Subject[PATCH v5 2/2] [BUGFIX] kprobes: Fix "Failed to find blacklist" error on ia64 and ppc64
From
Date
On ia64 and ppc64, the function pointer does not point the
entry address of the function, but the address of function
discriptor (which contains the entry address and misc
data.) Since the kprobes passes the function pointer stored
by NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() to kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() for
initalizing its blacklist, it fails and reports many errors
as below.

To fix this bug, this introduces function_entry() macro to
retrieve the entry address from the given function pointer,
and uses for kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() while initializing
blacklist.

Changes in v5:
- Use arch_deref_entry_point() instead of function_entry().

Changes in v4:
- Add kernel_text_address() check for verifying the address.
- Moved on the latest linus tree.

Changes in v3:
- Fix a bug to get blacklist address based on function entry
instead of function descriptor. (Suzuki's work, Thanks!)

Changes in V2:
- Use function_entry() macro when lookin up symbols instead
of storing it.
- Update for the latest -next.
