Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: fix race in aggregate kprobe registration
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=adad0f331f9c693129e81e233c5461e2e7c3e443;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[PATCH] kprobes: fix race in aggregate kprobe registration

When registering multiple kprobes at the same address, we leave a small
window where the kprobe hlist will not contain a reference to the
registered kprobe, leading to potentially, a system crash if the breakpoint
is hit on another processor.

Patch below now automically relpace the old kprobe with the new
kprobe from the hash list.
