Rather than using the hard coded value 64 it would be safest to create a #define for the value (in arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h) and use that define in __und_svc too. Actually, there is already a define there for MAX_STACK_SIZE which is used as the size of the stack for jprobes and the amount copied by setjmp_pre_handler and longjmp_break_handler, which looks like it has the same purpose as we want i.e. allowing space for probed instructions to push things onto the stack. So we should probably use that define in this patch and update __und_svc too. Also, jprobe_return has this comment * We allocate some slack between the original SP and start of * our fabricated regs. To be precise we want to have worst case * covered which is STMFD with all 16 regs so we allocate 2 * * sizeof(struct_pt_regs)). * * This is to prevent any simulated instruction from writing * over the regs when they are accessing the stack. which looking at the code should probably more accurately specified as sizeof(struct_pt_regs)+MAX_STACK_SIZE rather than 2*sizeof(struct_pt_regs) I've not looked at the jprobes specific code before, so it would be good to have someone else's option on what I save above about how MAX_STACK_SIZE is and should be used. -- Tixy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
