From 88b0193d9418c00340e45e0a913a0813bc6c8c96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 9 May 2017 18:00:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf/callchain: Force USER_DS when invoking perf_callchain_user() Perf can generate and record a user callchain in response to a synchronous request, such as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we can end up walking the user stack (and dereferencing/saving whatever we find there) without the protections usually afforded by checks such as access_ok. Rather than play whack-a-mole with each architecture's stack unwinding implementation, fix the root of the problem by ensuring that we force USER_DS when invoking perf_callchain_user from the perf core.
