This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kprobes: Prohibit probing on CFI preamble symbol to the 5.15-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: kprobes-prohibit-probing-on-cfi-preamble-symbol.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2a6036f165ef4c34154b3d49a1f252f8c5e5e3c6 Author: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 11 10:50:47 2023 +0900 kprobes: Prohibit probing on CFI preamble symbol [ Upstream commit de02f2ac5d8cfb311f44f2bf144cc20002f1fbbd ] Do not allow to probe on "__cfi_" or "__pfx_" started symbol, because those are used for CFI and not executed. Probing it will break the CFI.
