[PATCH 3.10 21/32] x86/asm/traps: Disable tracing and kprobes in fixup_bad_iret and sync_regs

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jan 27 2015 - 21:16:46 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7ddc6a2199f1da405a2fb68c40db8899b1a8cd87 upstream.

These functions can be executed on the int3 stack, so kprobes
are dangerous. Tracing is probably a bad idea, too.

Fixes: b645af2d5905 ("x86_64, traps: Rework bad_iret")

[bwh: Backported to 3.10:
- Use __kprobes instead of NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
- Adjust context]
