[ Upstream commit b3ea5d56f212ad81328c82454829a736197ebccc ]

Currently the stacktrace on clang compiled arm kernel uses the 'lr'
register to find the first frame address from pt_regs. However, that
is wrong after calling another function, because the 'lr' register
is used by 'bl' instruction and never be recovered.

As same as gcc arm kernel, directly use the frame pointer (r11) of
the pt_regs to find the first frame address.

Note that this fixes kretprobe stacktrace issue only with
CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER=y. For the CONFIG_UNWINDER_ARM,
we need another fix.

[ Upstream commit 40ff1ddb5570284e039e0ff14d7a859a73dc3673 ]

The stacktrace code can read beyond the stack size, when it attempts to
read pt_regs from exception frames.

This can happen on normal, non-corrupt stacks.  Since the unwind
information in the extable is not correct for function prologues, the
unwinding code can return data from the stack which is not actually the
caller function address, and if in_entry_text() happens to succeed on
this value, we can end up reading data from outside the task's stack
when attempting to read pt_regs, since there is no bounds check.

Example:

 [&lt;8010e729&gt;] (unwind_backtrace) from [&lt;8010a9c9&gt;] (show_stack+0x11/0x14)
 [&lt;8010a9c9&gt;] (show_stack) from [&lt;8057d8d7&gt;] (dump_stack+0x87/0xac)

commit b4d5ec9b39f8b31d98f65bc5577b5d15d93795d7 upstream.

Since clang does not push pc and sp in function prologues, the current
implementation of unwind_frame does not work. By using the previous
frame's lr/fp instead of saved pc/sp we get valid unwinds on clang-built
kernels.

The bounds check on next frame pointer must be changed as well since
there are 8 less bytes between frames.

This fixes /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/stack.

Avoid adding kprobes to any of the kernel entry/exit or startup
assembly code, or code in the identity-mapped region.  This code does
not conform to the standard C conventions, which means that the
expectations of the kprobes code is not forfilled.

Placing kprobes at some of these locations results in the kernel trying
to return to userspace addresses while retaining the CPU in kernel mode.

The kernel watchdog is a great debugging tool for finding tasks that
consume a disproportionate amount of CPU time in contiguous chunks. One
can imagine building a similar watchdog for arbitrary driver threads
using save_stack_trace_tsk() and print_stack_trace(). However, this is
not viable for dynamically loaded driver modules on ARM platforms
because save_stack_trace_tsk() is not exported for those architectures.
Export save_stack_trace_tsk() for the ARM architecture to align with
x86 and support various debugging use cases such as arbitrary driver
thread watchdog timers.

<content type='text'>
When configure kprobe events of ftrace with "stacktrace" option enabled
in arm, there is no stacktrace was recorded after the kprobe event was
triggered. The root cause is no save_stack_trace_regs() function implemented.

Implement the save_stack_trace_regs() function in arm, then ftrace will
call this architecture-related function to record the stacktrace into
ring buffer.

After this fix, stacktrace can be recorded, for example:

 # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 # echo "p:netrx net_rx_action" &gt;&gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/netrx/enable
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
 # ping 127.0.0.1 -c 1
 # echo 0 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 12/12   #P:1
 #

When configure kprobe events of ftrace with "stacktrace" option enabled
in arm, there is no stacktrace was recorded after the kprobe event was
triggered. The root cause is no save_stack_trace_regs() function implemented.

Implement the save_stack_trace_regs() function in arm, then ftrace will
call this architecture-related function to record the stacktrace into
ring buffer.

After this fix, stacktrace can be recorded, for example:

 # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 # echo "p:netrx net_rx_action" &gt;&gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/netrx/enable
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
 # ping 127.0.0.1 -c 1
 # echo 0 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 12/12   #P:1
 #
 #                              _-----=&gt; irqs-off

When we unwind through an exception stack, include the saved PC value
into the stack trace: this fills in an otherwise missed functions from
the trace (as indicated below):

<title>ARM: stacktrace: avoid listing stacktrace functions in stacktrace</title>

While debugging the FEC ethernet driver using stacktrace, it was noticed
that the stacktraces always begin as follows:

 [&lt;c00117b4&gt;] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x0/0x98
 [&lt;c0011870&gt;] save_stack_trace+0x24/0x28
 ...

This is because the stack trace code includes the stack frames for itself.
This is incorrect behaviour, and also leads to "skip" doing the wrong
thing (which is the number of stack frames to avoid recording.)

Perversely, it does the right thing when passed a non-current thread.  Fix
this by ensuring that we have a known constant number of frames above the
main stack trace function, and always skip these.
