This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/kprobes: Fix to check non boostable prefixes correctly to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-kprobes-fix-to-check-non-boostable-prefixes-corr.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit dd52d0b3271733b7ac7854c545abdb4931f386a6 Author: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 25 19:08:31 2021 +0900 x86/kprobes: Fix to check non boostable prefixes correctly [ Upstream commit 6dd3b8c9f58816a1354be39559f630cd1bd12159 ] There are 2 bugs in the can_boost() function because of using x86 insn decoder. Since the insn->opcode never has a prefix byte, it can not find CS override prefix in it. And the insn->attr is the attribute of the opcode, thus inat_is_address_size_prefix( insn->attr) always returns false. Fix those by checking each prefix bytes with for_each_insn_prefix loop and getting the correct attribute for each prefix byte. Also, this removes unlikely, because this is a slow path.
