x86/dumpstack: Remove kernel text addresses from stack dump 2016-10-25T16:40:37+00:00 Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com 2016-10-25T14:51:12+00:00 bb5e5ce545f2031c96f7901cd8d1698ea3ca4c9c 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: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: sysrq_handle_crash+0x45/0x80 PGD 36bfa067 [ 29.650644] PUD 7aca3067 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: ...

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:
