Vulnerabilidad en kernel de Linux (CVE-2022-49888)

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: arm64: entrada: evitar la recursión de kprobe. La función cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler() se llama al gestionar excepciones de depuración (y excepciones síncronas de instrucciones BRK), y por lo tanto se llama cuando se ejecuta una función sondeada. Si el compilador no inserta en línea cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler(), se puede sondear. Si se sondea cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler(), cualquier excepción de depuración o excepción de punto de interrupción de software resultará en excepciones recursivas que conducen a un desbordamiento de pila. Esto se puede activar con la autoprueba ftrace multiple_probes y como se muestra en el ejemplo a continuación. Esta es una regresión causada por el commit 6459b8469753e9fe ("arm64: entry: consolidate Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225 workaround"), que eliminó la anotación NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() asociada a la función. Mi intención era que cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler() would be inlined into its caller, el1_dbg(), which is marked noinstr and cannot be probed. Mark cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler() as __always_inline to ensure this.
