Subject: [PATCH] perf: Force USER_DS when recording user stack data.
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 15:59:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180823225935.27035-1-yabinc@google.com> (raw)
Perf can record user stack data in response to a synchronous request, such
as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we
end up reading user stack data using __copy_from_user_inatomic() under
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). I think this conflicts with the intention of using
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). And it is explicitly forbidden by hardware on ARM64
when both CONFIG_ARM64_UAO and CONFIG_ARM64_PAN are used.
So fix this by forcing USER_DS when recording user stack data.
