Subject: [v2,1/7] x86: refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2018 20:56:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180827185631.163506-2-jannh@google.com> (raw)
This is an extension of commit b506a9d08bae ("x86: code clarification patch
to Kprobes arch code"). As that commit explains, even though
kprobe_running() can't be called with preemption enabled, you don't have to
disable preemption - if preemption is on, you can't be in a kprobe.
Also, use X86_TRAP_PF instead of 14.
