      <title>CVE-2022-49764 — bpf: Prevent bpf program recursion for raw tracepoint probes</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2022-49764</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bpf: Prevent bpf program recursion for raw tracepoint probes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We got report from sysbot [1] about warnings that were caused by
bpf program attached to contention_begin raw tracepoint triggering
the same tracepoint by using bpf_trace_printk helper that takes
trace_printk_lock lock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Call Trace:
  &amp;lt;TASK&amp;gt;
  ? trace_event_raw_event_bpf_trace_printk+0x5f/0x90
  bpf_trace_printk+0x2b/0xe0
  bpf_prog_a9aec6167c091eef_prog+0x1f/0x24
  bpf_trace_run2+0x26/0x90
  native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x1c6/0x2b0
  _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x44/0x50
  bpf_trace_printk+0x3f/0xe0
  bpf_prog_a9aec6167c091eef_prog+0x1f/0x24
  bpf_trace_run2+0x26/0x90
  native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x1c6/0x2b0
  _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x44/0x50
  bpf_trace_printk+0x3f/0xe0
  bpf_prog_a9aec6167c091eef_prog+0x1f/0x24
  bpf_trace_run2+0x26/0x90

  _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x44/0x50
  __unfreeze_partials+0x5b/0x160
  ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The can be reproduced by attaching bpf program as raw tracepoint on
contention_begin tracepoint. The bpf prog calls bpf_trace_printk
helper. Then by running perf bench the spin lock code is forced to
take slow path and call contention_begin tracepoint.&lt;/p&gt;
