From ec6aba3d2be1ed75b3f4c894bb64a36d40db1f55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 25 May 2021 09:25:19 +0200 Subject: kprobes: Remove kprobe::fault_handler The reason for kprobe::fault_handler(), as given by their comment: * We come here because instructions in the pre/post * handler caused the page_fault, this could happen * if handler tries to access user space by * copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. Let the * user-specified handler try to fix it first. Is just plain bad. Those other handlers are ran from non-preemptible context and had better use _nofault() functions. Also, there is no upstream usage of this.
