commit 06ab134ce8ecfa5a69e850f88f81c8a4c3fa91df upstream.
On x86 the struct pt_regs * grabbed by task_pt_regs() points to an
offset of task->stack. The pt_regs are later dereferenced in
__bpf_get_stack (e.g. by user_mode() check). This can cause a fault if
the task in question exits while bpf_get_task_stack is executing, as
warned by task_stack_page's comment:
* When accessing the stack of a non-current task that might exit, use
* try_get_task_stack() instead. task_stack_page will return a pointer
* that could get freed out from under you.
Taking the comment's advice and using try_get_task_stack() and
put_task_stack() to hold task->stack refcount, or bail early if it's
already 0. Incrementing stack_refcount will ensure the task's stack
sticks around while we're using its data.
I noticed this bug while testing a bpf task iter similar to
bpf_iter_task_stack in selftests, except mine grabbed user stack, and
getting intermittent crashes, which resulted in dumps like:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000003fe0

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.
