Hi,
I notice this commit as a possible culprit of the illegal instructions my lttng users are noticing on arm32 when using kprobes on a v4.19.13 Linux kernel in a Yocto environment [1]. They were able to reproduce the issue with perf as well.
commit e46daee53bb50bde38805f1823a182979724c229 Author: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org Date: Tue Oct 30 22:12:56 2018 +0100
ARM: 8806/1: kprobes: Fix false positive with FORTIFY_SOURCEI *think* the intent there was to do
memcpy(code, &optprobe_template_entry,
memcpy(code, (unsigned long *)&optprobe_template_entry,But if you look at the commit, the "&" seems to have been stripped away, which happens to change the behavior significantly.
Yeah, this was a typo on my part. :(
Ah, I thought it had been fixed as same as x86. On x86, all optprobe_template_* are defined as kprobe_opcode_t [], but on arm, it still be kprobe_opcode_t.
Hmm, but I think we should use kprobe_opcode_t [] or char[] as asm/sections.h does. OK, I'll prepare for the change.
Did this ever get fixed in Linus's tree? If so, what is the git commit id, I can't seem to find anything...
thanks,
