Nadav Amit b12d0489e4 x86/alternative: Fix race in try_get_desc() 
commit efd608fa74 upstream.

I encountered some occasional crashes of poke_int3_handler() when
kprobes are set, while accessing desc->vec.

The text poke mechanism claims to have an RCU-like behavior, but it
does not appear that there is any quiescent state to ensure that
nobody holds reference to desc. As a result, the following race
appears to be possible, which can lead to memory corruption.

  CPU0					CPU1
  ----					----
  text_poke_bp_batch()
  -> smp_store_release(&bp_desc, &desc)

  [ notice that desc is on
    the stack			]

					poke_int3_handler()

					[ int3 might be kprobe's
					  so sync events are do not
					  help ]

					-> try_get_desc(descp=&bp_desc)
					   desc = __READ_ONCE(bp_desc)

					   if (!desc) [false, success]
  WRITE_ONCE(bp_desc, NULL);
  atomic_dec_and_test(&desc.refs)

  [ success, desc space on the stack
    is being reused and might have
    non-zero value. ]
					arch_atomic_inc_not_zero(&desc->refs)

					[ might succeed since desc points to
					  stack memory that was freed and might
					  be reused. ]

Fix this issue with small backportable patch. Instead of trying to
make RCU-like behavior for bp_desc, just eliminate the unnecessary
level of indirection of bp_desc, and hold the whole descriptor as a
global.  Anyhow, there is only a single descriptor at any given
moment.

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.
