[ Upstream commit cb80242cc679d6397e77d8a964deeb3ff218d2b5 ]
When running kfence_test, I found some testcases failed like this:
# test_out_of_bounds_read: EXPECTATION FAILED at mm/kfence/kfence_test.c:346
Expected report_matches(&expect) to be true, but is false
not ok 1 - test_out_of_bounds_read
The corresponding call-trace is:
BUG: KFENCE: out-of-bounds read in kunit_try_run_case+0x38/0x84
Out-of-bounds read at 0x(____ptrval____) (32B right of kfence-#10):
kunit_try_run_case+0x38/0x84
kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x12/0x1e
kthread+0xc8/0xde
ret_from_exception+0x0/0xc
The kfence_test using the first frame of call trace to check whether the
testcase is succeed or not. Commit 6a00ef449370 ("riscv: eliminate
unreliable __builtin_frame_address(1)") skip first frame for all
case, which results the kfence_test failed. Indeed, we only need to skip
the first frame for case (task==NULL || task==current).
With this patch, the call-trace will be:
BUG: KFENCE: out-of-bounds read in test_out_of_bounds_read+0x88/0x19e
Out-of-bounds read at 0x(____ptrval____) (1B left of kfence-#7):
test_out_of_bounds_read+0x88/0x19e
kunit_try_run_case+0x38/0x84
kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x12/0x1e
kthread+0xc8/0xde

Fixes: 6a00ef449370 ("riscv: eliminate unreliable __builtin_frame_address(1)")

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.
