[PATCH -tip 0/5] kprobes: Remove BUG_ON from kprobes

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Tue Aug 21 2018 - 05:38:07 EST


Hi,

Here are patches to remove BUG_ON from kprobes.

Since BUG_ON() kills the machine, it must not be used
for debugging or assertion. These patches remove
meaningless BUG_ON or replace it with return errors.

Thank you,
