SubjectRe: [PATCH] firmware: qcom: scm: Fix crash in qcom_scm_call_atomic1()
Date
Quoting Niklas Cassel (2018-04-09 14:40:15)
> qcom_scm_call_atomic1() can crash with a NULL pointer dereference at
> qcom_scm_call_atomic1+0x30/0x48.
>
> disassembly of qcom_scm_call_atomic1():
> ...
> <0xc08d73b0 <+12>: ldr r3, [r12]
> ... (no instruction explicitly modifies r12)
> 0xc08d73cc <+40>: smc 0
> ... (no instruction explicitly modifies r12)
> 0xc08d73d4 <+48>: ldr r3, [r12] <- crashing instruction
> ...
>
> Since the first ldr is successful, and since r12 isn't explicitly
> modified by any instruction between the first and the second ldr,
> it must have been modified by the smc call, which is ok,
> since r12 is caller save according to the AAPCS.
>
> Add r12 to the clobber list so that the compiler knows that the
> callee potentially overwrites the value in r12.
> Clobber descriptions may not in any way overlap with an input or
> output operand.
