From 7f11f5ecf4ae09815dc2de267c5e04d1de01d862 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Mladek Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 17:12:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace/x86: BUG when ftrace recovery fails Ftrace modifies function calls using Int3 breakpoints on x86. The breakpoints are handled only when the patching is in progress. If something goes wrong, there is a recovery code that removes the breakpoints. If this fails, the system might get silently rebooted when a remaining break is not handled or an invalid instruction is proceed. We should BUG() when the breakpoint could not be removed. Otherwise, the system silently crashes when the function finishes the Int3 handler is disabled. Note that we need to modify remove_breakpoint() to return non-zero value only when there is an error. The return value was ignored before, so it does not cause any troubles.
