Trying to use a kprobe on ppc32 results in the below splat: BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0x7c0802a6 Faulting instruction address: 0xc002e9f0 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] BE PAGE_SIZE=4K PowerPC 44x Platform Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 89 Comm: sh Not tainted 5.13.0-rc1-01824-g3a81c0495fdb #7 NIP: c002e9f0 LR: c0011858 CTR: 00008a47 REGS: c292fd50 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (5.13.0-rc1-01824-g3a81c0495fdb) MSR: 00009000 <EE,ME> CR: 24002002 XER: 20000000 DEAR: 7c0802a6 ESR: 00000000 <snip> NIP [c002e9f0] emulate_step+0x28/0x324 LR [c0011858] optinsn_slot+0x128/0x10000 Call Trace: opt_pre_handler+0x7c/0xb4 (unreliable) optinsn_slot+0x128/0x10000 ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x28
The offending instruction is: 81 24 00 00 lwz r9,0(r4) Here, we are trying to load the second argument to emulate_step(): struct ppc_inst, which is the instruction to be emulated. On ppc64, structures are passed in registers when passed by value. However, per the ppc32 ABI, structures are always passed to functions as pointers. This isn't being adhered to when setting up the call to emulate_step() in the optprobe trampoline. Fix the same. Fixes: eacf4c0202654a ("powerpc: Enable OPTPROBES on PPC32") Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
