Subject: [PATCH v2 14/15] kprobes: Remove NMI context check
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2020 20:37:38 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <159852825822.707944.12873921829000019667.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <159852811819.707944.12798182250041968537.stgit@devnote2>

Since the commit 9b38cc704e84 ("kretprobe: Prevent triggering
kretprobe from within kprobe_flush_task") sets a dummy current
kprobe in the trampoline handler by kprobe_busy_begin/end(),
it is not possible to run a kretprobe pre handler in kretprobe
trampoline handler context even with the NMI. If the NMI interrupts
a kretprobe_trampoline_handler() and it hits a kretprobe, the
2nd kretprobe will detect recursion correctly and it will be
skipped.
This means we have almost no double-lock issue on kretprobes by NMI.

The last one point is in cleanup_rp_inst() which also takes
kretprobe_table_lock without setting up current kprobes.
So adding kprobe_busy_begin/end() there allows us to remove
in_nmi() check.

The above commit applies kprobe_busy_begin/end() on x86, but
now all arch implementation are unified to generic one, we can
safely remove the in_nmi() check from arch independent code.
