When arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe calculating jump destination address,
it copies original instructions from jmp-optimized kprobe (see
__recover_optprobed_insn), and calculated based on length of original
instruction.

arch_check_optimized_kprobe does not check KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMATED when
checking whether jmp-optimized kprobe exists.
As a result, setup_detour_execution may jump to a range that has been
overwritten by jump destination address, resulting in an inval opcode error.

OK, good catch !! I missed "delayed unoptimization" case here too.


For example, assume that register two kprobes whose addresses are
<func+9> and <func+11> in "func" function.
The original code of "func" function is as follows:

0xffffffff816cb5e9 <+9>: push %r12
0xffffffff816cb5eb <+11>: xor %r12d,%r12d
0xffffffff816cb5ee <+14>: test %rdi,%rdi
0xffffffff816cb5f1 <+17>: setne %r12b
0xffffffff816cb5f5 <+21>: push %rbp

1.Register the kprobe for <func+11>, assume that is kp1, corresponding optimized_kprobe is op1.
After the optimization, "func" code changes to:

0xffffffff816cc079 <+9>: push %r12
0xffffffff816cc07b <+11>: jmp 0xffffffffa0210000
0xffffffff816cc080 <+16>: incl 0xf(%rcx)
0xffffffff816cc083 <+19>: xchg %eax,%ebp
0xffffffff816cc084 <+20>: (bad)
0xffffffff816cc085 <+21>: push %rbp

Now op1->flags == KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMATED;

2. Register the kprobe for <func+9>, assume that is kp2, corresponding optimized_kprobe is op2.

register_kprobe(kp2)
register_aggr_kprobe
alloc_aggr_kprobe
__prepare_optimized_kprobe
arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe
__recover_optprobed_insn // copy original bytes from kp1->optinsn.copied_insn,
// jump address = <func+14>

3. disable kp1:

disable_kprobe(kp1)
__disable_kprobe
...
if (p == orig_p || aggr_kprobe_disabled(orig_p)) {
ret = disarm_kprobe(orig_p, true) // add op1 in unoptimizing_list, not unoptimized
orig_p->flags |= KPROBE_FLAG_DISABLED; // op1->flags == KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMATED | KPROBE_FLAG_DISABLED
...

4. unregister kp2
__unregister_kprobe_top
...
if (!kprobe_disabled(ap) && !kprobes_all_disarmed) {
optimize_kprobe(op)
...
if (arch_check_optimized_kprobe(op) < 0) // because op1 has KPROBE_FLAG_DISABLED, here not return
return;
p->kp.flags |= KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED; // now op2 has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED
}

"func" code now is:

0xffffffff816cc079 <+9>: int3
0xffffffff816cc07a <+10>: push %rsp
0xffffffff816cc07b <+11>: jmp 0xffffffffa0210000
0xffffffff816cc080 <+16>: incl 0xf(%rcx)
0xffffffff816cc083 <+19>: xchg %eax,%ebp
0xffffffff816cc084 <+20>: (bad)
0xffffffff816cc085 <+21>: push %rbp

5. if call "func", int3 handler call setup_detour_execution:

if (p->flags & KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED) {
...
regs->ip = (unsigned long)op->optinsn.insn + TMPL_END_IDX;
...
}

The code for the destination address is

0xffffffffa021072c: push %r12
0xffffffffa021072e: xor %r12d,%r12d
0xffffffffa0210731: jmp 0xffffffff816cb5ee <func+14>

However, <func+14> is not a valid start instruction address. As a result, an error occurs.

OK, it has been introduced by the same commit as previous one. (delayed unoptimization)


OK, will add "Fixes: f66c0447cca1 ("kprobes: Set unoptimized flag after unoptimizing code")" in next version

In addition, "
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is required, same as the previous patch.

Hmm, can you rewrite this with kprobe_disarmed() instead of kprobe_disabled()?
Since this is checking there are any other kprobes are "armed" on the address
where it will be replaced by jump. So it is natural to use "disarmed" check.


Yes, It is better to change it to use "kprobe_disarmed", will modify in next version.

Thanks,
Yang
