From eb3a72921c8276bf2cd028a458bb83435f16c91c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keshavamurthy Anil S Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 12:17:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: fix race in recovery of reentrant probe There is a window where a probe gets removed right after the probe is hit on some different cpu. In this case probe handlers can't find a matching probe instance related to break address. In this case we need to read the original instruction at break address to see if that is not a break/int3 instruction and recover safely. Previous code had a bug where we were not checking for the above race in case of reentrant probes and the below patch fixes this race. Tested on IA64, Powerpc, x86_64.
