From df9d177aa28d50e64bae6fbd6b263833079e3571 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philippe Elie Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:58:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] oProfile: oops when profile_pc() returns ~0LU Instruction pointer returned by profile_pc() can be a random value. This break the assumption than we can safely set struct op_sample.eip field to a magic value to signal to the per-cpu buffer reader side special event like task switch ending up in a segfault in get_task_mm() when profile_pc() return ~0UL. Fixed by sanitizing the sampled eip and reject/log invalid eip. Problem reported by Sami Farin, patch tested by him.
