As same as commit 54a7d50b9205 ("x86: mark kprobe templates
as character arrays, not single characters") did, to prevent
miss detection of the string fortification, make the
template symbols as kprobe_opecode_t arrays, instead of
single kprobe_opecode_t. Unlike x86, arm has not supported
the string fortification (ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE),
so this is a kind of preventive patch.Original issue was reported at https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/19/1425 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]> Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> --- arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h | 18 +++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h index 5965545..cf1cde4 100644 --- a/arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h +++ b/arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h @@ -54,15 +54,15 @@ int kprobe_exceptions_notify(struct notifier_block *self, unsigned long val, void *data); /* optinsn template addresses */ -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_entry; -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_val; -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_call; -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_end; -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_sub_sp; -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_add_sp; -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_restore_begin; -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_restore_orig_insn; -extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_restore_end; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_entry[]; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_val[]; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_call[]; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_end[]; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_sub_sp[]; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_add_sp[]; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_restore_begin[]; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_restore_orig_insn[]; +extern __visible kprobe_opcode_t optprobe_template_restore_end[]; #define MAX_OPTIMIZED_LENGTH 4 #define MAX_OPTINSN_SIZE \
