[PATCH] uprobes/x86: allow to probe a "nop" insn with 0x66 prefix
Posted by Oleg Nesterov 3 years ago 
From: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com>

Intel icc -hotpatch inserts 2-byte "0x66 0x90" NOP at the start of each
function to reserve extra space for hot-patching, and currently it is not
possible to probe these functions because branch_setup_xol_ops() wrongly
nacks NOP with REP prefix.

Fixes: 250bbd12c2fe ("uprobes/x86: Refuse to attach uprobe to "word-sized" branch insns")

The SOB chain is invalid as it lacks the author's signoff.

Denys, can we have your signed-off-by?

OK, let me turn "From" into "Suggested-by" if this can help to merge this fix.

After all, the patch is really simple, I don't think Denys will object when he
returns.

I am sending v2 with Masami's ack applied.

Oleg.

uprobes/x86: Allow to probe a NOP instruction with 0x66 prefix

Intel ICC -hotpatch inserts 2-byte "0x66 0x90" NOP at the start of each
function to reserve extra space for hot-patching, and currently it is not
possible to probe these functions because branch_setup_xol_ops() wrongly
rejects NOP with REP prefix as it treats them like word-sized branch
instructions.
