Vincent Whitchurch 47634c0fc9 ARM: 8948/1: Prevent OOB access in stacktrace
[ Upstream commit 40ff1ddb5570284e039e0ff14d7a859a73dc3673 ]

The stacktrace code can read beyond the stack size, when it attempts to
read pt_regs from exception frames.

This can happen on normal, non-corrupt stacks.  Since the unwind
information in the extable is not correct for function prologues, the
unwinding code can return data from the stack which is not actually the
caller function address, and if in_entry_text() happens to succeed on
this value, we can end up reading data from outside the task's stack
when attempting to read pt_regs, since there is no bounds check.

Example:

 [<8010e729>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<8010a9c9>] (show_stack+0x11/0x14)
 [<8010a9c9>] (show_stack) from [<8057d8d7>] (dump_stack+0x87/0xac)
 [<8057d8d7>] (dump_stack) from [<8012271d>] (tasklet_action_common.constprop.4+0xa5/0xa8)
 [<8012271d>] (tasklet_action_common.constprop.4) from [<80102333>] (__do_softirq+0x11b/0x31c)
 [<80102333>] (__do_softirq) from [<80122485>] (irq_exit+0xad/0xd8)
 [<80122485>] (irq_exit) from [<8015f3d7>] (__handle_domain_irq+0x47/0x84)
 [<8015f3d7>] (__handle_domain_irq) from [<8036a523>] (gic_handle_irq+0x43/0x78)
 [<8036a523>] (gic_handle_irq) from [<80101a49>] (__irq_svc+0x69/0xb4)
 Exception stack(0xeb491f58 to 0xeb491fa0)
 1f40:                                                       7eb14794 00000000
 1f60: ffffffff 008dd32c 008dd324 ffffffff 008dd314 0000002a 801011e4 eb490000
 1f80: 0000002a 7eb1478c 50c5387d eb491fa8 80101001 8023d09c 40080033 ffffffff
 [<80101a49>] (__irq_svc) from [<8023d09c>] (do_pipe2+0x0/0xac)
 [<8023d09c>] (do_pipe2) from [<ffffffff>] (0xffffffff)
 Exception stack(0xeb491fc8 to 0xeb492010)
 1fc0:                   008dd314 0000002a 00511ad8 008de4c8 7eb14790 7eb1478c
 1fe0: 00511e34 7eb14774 004c8557 76f44098 60080030 7eb14794 00000000 00000000
 2000: 00000001 00000000 ea846c00 ea847cc0

In this example, the stack limit is 0xeb492000, but 16 bytes outside the
stack have been read.

Fix it by adding bounds checks.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
