      [PATCH] kprobes/ia64: refuse kprobe on ivt code · c7b645f9
      Keshavamurthy Anil S authored 
      Not safe to insert kprobes on IVT code.

This patch checks to see if the address on which Kprobes is being inserted is
in ivt code and if it is in ivt code then refuse to register kprobe.

      [PATCH] kprobes/ia64: refuse inserting kprobe on slot 1 · a528e21c
      Rusty Lynch authored 
      Without the ability to atomically write 16 bytes, we can not update the
middle slot of a bundle, slot 1, unless we stop the machine first.  This
patch will ensure the ability to robustly insert and remove a kprobe by
refusing to insert a kprobe on slot 1 until a mechanism is in place to
safely handle this case.

      [PATCH] Return probe redesign: ppc64 specific implementation · 97f7943d
      Rusty Lynch authored 
      The following is a patch provided by Ananth Mavinakayanahalli that implements
the new PPC64 specific parts of the new function return probe design.

NOTE: Since getting Ananth's patch, I changed trampoline_probe_handler()
      to consume each of the outstanding return probem instances (feedback
      on my original RFC after Ananth cut a patch), and also added the
      arch_init() function (adding arch specific initialization.) I have
      cross compiled but have not testing this on a PPC64 machine.

Changes include:
 * Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented
   functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place
   a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler
   can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back
   to the original return address.
 * Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on
   kretprobe_trampoline
 * Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler
   for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation.  This is the function
   that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function
   and returning control back at the original return address
 * Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler
   for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by
   kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when
   a caller enters the target function.  (A return probe instance contains
   all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.)
 * Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over
   return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function
   then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function
   but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)
