Revert "parisc: Fix backtrace to always include init funtion names"
This reverts commit 279917e27edc293eb645a25428c6ab3f3bca3f86. With the CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY option enabled, this patch triggers kernel bugs at runtime: usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to kernel text (offset 2084839, size 6)! kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:99! Backtrace: IAOQ[0]: usercopy_abort+0xc4/0xe8 [<00000000406ed1c8>] __check_object_size+0x174/0x238 [<00000000407086d4>] copy_strings.isra.0+0x3e8/0x708 [<0000000040709a20>] do_execveat_common.isra.0+0x1bc/0x328 [<000000004070b760>] compat_sys_execve+0x7c/0xb8 [<0000000040303eb8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14 The problem is, that we have an init section of at least 2MB size which starts at _stext and is freed after bootup. If then later some kernel data is (temporarily) stored in this free memory, check_kernel_text_object() will trigger a bug since the data appears to be inside the kernel text (>=_stext) area: if (overlaps(ptr, len, _stext, _etext)) usercopy_abort("kernel text"); Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org # 5.4+
