CVE-2026-64235
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/ftrace: Relocate %rip-relative percpu refs in dynamic trampolines
With CONFIG_CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING enabled on an x86 retbleed-affected platform (eg: Skylake), with retbleed=stuff, registering a dynamic ftrace trampoline crashes on the first call into the traced function:
This small reproducer allows to easily trigger the crash:
Monitoring the crash under GDB points to the exact instruction in charge of incrementing the call depth:
This instruction matches the one inserted by the ftrace_regs_caller from ftrace_64.S. This emitted code was likely working fine until the introduction of

it has made the call depth accounting addressing relative to $rip, instead of being based on an absolute address.
As this code exact location depends on where the trampoline lives in memory, the corresponding displacement needs to be adjusted at runtime to actually correctly find the per-cpu __x86_call_depth value, otherwise the targeted address is wrong, leading to the page fault seen above.
Fix the %rip-relative displacement of the copied CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT instruction (from ftrace_regs_caller) by calling text_poke_apply_relocation(), as it is done for example by the x86 BPF JIT compiler through x86_call_depth_emit_accounting(). This corrects both CALL_DEPTH_ACCOUNT slots, in ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller.
