bpf: Refcount task stack in bpf_get_task_stack
On x86 the struct pt_regs * grabbed by task_pt_regs() points to an offset of task->stack. The pt_regs are later dereferenced in __bpf_get_stack (e.g. by user_mode() check). This can cause a fault if the task in question exits while bpf_get_task_stack is executing, as warned by task_stack_page's comment: * When accessing the stack of a non-current task that might exit, use * try_get_task_stack() instead. task_stack_page will return a pointer * that could get freed out from under you. Taking the comment's advice and using try_get_task_stack() and put_task_stack() to hold task->stack refcount, or bail early if it's already 0. Incrementing stack_refcount will ensure the task's stack sticks around while we're using its data. I noticed this bug while testing a bpf task iter similar to bpf_iter_task_stack in selftests, except mine grabbed user stack, and getting intermittent crashes, which resulted in dumps like: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000003fe0 \#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode \#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page RIP: 0010:__bpf_get_stack+0xd0/0x230 <snip...> Call Trace: bpf_prog_0a2be35c092cb190_get_task_stacks+0x5d/0x3ec bpf_iter_run_prog+0x24/0x81 __task_seq_show+0x58/0x80 bpf_seq_read+0xf7/0x3d0 vfs_read+0x91/0x140 ksys_read+0x59/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x48/0x120 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Fixes: fa28dcb82a38 ("bpf: Introduce helper bpf_get_task_stack()") Signed-off-by: Dave Marchevsky <davemarchevsky@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210401000747.3648767-1-davemarchevsky@fb.com
