From e863d5396146411b615231cae0c518cb2a23371c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 19:00:19 +0900 Subject: kprobes: Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path. As described in Documentation/kprobes.txt, with optprobe user handler can not change instruction pointer. In that case user must avoid optimizing the kprobes by setting post_handler or break_handler.
