Subject: [PATCH -tip 2/2] [BUGFIX] kprobes: Prohibit probing on func_ptr_is_kernel_text
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:53:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131030105343.7997.5374.stgit@kbuild-fedora.novalocal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131030105334.7997.750.stgit@kbuild-fedora.novalocal>
Prohibit probing on func_ptr_is_kernel_text().
Since the func_ptr_is_kernel_text() is called from
notifier_call_chain() which is called from int3 handler,
probing it may cause double int3 fault and kernel will
reboot.
This happenes when the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_NOTIFIERS=y.
