The patch titled kretprobe: fix kretprobe-booster to save regs and set status has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fix-kretprobe-booster-to-save-regs-and-set-status.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kretprobe: fix kretprobe-booster to save regs and set status From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx> There are two bugs in the kretprobe-booster. 1) It doesn't make room for gs registers. 2) It doesn't change status of the current kprobe. This status will effect the fault handling. This patch fixes these bugs and, additionally, saves skipped registers for compatibility with the original kretprobe.
