Sorry for delay, vacation.

Yes, and I even posted a similar fix but forgot to send it officially ...

Thanks Sebastian! I am sure it was not easy to debug this problem.


But to remind, there is another problem with in_ia32_syscall() && uprobes.

get_unmapped_area() paths use in_ia32_syscall() and this is wrong in case
when the caller is xol_add_vma(), in this case TS_COMPAT won't be set.

Usually the addr = TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE passed to get_unmapped_area() should
work, mm->get_unmapped_area() won't be even called. But if this addr is already
occupied get_area() can return addr > TASK_SIZE.

Test-case:

	#include <sys/mman.h>

	void func(void)
	{
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		// 0xffffd000 == TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE
		mmap((void*)0xffffd000, 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,0);

		func();

		return 0;
	}

	$ cc -m32 -Wall -g T.c -o ./t
	$ perf probe -x ./t func+1		# +1 to avoid push_emulate_op()
	$ perf record -e probe_t:func -aR ./t

perf-record "hangs" because ./t endlessly restarts the probed insn while
get_xol_area() can't succeed.

I verified that the "patch" below fixes the problem, any idea how to fix
it properly?

Oleg.
