commit1993bf9799upstream. Since the CONFIG_RETHUNK and CONFIG_SLS will use INT3 for stopping speculative execution after RET instruction, kprobes always failes to check the probed instruction boundary by decoding the function body if the probed address is after such sequence. (Note that some conditional code blocks will be placed after function return, if compiler decides it is not on the hot path.) This is because kprobes expects kgdb puts the INT3 as a software breakpoint and it will replace the original instruction. But these INT3 are not such purpose, it doesn't need to recover the original instruction. To avoid this issue, kprobes checks whether the INT3 is owned by kgdb or not, and if so, stop decoding and make it fail. The other INT3 will come from CONFIG_RETHUNK/CONFIG_SLS and those can be treated as a one-byte instruction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
