Subject: [PATCH]x86_64 debug_stack nested patch (again)
Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 17:26:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200605101726.08338.bibo.mao@intel.com> (raw)
Hi,
In x86_64 platform, INT1 and INT3 trap stack is IST stack called DEBUG_STACK,
when INT1/INT3 trap happens, system will switch to DEBUG_STACK by hardware.
Current DEBUG_STACK size is 4K, when int1/int3 trap happens, kernel will
minus current DEBUG_STACK IST value by 4k. But if int3/int1 trap is nested,
it will destroy other vector's IST stack. This patch modifies this, it sets
DEBUG_STACK size as 8K and allows two level of nested int1/int3 trap.
Kprobe DEBUG_STACK may be nested, because kprobe hanlder may be probed
by other kprobes. This patch is against 2.6.17-rc3. Thanks jbeulich for pointing out error in the first patch.
