From e3944bfac961cd7fc82f3b3143c55dc375748569 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:07:13 -0500 Subject: tracing, x86: fix fixup section to return to original code Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable results and perhaps even a kernel panic. A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel. It should not lead to a kernel crash.

The parent variable is a pointer, and the address of the pointer is modified by the asm statement and not the pointer itself. It is incorrect to pass it in as an output constraint since the asm will never update the pointer.
