powerpc/perf: callchain validate kernel stack pointer bounds
[ Upstream commit 32c5209214bd8d4f8c4e9d9b630ef4c671f58e79 ]
The interrupt frame detection and loads from the hypothetical pt_regs
are not bounds-checked. The next-frame validation only bounds-checks
STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, which does not include the pt_regs. Add another
test for this.
The user could set r1 to be equal to the address matching the first
interrupt frame - STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, which is in the previous page
due to the kernel redzone, and induce the kernel to load the marker from
there. Possibly this could cause a crash at least. If the user could
induce the previous page to contain a valid marker, then it might be
able to direct perf to read specific memory addresses in a way that
could be transmitted back to the user in the perf data.
