Subject: [PATCH]Kprobes-Race in recovery of reentrant probe
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2006 10:10:32 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060110101032.A11768@unix-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)
[PATCH] Kprobes - Race in recovery of reentrant probes
There is window where a probe gets removed right after the
probe is hit on some different cpu. In this case probe handlers
can't find a matching probe instance related to break address.
In this case we need to read the original instruction at break
address to see if that is not a break/int3 instruction
and recover safely.
Previous code had a bug where we were not checking for the above
race in case of reentrant probes and the below patch fixes this
race.
The below patch has been tested on IA64, Powerpc, x86_64.
