Subject: [patch] i386: entry.s::error_code is not safe for kprobes
Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 06:20:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200608030623_MC3-1-C6F0-24AD@compuserve.com> (raw)

Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to
entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well.
The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry
point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same
section.

Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes
sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>

x86_64 also has this problem but I wasn't sure whether to move
error_entry into .kprobes.text or convert offendors to the
"paranoid" infrastructure.
