samples/kretprobes: Fix return value if register_kretprobe() failed

2021-11-18T13:04:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit f76fbbbb5061fe14824ba5807c44bd7400a6b4e1 ] Use the actual return value instead of always -1 if register_kretprobe() failed. E.g. without this patch: # insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Operation not permitted With this patch: # insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Unknown symbol in module Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1635213091-24387-2-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn Fixes: 804defea1c02 ("Kprobes: move kprobe examples to samples/") Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

Merge tag 'kernel-clone-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

2020-10-14T21:32:52+00:00

Pull kernel_clone() updates from Christian Brauner: "During the v5.9 merge window we reworked the process creation codepaths across multiple architectures. After this work we were only left with the _do_fork() helper based on the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. As was pointed out _do_fork() isn't valid kernelese especially for a helper that isn't just static. This series removes the _do_fork() helper and introduces the new kernel_clone() helper. The process creation cleanup didn't change the name to something more reasonable mainly because _do_fork() was used in quite a few places. So sending this as a separate series seemed the better strategy. I originally intended to send this early in the v5.9 development cycle after the merge window had closed but given that this was touching quite a few places I decided to defer this until the v5.10 merge window" * tag 'kernel-clone-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: sched: remove _do_fork() tracing: switch to kernel_clone() kgdbts: switch to kernel_clone() kprobes: switch to kernel_clone() x86: switch to kernel_clone() sparc: switch to kernel_clone() nios2: switch to kernel_clone() m68k: switch to kernel_clone() ia64: switch to kernel_clone() h8300: switch to kernel_clone() fork: introduce kernel_clone()

tracing: switch to kernel_clone()

The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper. The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.

docs: move remaining stuff under Documentation/*.txt to Documentation/staging

2020-06-19T20:17:05+00:00

There are several files that I was unable to find a proper place for them, and 3 ones that are still in plain old text format. Let's place those stuff behind the carpet, as we'd like to keep the root directory clean. We can later discuss and move those into better places.

arch: remove tile port

2018-03-16T09:56:03+00:00

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer uses the Tile architecture. There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future. Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.
