From a189d0350f387786b1fb5a5d19e3a5ab0bc0cceb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 13:26:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: disable preempt for module_text_address() and kernel_text_address() __register_kprobe() can be preempted after checking probing address but before module_text_address() or try_module_get(), and in this interval the module can be unloaded. In that case, try_module_get(probed_mod) will access to invalid address, or kprobe will probe invalid address. This patch uses preempt_disable() to protect it and uses __module_text_address() and __kernel_text_address().
