[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 005/219] kretprobes: Ensure probe location is at function entry

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 90ec5e89e393c76e19afc845d8f88a5dc8315919 ]

kretprobes can be registered by specifying an absolute address or by
specifying offset to a symbol. However, we need to ensure this falls at
function entry so as to be able to determine the return address.

Validate the same during kretprobe registration. By default, there
should not be any offset from a function entry, as determined through a
kallsyms_lookup(). Introduce arch_function_offset_within_entry() as a
way for architectures to override this.

Sorry if this is obvious, but why was this patch picked up for -stable? =20
I don't see the upstream commit tagging -stable, so curious why this was=20
done.

I don't think this patch should be pushed to -stable since this is not=20
really a bug fix. There are also other dependencies for this change (see=20
commit a64e3f35a45f4a, for instance), including how userspace (perf)=20
builds out the retprobe argument. As such, please drop this from -stable=20
(for 3.18. 4.4 and 4.9).

Thanks,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,

It's an automatic selection process that attempts to find commits that
should be in stable but weren't tagged as such.

I'll drop this patch, thanks!
