Subject: [S390] kprobes breaks BUG_ON
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 23:39:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070305223910.GA22630@skybase> (raw)
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
[S390] kprobes breaks BUG_ON
The illegal operation handler calls the die notifier with DIE_BPT to
let kprobes pick up its breakpoint. If kprobes does not find its
breakpoint it returns NOTIFY_STOP instead of NOTIFY_DONE.
Since we use stop_machine_run on s390 to arm/disarm the kprobes
breakpoints the race that kprobe_handler tries to solve by checking
for the kprobes breakpoints does not exist. Removing the check makes
BUG_ON working again.
