uprobe_write_opcode() must not cross page boundary; prepare_uprobe() relies on arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() which should validate "vaddr" but some architectures (csky, s390, and sparc) don't do this. We can remove the BUG_ON() check in prepare_uprobe() and validate the offset early in __uprobe_register(). The new IS_ALIGNED() check matches the alignment check in arch_prepare_kprobe() on supported architectures, so I think that all insns must be aligned to UPROBE_SWBP_INSN_SIZE. Another problem is __update_ref_ctr() which was wrong from the very beginning, it can read/write outside of kmap'ed page unless "vaddr" is aligned to sizeof(short), __uprobe_register() should check this too.

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 Restructured Text 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.
