>From "Anil S Keshvamurthy@xxxxxxxxx" <anil.s.keshavamurthy@xxxxxxxxx> Subject:[Kprobe] Fix kprobe reentracy In case of reentrance i.e when a probe handler calls a functions which inturn has a probe, we save a previous kprobe information and just single step the reentrant probe without calling the actual probe handler. During this reentracy period, if an interrupt occurs and if probe happens to trigger in the inturrupt path, then we were corrupting the previous kprobe( as we were overriding the previous kprobe info) info their by crashing the system. This patch fixes this issues by having a an array of previous kprobe info struct(with the array size of 2). This similar technique is not needed on i386 and x86_64 because by default interrupts are turn off in the break/int3 exception handler.
