Subject: Immedate Values Optimized Jump Fix
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:57:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080717025738.GA23277@Krystal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080715024754.GA26471@Krystal>
I rarely emit a single patch for a fix wrt LTTng (I usually just release
a new version), but this one is worth it. It will be in 0.11 pretty
soon, but if you want to apply it to 0.10 meanwhile, it's highly
recommended.
Caused a kernel OOPS when loading the tracepoint probes once in a while
on a 8-way x86_64.
Immedate Values Optimized Jump Fix
Fix the immediate values optimized jump fallback, which parameters were wrong
following the last changes. It should be a 5 bytes instruction (not 2) with a 4
bytes operand.
