When the frame unwinder is invoked for an oops caused by a call to NULL, it currently skips the parent function because BP still points to the parent's stack frame; the (nonexistent) current function only has the first half of a stack frame, and BP doesn't point to it yet. Add a special case for IP==0 that calculates a fake BP from SP, then uses the real BP for the next frame. Note that this handles first_frame specially: Return information about the parent function as long as the saved IP is >=first_frame, even if the fake BP points below it. With an artificially-added NULL call in prctl_set_seccomp(), before this patch, the trace is: Call Trace: ? prctl_set_seccomp+0x3a/0x50 __x64_sys_prctl+0x457/0x6f0 ? __ia32_sys_prctl+0x750/0x750 do_syscall_64+0x72/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 After this patch, the trace is: Call Trace: prctl_set_seccomp+0x3a/0x50 __x64_sys_prctl+0x457/0x6f0 ? __ia32_sys_prctl+0x750/0x750 do_syscall_64+0x72/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: syzbot <syzbot+ca95b2b7aef9e7cbd6ab@syzkaller.appspotmail.com> Cc: "H.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
