[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v2] livepatch: account for patch offset when applying NOP patch
While not triggered by the trivial xen_nop in-tree patch on
staging/master, that patch exposes a problem on the stable trees, where
all functions have ENDBR inserted. When NOP-ing out a range, we need to
account for this. Handle this right in livepatch_insn_len().
This requires livepatch_insn_len() to be called _after_ ->patch_offset
was set. Note however that the earlier call cannot be deleted. In fact
its result should have been used to guard the is_endbr64() /
is_endbr64_poison() invocations - add the missing check now. While
making that adjustment, also use the local variable "old_ptr"
consistently.

functions")

v2: Re-issue livepatch_insn_len(). Fix buffer overrun.
---
Only build tested, as I don't have a live patching environment available.
For Arm this assumes that the patch_offset field starts out as zero; I
think we can make such an assumption, yet otoh on x86 explicit
initialization was added by the cited commit.
Note that the other use of is_endbr64() / is_endbr64_poison() in
arch_livepatch_verify_func() would need the extra check only for
cosmetic reasons, because ARCH_PATCH_INSN_SIZE > ENDBR64_LEN (5 > 4).
Hence I'm not altering the code there.
