[PATCH v2 1/3] x86/kprobes: Verify stack frame on kretprobe

Masami Hiramatsu
2019-01-08T04:44:50Z

Verify the stack frame pointer on kretprobe trampoline handler,
If the stack frame pointer does not match, it skips the wrong
entry and tries to find correct one.

This can happen if user puts the kretprobe on the function
which can be used in the path of ftrace user-function call.
Such functions should not be probed, so this adds a warning
message that reports which function should be blacklisted.
