Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv: fix oops caused by irqsoff latency tracer

The tracehardirqs{on,off}() require the caller to setup frame pointer
properly. This because these two functions use macro ‘CALLER_ADDR1’ (aka.
__builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used
for other purpose, the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger
memory access fault.

0xffffffff8011510e <+80>: ld a1,-16(s0)
0xffffffff80115112 <+84>: ld s2,-8(a1) # <— paging fault here

The oops message during booting if compiled with ‘irqoff’ tracer enabled:

[ 0.046402][ T0] [<ffffffff80003b94>] restore_all+0x12/0x6e

This because the \(fp(aka. \)s0) register is not used as frame pointer in the
assembly entry code.

resume_kernel:
	REG_L s0, TASK_TI_PREEMPT_COUNT(tp)
	bnez s0, restore_all
	REG_L s0, TASK_TI_FLAGS(tp)
            andi s0, s0, _TIF_NEED_RESCHED
            beqz s0, restore_all
            call preempt_schedule_irq
            j restore_all

To fix above issue, here we add one extra level wrapper for function
tracehardirqs{on,off}() so they can be safely called by low level entry
code.
