This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled MIPS: Don't unwind to user mode with EVA to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/linux/+git/linux-stable-ckt/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt12. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 4.2.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 5143376cdcb2977149e3a4e2165c0ba6a5535138 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2015 22:25:01 +0000 Subject: MIPS: Don't unwind to user mode with EVA commit a816b306c62195b7c43c92cb13330821a96bdc27 upstream. When unwinding through IRQs and exceptions, the unwinding only continues if the PC is a kernel text address, however since EVA it is possible for user and kernel address ranges to overlap, potentially allowing unwinding to continue to user mode if the user PC happens to be in the kernel text address range. Adjust the check to also ensure that the register state from before the exception is actually running in kernel mode, i.e. !user_mode(regs). I don't believe any harm can come of this problem, since the PC is only output, the stack pointer is checked to ensure it resides within the task's stack page before it is dereferenced in search of the return address, and the return address register is similarly only output (if the PC is in a leaf function or the beginning of a non-leaf function). However unwind_stack() is only meant for unwinding kernel code, so to be correct the unwind should stop there.
