Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv: fix oops caused by irqsoff latency tracer

The trace_hardirqs_onoff() require the caller to setup frame pointer properly. This because these two functions use macro ‘CALLER_ADDR1’ (aka. __builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used for other purpose the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger memory access fault.

This because the $fp(aka. $s0) register is not used as frame pointer in the assembly entry code.

resume_kernel:
	REG_L s0 TASK_TI_PREEMPT_COUNT(tp)
	bnez s0 restore_all
	REG_L s0 TASK_TI_FLAGS(tp)
            andi s0 s0 _TIF_NEED_RESCHED
            beqz s0 restore_all
            call preempt_schedule_irq
            j restore_all

To fix above issue here we add one extra level wrapper for function trace_hardirqs_onoff() so they can be safely called by low level entry code.
