Subject: [PATCH 2/3] disallow kprobes on notifier_call_chain
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 13:02:29 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4518B465.9040408@intel.com> (raw)

Hi,

When kprobe is re-entered, the re-entered kprobe kernel path will will call atomic_notifier_call_chain function, if this function is kprobed that will incur numerous kprobe recursive fault. This patch disallows kprobes on atomic_notifier_call_chain function.
