Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2015 20:45:06 +0800 Message-ID: <1423485906-76291-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com> X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.8.4 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain X-Originating-IP: [10.107.197.247] X-CFilter-Loop: Reflected Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1520 Lines: 38 x86 kprobes is unable to probe at 2 bytes nop like: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) which is 0x0f 0x1f 0x44 0x00 0x00. Such nops have exactly 5 bytes which is able to hold a relative jmp instruction. Boosting them should be obviously safe. This patch enable boosting such nops by simply updating twobyte_is_boostable[] array.
