kprobes: Prohibit probing on bsearch()

2019-04-05T20:29:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 02106f883cd745523f7766d90a739f983f19e650 ] Since kprobe breakpoing handler is using bsearch(), probing on this routine can cause recursive breakpoint problem. int3 ->do_int3() ->ftrace_int3_handler() ->ftrace_location() ->ftrace_location_range() ->bsearch() -> int3 Prohibit probing on bsearch().

lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible

2012-03-07T20:04:04+00:00

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along the way. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

lib: Add generic binary search function to the kernel.

2011-05-19T07:25:27+00:00

There a large number hand-coded binary searches in the kernel (run "git grep search | grep binary" to find many of them). Since in my experience, hand-coding binary searches can be error-prone, it seems worth cleaning this up by providing a generic binary search function. This generic binary search implementation comes from Ksplice. It has the same basic API as the C library bsearch() function. Ksplice uses it in half a dozen places with 4 different comparison functions, and I think our code is substantially cleaner because of this.
