print_worker_info() includes no validity check on the pwq and wq

functions.
It seems that most architectures don't care about that, but at
least on
the parisc architecture this leads to a kernel crash since
accesses to
page zero are protected by the kernel for security reasons.
Fix this problem by verifying the contents of pwq and wq before
usage.
Even if probe_kernel_read() usually prevents such crashes by
disabling
page faults, clean code should always include such checks.
Without this fix issuing "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will
immediately
crash the Linux kernel on the parisc architecture.
Hmm... um had similar problem but the root cause here is that the
arch
isn't implementing probe_kernel_read() properly. We really have no
idea what the pointer value may be at the dump point and that's
why we
use probe_kernel_read(). If something like the above is
necessary for
the time being, the correct place would be the arch
probe_kernel_read() implementation. James, would it be difficult
implement proper probe_kernel_read() on parisc?
The problem seems to be that some traps bypass our exception table
handling.
Yes, that's correct.
It's trap #26 and we directly call parisc_terminate() for
fault_space==0
without checking the exception table.
See my patch I posted a few hours ago which fixes this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2971701/
That doesn't quite look right ... I guessed it was probably access
rights, so we should do an exception table fixup, so isn't this the
fix?
because we shouldn't call do_page_fault if there's no exception table.
What about trap #18? It appears the same problem can occur on PCXS.
I have the strong feeling that __copy_from_user still won't be bullet
proof.
See attached fault. As far as I know, we don't have an OS HPMC handler.
