You added this one in the previous patch, but it disappears here.

Now that we have arch_populate_kprobe_blacklist(), does the arch-code need to
blacklist the kprobes section itself?

The weak arch_within_kprobe_blacklist() will test it at kprobe-load time, and
populate_kprobe_blacklist() adds it to the list before it calls
arch_populate_kprobe_blacklist().

Won't this result in duplicate entries?

Hmmm, I think we have a bug here today.

This is saying we can kprobe KVM when we have VHE, because all of KVMs code runs
at the same exception-level as the kernel. Which is true...
But KVM switches VBAR_EL1, so if we run over one of kprobes BRK instructions,
we're going to hyp-panic, because KVM doesn't handle synchronous exceptions from
EL2.

The __hyp_text also contains the guest entry/exit code, which we mustn't probe,
even on VHE.

I think we should always blacklist the __hyp_text, and KVM should mark its
vhe-only functions with __kprobes. I'll post patches for this.


Thanks,

James
