Subject: [PATCH] Kprobes: Print details of kretprobe on assertion failure
Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 14:56:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070402092636.GA27905@in.ibm.com> (raw)

From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com>

In certain cases like when the real return address can't be found or
when the number of tracked calls to a kretprobed function is less than
the number of returns, we may not be able to find the correct return
address after processing a kretprobe. Currently we just do a BUG_ON, but
no information is provided about the actual failing kretprobe.

Print out details of the kretprobe before calling BUG().
