The interrupt frame detection and loads from the hypothetical pt_regs are not bounds-checked. The next-frame validation only bounds-checks STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, which does not include the pt_regs. Add another test for this.
Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com> --- Could the user set r1 to be equal to the address matching the first interrupt frame - STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, which is in the previous page due to the kernel redzone, and induce the kernel to load the marker from there? Possibly it could cause a crash at least. It also seems a bit rude to put a fancy next-frame-validation out in perf/ rather than with the rest of the frame validation code.
