Masami Hiramatsu 74c515e049 kprobes: Set unoptimized flag after unoptimizing code
commit f66c0447cc upstream.

Set the unoptimized flag after confirming the code is completely
unoptimized. Without this fix, when a kprobe hits the intermediate
modified instruction (the first byte is replaced by an INT3, but
later bytes can still be a jump address operand) while unoptimizing,
it can return to the middle byte of the modified code, which causes
an invalid instruction exception in the kernel.

Usually, this is a rare case, but if we put a probe on the function
call while text patching, it always causes a kernel panic as below:

 # echo p text_poke+5 > kprobe_events
 # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
 # echo 0 > events/kprobes/enable

invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
 RIP: 0010:text_poke+0x9/0x50
 Call Trace:
  arch_unoptimize_kprobe+0x22/0x28
  arch_unoptimize_kprobes+0x39/0x87
  kprobe_optimizer+0x6e/0x290
  process_one_work+0x2a0/0x610
  worker_thread+0x28/0x3d0

  kthread+0x10d/0x130
  ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80
  ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

text_poke() is used for patching the code in optprobes.

This can happen even if we blacklist text_poke() and other functions,
because there is a small time window during which we show the intermediate
code to other CPUs.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
