Subject: [PATCH] kfence: Use pt_regs to generate stack trace on faults

Instead of removing the fault handling portion of the stack trace based
on the fault handler's name, just use struct pt_regs directly.

Change kfence_handle_page_fault() to take a struct pt_regs, and plumb it
through to kfence_report_error() for out-of-bounds, use-after-free, or
invalid access errors, where pt_regs is used to generate the stack
trace.

If the kernel is a DEBUG_KERNEL, also show registers for more
information.

Wow; I wasn't expecting this to be put together so quickly, thanks for
doing this!

From a scan, this looks good to me -- just one question below.

For both the above comments, when/where is kfence_handle_page_fault()
called with regs set to NULL? I couldn't spot that in this patch, so
unless I mised it I'm guessing that's somewhere outside of the patch
context?

If this is a case we don't expect to happen, maybe add a WARN_ON_ONCE()?

Thanks,
Mark.

Right, currently it's not expected to happen, but I'd like to permit
this function being called not from fault handlers, for use-cases like
this:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CANpmjNNxAvembOetv15FfZ=04mpj0Qwx+1tnn22tABaHHRRv=Q@mail.gmail.com

The revised recommendation when trying to get KFENCE to give us more
information about allocation/free stacks after refcount underflow
(like what Paul was trying to do) would be to call
kfence_handle_page_fault(addr, NULL).

> If this is a case we don't expect to happen, maybe add a WARN_ON_ONCE()?

While it's currently not expected, I don't see why we should make this
WARN and limit the potential uses of the API if it works just fine if
we pass regs set to NULL. Although arguably the name
kfence_handle_page_fault() might be confusing for such uses, for now,
until more widespread use is evident (if at all) I'd say let's keep
as-is, but simply not prevent such use-cases.

Fair enough! I guess in future we could always revise that anyhow.

FWIW, for this as-is:
