| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Flush current cpu icache before other cpus
On SiFive Unmatched, I recently fell onto the following BUG when booting:

While ftrace is looping over a list of addresses to patch, it always failed
when patching the same function: riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask. Looking at the
backtrace, the illegal instruction is encountered in this same function.
However, patch_text_nosync, after patching the instructions, calls
flush_icache_range. But looking at what happens in this function:
flush_icache_range -> flush_icache_all
-> sbi_remote_fence_i
-> __sbi_rfence_v02
-> riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask
The icache and dcache of the current cpu are never synchronized between the
patching of riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask and calling this same function.
So fix this by flushing the current cpu's icache before asking for the other
cpus to do the same. |
