[PATCH for review] [144/145] i386: Disallow kprobes on NMI handlers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



r

From: Fernando Luis =?ISO-8859-1?Q?V=E1zquez?= Cao <[email protected]>

A kprobe executes IRET early and that could cause NMI recursion and stack
corruption.

Note: This problem was originally spotted by Andi Kleen. This patch
      adds fixes not included in his original patch.
[AK: Jan Beulich originally discovered these classes of bugs]
