uprobes: Change handle_trampoline() to flush the frames invalidated by longjmp()
Test-case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <setjmp.h>
jmp_buf jmp;
void func_2(void)
{
longjmp(jmp, 1);
}
void func_1(void)
{
if (setjmp(jmp))
return;
func_2();
printf("ERR!! I am running on the caller's stack\n");
}
int main(void)
{
func_1();
return 0;
}
fails if you probe func_1() and func_2() because
handle_trampoline() assumes that the probed function should must
return and hit the bp installed be prepare_uretprobe(). But in
this case func_2() does not return, so when func_1() returns the
kernel uses the no longer valid return_instance of func_2().
Change handle_trampoline() to unwind ->return_instances until we
know that the next chain is alive or NULL, this ensures that the
current chain is the last we need to report and free.
Alternatively, every return_instance could use unique
trampoline_vaddr, in this case we could use it as a key. And
this could solve the problem with sigaltstack() automatically.
But this approach needs more changes, and it puts the "hard"
limit on MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH. Plus it can not solve another
problem partially fixed by the next patch.
Note: this change has no effect on !x86, the arch-agnostic
version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive() just returns "true".
TODO: as documented by the previous change, arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
can be fooled by sigaltstack/etc.
