Subject: kprobes: prevent probing of preempt_schedule()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~874
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3d8d996e0ca5b4093203d3f050b0f70b5c949ae8;p=linux-2.6

kprobes: prevent probing of preempt_schedule()

Prohibit users from probing preempt_schedule().  One way of prohibiting the
user from probing functions is by marking such functions with __kprobes.  But
this method doesn't work for those functions, which are already marked to
different section like preempt_schedule() (belongs to __sched section).  So we
use blacklist approach to refuse user from probing these functions.

In blacklist approach we populate the blacklisted function's starting address
and its size in kprobe_blacklist structure.  Then we verify the user specified
address against start and end of the blacklisted function.  So any attempt to
register probe on blacklisted functions will be rejected.
