This may result in a few distinct problems:\n\n* The kernel may may erroneously reject probing an instruction which can\n safely be probed.\n\n* The kernel may erroneously erroneously permit stepping an\n instruction out-of-line when that instruction cannot be stepped\n out-of-line safely.\n\n* The kernel may erroneously simulate instruction incorrectly dur to\n interpretting the byte-swapped encoding.\n\nThe endianness mismatch isn't caught by the compiler or sparse because:\n\n* The arch_uprobe::{insn,ixol} fields are encoded as arrays of u8, so\n the compiler and sparse have no idea these contain a little-endian\n 32-bit value. The core uprobes code populates these with a memcpy()\n which similarly does not handle endianness.\n\n* While the uprobe_opcode_t type is an alias for __le32, both\n arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() and arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() cast from u8[]\n to the similarly-named probe_opcode_t, which is an alias for u32.\n Hence there is no endianness conversion warning.\n\nFix this by changing the arch_uprobe::{insn,ixol} fields to __le32 and\nadding the appropriate __le32_to_cpu() conversions prior to consuming\nthe instruction encoding. The core uprobes copies these fields as opaque\nranges of bytes, and so is unaffected by this change.\n\nAt the same time, remove MAX_UINSN_BYTES and consistently use\nAARCH64_INSN_SIZE for clarity.\n\nTested with the following:\n\n| #include \n| #include \n|\n| #define noinline __attribute__((noinline))\n|\n| static noinline void *adrp_self(void)\n| {\n| void *addr;\n|\n| asm volatile(\n| \" adrp %x0, adrp_self\\n\"\n| \" add %x0, %x0, :lo12:adrp_self\\n\"\n| : \"=r\" (addr));\n| }\n|\n|\n| int main(int argc, char *argv)\n| {\n| void *ptr = adrp_self();\n| bool equal = (ptr == adrp_self);\n|\n| printf(\"adrp_self => %p\\n\"\n| \"adrp_self() => %p\\n\"\n| \"%s\\n\",\n| adrp_self, ptr, equal ? \"EQUAL\" : \"NOT EQUAL\");\n|\n| return 0;\n| }\n\n.... where the adrp_self() function was compiled to:\n\n| 00000000004007e0 :\n| 4007e0: 90000000 adrp x0, 400000 <__ehdr_start>\n| 4007e4: 911f8000 add x0, x0, #0x7e0\n| 4007e8: d65f03c0 ret\n\nBefore this patch, the ADRP is not recognized, and is assumed to be\nsteppable, resulting in corruption of the result:\n\n| # ./adrp-self\n| adrp_self => 0x4007e0\n| adrp_self() => 0x4007e0\n| EQUAL\n| # echo 'p /root/adrp-self:0x007e0' > /sys/kernel/tracing/uprobe_events\n| # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/uprobes/enable\n| # ./adrp-self\n| adrp_self => 0x4007e0\n| adrp_self() => 0xffffffffff7e0\n| NOT EQUAL\n\nAfter this patch, the ADRP is correctly recognized and simulated:\n\n| # ./adrp-self\n| adrp_self => 0x4007e0\n| adrp_self() => 0x4007e0\n| EQUAL\n| #\n| # echo 'p /root/adrp-self:0x007e0' >
