Subject: [PATCH] kprobes/ia64: refuse inserting kprobe on slot 1
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a528e21c235862cc1ae50e7809eb9116dc40ea0c;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%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.
