[PATCH] Kprobes: Print details of kretprobe on assertion failure

From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli
Date: Mon Apr 02 2007 - 05:23:26 EST


From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@xxxxxxxxxx>

In certain cases like when the real return address can't be found or
when the number of tracked calls to a kretprobed function is less than
the number of returns, we may not be able to find the correct return
address after processing a kretprobe. Currently we just do a BUG_ON, but
no information is provided about the actual failing kretprobe.

Print out details of the kretprobe before calling BUG().
