Vince Weaver reported that perf_fuzzer + KASAN detects that PEBS event unwinds sometimes do 'weird' things. In particular, we seemed to be ending up unwinding from random places on the NMI stack. While it was somewhat expected that the event record BP,SP would not match the interrupt BP,SP in that the interrupt is strictly later than the record event, it was overlooked that it could be on an already overwritten stack. Therefore, don't copy the recorded BP,SP over the interrupted BP,SP when we need stack unwinds. Note that its still possible the unwind doesn't full match the actual event, as its entirely possible to have done an (I)RET between record and interrupt, but on average it should still point in the general direction of where the event came from. Also, it's the best we can do, considering. The particular scenario that triggered the bogus NMI stack unwind was a PEBS event with very short period, upon enabling the event at the tail of the PMI handler (FREEZE_ON_PMI is not used), it instantly triggers a record (while still on the NMI stack) which in turn triggers the next PMI. This then causes back-to-back NMIs and we'll try and unwind the stack-frame from the last NMI, which obviously is now overwritten by our own. Analyzed-by:
