Naveen N. Rao fa99a3470e powerpc/kprobes: Fix call trace due to incorrect preempt count
commit e6e133c47e upstream.

Michael Ellerman reported the following call trace when running
ftracetest:

  BUG: using __this_cpu_write() in preemptible [00000000] code: ftracetest/6178
  caller is opt_pre_handler+0xc4/0x110
  CPU: 1 PID: 6178 Comm: ftracetest Not tainted 4.15.0-rc7-gcc6x-gb2cd1df #1

This is showing up since OPTPROBES is now enabled with CONFIG_PREEMPT.

trampoline_probe_handler() considers itself to be a special kprobe
handler for kretprobes. In doing so, it expects to be called from
kprobe_handler() on a trap, and re-enables preemption before returning a
non-zero return value so as to suppress any subsequent processing of the
trap by the kprobe_handler().

However, with optprobes, we don't deal with special handlers (we ignore
the return code) and just try to re-enable preemption causing the above
trace.

To address this, modify trampoline_probe_handler() to not be special.
The only additional processing done in kprobe_handler() is to emulate
the instruction (in this case, a 'nop'). We adjust the value of
regs->nip for the purpose and delegate the job of re-enabling
preemption and resetting current kprobe to the probe handlers
(kprobe_handler() or optimized_callback()).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
