[PATCH v2] error: ERROR probe firing should not corrupt probe arguments

Kris Van Hees
2024-09-10T04:33:20Z

When an ERROR probe fires due to a fault happening while processing a
probe firing, it was corrupting the first 6 probe arguments of the
probe causing the fault because they were being overwritten. But since
a fault only aborts the execution of the clause it occurs in, those
original probe arguments might still be needed for other clauses that
are executed for the original probe.

Save arg0 through arg5 prior to calling the ERROR probe, and restore
them after the ERROR probe finishes.
