Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ARM: backtrace-clang: check for NULL lr
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2020 13:51:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200730205112.2099429-2-ndesaulniers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200730205112.2099429-1-ndesaulniers@google.com>

If the link register was zeroed out, do not attempt to use it for
address calculations for which there are currently no fixup handlers,
which can lead to a panic during unwind. Since panicking triggers
another unwind, this can lead to an infinite loop.  If this occurs
during start_kernel(), this can prevent a kernel from booting.

commit 59b6359dd92d ("ARM: 8702/1: head-common.S: Clear lr before jumping to start_kernel()")
intentionally zeros out the link register in __mmap_switched which tail
calls into start kernel. Test for this condition so that we can stop
unwinding when initiated within start_kernel() correctly.

Fixes: commit 6dc5fd93b2f1 ("ARM: 8900/1: UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER implementation for Clang")
