Revision 297f9233b53a08fd457815e19f1d6f2c3389857b authored by Jessica Yu on 09 January 2018, 23:51:24 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 16 February 2018, 08:12:58 UTC
Improve error handling when disarming ftrace-based kprobes. Like with arm_kprobe_ftrace(), propagate any errors from disarm_kprobe_ftrace() so that we do not disable/unregister kprobes that are still armed. In other words, unregister_kprobe() and disable_kprobe() should not report success if the kprobe could not be disarmed. disarm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to disarm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be disarmed. This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452 However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.
