Linus Torvalds e8c39d0f57 Probes fixes for v6.9-rc3:
- kprobes: Fix possible use-after-free issue on kprobe registration. Since
   check_kprobe_address_safe() uses `is_module_text_address()` and
   `__module_text_address()` separately, if the probe address is on an
   unloading module, the first `is_module_text_address()` return true but
   the second `__module_text_address()` returns NULL (module is unloaded
   between them). Thus it expects the probe is on the kernel text, and
   skips to get the module reference. In this case, when it arms a breakpoint
   on the probe address, it may cause a use-after-free problem.
   To fix this issue, we only use `__module_text_address()` once and tries
   to get reference of the module, if it fails, reject the probe.

Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:
 "Fix possible use-after-free issue on kprobe registration.

  check_kprobe_address_safe() uses `is_module_text_address()` and
  `__module_text_address()` separately.

  As a result, if the probed address is in a module that is being
  unloaded, the first `is_module_text_address()` might return true but
  then the `__module_text_address()` call might return NULL if the
  module has been unloaded between the two.

  The result is that kprobe believes the probe is on the kernel text,
  and skips getting a module reference. In this case, when it arms a
  breakpoint on the probe address, it may cause a use-after-free.

  To fix this issue, only use `__module_text_address()` once and get a
  reference to the module then. If it fails, reject the probe"

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 reStructuredText 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.
