Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] powerpc/64s: Un-blacklist system_call() from kprobes
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 16:11:08 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2832438c5f54ec9bef25ffacedff52c145a53d61.1498732172.git.naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1498732172.git.naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1498732172.git.naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

It is actually safe to probe system_call() in entry_64.S, but only till
we unset MSR_RI. To allow this, add a new symbol system_call_exit()
after the mtmsrd and blacklist that. Though the mtmsrd instruction
itself is now whitelisted, we won't be allowed to probe on it as we
don't allow probing on rfi and mtmsr instructions (checked for in
arch_prepare_kprobe()).
