From 6f6343f53d133bae516caf3d254bce37d8774625 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 17:17:33 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes/x86: Call exception handlers directly from do_int3/do_debug To avoid a kernel crash by probing on lockdep code, call kprobe_int3_handler() and kprobe_debug_handler()(which was formerly called post_kprobe_handler()) directly from do_int3 and do_debug. Currently kprobes uses notify_die() to hook the int3/debug exceptoins. Since there is a locking code in notify_die, the lockdep code can be invoked. And because the lockdep involves printk() related things, theoretically, we need to prohibit probing on such code, which means much longer blacklist we'll have. Instead, hooking the int3/debug for kprobes before notify_die() can avoid this problem. Anyway, most of the int3 handlers in the kernel are already called from do_int3 directly, e.g. ftrace_int3_handler, poke_int3_handler, kgdb_ll_trap. Actually only kprobe_exceptions_notify is on the notifier_call_chain.
