libunwind: Don't attempt to authenticate a null return address.
ClosedPublic

Authored by pcc on Feb 11 2021, 4:25 PM.

Details

Summary

Null return addresses can appear at the bottom of the stack (i.e. the
frame corresponding to the entry point). Authenticating these addresses
will set the error code in the address, which will lead to a segfault
in the sigreturn trampoline detection code. Fix this problem by not
authenticating null addresses.

It seems OK to me. Does it make sense to also skip (pc == 0) in UnwindCursor<A, R>::setInfoForSigReturn?

Hmm, that seems redundant with the check that I'm adding here. Let's start with one and we can reconsider if we find another bug here.

Oh, yeah, it would be redundant with this check earlier in setInfoBasedOnIPRegister:

// Exit early if at the top of the stack.
if (pc == 0) {
  _unwindInfoMissing = true;
  return;
}
