Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Ignore unsupported instructions in uprobe_mmap
Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2012 15:35:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120802100515.GC5782@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120731124805.GA485@redhat.com>
uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the probed insn is not
supported (remember, uprobe_register() succeeds if nobody mmaps
inode/offset). Failure in uprobe_mmap() causes mmap_region/do_fork to
fail too.
However failing mmap_region()/do_fork() because of a probe on an
unsupported instruction is wrong.
Hence change uprobe_mmap() to ignore unsupported instructions.
Oleg Nesterov analyzed the root cause of this problem.
While at it, add a missing put_uprobe() in the path where uprobe_mmap()
races with uprobe_unregister().
