From c280f7736ab26a601932b1ce017a3840dbedcfdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2016 09:02:49 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "x86/unwind: Detect bad stack return address" Revert the following commit: b6959a362177 ("x86/unwind: Detect bad stack return address") ... because Andrey Konovalov reported an unwinder warning: WARNING: unrecognized kernel stack return address ffffffffa0000001 at ffff88006377fa18 in a.out:4467 The unwind was initiated from an interrupt which occurred while running in the generated code for a kprobe. The unwinder printed the warning because it expected regs->ip to point to a valid text address, but instead it pointed to the generated code. Eventually we may want come up with a way to identify generated kprobe code so the unwinder can know that it's a valid return address. Until then, just remove the warning.
