Subject: [RFC PATCH v8 4/4] arm64: Create a list of SYM_CODE functions, check return PC against list
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2021 14:06:03 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210812190603.25326-5-madvenka@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210812190603.25326-1-madvenka@linux.microsoft.com>
From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@linux.microsoft.com>
SYM_CODE functions don't follow the usual calling conventions. Check if the
return PC in a stack frame falls in any of these. If it does, consider the
stack trace unreliable.
Define a special section for unreliable functions
=================================================
Define a SYM_CODE_END() macro for arm64 that adds the function address
range to a new section called "sym_code_functions".
Linker file
===========
Include the "sym_code_functions" section under read-only data in
vmlinux.lds.S.
Initialization
==============
Define an early_initcall() to create a sym_code_functions[] array from
the linker data.
Unwinder check
==============
Add a reliability check in unwind_is_reliable() that compares a return
PC with sym_code_functions[]. If there is a match, then return failure.
