<content type='text'>
The following commit introduced a bug in one of our error paths:

  819319fc9346 ("kprobes: Return error if we fail to reuse kprobe instead of BUG_ON()")

it missed to handle the return value of kprobe_optready() as
error-value. In reality, the kprobe_optready() returns a bool
result, so "true" case must be passed instead of 0.

This causes some errors on kprobe boot-time selftests on ARM:

 [   ] Beginning kprobe tests...
 [   ] Probe ARM code
 [   ]     kprobe
 [   ]     kretprobe
 [   ] ARM instruction simulation
 [   ]     Check decoding tables
 [   ]     Run test cases
 [   ] FAIL: test_case_handler not run
 [   ] FAIL: Test andge	r10, r11, r14, asr r7
 [   ] FAIL: Scenario 11
 ...
 [   ] FAIL: Scenario 7
 [   ] Total instruction simulation tests=1631, pass=1433 fail=198
 [   ] kprobe tests failed

This can happen if an optimized probe is unregistered and next
kprobe is registered on same address until the previous probe
is not reclaimed.

If this happens, a hidden aggregated probe may be kept in memory,
and no new kprobe can probe same address. Also, in that case
register_kprobe() will return "1" instead of minus error value,
which can mislead caller logic.

<title>kprobes: Search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist</title>

<id>6143c6fb1e8f9bde9c434038f7548a19d36b55e7</id>
<content type='text'>
Newer GCC versions can generate some different instances of a function
with suffixed symbols if the function is optimized and only
has a part of that. (e.g. .constprop, .part etc.)

In this case, it is not enough to check the entry of kprobe
blacklist because it only records non-suffixed symbol address.

To fix this issue, search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist if
given address is within a symbol which has a suffix.

Note that this can cause false positive cases if a kprobe-safe
function is optimized to suffixed instance and has same name
symbol which is blacklisted.
But I would like to chose a fail-safe design for this issue.

Blacklist symbols in arch-defined probe-prohibited areas.
With this change, user can see all symbols which are prohibited
to probe in debugfs.

All archtectures which have custom prohibit areas should define
its own arch_populate_kprobe_blacklist() function, but unless that,
all symbols marked __kprobes are blacklisted.

Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of code
as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched() can be
replaced by synchronize_rcu().  This commit therefore makes this change.

Instead of calling BUG_ON(), if we find a kprobe in use on free kprobe
list, just remove it from the list and keep it on kprobe hash list
as same as other in-use kprobes.

Since reuse_unused_kprobe() is called when the given kprobe
is unused, checking it inside again with BUG_ON() is
pointless. Remove it.

Before calling add_new_kprobe(), aggr_probe's GONE
flag and kprobe GONE flag are cleared. We don't need
to worry about that flag at this point.

All aggr_probes at this line are already disarmed by
disable_kprobe() or checked by kprobe_disarmed().

So this BUG_ON() is pointless, remove it.
