From ff3f7e2475bbf9201e95824e72698fcdc5c3d47a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 12:00:25 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks When unwinding a task, the end of the stack is always at the same offset right below the saved pt_regs, regardless of which syscall was used to enter the kernel. That convention allows the unwinder to verify that a stack is sane. However, newly forked tasks don't always follow that convention, as reported by the following unwinder warning seen by Dave Jones: WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffc90001443f30 in kworker/u8:8:30468 has bad value (null) The warning was due to the following call chain: (ftrace handler) call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x5/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 The problem is that ret_from_fork() doesn't create a stack frame before calling other functions. Fix that by carefully using the frame pointer macros. In addition to conforming to the end of stack convention, this also makes related stack traces more sensible by making it clear to the user that ret_from_fork() was involved.
