[PATCH] riscv: kprobe: Fixup misaligned load text
Posted by guoren@kernel.org 2 years, 7 months ago 
From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com>

The current kprobe would cause a misaligned load for the probe point.
This patch fixup it with two half-word loads instead.

Fixes: c22b0bcb1dd0 ("riscv: Add kprobes supported")

Ugh, those casts. :-( What about the memcpy variant you had in the other
thread?

The memcpy version would force load probe_addr + 2. This one would
save an lh operation. The code text guarantees half-word alignment. No
misaligned load happened. Second, kprobe wouldn't write the last half
of 32b instruction.

Ok, something more readable, like:

*insn gets promoted to int not unsigned so this is UB if bit 15 is set.

Ugh. Good catch! I guess we can't get rid of *that* explicit cast to
kprobe_opcode_t here...

Hi Bjorn & Jessica,
Thx for reviewing.
