[PATCH -tip v3 04/10] x86/kprobes: Prohibit probing on IRQ handlers directly

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Tue Feb 12 2019 - 11:13:10 EST


Prohibit probing on IRQ handlers in irqentry_text because
if it interrupts user mode, at that point we haven't changed
to kernel space yet and which eventually leads a double fault.
E.g.

# echo p apic_timer_interrupt > kprobe_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
PANIC: double fault, error_code: 0x0
CPU: 1 PID: 814 Comm: less Not tainted 4.20.0-rc3+ #30
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
RIP: 0010:error_entry+0x12/0xf0
