[ Upstream commit ee6a7354a3629f9b65bc18dbe393503e9440d6f5 ] Since MOV SS and POP SS instructions will delay the exceptions until the next instruction is executed, single-stepping on it by kprobes must be prohibited. However, kprobes usually executes those instructions directly on trampoline buffer (a.k.a. kprobe-booster), except for the kprobes which has post_handler. Thus if kprobe user probes MOV SS with post_handler, it will do single-stepping on the MOV SS. This means it is safe that if it is used via ftrace or perf/bpf since those don't use the post_handler. Anyway, since the stack switching is a rare case, it is safer just rejecting kprobes on such instructions.

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.
