In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rcu: Avoid stack overflow due to _rcuirqenterchecktick() being kprobe-ed Registering a kprobe on _rcuirqenterchecktick() can cause kernel stack overflow as shown below. This issue can be reproduced by enabling CONFIGNOHZFULL and booting the kernel with argument "nohzfull=", and then giving the following commands at the shell prompt: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # echo 'p:mp1 _rcuirqenterchecktick' >> kprobeevents # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable This commit therefore adds _rcuirqenterchecktick() to the kprobes blacklist using NOKPROBESYMBOL(). Insufficient stack space to handle exception!
