From: Rusty Lynch Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 22:17:15 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] kprobes/ia64: refuse inserting kprobe on slot 1 X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a528e21c235862cc1ae50e7809eb9116dc40ea0c;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git [PATCH] kprobes/ia64: refuse inserting kprobe on slot 1 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.
