While not triggered by the trivial xen_nop in-tree patch on staging/master, that patch exposes a problem on the stable trees, where all functions have ENDBR inserted. When NOP-ing out a range, we need to account for this. Handle this right in livepatch_insn_len().
Fixes: 6974c75180f1 ("xen/x86: Livepatch: support patching CET-enhanced functions") Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeul...@suse.com> --- Only build tested, as I don't have a live patching environment available. For Arm this assumes that the patch_offset field starts out as zero; I think we can make such an assumption, yet otoh on x86 explicit initialization was added by the cited commit. --- a/xen/include/xen/livepatch.h +++ b/xen/include/xen/livepatch.h @@ -90,7 +90,7 @@ static inline unsigned int livepatch_insn_len(const struct livepatch_func *func) { if ( !func->new_addr ) - return func->new_size; + return func->new_size - func->patch_offset; return ARCH_PATCH_INSN_SIZE; }
