From 3d8d996e0ca5b4093203d3f050b0f70b5c949ae8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srinivasa Ds Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:14:26 -0700 Subject: kprobes: prevent probing of preempt_schedule() Prohibit users from probing preempt_schedule(). One way of prohibiting the user from probing functions is by marking such functions with __kprobes. But this method doesn't work for those functions, which are already marked to different section like preempt_schedule() (belongs to __sched section). So we use blacklist approach to refuse user from probing these functions. In blacklist approach we populate the blacklisted function's starting address and its size in kprobe_blacklist structure. Then we verify the user specified address against start and end of the blacklisted function. So any attempt to register probe on blacklisted functions will be rejected.
