X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3680^2~3425^2~17
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f986a499ef6f317d906e6f6f281be966e1237a10;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

kprobes: return proper error code from register_kprobe()

register_kprobe() aborts if the address of the new request falls in a
prohibited area (such as ftrace pouch, __kprobes annotated functions,
non-kernel text addresses, jump label text).  We however don't return the
right error on this abort, resulting in a silent failure - incorrect
adding/reporting of kprobes ('perf probe do_fork+18' or 'perf probe
mcount' for instance).

In V2 we are incorporating Masami Hiramatsu's  feedback.

This patch fixes it by returning -EINVAL upon failure.

While we are here, rename the label used for exit to be more appropriate.
