From: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f76fbbbb5061fe14824ba5807c44bd7400a6b4e1 ] Use the actual return value instead of always -1 if register_kretprobe() failed. E.g. without this patch: # insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Operation not permitted With this patch: # insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Unknown symbol in module Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1635213091-24387-2-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: 804defea1c02 ("Kprobes: move kprobe examples to samples/") Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c b/samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c index 7f9060f435cde..da6de5e78e1dd 100644 --- a/samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c +++ b/samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c @@ -83,7 +83,7 @@ static int __init kretprobe_init(void) ret = register_kretprobe(&my_kretprobe); if (ret < 0) { pr_err("register_kretprobe failed, returned %d\n", ret); - return -1; + return ret; } pr_info("Planted return probe at %s: %p\n", my_kretprobe.kp.symbol_name, my_kretprobe.kp.addr); -- 2.33.0
