X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc1~41^2~53
X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=567a9fd86735ccdc897768ed2dacdd5e83a13509
kprobes/x86: Fix kprobes to skip prefixes correctly
Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
attribute.
Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
recognize the "ret" instruction.
These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.
