[PATCH -tip RFC v2 20/22] [BUGFIX] kprobes: Prohibit probing onfunc_ptr_is_kernel_text

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Nov 14 2013 - 23:56:56 EST


Prohibit probing on func_ptr_is_kernel_text() by adding
it to the kprobe_blacklist.

Since the func_ptr_is_kernel_text() is called from
notifier_call_chain() which is called from int3 handler,
probing it may cause double int3 fault and kernel will
reboot.

This happenes when the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_NOTIFIERS=y.
