See the previous "Emulate unconditional relative jmp's" which explains
why we can not execute "jmp" out-of-line, the same applies to "call".
Emulating of rip-relative call is trivial, we only need to additionally
push the ret-address. If this fails, we execute this instruction out of
line and this should trigger the trap, the probed application should die
or the same insn will be restarted if a signal handler expands the stack.
We do not even need ->post_xol() for this case.
But there is a corner (and almost theoretical) case: another thread can
expand the stack right before we execute this insn out of line. In this
case it hit the same problem we are trying to solve. So we simply turn
the probed insn into "call 1f; 1:" and add ->post_xol() which restores
->sp and restarts.
Many thanks to Jonathan who finally found the standalone reproducer,
otherwise I would never resolve the "random SIGSEGV's under systemtap"
bug-report. Now that the problem is clear we can write the simplified
test-case:
void probe_func(void), callee(void);
int failed = 1;
asm (
".text\n"
".align 4096\n"
".globl probe_func\n"
"probe_func:\n"
"call callee\n"
"ret"
);
/*
* This assumes that:
*
* - &probe_func = 0x401000 + a_bit, aligned = 0x402000
*
* - xol_vma->vm_start = TASK_SIZE_MAX - PAGE_SIZE = 0x7fffffffe000
* as xol_add_vma() asks; the 1st slot = 0x7fffffffe080
*
* so we can target the non-canonical address from xol_vma using
* the simple math below, 100 * 4096 is just the random offset
*/
asm (".org . + 0x800000000000 - 0x7fffffffe080 - 5 - 1 + 100 * 4096\n");
void callee(void)
{
failed = 0;
}
int main(void)
{
probe_func();
return failed;
}
It SIGSEGV's if you probe "probe_func" (although this is not very reliable,
randomize_va_space/etc can change the placement of xol area).
Note: as Denys Vlasenko pointed out, amd and intel treat "callw" (0x66 0xe8)
differently. This patch relies on lib/insn.c and thus implements the intel's
behaviour: 0x66 is simply ignored. Fortunately nothing sane should ever use
this insn, so we postpone the fix until we decide what should we do; emulate
or not, support or not, etc.
