mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.6-rc6 commit e53899771a02f798d436655efbd9d4b46c0f9265 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I94P3R CVE: CVE-2023-52476
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
We found that a panic can occur when a vsyscall is made while LBR sampling is active. If the vsyscall is interrupted (NMI) for perf sampling, this call sequence can occur (most recent at top):
__insn_get_emulate_prefix() insn_get_emulate_prefix() insn_get_prefixes() insn_get_opcode() decode_branch_type() get_branch_type() intel_pmu_lbr_filter() intel_pmu_handle_irq() perf_event_nmi_handler()
Within __insn_get_emulate_prefix() at frame 0, a macro is called:
peek_nbyte_next(insn_byte_t, insn, i)
Within this macro, this dereference occurs:
(insn)->next_byte
Inspecting registers at this point, the value of the next_byte field is the address of the vsyscall made, for example the location of the vsyscall version of gettimeofday() at 0xffffffffff600000. The access to an address in the vsyscall region will trigger an oops due to an unhandled page fault.
To fix the bug, filtering for vsyscalls can be done when determining the branch type. This patch will return a "none" branch if a kernel address if found to lie in the vsyscall region.
