From: Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com
[ Upstream commit 42fc6c6cb1662ba2fa727dd01c9473c63be4e3b6 ]
Andrey Konovalov reported the following warning while fuzzing the kernel with syzkaller:
WARNING: kernel stack regs at ffff8800686869f8 in a.out:4933 has bad 'bp' value c3fc855a10167ec0
The unwinder dump revealed that RBP had a bad value when an interrupt occurred in csum_partial_copy_generic().
That function saves RBP on the stack and then overwrites it, using it as a scratch register. That's problematic because it breaks stack traces if an interrupt occurs in the middle of the function.
Replace the usage of RBP with another callee-saved register (R15) so stack traces are no longer affected.
