Title
kprobes: avoid crash when rmmod/insmod after ftrace killed
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kprobes: avoid crash when rmmod/insmod after ftrace killed After we hit ftrace is killed by some errors, the kernel crash if we remove modules in which kprobe probes. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff805000d PGD 817fcc067 P4D 817fcc067 PUD 817fc8067 PMD 101555067 PTE 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI CPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 2012 Comm: rmmod Tainted: G W OE Tainted: [W]=WARN, [O]=OOT_MODULE, [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE RIP: 0010:kprobes_module_callback+0x89/0x790 RSP: 0018:ffff88812e157d30 EFLAGS: 00010a02 RAX: 1ffffffff805000d RBX: dffffc0000000000 RCX: ffffffff86a8de90 RDX: ffffed1025c2af9b RSI: 0000000000000008 RDI: ffffffffc0280068 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffffed1025c2af9a R10: ffff88812e157cd7 R11: 205d323130325420 R12: 0000000000000002 R13: ffffffffc0290488 R14: 0000000000000002 R15: ffffffffc0280040 FS: 00007fbc450dd740(0000) GS:ffff888420331000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: fffffbfff805000d CR3: 000000010f624000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 Call Trace: <TASK> notifier_call_chain+0xc6/0x280 blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x60/0x90 __do_sys_delete_module.constprop.0+0x32a/0x4e0 do_syscall_64+0x5d/0xfa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e This is because the kprobe on ftrace does not correctly handles the kprobe_ftrace_disabled flag set by ftrace_kill(). To prevent this error, check kprobe_ftrace_disabled in __disarm_kprobe_ftrace() and skip all ftrace related operations.
