[PATCH -tip] kprobes: Fix an inverted result check for reusing optimized probe

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Mon Apr 15 2019 - 02:01:47 EST


Fix an inverted result check for reusing unused kprobe correctly.
This has been introduced by commit 819319fc9346 ("kprobes: Return
error if we fail to reuse kprobe instead of BUG_ON()"), which
missed to handle the return value of kprobe_optready() as
error-value. In reality, the kprobe_optready() returns a bool
result, so "true" case must be passed instead of 0.

This causes some errors on kprobe boot-time selftests on arm.

[ 74.211776] Total instruction simulation tests=1631, pass=1433 fail=198
[ 74.212168] kprobe tests failed

This can happen if an optimized probe is unregistered and next
kprobe is registered on same address until the previous probe
is not reclaimed.

If this happens, a hidden aggregated probe may be kept in memory,
and no new kprobe can probe same address. Also, in that case
register_kprobe() will return "1" instead of minus error value,
which can mislead caller logic.
