x86/dumpstack: Make stack name tags more comprehensible

2016-11-21T12:00:42+00:00

NMI stack dumps are bracketed by the following tags:

  
  ...
  

The ending tag is kind of confusing if you don't already know what "EOE"
means (end of exception).  The same ending tag is also used to mark the
end of all other exceptions' stacks.  For example:

  <#DF>
  ...
  

And similarly, "EOI" is used as the ending tag for interrupts:

  
  ...
  

Change the tags to be more comprehensible by making them symmetrical and
more XML-esque:

  
  ...
  

  <#DF>
  ...
  

  
  ...

x86/dumpstack: Prevent KASAN false positive warnings

2016-11-18T08:38:00+00:00

The oops stack dump code scans the entire stack, which can cause KASAN
"stack-out-of-bounds" false positive warnings.  Tell KASAN to ignore it.

x86/dumpstack: Handle NULL stack pointer in show_trace_log_lvl()

2016-11-17T06:48:39+00:00

When show_trace_log_lvl() is called from show_regs(), it completely
fails to dump the stack.  This bug was introduced when
show_stack_log_lvl() was removed with the following commit:

  0ee1dd9f5e7e ("x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump")

Previous callers of that function now call show_trace_log_lvl()
directly.  That resulted in a subtle change, in that the 'stack'
argument can now be NULL in certain cases.

A NULL 'stack' pointer means that the stack dump should start from the
topmost stack frame unless 'regs' is valid, in which case it should
start from 'regs->sp'.

x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump

2016-10-25T16:40:37+00:00

For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack
values:

  ...
  [registers]
  Stack:
   ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0
   ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321
   0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000
  Call Trace:
  ...

This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed
anymore.  It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be
actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses.

Linus says:

  "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be
   useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because
   stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I
   definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having
   used them in the last ten+ years.

   Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've
   likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so
   useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above
   harder."

This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the
'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.

x86/dumpstack: Remove kernel text addresses from stack dump

2016-10-25T16:40:37+00:00

Printing kernel text addresses in stack dumps is of questionable value,
especially now that address randomization is becoming common.

It can be a security issue because it leaks kernel addresses.  It also
affects the usefulness of the stack dump.  Linus says:

  "I actually spend time cleaning up commit messages in logs, because
  useless data that isn't actually information (random hex numbers) is
  actively detrimental.

  It makes commit logs less legible.

  It also makes it harder to parse dumps.

  It's not useful. That makes it actively bad.

  I probably look at more oops reports than most people. I have not
  found the hex numbers useful for the last five years, because they are
  just randomized crap.

  The stack content thing just makes code scroll off the screen etc, for
  example."

The only real downside to removing these addresses is that they can be
used to disambiguate duplicate symbol names.  However such cases are
rare, and the context of the stack dump should be enough to be able to
figure it out.

There's now a 'faddr2line' script which can be used to convert a
function address to a file name and line:

  $ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60
  write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60:
  write_sysrq_trigger at drivers/tty/sysrq.c:1098

Or gdb can be used:

  $ echo "list *write_sysrq_trigger+0x51" |gdb ~/k/vmlinux |grep "is in"
  (gdb) 0xffffffff815b5d83 is in driver_probe_device (/home/jpoimboe/git/linux/drivers/base/dd.c:378).

(But note that when there are duplicate symbol names, gdb will only show
the first symbol it finds.  faddr2line is recommended over gdb because
it handles duplicates and it also does function size checking.)

Here's an example of what a stack dump looks like after this change:

x86/dumpstack: Print stack identifier on its own line

2016-10-21T07:26:04+00:00

show_trace_log_lvl() prints the stack id (e.g. "") without a
newline so that any stack address printed after it will appear on the
same line.  That causes the first stack address to be vertically
misaligned with the rest, making it visually cluttered and slightly
confusing:

  Call Trace:
    [] dump_stack+0x86/0xc3
   [] perf_callchain_kernel+0x14b/0x160
   [] get_perf_callchain+0x15f/0x2b0
   ...
    [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x33/0x60
   [] finish_task_switch+0xb4/0x250
   [] do_async_page_fault+0x2c/0xa0

It will look worse once we start printing pt_regs registers found in the
middle of the stack:

   RIP: 0010:[]  [] _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x33/0x60
  RSP: 0018:ffff88007876f720  EFLAGS: 00000206
  RAX: ffff8800786caa40 RBX: ffff88007d5da140 RCX: 0000000000000007
  ...

Improve readability by adding a newline to the stack name:

  Call Trace:
   
   [] dump_stack+0x86/0xc3
   [] perf_callchain_kernel+0x14b/0x160
   [] get_perf_callchain+0x15f/0x2b0

   [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x33/0x60
   [] finish_task_switch+0xb4/0x250
   [] do_async_page_fault+0x2c/0xa0

Now that "continued" lines are no longer needed, we can also remove the
hack of using the empty string (aka KERN_CONT) and replace it with
KERN_DEFAULT.
