Recently we have observed some failures as below: crash> set 2276866 set: invalid kernel virtual address: 0 type: "stack contents" set: read of stack at 0 failed crash> ps 2276866 PID PPID CPU TASK ST %MEM VSZ RSS COMM 2276866 2276750 47 ff3a19fbd3c80000 ZO 0.0 0 0 sh This is a regression issue that introduced by adding gdb stack unwind support. When attempting to read from the stack, firstly, need to check if the stack exists, otherwise it may fail in some corner cases. E.g: there are some zombie processes(ZO) and the stack does not exist. Furthermore this may also break the switching thread in gdb. With the patch: crash> set 2276866 PID: 2276866 COMMAND: "sh" TASK: ff3a19fbd3c80000 [THREAD_INFO: ff3a19fbd3c80000] CPU: 47 STATE: EXIT_DEAD|EXIT_ZOMBIE Reported-by: Buland Kumar Singh <bsingh(a)redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Lianbo Jiang <lijiang(a)redhat.com> --- arm64.c | 2 ++ ppc64.c | 2 ++ x86_64.c | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/arm64.c b/arm64.c index 354d17ab6a19..17235950bb60 100644 --- a/arm64.c +++ b/arm64.c @@ -234,6 +234,8 @@ arm64_get_current_task_reg(int regno, const char *name, BZERO(&bt_setup, sizeof(struct bt_info)); clone_bt_info(&bt_setup, &bt_info, tc); + if (bt_info.stackbase == 0) + return FALSE; fill_stackbuf(&bt_info); get_dumpfile_regs(&bt_info, &sp, &ip); diff --git a/ppc64.c b/ppc64.c index d1a506773c93..9c5c0a460c7a 100644 --- a/ppc64.c +++ b/ppc64.c @@ -2606,6 +2606,8 @@ ppc64_get_current_task_reg(int regno, const char *name, int size, BZERO(&bt_setup, sizeof(struct bt_info)); clone_bt_info(&bt_setup, &bt_info, tc); + if (bt_info.stackbase == 0) + return FALSE; fill_stackbuf(&bt_info); // reusing the get_dumpfile_regs function to get pt regs structure diff --git a/x86_64.c b/x86_64.c index d7da536d20d8..b2cddbf8ba3d 100644 --- a/x86_64.c +++ b/x86_64.c @@ -9383,6 +9383,8 @@ x86_64_get_current_task_reg(int regno, const char *name, BZERO(&bt_setup, sizeof(struct bt_info)); clone_bt_info(&bt_setup, &bt_info, tc); + if (bt_info.stackbase == 0) + return FALSE; fill_stackbuf(&bt_info); // reusing the get_dumpfile_regs function to get pt regs structure -- 2.50.1
