[PATCH v4] powerpc/uprobes: Validation for prefixed instruction

From: Ravi Bangoria <hidden>
Date: 2021-03-05 11:56:22
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest, uprobes · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds, Masami Hiramatsu, Oleg Nesterov, Peter Zijlstra

As per ISA 3.1, prefixed instruction should not cross 64-byte
boundary. So don't allow Uprobe on such prefixed instruction.

There are two ways probed instruction is changed in mapped pages.
First, when Uprobe is activated, it searches for all the relevant
pages and replace instruction in them. In this case, if that probe
is on the 64-byte unaligned prefixed instruction, error out
directly. Second, when Uprobe is already active and user maps a
relevant page via mmap(), instruction is replaced via mmap() code
path. But because Uprobe is invalid, entire mmap() operation can
not be stopped. In this case just print an error and continue.

v3->v4:
  - CONFIG_PPC64 check was not required, remove it.
  - Use SZ_ macros instead of hardcoded numbers.
