Subject: [ 35/95] kprobes: return proper error code from register_kprobe()
Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2012 11:02:37 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120309190205.165271653@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120309194424.GA2134@kroah.com>

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Prashanth Nageshappa <prashanth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit f986a499ef6f317d906e6f6f281be966e1237a10 upstream.

register_kprobe() aborts if the address of the new request falls in a
prohibited area (such as ftrace pouch, __kprobes annotated functions,
non-kernel text addresses, jump label text).  We however don't return the
right error on this abort, resulting in a silent failure - incorrect
adding/reporting of kprobes ('perf probe do_fork+18' or 'perf probe
mcount' for instance).

In V2 we are incorporating Masami Hiramatsu's  feedback.

This patch fixes it by returning -EINVAL upon failure.

While we are here, rename the label used for exit to be more appropriate.
