Hello Kees,
When I try to run the crash tool on my s390 live system I get a kernel panic
when reading memory within the kernel image:
# uname -a

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops
With CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY copy_to_user() checks in __check_object_size()
if the source address is within the kernel image:
- __check_object_size() -> check_kernel_text_object():
/* Is this address range in the kernel text area? */
static inline const char *check_kernel_text_object(const void *ptr,
unsigned long n)
{
unsigned long textlow = (unsigned long)_stext;
unsigned long texthigh = (unsigned long)_etext;
unsigned long textlow_linear, texthigh_linear;
if (overlaps(ptr, n, textlow, texthigh))
return "<kernel text>";
When the crash tool reads from 0x100000, this check leads to the kernel BUG()
in drivers/char/mem.c:
144 } else {
145 /*
146 * On ia64 if a page has been mapped somewhere as
147 * uncached, then it must also be accessed uncached
148 * by the kernel or data corruption may occur.
149 */
150 ptr = xlate_dev_mem_ptr(p);
151 if (!ptr)
152 return -EFAULT;
153
154 remaining = copy_to_user(buf, ptr, sz); <<<---- BUG
155
156 unxlate_dev_mem_ptr(p, ptr);
157 }
Here the reporting function in mm/usercopy.c:
61 static void report_usercopy(const void *ptr, unsigned long len,
62 bool to_user, const char *type)
63 {
64 pr_emerg("kernel memory %s attempt detected %s %p (%s) (%lu bytes)\n",
65 to_user ? "exposure" : "overwrite",
66 to_user ? "from" : "to", ptr, type ? : "unknown", len);
67 /*
68 * For greater effect, it would be nice to do do_group_exit(),
69 * but BUG() actually hooks all the lock-breaking and per-arch
70 * Oops code, so that is used here instead.
71 */
72 BUG();
73 }
Shouldn't we skip the kernel address check for /dev/mem - at least when
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is not enabled?
