Subject: [PATCH 3/6] uprobes/x86: Accept more NOP forms
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 14:28:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821123656.935559566@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250821122822.671515652@infradead.org>

Instead of only accepting the x86_64 nop5 chosen by the kernel, accept
any x86_64 NOP or NOPL instruction that is 5 bytes.

Notably, the x86_64 nop5 pattern is valid in 32bit apps and could get
compiler generated when build for i686 (which introduced NOPL). Since
the trampoline is x86_64 only, make sure to limit to x86_64 code.
