer before calling into optimized_callback().
